Leadership Contracted as Major Indices Ended Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks took a breather on Tuesday. The S&P 500 fell from a fresh record high as it declined 5 points to 2,012. The NASDAQ Composite lost 15 points to 4,623. The volume totals were reported mixed, higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 65 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 the prior session total of 100 stocks. The new 52-week highs totals contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 8 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page, a list which recently gained several new companies as broader market conditions improved. Disciplined investors know that new buying efforts may be made under the fact-based investment system only in stocks meeting all key criteria.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined as many as 90 points on Tuesday, yet finished up 17 points to 17383. The Blue Chip index is perched at its all-time high after rebounding and rallying quickly from below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.
A drop in energy stocks dragged on the market as WTI crude slid to a three-year low amid news that Saudi Arabia cut prices for exports to the U.S. Schlumberger (SLB -2.45%) and Halliburton (HAL -5.01%) fell. Losses in the consumer discretionary sector also weighed on stocks. Priceline (PCLN -8.41%) fell after posting a disappointing fourth-quarter sales forecast. Michael Kors (KORS -8.42%) fell after same-store sales missed analyst estimates. On the upside, consumer staples rose. Archer Daniels Midland (ADM +4.85%) reported better-than-expected earnings results. Industrials also advanced. 3M (MMM +1.14%) helped the Dow edge higher.
Fed speak garnered some attention. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said he is upbeat about the U.S. economy and there is no need for new stimulus measures as slowing growth in Europe and China is not affecting the U.S. recovery. On the economic front, factory orders fell -0.6% in September and the U.S. trade deficit unexpectedly expanded to a four-month high of $43 billion.Treasuries rose. The 10-year note gained 2/32 to yield 2.34%.
Large gains on 10/21/14 backed by higher volume totals while leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) expanded met the definition of a "follow-through day" confirming a new uptrend for the market (M criteria). The S&P 500 Index, Nasdaq Composite Index, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average have collectively rebounded above their respective 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines, technically putting the market in a healthier stance.

Commodity-Linked Groups and Retail Index Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX -0.08%) finished flat and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.33%) inched higher. The tech sector was mixed as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.28%) edged lower and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.97%) fell while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.40%) posted a modest gain. The Retail Index ($RLX -1.06%) was a negative influence on the major averages on Tuesday. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -3.71%) was a standout decliner as it more than erased the prior session's big bounce. Energy-related shares were weak as losses for the Oil Services Index ($OSX -3.27%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.67%) created a drag on the market.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -0.08%) has rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after deep pullback below its 200 DMA line tested its early 2014 lows.

Stock With Small Supply Quickly Got Extended From Prior Base
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Strattec Security Corp (STRT +$0.49 or +0.48% to $102.65) is hovering near its 52-week high, stubbornly holding its ground after volume-driven gains. The Auto/Truck - Original Equipment firm is very extended beyond its "max buy" level. Prior highs in the $88 area define important near-term support to watch above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
STRT was last shown in this FSU section on 10/20/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Building Base-On-Base Pattern Ahead of Earnings News". A powerful volume-driven gain on 10/24/14 cleared its base-on-base pattern leaving no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. It has traded up as much as +53.1% since first highlighted in yellow at $71.47 with pivot point based on its 6/06/14 high plus 10 cents in the 8/22/14 mid-day report (read here).
The thinly-traded stock has a small supply (S criteria) of only 3.36 million shares in the public float which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. Quarterly earnings increases through Sep '14 were above the +25% minimum guideline satisfy the C criteria and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong. Increasing ownership by top-rated funds (I criteria) is a reassuring sign. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 59 in Sep '14 to 158 in Sep '14, a very reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

G - Falling again today with above average volume after a 50 DMA line violation on 3 times average volume raised concerns and triggered a technical sell signal on the prior session. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. The company reported earnings +59% on +59% sales for the Sep '14 quarter but warned of rising costs. Historic studies show that investors have a far better chance of success when buying as a stock is breaking out, not buying on pullbacks.
