S&P 500 Index Hit New Record High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished higher on Wednesday. The volume totals were mixed, slightly lower than the prior session volume totals on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 3-2 margin on the NYSE while the mix was even on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 47 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 49 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 13 of the high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The market (M criteria) uptrend recently faced pressure, however the latest expansion in 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 S&P 500 Index rose to a new all-time high as it gained 3 points to 1,987.
The NASDAQ rose 17 points to 4,473. The Dow declined 26 points to 17,086. A large batch of earnings results helped lift the market and pushed geopolitical concerns to the back burner. Overall, sectors finished mixed. Health care and materials were among the best performing groups. Biogen (BIIB +11.17%) and Intuitive Surgical (ISRG +17.71%) rallied after both companies posted better-than-expected earnings results. Shares of Dow Chemical (DOW +3.04%) gained as the company's second-quarter sales topped analyst estimates amid growth in all of its operating segments.
Gains in technology added to the upside. Apple (AAPL +2.61%) signaled that the long wait for new products is nearing an end which pushed its shares up and overshadowed a smaller-than-expected rise in quarterly revenue. Facebook (FB +2.92%) rose ahead of its profit tally after the close. Industrials limited the session's gains and weighed on the Dow. Boeing (BA -2.34%) sank after posting lower-than-anticipated revenue. Consumer discretionary also declined as Time Warner (TWX -2.90%) fell.
Treasuries declined for the first time in three days. The 10-year note was off 1/32 to yield 2.47%. The 30-year bond fell 7/32 to yield 3.26%.

Biotech, Retail, and Financial Indexes Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +2.22%) was a standout gainer thanks to strong earnings from some key players in the group, meanwhile weakness in the rest of the tech sector created a drag on the market as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.29%) and the Networking Index ($NWX -2.07%) both lost ground. The Retail Index ($RLX +0.33%) posted a modest gain and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.33%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.75%) also were positive influences. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.48%) edged lower while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.73%) outpaced the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.17%).
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +2.22%) is rallying from support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

50-Day Moving Average Line Acted as Recent Resistance
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Amtrust Financial Svcs (AFSI +$0.11 or +0.27% to $41.41) is still sputtering below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which recently acted as a resistance level. Its Relative Strength rating is right at the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.6 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days. Among concerns, we previously noted that the number of top-rated funds owning an interest has been reported lower. For now it faces resistance due to overhead supply up through the $47 level which may hinder its ability to rally. A convincing rebound above its 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve.
The high-ranked Insurance - Property/Casualty/Title firm stalled and encountered distributional pressure soon after rising from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base. It was highlighted in yellow in the 5/21/14 mid-day report (read here) and the pivot point cited was based on its 5/13/14 high plus 10 cents. AFSI was last shown in this FSU section on 7/01/14 with detailed analysis and annotated graphs under the headline, "Found Support Near 50-Day Average and Relative Strength Slightly Improved", when a prompt rebound above the 50-day moving average (DMA) line helped its outlook improve. Disciplined investors always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price.
It reported earnings +68% on +89% sales revenues for the quarter ended Mar '14 quarter versus the year ago period, its 7th consecutive comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). It has a great annual earnings (A criteria) history and it has earned an impressive 95 Earnings Per Share rating, well above the 80+ minimum rating for buy candidates.

G - Encountered resistance at its 50 DMA line, and a rebound above that important short-term average is needed for its outlook to improve. A subsequent violation of its recent low ($39.86 on 7/10/14) would raise more serious concerns and trigger more worrisome sell signals. Faces resistance due to overhead supply up through the $46 area.
