Major Indices Fell Slightly With Less Volume and Less Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished mostly lower on Thursday. The Dow was down 42 points to 19899. The S&P 500 lost 1 point to 2269 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 10 points to 5487. Volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership thinned as there were 26 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 60 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange and the new lows total on the NYSE was in the single digits again.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average has been holding its ground near record highs.
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 fluctuated throughout the session as U.S. Treasuries advanced and investors digested mixed economic releases. On the data front, an ADP report showed that 153,000 workers were added to private payrolls in December, below estimates of 175,000. In a separate release, Markit’s survey of U.S. business activity expanded to 53.9 in December. Finally, initial jobless claims came in at 235,000, below the expected 260,000.
Six of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory. Financials led the losses with Citigroup (C -1.74%) ending lower. In the consumer space, Macy’s (M -13.9%) slid after the department store operator announced disappointing holiday sales and a plan to likely cut 6,200 workers. Kohl’s (KSS -19.02%) tumbled as the retailer slashed its full-year earnings guidance. In M&A news, CEB Inc. (CEB +20.92%) rose after agreeing to a $2.6 billion takeover bid from Gartner, Inc. (IT -11.03%) Shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG +2.63%) rose after being the subject of positive analyst commentary.
Treasuries finished higher with the benchmark 10-year note up 23/32 to yield 2.35%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude added 0.8% to $53.66/barrel. COMEX gold gained 1.4% to $1181.70/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index tumbled 1.3%. |

Perched Near All-Time High Building New Flat Base
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Evercore Partners Inc (EVR +$0.20 or +0.28% to $71.40) ended 15 cents off its best-ever close with today's 3rd consecutive gain with light volume, while building on a new flat base. Its color code is changed to yellow with new point cited based on its 12/08/16 high plus 10 cents. A volume-driven gain for new highs may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal.
Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($64.96) defines important near-term support above prior highs. It was last shown in this FSU section on 12/05/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Hit Another New High Today With Volume-Driven Gain". Insider buying was reported in recent weeks, a reassuring sign, as EVR rallied +12.8% since featured in the 11/14/16 mid-day report highlighted in yellow with pivot point based on its 11/06/15 high plus 10 cents (read here).
The high-ranked Finance - Investment Banks/Brokers firm provides advisory services to multinational corporations on mergers, acquistions, divestitures and restructurings. EVR reported earnings +51% on +25% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter. Three of the past 4 earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and steady.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares fell from 406 in Dec '15 to 390 in Sep '16, a less than reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. However, its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has an A Timeliness rating and a B sponsorship Rating. Its small supply of only 38.9 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

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.

Met resistance near its 50 DMA line ($29.41) and slumped further today with slightly higher volume. Its Relative Strength rating has dropped to 72, below the 80+ guideline for buy candidates. More damaging losses would raise even greater concerns. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight.
