Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 Indexes Halt Slide
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks gained ground on Tuesday. The volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 10 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 a total of 6 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE while new highs outnumbered new lows on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 13 of the 17 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The market (M criteria) clearly signaled that the major averages are in a "correction" based on recent technical damage. Individual holdings should be closely monitored for any worrisome technical sell signals. This is precisely how the fact-based system helps investors avoid serious setbacks and raise cash levels during market downdrafts. Historic studies suggest that no new buying efforts should be made during market corrections.

The S&P 500 Index gained over 6 points to 1,652 and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 24 points to 3,613 as both indices snapped four-day losing streaks. The Dow finished virtually unchanged at 15,002.

A batch of encouraging retail earnings reports was in focus. Best Buy (BBY +13.24%) after posting its largest quarterly profit in more than two years and Urban Outfitters Inc(URBN +8.19%) topped earnings estimates. The J.C. Penney Co Inc(JCP +5.98%) rose as the company's sales slide slowed and TJX Cos. (TJX +6.88%) rallied after boosting its 2013 profit outlook. Home Depot (HD -1.22%) also bested profit forecasts, but lost ground as its upwardly revised full-year outlook fell short of some analyst expectations.

Overall, every sector finished in positive territory. Financials paced the advance as Citigroup Inc (C +1.20%) and Bank of America Corp (BAC +0.99%) rose. Utilities and Energy were also among the best performing groups as Duke Energy Corp (DUK +0.69%) and Phillips 66 (PSX +3.1%).

Now the spotlight turns to tomorrow’s FOMC minutes as investors look for indications of when the Fed may start tapering its stimulus measures.

In fixed-income, Treasury prices rose for the first time in four sessions. The 10-year note was up 18/32 to yield 2.81% and the 30-year bond gained 41/32 to yield 3.86%.

Financial, Tech, Retail, and Defensive Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Financial shares were an important positive influence on the major averages as the Bank Index ($BKX +1.03%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.40%) both posted gains. The Retail Index ($RLX +1.20%) rose, and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.39%) led the tech sector while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.55%), Internet Index ($IIX +0.65%), and Networking Index ($NWX +0.19%) each posted smaller gains. Energy-related shares had a positive bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.40%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.63%) both rose. Defensive shares also gained ground as the Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.01%) ratcheted higher while the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +3.32%) was a standout gainer.

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX +1.20%) is consolidating near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which recently acted as support.

Consolidating Well Above Support Areas
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Yandex (YNDX +$0.39 or +1.20% to $32.77) is consolidating just -5.8% off its 52-week high hit last week. It is well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and above prior highs in the $29 area defining important near-term support to watch. It last appeared in the FSU section on 7/26/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Powering to New High Territory With Volume Driven Gains". It is extended from its previous base. Disciplined investors do not chase stocks more than +5% above their pivot point. Doing so increases the chance that an ordinary pullback may trigger the strict sell rules which limit losses when any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

The company has shown strong quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases through Jun '13 versus the year ago periods. It has earned high ranks and maintained a strong quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 276 in Sep '12 to 431 in Jun '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The Internet - Content group has recently shown leadership and it currently has the highest possible A+ Group Relative Strength Rating, a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria of the fact-based investment system.
