Indices Posted Solid Gains on First 2017 Session
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished higher on Tuesday. The Dow was up 119 points to 19881. The S&P 500 added 19 points to 2257 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 45 points to 5429. Volume totals were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 52 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 16 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.
PICTURED: The 3-year Nasdaq Composite Index chart shows the index perched near its record high. It was up +7.5% for 2016. It dropped sharply at the start of 2016, but recovered and extended its gains further into record high territory following the election.
Near record high territory, the major averages (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend. New buying efforts should only be made in candidates with superior fundamental and technical characteristics. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.
The major averages advanced on the first trading day of 2017 as investors digested optimistic economic releases. On the data front, a report from the Institute for Supply Management showed that American manufacturing expanded in December at the fastest pace in two years. Separately, Markit’s survey of U.S. manufacturing grew to 54.3 last month. In M&A news, Depomed (DEPO +12.87%) rallied amid reports that KKR & Co (KKR +2.86%), is still interested in buying the company.
Ten of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. Telecom stocks paced the gains with CenturyLink (CTL +6.60%) rose. Consumer Discretionary stocks outperformed, including Ford (F +3.79%). and Fiat Chrysler (FCAU +4.71%) rose as the automaker announced collaboration with Alphabet (GOOG +1.86%) on connected-car systems. In Technology, Xerox (XRX +19.83%) rose after completing the separation of Conduent Inc. (CNDT -7.92%), creating two publicly-traded companies. DSW Inc. (DSW -6.75%) was a notable decliner after being the subject of negative analyst commentary.
Treasuries fluctuated on the session with the benchmark 10-year note down 1/32 to yield 2.44%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude fell 2.4% to $52.41/barrel. COMEX gold added 0.5% to $1157.80/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index gained 0.5%. |

Orderly Consolidation Continues Well Above Support
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Berry Plastics Group Inc (BERY +$0.64 or +1.31% to $49.37) found support today and posted a gain with better volume than seen while it has been consolidating above its "max buy" level with volume totals generally cooling since its breakout. Prior highs in the $46 area and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($47.37) define important support to watch on pullbacks.
It was last shown in this FSU section on 12/01/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Pulling Back After 'Breakaway Gap' With Heavy Volume". The high-ranked Containers/Packaging firm was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 10/25/16 high plus 10 cents in the 11/30/16 mid-day report (read here). There was a "breakaway gap" on 11/29/16 powering to new 52-week highs with considerable volume-driven gains. A breakaway gap is one noted exception to the rule that investors should not chase a stock more than +5% above prior highs, however, risk increases the further above the pivot point one buys any stock.
Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong. Big sales revenues and earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the past 4 quarterly comparisons through Sep '16 help make it a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 473 in Dec '15 to 568 in Sep '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It currently has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship rating of C.

Y - Hovering near its high after wedging higher with recent gains lacking great volume conviction. New pivot point was cited based on its 11/17/16 high plus 10 cents after an orderly base-on-base pattern. A volume-driven gain and strong close above the pivot point may clinch a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Recent lows in the $22 area and its 50 DMA line ($22.95) coincide defining important support to watch on pullbacks.
