Major Averages Ended Mostly Higher While Breadth Was Negative
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks were up on Monday’s session. The Dow gained 87 points to 16,448. The S&P 500 rose 6 points to 1,869. The NASDAQ recovered from a 61 point decline to close down a point at 4,074. The volume total rose versus the prior session on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. Decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the NYSE while decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 16 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 11 stocks on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE while new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 3 of the 4 of the high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page posted a gain. The setback on Friday left investors still waiting for more significant gains from the major indices backed by heavier volume, action which would be a meaningful improvement that more convincingly argues the Market (M criteria) is shifting back to a confirmed uptrend. Meanwhile, caution is still warranted. Keep in mind that any sustained and meaningful market advance requires leadership - a healthy crop of stocks hitting new 52-week highs.
The major averages were mostly higher as M&A news in the health care sector offset weakness in financials. Pfizer (PFE +4.2%) amid reports the drug maker is attempting to renew takeover talks with AstraZeneca. Bank of America (BAC -6.2%) after suspending its dividend and buyback due to an error in calculating its capital ratios.
On the economic front, a report showed pending home sales unexpectedly rose 3.4% in March. Among earnings releases, Corning (GLW +1.1%) after quarterly results topped consensus estimates. Investors also kept an eye on Eastern Europe as the U.S. and European Union announced additional sanctions against Russia over the conflict in Ukraine.
Seven of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 were up. Telecom and technology rose the most on the session. AT&T (T +1.7%). Apple (AAPL +3.9%) to counter Facebook (FB +2.7%). Materials were the worst performing group. Shares of Newmont Mining (NEM -6.7%).
Treasuries declined with the 10-year note off 9/32 to yield 2.70%.

Stength Contiunues; Earnings Below +25% Minimum Guideline for a 2nd Quarter
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
E Q T Midstream Partners (EQM -$0.01 or -0.01% to $75.80) has been stubbornly holding its ground and making gradual progress. It reported earnings +8% on +41% sales revenues for the Mar '14 quarter, a 2nd consecutive quarterly comparison below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($69.01 now) defines near-term support where a subsequent violation may trigger a technical sell signal.
Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 4/09/14 under the headline, "Technical Strength Continues Despite Fundamental Concerns". It traded up as much as +46.27% since first highlighted in yellow in the 12/12/13 mid-day report (read here) with new pivot point cited based on its 11/18/13 high plus 10 cents. The fact-based system suggests watching for technical sell signals rather than selling purely on fundmentals, yet is wise to sometimes lock in gains at the +20% level. For those watching it and still giving it the benefit of the doubt, its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines support for the nearc term, while subsequent violations may trigger more worrisome technical sell signals.
It completed a new Public Offering on 7/16/13, then made gradual progress afterward. This MLP in the Natural Gas business has seen the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 20 in Jun '12 to 50 in Mar '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Most Recent Note - 4/24/2014 6:10:00 PM
Y - Edged higher today for its 8th consecutive small gain on below average volume. Found support near its 50 DMA line and prior highs in the $57 area recently. More damaging losses below its recent low ($55.27 on 4/14/14) would raise greater concerns.

G- Posted a gain today with higher volume and it is perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high. The recent low ($66.03 on 4/07/14) defines important near-term support below the 50 DMA line where further deterioration would raise greater concerns.
