Major Averages Rose But Small Cap Indices Sputtered
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the week, the Dow was up 1%, the S&P advanced 1.8%, and the Nasdaq climbed 2.6%. Stocks finished higher on Friday. The Dow was up 64 points to 19963. The S&P 500 added 7 points to 2276 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 33 points to 5521. Volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners narrowly led advancers on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 20 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 26 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.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index hit a new record high.
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 session Friday following an optimistic update on the labor market. Non-farm payrolls grew 156,000 in December versus a projected 175,000 increase. Wage growth was strong as hourly pay climbed 2.9% from a year earlier, the sharpest increase since 2009. The labor force participation rate was little changed from the previous month at 62.7%. Finally, the unemployment rate came in at 4.7%, in-line with analyst expectations.
Eight of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished positive on the session. Technology stocks led the advance with Facebook (FB +2.27%) rising. Consumer Discretionary stocks outperformed as well with Fiat Chrysler (FCAU +6.22%) rallying after being the subject of positive analyst commentary. In Health Care, Amgen (AMGN +2.48%) rose as the biotech company won a court ruling blocking Regneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN -5.84%) from selling their cholesterol-lowering medicine. Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA -7.53%) fell as the drugmaker lowered its full-year earnings and revenue guidance.
Treasuries declined with the benchmark 10-year note down 19/32 to yield 2.41%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude slipped 0.2% to $53.67/barrel. COMEX gold lost 0.8% to $1172.00/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index gained 0.7%. |

Slump Below "Max Buy" Level But Fundamental Concerns Were Raised
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
China Lodging Group Ads (HTHT -$0.73 or -1.48% to $48.49) is quietly consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($47.89) and prior low ($45.61 on 12/20/16) which define important near-term support levels to watch on pullbacks. Violations would trigger technical sell signals. It has retreated below the previously cited "max buy" level, however it remains color coded green and it was repeatedly noted with caution in prior reports - "Reported earnings +10% on +6% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising concerns."
It was last shown in this FSU section on 12/09/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, " Mostly Bullish Action Continues to Bode Well for China Lodging". Disciplined followers of the fact-based investment system know that buying efforts should only be made in fundamentally superior stocks and only after after a technical buy signal has been triggered. Selling should not be based upon a change fundamentals, but should strictly be based upon the technical action in a stock or market. Therefore, those investors will solid profits in HTHT may still be electing to give it the benefit of the doubt until any worrisome technical sell signals raise concerns. HTHT has traded up as much as +39.5% since first featured in yellow in the 7/13/16 mid-day report (read here).
The number of top-rated funds owing its shares rose from 87 in Sep '15 to 148 in Sep '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Currently the high-ranked Leisure- Lodging firm has a B Timeliness rating and a D Sponsorship rating. Its small supply of 27 million shares (S criteria) in the public float may 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.
