PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index was 28 points higher at 4,485 leaving the tech-heavy index at a new 2014 high, up +7.4% year-to-date.

The major averages rallied on Thursday after a better-than-expected jobs report. Nonfarm payrolls rose 288,000 in June, above a projected 215,000 increase. The unemployment rate fell to 6.1% last month versus the consensus expectation to remain at 6.3%. Weekly jobless claims rose 2,000 to 315,000. The market was also higher after the European Central Bank held its benchmark interest rate steady at the conclusion of its policy meeting.

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.92%) also tallied a solid gain. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.74%) led the tech sector higher while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.37%) and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.39%) posted smaller gains.  Commodity-linked groups had a slightly positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.14%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.28%), and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.39%) edged higher.

PICTURED 1: The Bank Index ($BKX +1.02%) is rebounding toward its 2014 highs. It found support near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.

Sanchez Energy Corp (SN -$0.08 or -0.22% to $36.12) is extended from its prior base. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and prior highs near $32 define support to watch on pullbacks. The high-ranked Oil & Gas firm completed a new Public Offering on 6/12/14 after it last appeared in this FSU section on 6/09/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Finished Near Session Low After Hitting new 52-Week High". 

SN has traded up as much as +18% since highlighted in the 5/22/14 mid-day report (read here). Other Featured Stocks have tallied even larger gains while, during that same period, the benchmark S&P 500 Index has risen just +4.9%. This demonstrates the benefits of following the proven fact-based system of investing. 

It reported earnings +46% on +334% sales revenues for the Mar '14 quarter. Quarterly comparisons show strong sales revenues and earnings increases well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history showed losses in the years prior to its IPO in Dec '11, yet it has done well in the earnings department since and earned the highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 147 in Jun '13 to 229 in Mar '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.
