Dow Hit New High as Major Averages Rallied
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks staged a rally on Tuesday. The S&P 500 added 14 points to 1,998. The NASDAQ gained 33 points to 4,552. Volume totals were reported mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 5-4 on the NASDAQ exchange. Leadership improved a bit as there were 17 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 6 stocks. However, new 52-week lows again outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. There were gains for all 13 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The broader market (M criteria) recently encountered distributional pressure while leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) waned. Remember that disciplined investors buy stocks with superior fundamentals only after they have triggered a proper technical buy signal.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose to a fresh all-time high as it increased 100 points to 17,131.
Energy stocks paced the advance as WTI crude jumped to a two-week high. Schlumberger (SLB +1.9%) and ConocoPhillips (COP +1.7%) rose. Healthcare and utilities also helped lift the market. Humana (HUM +3.7%) rallied after announcing a new $2 billion buyback program. PPL Corp (PPL +2.6%) rose. M&A activity also garnered attention. Glimcher Realty Trust (GRT +29.8%) rallied following news that Washington Prime Group (WPG -6.61%) agreed to buy the company for about $2 billion.
Overseas stimulus measures added to the upside as China's central bank reportedly started providing about $81 billion in loans to its five biggest banks. The Fed was also on investors' minds as the two-day FOMC meeting kicked off. The central bank will issue a statement Wednesday afternoon which may reveal indications as to when policy makers may begin raising interest rates.
Treasuries were little changed. The 10-year note was flat to yield 2.59%. The 30-year bond declined 7/32 to yield 3.36%.

Retail, Tech, and Commodity-Linked Groups Gained
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Financial shares did not participate in the rally as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.04%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.01%) finished flat on Tuesday. The Retail Index ($RLX +1.01%) was a positive influence on the major averages while the tech sector saw unanimous gains as the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.61%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.72%) outpaced the Networking Index ($NWX +0.68%). Commodity-linked shares had a positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.77%), Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.83%), and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.07%) ratcheted higher.

Finished Strong While Challenging Pivot Point and Recent Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Navigator Holdings Ltd (NVGS +$0.82 or to $30.52) finished near the session high with a volume-driven gain after highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It formed an orderly base and found support when consolidating near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. While it has recently been stalling, subsequent volume-driven gains above the cited pivot point based on its 6/19/14 high plus 10 cents could trigger a convincing technical buy signal. It came very close to that threshold with today's gain, and it is perched near its 52-week high with very little resistance remaining due to overhead supply. A powerful rally into new (N criteria) all-time high territory could help to confirm that meaningful buying demand is lurking from the institutional crowd which could lead to a sustained price advance.
The Oil & Gas - Transport/Pipeline industry group has an A+ Group Relative Strength rating, a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. Its earnings history has been strong through the Jun '14 quarter with increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its limited annual earnings (A criteria) history is a concern, meanwhile a good number of top-rated funds (I criteria) have chosen to buy shares while it has rallied from its IPO at $19 on 11/21/13.
It has a small supply of only 27.7 million shares (S criteria) in the public float which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. Its current up/Down Volume ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Y - Down considerably with heavy volume behind today's loss, action indicative of distributional pressure. Prior notes cautioned members "Recent gains lacked great volume conviction while gains above a stock's pivot point must have at least +40% above averages volume to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and annotated graphs. Prior highs in the $72 area define initial support along with its 50 DMA line."
