Major Averages Finished Week on the Rise With Positive Breadth
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined -0.6% and the S&P 500 Index fell -0.1%. The Nasdaq Composite Index managed to gain +0.7% this week, its second-straight weekly advance. Stocks finished with minor gains in a volatile trading session on Friday. The volume was reported higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a reassuring sign that the institutional crowd did some buying. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 7-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 50 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from Thursday's total of 26 stocks. New 52-week highs expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 10 of the 15 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 advanced more than 18 points to 4397 on Friday. The tech-heavy index is up +5.3% year-to-date. It tallied a 2nd consecutive weekly gain for new 2014 highs.
Equities spent the day toggling between gains and losses as investors digested economic data and profit tallies. The University of Michigan's consumer confidence survey revealed sentiment improved more than anticipated in June to the best level since April. Earnings results were mixed. DuPont (DD -3.6%) fell, pacing a retreat in the materials sector, after the company cut its full-year profit outlook. On the upside, shares of Nike (NKE +1.6%) and Finish Line (FINL +1.3%) rose after both companies posted earnings above analyst expectations.
Overall, seven of the 10 S&P 500 sectors advanced. Technology and utilities were the best performing groups as Apple (AAPL +1.1%) and Duke Energy (DUK +0.7%) rose. Energy and health care stocks declined including Exxon Mobil (XOM -0.7%) and Merck (MRK -1.5%).
Treasuries finished little changed. The 10-year note was off 1/32 to yield 2.53%.

Perched At High With No Resistance Remaining Due to Overhead Supply
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Biotauto Hldgs Ltd Ads (BITA +$0.02 +0.04% to $46.26) highlighted in yellow in the 6/26/14 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on the 3/06/14 high plus 10 cents while noted - "A gain above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume could trigger a technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong with respect to the C and A criteria as it reported earnings +100% on +47% sales revenues for the Mar '14 quarter since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 1/27/14.
Now it faces little overhead supply to act as resistance. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line acted as support during its recent consolidation before rebounding.
BITA was last shown in this FSU section on 1/08/14 with an annotated graphs under the headline," Finished Strong and Challenged Pivot Point After Highlighted in Mid-Day Report". Members were previously - "Like any stock that is dropped from the Featured Stocks list, if fundamentals remain strong while a new base forms, and strength eventually returns, it may one day return to the Featured Stocks list." It was first highlighted in the 8/07/13 mid-day report in yellow at $12.01 with the prior pivot point based on its 5/08/13 high plus 10 cents (read here).
This China-based Internet-Content firm's quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 15.4 million shares in the public float can contribute to great volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. There are 96 top-rated mutual funds as of Mar '14 owning an interest in the company, up from 25 in Jun '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Y - Churned above average volume today while hovering near its 52-week high. A considerable volume-driven gain above its pivot point on 6/23/14 triggered a technical buy signal. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. 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.

G - Hit a new 52-week high today but it erased most of its gain and ended near the session low while trading above average volume, a sign of distributional pressure termed "churning". Previously noted - "It is extended from its prior base. Recent lows in the $39-40 area and its 50 DMA line coincide defining important near-term support to watch. Do not be confused by the 2:1 share split effective 6/20/14 (Featured Price, Pivot Point, and Max Buy level have been adjusted accordingly)."
