Major Indices Start Year With Pullback From Record Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow and S&P 500 both fell from their all-time highs reached on Thursday, with the former slumping 382 points and the latter sliding 1.5%. The Nasdaq Composite also fell 1.5%, after posting its sharpest annual increase (+43.6%) since 2009. The volume totals were higher than the prior session volume totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 4-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 59 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 33 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded easily outnumbered the new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions based based on the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system. PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell from its record high with a loss on higher volume.
Stocks ended firmly lower on the first trading session of the New Year, as spiking U.S. COVID-19 cases weighed on sentiment. Market participants also eyed tomorrow's special Senate run-off election in Georgia, which will determine the balance of power in the chamber.
Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory. Energy was the lone advancer, despite WTI crude falling 2.5% to $47.32/barrel. The Industrials group was a notable laggard, with shares of Boeing (BA -5.30%) fell after the jet maker was the subject of an analyst downgrade. In other corporate news, Tesla (TSLA +3.42%) rose after reporting it delivered a record number of vehicles in the fourth quarter. Teledyne Technologies (TDY -7.55%) fell on news it will acquire FLIR Systems (FLIR +19.19%) .
On the data front, a final reading on U.S. manufacturing activity for December from research firm Markit unexpectedly improved to 57.1 from the initial 56.5 reading. A separate update showed construction spending rose 0.9% in November. The balance of the week will feature a busy economic data slate, highlighted by Friday's monthly nonfarm labor report. Treasuries were mixed, with the yield on the 10-year note holding steady at 0.91%. |

Distributional Pressure While Testing Important Chart Support
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Clearfield Inc (CLFD -$0.53 or -2.14% to $24.19) slumped further below the pivot point with today's big loss on near average volume. It tested near term support defined by its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($23.7) and an upward trendline. More damaging losses may raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. It churned higher volume in recent weeks without making meaningful price progress, action indicative of distributional pressure.
The high-ranked TELECOMMUNICATIONS - Fiber Optics firm reported earnings +57% on +14% sales revenues for the Sep '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive quarterly earnings comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has improved after a downturn in FY '17.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 132 in Jun '20 to 134 in Sep '20. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It currently has a Timeliness Rating of B but a Sponsorship Rating of D. Its Accumulation/Distribution Rating is B.

Y - Posted a small gain today with light volume. The pivot point cited is based on its 11/09/20 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above its pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($237) has been acting as support. Reported Sep '20 quarterly earnings +38% on +11% sales revenues versus the year ago period, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria).

A prompt rebound is needed for its outlook to improve. A subsequent gain and close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong.
