Major Averages Pulled Back With New Lows Outnumbering New Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished lower on Tuesday. The Dow declined 181 points 17919. The S&P 500 was off 9 points to 2119. The NASDAQ lost 10 points to close at 5208. Volume totals were reported mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 57 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 69 stocks. The total number of new 52-week lows contracted but still outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 6 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.
The Nasdaq Composite Index and other major averages recently rallied to new highs or near their record highs. Coupling the indices' improvement with an expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new highs), the latest market (M criteria) action has shown investors reassuring proof that the institutional crowd has a healthy appetite for buying stocks.
Disciplined investors know to buy only the strongest stocks meeting all of the key fundamental and technical criteria. New matches with the fact-based investment system's strict guidelines will be added to the Featured Stocks Page as market action dictates.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Induistrial Average fell below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line on Tuesday with a loss on higher volume.
The major averages retreated as investors weighed mostly disappointing earnings results from this morning. IBM (IBM -5.86%) tumbled after reporting declining sales for a 13th straight quarter. United Technologies (UTX -7.03%) fell after cutting forward guidance and missing revenue targets. Harley Davison (HOG +4.97%) rose after beating revenue expectations. Apple (AAPL -1.0%) fell while Microsoft (MSFT +0.77%) rose in anticipation of their releases. In other news, Qualcomm (QCOM +2.12%) rose on news that the company may call for a strategic review.
Nine of the ten sectors in the S&P 500 declined with Telecom leading the losses. Verizon (VZ -2.35%) fell on lower-than-expected revenue to pace the group. In sympathy with rising oil prices, energy was the only sector to finish higher. Southwest Energy (SWN +3.3%) while Halliburton (HAL +2.80%) helped to lead the gains.
Treasuries strengthened across the curve on Tuesday. The benchmark U.S. 10-year gained 10/32 to yield 2.336%.
Commodities were mixed. WTI crude climbed 0.4% to $50.36/barrel ahead of this afternoon’s inventory report. Gold continues to extend losses, falling 0.8% to $1098.00/ounce. The dollar index is lost 0.7% with the euro strengthening 1.0% against the greenback to $109.35/EUR.

Gold & Silver Index Bounced and Oil Services Index Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.83%) was a standout gainer as it bounced back from a big -10.27% loss on Monday's session. The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.81%) and the Retail Index ($RLX -0.34%) both weighed on the major averages as they fell on Tuesday, meanwhile the Bank Index ($BKX -0.01%) finished flat. The Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.01%) lost ground, however the Networking Index ($NWX +0.17%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.05%) both eked out tiny gains. The Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.73%) rose while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.02%) finished flat.
PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.05%) is still sputtering below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.

Wedging to New Highs After Brief Consolidation
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Palo Alto Networks (PANW +$2.04 or +1.07% to $192.07) wedged further into new high territory with today's gain lacking great volume conviction, getting more extended from any sound base. The Computer Software - Security firm found support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line during its consolidation since last shown in this FSU section with annotated graphs on 6/26/15 under the headline, "Higher Volume Loss a Sign of Distributional Pressure". The recent low ($167.82 on 7/07/15) and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($172.55) define important near-term chart support areas to watch, levels where subsequent violations would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals.
Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks more than +5% above their pivot point or prior highs. PANW has traded up as much as +153.7% since first highlighted at $75.95 in yellow back on May 29, 2014 when shown breaking out of a "double bottom" base pattern.
PANW reported earnings +109% on +55% sales revenues for the Apr '15 quarter, its 4th consecutive comparison with strong sales revenues increases and earnings above the +25% minimum guideline satisfying the C criteria. Sequentially, it has shown encouraging acceleration with earnings increases of +57%, +88%, +90%, and +109% in the Jul '14, Oct '14, Jan '15 and Apr '15 quarters, respectively, versus the year ago periods. It has an Earnings Per Share (EPS) Rating of 99, the highest possible rating. It has a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 246 in Jun '13 to 787 in Jun '15, a very reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply (S criteria) of 69.4 million shares in the public float is another favorable characteristic.

Y - Pulling back quietly today after recent gains challenging its 52-week high lacked great volume conviction. A new pivot point was recently cited based on its 5/28/15 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Damaging losses below the recent low ($219.56 on 6/29/15) would raise concerns and trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal.
