Nasdaq Composite Index Finished at New 2014 High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages snapped a two-day retreat on Wednesday. The session's volume was reported slightly higher than the prior session total on the NYSE but volume was lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 9-5 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership contracted as here were 27 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the total of 50 stocks on the prior session. New 52-week highs contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 8 of the 13 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The S&P 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average recently surged into new high territory with healthy leadership (new 52-week highs) sending a reassuring signal that the market direction (M criteria) is in a "confirmed uptrend". Any new buying efforts should be selective and focused in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 29 points to 4,379, its best close of 2014. The tech-heavy index is up +4.8% year-to-date.
Another batch of economic data was in focus. The final revision to first-quarter GDP showed the U.S. economy contracted at a more than expected annualized rate of 2.9%. In addition, durable goods orders dropped by -1% in May, the largest decline since January. A separate report revealed the U.S. services sector expanded in June at the fastest pace in at least 4-1/2 years.
Overall, nine of the 10 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory. Shares of Pfizer (PFE +1.7%) were on the rise while health care and consumer discretionary were the best performing groups. CBS Corp (CBS +6.4%) and Walt Disney (DIS +1.5%) rose following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that Aereo is violating broadcaster rights. Materials also helped lift the market. Monsanto jumped (MON +5.3%) jumped after the company boosted its full-year forecast and announced a $10 billion share repurchase plan. Consumer staples lagged behind. General Mills (GIS -3.6%) after reporting earnings results below analyst estimates.
Treasuries advanced and a government auction of five-year notes drew higher-than-average demand. The 10-year note gained 5/32 to yield 2.56%.

Financial and Commodity-Linked Groups Led Gainers
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Financial shares were a positive influence on the major averages on Wednesday as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.78%) outpaced the Bank Index ($BKX +0.28%). The Retail Index ($RLX +0.35%) posted a modest gain while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.25%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.38%) both posted small gains and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.01%) finished flat. Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.87%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.93%) rose, but the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.34%) was a laggard as it ended sightly lower on the mostly positive session.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX +0.25%) sank below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line on the prior session.

Strength Continued Despite Fundamental Flaws
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
E Q T Midstream Partners (EQM -$1.05 or -1.08% to $96.30) is perched -6.1% off its 52-week high following today's loss with much lighter than average volume. Prior reports repeatedly cautioned members - "It is very extended from any sound base. Fundamental concerns remain after 2 consecutive sub par quarters below the +25% minimum earnings guideline."
It completed a new Public Offering of 10.75 Million common units on 5/01/14. Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 6/04/14 under the headline, "New Highs Again With Light Volume Behind Streak of Gains". It traded up as much as +92.8% since first highlighted in yellow in the 12/12/13 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point based on its 11/18/13 high plus 10 cents. The fact-based system suggests watching for technical sell signals rather than selling purely on fundmentals, yet is wise to sometimes lock in gains at the +20% level. For those watching it and still giving it the benefit of the doubt, it is well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($82.43) where a violation may trigger a technical sell signal.
It completed a new Public Offering on 7/16/13, then made gradual progress afterward. This MLP in the Natural Gas business has seen the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 20 in Jun '12 to 52 in Mar '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Y - Hitting a new 52-week high with today's volume-driven gain above its pivot point. No resistance remains due to overhead supply, and a strong finish may clinch a convincing technical buy signal. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks more than +5% above prior highs and always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow again as it found prompt support and rebounded quickly after undercutting prior highs near $43 and briefly violating its 50 DMA line with above average volume behind today's considerable early loss. Disciplined investors always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price. Keep in mind that any stock which is sold can be bought again later if strength returns.
