A batch of weak economic data included Retail Sales up by just +0.2% in July, missing analyst estimates for a gain of +0.3%. Business inventories also failed to top expectations as stockpiles were little changed in June. A separate report showed the cost of goods imported into the U.S. increased by a less than anticipated +0.2% last month. 

Stocks rebounded following comments from out of the Fed. Regional president Lockhart said recent economic performance is too mixed for the central bank to begin tapering its bond-buying program in September. 

Eight of the 10 S&P 500 sectors finished higher. Technology was the best performing group as Apple Inc (AAPL +4.75%) rose after activist investor Carl Icahn revealed a "large position" in the company. Financials also paced the advance as Citigroup Inc (C +1.71%) . The more defensive Telecommunications and Utilities sectors lagged behind with Verizon Communications Inc (VZ -1.01%) and Exelon Corp (EXC -1.07%) ending with small losses.

In fixed-income, Treasuries finished lower for a second day. The 10-year note was down 25/32 to yield 2.71% and the 30-year bond lost over a full point to yield 3.76%.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average has been consolidating near all-time highs, remaining perched above prior highs and above its 50-day moving average (DMA).

Financial stocks were a positive influence on the major averages as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.20%) rose and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.31%) followed with a smaller gain. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.38%) pulled back and was among the biggest of group decliners on Tuesday following its 3-day +15.6% sprint noted in yesterday's Industry Group Watch section (read here). Gains in the tech sector were led by the Networking Index ($NWX +1.10%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.15%) while the Internet Index ($IIX +0.43%) posted a smaller gain and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.39%) edged lower.  Energy-related shares had a slightly positive bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.26%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.36%) edged higher. The Retail Index ($RLX +0.11%) and Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.19%) inched higher.

PICTURED: The Internet Index ($IIX +0.43%) is currently advancing into new high territory. Leadership in the group (L criteria) bodes well for companies in that group and hints that investors odds are favorable in that area of the market.  At the present time, 4 of the 18 stocks included on the Featured Stocks page are hailing from the Internet group.

Ambarella Corporation (AMBA -$0.13 or -0.77% to $16.85) has been encountering resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. A technical violation triggered a sell signal on 7/30/13 as it completely negated the latest breakout and slumped back into its prior base. A prompt rebound above that important short-term average would help its outlook improve. The stock made limited headway after last shown in this FSU section on 7/17/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Technical Breakout Backed By +65% Above Average", when breaking out from a short "square box" base pattern. That summary contrasted the stock's +27.9% gain in under 5 months time, with the S&P 500 Index's +17.8% year-to-date gain, a vivid example of the potential advantages investors may gain when carefully selecting individual stocks using the fact-based investment system.

AMBA closed today's session still well above $15.04 as it was priced when first shown in this FSU section under the headline, "Volume-Driven Gain From Cup-With-High-Handle to New 52-Week High - Tuesday, March 26, 2013 ". While it may go on to form a sound new base pattern, for now its consolidation has been too brief. Keep in mind that any stock that is sold can always be bought again if strength returns. Disciplined investors do not make excuses for any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price. Investors could have better odds by pouncing on another stock staging a fresh and powerful technical breakout, rather than holding on to any lagging stock trading below its 50 DMA line. The longer a stock remains trading below its 50 DMA line the worse its outlook gets, and it may meanwhile be prone to an even deeper consolidation.

The high-ranked Electronics - Semiconductor firm recently reported strong earnings and revenues increases for the April '13 quarter, continuing its streak of strong quarterly earnings comparisons versus the year ago periods - satisfying the C criteria with increases above the +25% minimum guideline. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 51 in Dec '12 to 78 in Jun '13, a reassuring indication concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is also an unbiased indication that its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 13.9 million shares in the public float can contribute to great price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. It has been a while since the stock flashed any signs of heavy institutional buying demand.
