Major Averages Edge Lower With Lighter Volume Totals

Stocks traded in a narrow range throughout the session as stronger-than-expected U.S. services sector growth failed to lift equities.  The major averages finished little changed on Monday's session while the volume totals reported lighter than the prior session totals on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. Advancers led decliners by 7-5 on the Nasdaq exchange, but decliners outnumbered advancers by nearly a 3-2 margin on the NYSE.  There were 71 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 75 stocks. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs contracted yet still solidly and outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The new lows total was in the single digits on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 11 of the 16 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

  

Seven of the 10 sectors on the S&P ended lower, led by declines in utility stocks. Shares of NextEra Energy Inc (NEE -0.98%). On the earnings front, Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRKB +0.35%) edged higher after the company posted quarterly results ahead of analysts' estimates. Also on the upside, Tyson Foods Inc (TSN +4.14%) advanced as the company reported earnings and revenues ahead of expectations. In other news, shares of Apple (AAPL +1.49%) after the White House overturned an international trade ruling that prevented the company from selling older versions of the iPhone and iPad.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries ended lower along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was down 5/16 of a point to yield 2.64% and the 30-year bond was off 25/32 to yield 3.74%.

The market (M criteria) has flashed substantial strength and leadership.  Now in a confirmed rally, odds are considered favorable for investors' success with new buying efforts.  Investors should be disciplined and selective while looking to be proactive and focused exclusively on the individual leaders best matching the winning models of the fact-based investment system.  Study the companies on the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks Page - a page showing the most action-worthy candidates' latest notes and links to additional resources including detailed analysis with data-packed graphs which are annotated by a Certified expert.  The Premium Member Homepage - includes "dynamic archives" to all prior pay reports published.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up +19.14% year-to-date and holding its ground at all-time highs despite mild distributional pressure in recent weeks. The Blue Chip Index has rallied +25.19% from its November 16, 2012 low.

Healthcare, Networking, and Internet Indexes Rose

The Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.93%) was among the session's best gaining groups while the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.48%) took away from defensively positioned investors. Energy-related shares had a slightly negative bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.44%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.31%) edged lower. As for the influential financial groups, the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.14%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.36%) both edged lower. The Retail Index ($RLX +0.08%) held its ground.  The Networking Index ($NWX +0.80%) and the Internet Index ($IIX +0.38%) led the tech sector with modest gains, meanwhile the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.07%) finished flat and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.26%) edged lower.

PICTURED: The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.07%) is perched near its 2013 high.

Follow Through Gains Backed By Volume

Proto Labs Inc (PRLB +$1.91 or +2.78% to $70.50) rallied with +77% above average volume as it powered further above its pivot point for yet another new 52-week high, a confirming gain following last week's new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines important support just below recent lows in the $61 area. Disciplined investors always limit losses by selling if any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price. Its small supply of only 18.9 million shares (S criteria) in the publicly traded float is ideal, yet it can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

The high-ranked Electronic - Parts firm was last shown in this FSU section with an annotated graph on 7/15/13 under the headline, "Volume Totals Cooling During Tight Consolidation Near Highs". PRLB has traded up +41% from $49.97 when first featured in yellow in the 4/10/13 mid-day report (read here).  Earnings were +50% on +33% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter, continuing its strong growth trend satisfying the C criteria and helping it earn a very high 98 Earnings Per Share rank. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 131 in Jun '12 to 218 in Jun '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria.

Y - Do not be confused by 3:1 share split impacting prices today (pivot point, max buy price have been adjusted accordingly). It rallied above its 50 DMA line with a 3rd consecutive volume-driven gain but has not triggered a proper technical buy signal since returning to the Featured Stocks list highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 6/17/13 high plus 10 cents in Wednesday's mid-day report (read here) with caution - "It faces some resistance and needs additional volume-driven gains to trigger a proper new technical buy signal. Reported earnings +37% on +24% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter. Showing resilience since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/10/13 due to technical weakness."
