Dow Hit New High as Indices Rose With Better Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages were higher on Monday. Volume on the session was higher than the prior session volume totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating institutional accumulation. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 36 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 prior session total of 16 stocks. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 11 of the 14 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The market (M criteria) uptrend clearly came under pressure last week while leadership quickly evaporated. Any new buying efforts should be selective and focused in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index found support near its prior highs and gained 25 points to close at 4,440.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average touched a new all-time high and finished up 112 points, climbing back above 17,000 to finish at 17,055 as the major averages rebounded from last week's retreat. Positive earnings and M&A news inspired the buying efforts. Shares of Citigroup (C +3.02%) rose after quarterly profits topped consensus estimates. The bank also announced it would pay $7 billion to settle a government probe related to sales of mortgage-backed securities before the financial crisis. URS Corp (URS +12.26%) rallied after agreeing to be acquired by Aecom Technology (ACM +10.14%) for $4 billion. Mylan (MYL +2.1%) climbed after saying it would purchase Abbott Labs' (ABT +1.26%) generic drug business for $5.3 billion.
Nine of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 were up on the session. Energy and technology were the best performing groups. Exxon (XOM +0.92%) and Apple (AAPL +1.29%) were higher. Utilities sat out the advance with an index of companies in the S&P 500 down more than -1%. Shares of Exelon (EXC -2.63%) contributed the most to the group's decline.
Treasuries were lower to snap a five-day winning streak. Benchmark 10-year notes were down 8/32 to yield 2.55%.

Financial, Retail, and Energy-Related Indexes Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.61%) tallied a small gain and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.35%) and Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.47%) both edged higher while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.23%) finished with a small loss. Commodity linked groups were mixed as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.76%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.95%) rose while the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.60%) was a standout decliner.

Slump Into Prior Base Negated Recent Breakout
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Buffalo Wild Wings Inc (BWLD +$0.43 or +0.28% to $156.51) stalled after reaching new highs, and since then it has encountered distributional pressure. Friday's close below the prior high close ($156.35 on 3/21/14) raised greater concerns as it completely negated the recent technical breakout. Its latest gains have come with light volume.
A volume-driven gain on 6/23/14 triggered a technical buy signal shortly after last shown in this FSU section on 6/19/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Perched Near Highs With Strong Fundamentals". The pivot point cited was based on its 3/21/14 high plus 10 cents as it was highlighted in yellow in the 6/19/14 mid-day report (read here). It reported earnings +71% on +21% sales revenues for the Mar '14 quarter, well above the +25% minimum earnings (C criteria) guideline, an improvement after a slightly sub par quarter. It found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line then rebounded since noted with caution in the 4/03/14 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +24% on +12% sales revenues for the Dec '13 quarter."
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 333 in Sep '13 to 404 in Jun '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of only 18.9 million shares (S criteria) outstanding can contribute to great price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

G - Hitting another new 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive gain, getting more extended from its prior base. Managed a "positive reversal" on 7/10/14 after trading down considerably, likely prompting disciplined investors to sell if it fell more than -7% from their purchase price. Any stock which is sold can be bought back later if strength returns, however rule number one is to always limit losses while they are small.

Y - Quarterly earnings comparisons have been above the +25% guideline (C criteria) through Mar '14 and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong. It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point based on its 7/01/14 high in the earlier mid-day report (read here) trading near its 52-week high, forming a handle on the right side of a 17-week cup-with-handle base. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and new annotated graphs.
