Mixed Action After Fed Maintained Prior Course
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished mixed on Wednesday. The Dow had declined 95 points before closing down 32 at 16,880. The S&P 500 rose less than a point to 1,970. The NASDAQ gained 20 points to 4,462. The volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session volume total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE while advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 27 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 and 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.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is consolidating above prior highs and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
The major averages experienced a choppy trading session as investors weighed economic data against Fed policy. Before the open, the Commerce Department reported U.S. GDP expanded at a +4% annualized rate in the second quarter versus a projected +3% increase. Stocks moved lower amid speculation that the positive growth figure could prompt policy makers to raise interest rates sooner than anticipated. The market rebounded after the central bank announced another $10 billion reduction in its monthly bond buying program and maintained its benchmark rate unchanged.
On the earnings front, Twitter (TWTR +20%) rallied after posting results above analyst projections. Edward Lifesciences (EW +10%) rose following the heart valve maker's increased profit outlook. Amgen (AMGN +5.4%) rose as revenues topped consensus estimates. Consumer discretionary was the best performing group in the S&P 500 today. Netflix (NFLX +2.4%) rose. Utilities were down the most on the session. Shares of Exelon (EXC -1.5%) were lower.
Treasuries declined with the 10-year note falling 26/32 to yield 2.55%.

Bullish Action Despite Latest Earnings Below +25% Minimum Guideline
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Under Armour Inc (UA +$0.37 or +0.54% to $69.22) recently reported earnings +0% on +34% sales revenues for the Jun '14 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) and raising concerns, yet the company increased its guidance. It has been stubbornly holding its ground at its 52-week high following a considerable "breakaway gap" on 7/24/14 with more than 4 times average volume. A breakaway gap is the one noted exception where investors may chase a stock more than +5% above prior highs, but the risks increase the further above prior highs one buys that an ordinary pullback may prompt investors into selling based on the fact-based investment system's rule of always selling if any stock falls more than -7% from the purchase price. However, fundamental concerns were raised by its sub par earnings growth in the most current quarter.
It was last shown in this FSU section on 7/10/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Forming Handle on Cup-With-Handle Base Pattern", after highlighted in yellow with pivot point based on its 7/01/14 high in the earlier mid-day report (read here). The high-ranked Apparel - Clothing manufacturing firm's annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 637 in Dec '13 to 725 in Jun '14, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.9 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Subsequent volume-driven gains to new high territory may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal.
