Indices Small Posted Gains With Better Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks rallied on Wednesday's session. Volume totals were slightly higher on both major exchanges, a sign of better institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancing issues beat decliners by 3-1 on the NYSE and 2-1 on the NASDAQ exchange. There were 26 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 19 stocks. New 52-week highs made a meaningful improvement and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 10 of the 11 of the high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The market (M criteria) deterioration recently earned the label of a "correction" as the technical damage became significant to chart readers and leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) waned. 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 1: The S&P 500 Index climbed 13 points or +0.67% to 1,946 on Day 4 of its new rally effort.
Stocks finished higher on Wednesday. The Dow rose 91 points to 16,651. With the gain, the blue chip index moved back into positive territory for the year, up 0.5%. The NASDAQ Composite increased 45 points to 4,434.
The major averages advanced as weaker-than-expected retail sales data prompted speculation that the Fed will maintain its accommodative interest rate policy. Before the open, the Commerce Department reported retail sales were unchanged in July, below a projected 0.2% increase. Stocks also rose as investors continued to monitor events in Ukraine and the Middle East.
On the earnings front, Macy's (M -5.5%) fell as profits missed analyst projections. Kohl's (KSS -1.5%) fell and Wal-Mart (WMT -0.3%) slipped in sympathy ahead of their scheduled quarterly results tomorrow. Deere (DE -2.3%) fell after lowering its full-year forecast.
Nine of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 were up on the session led by health care. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ +1.1%). Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX +3.9%) rose after receiving approval in Europe for its cystic fibrosis treatment. Tech also paced the market higher with Apple (AAPL +1.3%) rising. Telecom was the lone sector lower. CenturyLink (CTL -0.7%).
Treasuries rose with the 10-year note up 10/32 to yield 2.41%.

Tech, and Financial Shares Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +2.15%) led the tech sector higher while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.92%) and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.37%) posted smaller gains. Financial shares helped to underpin the major averages' gains as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.29%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.61%) rose. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.02%) and the Retail Index ($RLX +0.08%) finished flat. Energy-related shares had a slightly positive bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.13%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.24%) rose.

Submit Your Request for a Featured Stock Update
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Market conditions (the M criteria) are challenging at times. There are few stocks included on the Featured Stocks list and none of the companies need additional review in detail with annotated graphs. At times like these we have an opportunity to look back and review previously featured stocks which were dropped, which can serve as an educational review of the investment system's tactics and a reminder that high-ranked leaders eventually fall out of favor. If you wish to request for a specific stock to receive more detailed coverage in this section please use the inquiry form to submit your request. Thank you! |

Y - Gapped up today for a volume-driven gain and hit a new 52-week high. Volume should be at least +40% above average behind gains above a stock's pivot point during a market rally (M criteria) to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Found support at its 50 DMA line. That important short-term average and its recent low ($76.86 on 8/01/14) define important near-term support.
