Major Averages Edged Higher Again
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks finished higher on Monday. The Dow was up 16 points to 18533. The S&P 500 gained 5 points to 2166 and the Nasdaq Composite added 26 points to 5055. The benchmark S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average both remain perched at record highs. Big gains for the major indices were noted in prior commentaries and that bullish action signaled a new "confirmed uptrend" for the market (M criteria). Volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE but lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 37 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 30 on the prior session. New 52-week highs solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.

PICTURED: The 2-year graph of the S&P 400 Mid Cap Index shows that last week it touched a new record high. Volume totals have been light behind the recent gains, however, not indicative of overwhelming institutional buying demand.

See the Featured Stocks Page which now lists a few noteworthy candidates that have made headway.

The Dow advanced for a seventh session amid a rally in Technology shares as investors digested an optimistic start to second-quarter earnings season. On the data front, the NAHB survey revealed housing market sentiment declined in July, from a five-month high in June. In M&A news, British chipmaker ARM Holdings (ARMH +40.55) surged after agreeing to a $32 billion takeover offer from Japan’s SoftBank Corp. (SFTBY -7.81%)

Five of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 finished positive on the session. Technology stocks outperformed as Facebook (FB +2.15%) and Apple (AAPL +1.06%) rose. Shares of Alphabet (GOOGL +2.39%) helped to advance the tech space. In earnings, Bank of America (BAC +3.29%) rose as the bank beat estimates on the top and bottom line. Yahoo! (YHOO +0.61%) edged higher ahead of its scheduled release after the closing bell. Hasbro (HAS -6.64%) was a notable decliner after reporting a slowdown in sales of “boy-oriented” toys.

Treasuries declined with the benchmark 10-year note down 11/32 to yield 1.58%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude fell 1.4% to $45.33/barrel. COMEX gold ticked up 0.2% to $1329.40/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar weakened against the euro and British pound.

Winning Streak Leaves Leader Extended From Prior Base Pattern
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
N V 5 Global Inc (NVEE +$0.21 or +0.66% to $31.99) is perched at a new all-time high with above average volume behind its 10th gain in an impressive streak of gains into new high territory. No resistance due to overhead supply, but it is extended more than +5% above its prior high or pivot point. Disciplined investors avoid chasing extended stocks. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($27.88) and recent lows in the $24-25 area define near-term support to watch.

NVEE was last shown in this FSU section on 6/30/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Perched Near Highs After Rebound Above 50-Day Average". It completed a new Public Offering on 5/13/16. Members were cautioned - "Such offerings often hinder near-term price progress yet help companies to attract more institutional owners (I criteria). Remember that any stock that was previously sold can be bought again when strength returns."

The high-ranked Commercial Services - Consulting firm will announce its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016 on Thursday, August 4, 2016, following the close of the markets. It reported earnings +39% on +54% sales revenues for the Mar '16 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record. It reported earnings +32% on +47% sales revenues for the Dec '15 quarter and prior quarterly earnings comparisons have been mostly above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its strong annual earnings (A criteria) history helps it match the fundamental guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 13 in Mar '15 to to 130 in Jun '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It completed a new Public Offering on 5/22/15. NVEE was first highlighted with a pivot point based on its 12/02/15 high in the 3/14/16 mid-day report (read here) and then finished strong and triggered a technical buy signal while rising from an 8-month double bottom base with +142% above average volume.
