Breadth Negative as Indices Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks retreated on Wednesday. The S&P 500 declined 15 points to 2108. The NASDAQ fell 37 points to 5122. The volume totals were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a sign of distributional pressure from the institutional crowd. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 58 high-ranked companies from the Leaders Listthat made new 52-week highs and appeared on the BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 98 stocks. The new 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for only 2 of the 16 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page, a more negative bias than the broader market. Healthy leadership (many stocks hitting new 52-week highs) remains a reassuring sign that investors have a favorable market environment (M criteria). The fact-based investment system encourages only buying stocks meeting all of the key fundamental and technical criteria.  PICTURED: The Dow slumped back below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line as it lost 177 points to 17966. Prior lows and the 200 DMA line define the next important support level to watch. The major averages slid lower as a Greek debt deal proved elusive to reach. Talks between EU and Greek officials were adjourned without resolution. Economic data showed U.S. GDP only contracted 0.2% in the first quarter, while consumer spending accelerated by 2.1%. All 10 S&P 500 sectors finished lower. Materials were off the most. Mixed earnings and reports of delays in the Sygenta acquisition left Monsanto (MON -5.73%) lower. Industrials also underperformed as Boeing (BA -0.99) fell after announcing a CEO shift. Following strong gains, financials were led lower by Bank of America (BAC -1.02%). Consumer discretionary stocks were mixed. Office Depot (ODP -2.41%) and Staples (SPLS -4.63%) were both lower on reports of merger-related regulatory hurdles. However, homebuilder Lennar (LEN +4.20%) rallied on the heels of a strong earnings tally. Treasuries advanced with the 10-year note up 10/32 to yield 2.37%. Amid a $35 billion auction, the five-year security gained 4/32 to yield 1.67%. Commodities were mostly lower. WTI crude retreated 1.2% to $60.27/barrel. COMEX gold fell 0.3% to $1172.60/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar was little changed with the euro up 0.3% to $1.1200/EUR and the yen 0.1% stronger to ¥123.86/USD The Featured Stocks Page shows the most current notes with headline links which direct members into the more detailed letter-by-letter analysis including price/volume graphs annotated by our experts.

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Biotechnology Index ($BTK-1.33%), Networking Index ($NWX -1.38%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.02%) finished unanimously lower. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.17%) eked out a tiny gain, meanwhile, the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.76%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.22%) both ended the session lower. PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.02%) is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which recently acted as support.

Computer Security Firm Building on a Flat Base
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Cheetah Mobile Cl A (CMCM $33.08) finished the session unchanged after highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 5/20/15 high while building a flat base. It is still perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high following a volume-driven gain when noted with caution on 6/18/15 in the mid-day report, and it has now built a short flat base of sufficient length. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Recent lows define near-term support in the $30 area above its 50 DMA line ($28.97) where violations would raise concerns. It has reported earnings increases of +300%, +250%, +150%, and +80% for the Jun, Sep, Dec '14 and Mar '15 quarterly comparisons, respectively, versus the year ago periods. The quarterly earnings increases were well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), but the deceleration in its earnings growth rate is of some concern. It has still been showing strong sales revenues growth rates as it reported earnings +80% on +113% sales revenues for the Mar '15 quarter . Its limited annual earnings (A criteria) history is a concern, while it has made choppy progress since its $14 IPO on 5/08/14. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares reportedly fell from 50 in Jun '14 to only 27 as of Mar '15, however, its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. The Computer Software - Security group has the highest possible Group Relative Strength rating of 99, a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria.

Y - Churned above average volume this week while making little progress above April highs, a sign of distributional pressure. Recent lows ($38.00 on 5/06/15) define the next important support where a violation would trigger a technical sell signal.

Y - Gapped up today and hit a new 52-week high, rallying near its "max buy" level with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Subsequent losses leading to a close below its old high close ($97.27 on 3/20/15) would raise concerns by completely negating the recent breakout.

G - Hovering near all-time highs today, extended from any sound base. Its 50 DMA line ($161.09) and prior highs in the $158 area define support where subsequent violations would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals.

Y - Finished the session unchanged after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 5/20/15 high while building a flat base in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Recent lows define near-term support in the $30 area above its 50 DMA line ($28.97) where violations would raise concerns. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and new annotated graphs.
