For the shortened trading week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained +0.8%, the S&P 500 Index was up +1.4% and the Nasdaq Composite Index advanced +1.9%. The major averages finished little changed on Friday's session. The volume totals were reported slightly higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 3-2 margin on the NYSE, however decliners slightly outnumbered advancers on the Nasdaq exchange.  There were 37 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 a total of 39 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 7 of the 17 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The market (M criteria) is technically still in a "correction", and historic studies suggest that no new buying efforts should be made during market corrections. An ideal turning point to watch for would be a solid follow-through day of gains greater than +1.5% from at least one of the 3 major averages with higher volume totals and an expansion in leadership (new 52-week highs).

Stocks ended a choppy trading session mixed as investors digested a disappointing jobs report amid ongoing tension over Syria. Utilities were the best performing sector in the S&P as Edison International (EIX +1.53%) was among the solid gainers. Industrials were the worst performing group as FedEx Corp (FDX -0.68%) edged lower. On the earnings front, VeriFone Systems Inc (PAY +10.09%) rallied after the company posted quarterly results. Ford Motor Co (F -1.63%) fell, despite Standard & Poor's raising the company's debt rating back to investment grade for the first time since 2006.

Turning to fixed income, Treasuries ended higher along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was up 15/32 to yield 2.93% and the 30-year bond added 13/32 to yield 3.87%.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index both remain below their respective 50-day moving average lines. Subsequent rebounds above those short-term averages would be encouraging signs to watch for before one can truly consider those indices in "healthy" shape chart-wise. After Day 7 of the current rally attempt the major averages have not yet produced a follow-through day. A one day gain of +1.5% would be ideal to be considered a solid follow-through day. Meanwhile, losses must not undercut the indices' Day 1 lows, which would technically end the brief rally attempt and signal that the correction is worsening.

The 3 major averages should be trading above their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines to be considered in "healthy" technical shape. It is important to watch for a proper follow-through day (FTD) to signal convincingly that a solid rally is at hand before new buying efforts in stocks may be justified under the fact-based system. Patience and discipline remain paramount.

PICTURED: The S&P Small Cap 600 Index is consolidating near its 50-day moving average line and above its May 2013 highs.

Defensive groups were mixed as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.74%) rallied while the Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.41%) edged lower. The tech sector saw small gains from the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.13%), Networking Index ($NWX +0.25%), and the Internet Index ($IIX +0.30%) while Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.41%) lagged and lost ground. Financial shares were mixed as the Bank Index ($BKX -0.38%) edged lower while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.43%) rose.  The Retail Index ($RLX -0.28%) suffered a small loss. The Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.63%) posted a modest gain while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.10%) ended just above unchanged.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -0.38%) is consolidating below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line near its May 2013 highs.

Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks extended more than +5% above their pivot point or prior highs and always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price. Volume totals have been cooling after spiking higher with gains backed by above average volume.

It reported earnings +37% on +29% sales for the Jun '13 quarter, marking its 6th consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% guideline (C criteria). The company completed another Secondary Offering on 3/08/13 after a streak of volume-driven gains into new high territory. On 3/14/12, 6/11/12, and 11/29/12 it priced Secondary Offerings and it was previously noted, "Such offerings often are a short-term hindrance to upward price progress yet typically result in broader institutional ownership interest."

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 193 in Mar '12 to 427 in Jun '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The company hails from the Finance - Credit Card Payment Processing group which improved to a 79 Group Relative Strength Rating from a 55 rating when shown in the FSU section on 7/18/13. Impressive strength and leadership from a couple of other firms in the same industry group is also considered a reassurance concerning the L criteria.
