Breadth Positive As Major Averages Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks climbed higher on Tuesday. The Dow was up 228 points to 16599. The S&P 500 advanced 25 points to 1978. The NASDAQ jumped 54 to 4860. The volume totals were reported mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as 18 stocks made it onto the BreakOuts Page, up from 14 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made a new 52-week high on the prior session. There were gains for 4 of the 5 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page. The total number of new 52-week lows again outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index faces near-term resistance at its prior lows and its 50-day and 200-day moving average lines. Last Tuesday's follow-through day marked the beginning of a new "confirmed rally". Repeatedly, members have been reminded that at least 2 of the 3 major indices should be trading above their respective 200-day moving average (DMA) lines in order for a market environment to be considered technically "healthy". A lot of recovery work must be done to get the indices back into healthy shape, and that improvement could require some considerable time and patience.
New buying efforts may only be considered in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system. Disciplined investors always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price.
The major averages finished firmly higher ahead of this week’s Federal Reserve meeting. The most recent data shows that traders are pricing in a 28% chance that the Fed will raise interest rates on Thursday. In economic news, retail sales came in slightly lower than expected in August, but July’s numbers were revised higher. A separate release showed that Industrials production declined 0.4% in the month.
All ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished in the green with industrials and financial stocks leading the way. United Parcel Service (UPS +3.7%) paced the industrials while Bank of America (BAC +2.3%) rose as higher bond yields helped financials. M&A was back in play with Gray Television (GTN +13.3%) jumping after announcing the acquisition of television and radio stations from Schurz Communications.
Treasuries sold-off as the session progressed. The benchmark U.S. 10-year note was off 26/32 to yield 2.27 while the 30-year bond declined 1 & 29/32 to yield 3.05%.
Commodities were mixed. WTI crude rebounded 1.5% to $44.66/barrel. COMEX gold slid 0.3% to $1104.10/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar index was higher with strength against the euro and yen.

Quiet Gain For Second Best Close Ever
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Luxoft Holding Inc Cl A (LXFT +$1.67 or +2.57% to $66.70) is consolidating within close striking distance of its 52-week high. It faces little resistances due to overhead supply, however, its deep "V" shaped consolidation is not recognized as a sound base. It found prompt support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line on 8/24/15 after violating its 50 DMA line.
It was last shown in this FSU section on 9/08/15 with an annotated graph under the headline, " Approaching Highs With Solid Gain on Higher Volume ". It had triggered technical sell signals with damaging volume-driven losses as it sank deep into the prior base on 8/24/15 amid broad-based market weakness (M criteria). The prompt rebound above its 50 DMA line was a sign of institutional support that helped its outlook improve.
LXFT was first highlighted in yellow with a pivot point cited based on its 4/23/15 high plus 10 cents in the 5/26/15 mid-day report (read here). The high-ranked Computer Software firm reported earnings +36% on +32% sales revenues for the Jun '15 quarter, continuing its strong quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) matching the guidelines of the fact-based investment system. Sales revenues growth has been strong while it reported earnings +32%, +23%, +50%, and +28% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '14 and Mar '15 quarters versus the year ago periods.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 185 in Jun '14 to 266 in Jun '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has earned a Timeliness Rating of A. Its small supply of only 30.2 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
