Stocks finished flat on Monday. The Dow rose 22 points to 16,982. The S&P 500 closed virtually unchanged at 1,978. The NASDAQ was down 4 points to 4,444. The volume totals were higher than the prior session volume totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 7-5 margin on the NYSE and 9-5 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership contracted as there were 21 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, versus the prior session total of 26 stocks. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 9 of the 14 of the high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The market (M criteria) uptrend recently faced pressure, however a healthy level of leadership has been reassuring.  Disciplined investors limit losses and reduce market exposure during rough market periods by selling any stocks which fall more than -7% from their purchase price.

There was no decisiveness among various industry groups on Monday as the Bank Index ($BKX -0.70%) lost ground while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.16%) and the Retail Index ($RLX +0.19%) eked out small gains. Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.57%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.22%) both edged lower while the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.59%) posted a modest gain. The Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.54%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.11%) both finished in slightly in the red while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.19%) managed a tiny gain.

PICTURED: The  Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.16%) is consolidating above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

Trinity Industries Inc (TRN -$0.32 or -0.71% to $45.03) is perched within close striking distance of a new 52-week high. It is extended from its prior base, and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($42.95) defines near-term support to watch. Subsequent deterioration below that important short-term average would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals.

Keep in mind that volume and volatility often increase near earnings news and it is due to report Jun '14 quarterly results after the close on Tuesday. It has earned high ranks and reported earnings +213% on +57% sales revenues for the Mar '14 quarter. Prior quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) have improved following a downturn in FY '08-10.

The high-ranked Transportation - Equipment Manufacturing firm was last shown in this FSU section on 7/08/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Bullish Up/Down Volume and Increasing Institutional Ownership". TRN traded up as much as +22.59% since first highlighted in yellow in the 4/30/14 mid-day report report (read here). Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks extended more than +5% above prior highs and they always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 455 in Sep '13 to 498 in Jun '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its supply of shares outstanding (S criteria) was doubled as a 2:1 split was effective as of 6/20/14.
