S&P 500 Index Hits Record High With Late-Afternoon Rally
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages extended their gains in the afternoon and finished firmly in positive territory following the Fed's policy meeting. The volume was reported higher than the prior session total on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE, a sign of greater institutional buying demand. Advancers led decliners by nearly a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by about a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 48 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, matching the total of 48 stocks on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 6 of the 10 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The S&P 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average recently surged into new high territory with healthy leadership (new 52-week highs) sending a reassuring signal that the market direction (M criteria) is in a "confirmed uptrend". Any new buying efforts should be selective and focused in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index advanced 15 points to a new all-time high of 1,956. The benchmark index is up +5.88% year-to-date.
The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 26 points to 4,362. The Dow rose 98 points to 16,906. As expected, the central bank trimmed its monthly asset purchases by another $10 billion to $35 billion. The market added to its advance following comments from Chair Janet Yellen. At a press conference, Yellen said the economy is recovering in the current quarter and should continue to improve at a moderate pace.
On the earnings front, Adobe (ADBE +8.2%) after posting quarterly results above analyst projections. FedEx (FDX +6.16%) as its profits topped consensus estimates. Shares of ConAgra (CAG -7.3%) following its reduced outlook for the current quarter.
All 10 sectors in the S&P 500 were up on the session. Utilities and materials were the best performing groups. Duke Energy (DUK +2.4%) was higher. Shares of Air Products (APD +7.5%) after the industrial gas maker appointed a new Chairman and CEO. Amazon.com (AMZN +2.7%) rose after the company introduced a new smartphone to challenge Apple's (AAPL +0.11%) iPhone.
Treasuries rose on the session. Benchmark 10-year notes gained 17/32 to yield 2.59%.

Found Support Above Prior Highs During Consolidation
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Iconix Brand Group Inc (ICON +$0.23 or +0.54% to $43.87) has made little headway following its recent technical breakout. It found support with a gain on heavy volume on 6/17/14 while consolidating above prior highs in the $43-42 area defining initial support to watch. The stock was last shown in this FSU section on 6/05/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Gain With Above Average Volume an Encouraging Sign "as it hit new all-time highs with gains backed by above average volume and triggered a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. It had stalled after rallying above prior high in the $42 area before, and the gain through $43 and $44 marked its first volume-backed gain above its previously cited pivot point.
Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines near-term support below its prior highs. A violation of that short-term average or would raise serious concerns and trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks extended more than +5% above their pivot point, and they always sell if any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price. Keep in mind that 3 out of 4 stocks tend to move in the same direction of the major averages (M criteria) and the broader market is strong.
It reported earnings +33% on +11% sales revenues for the Mar '14 quarter, continuing its streak of earning increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Fundamentals remain strong for the high-ranked Apparel - Clothing Manufacturing firm. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been steady. It has earned a 95 Earnings Per Share Rating (EPS) which suggests that its recent earnings growth history has been stellar. Its Relative Strength rating is 85, above the 80+ minimum rank for buy candidates under the fact-based system. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares fell from 359 in Sep '13 to 345 in Mar '14, not a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

G - Rebounded from early lows back into positive territory. On the prior session its 50 DMA line violation triggered a technical sell signal as it suffered a damaging loss backed by heavy volume amid widespread losses in the industry group. Only a prompt rebound above its 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve. Disciplined investors limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price.
