Breadth Positive and Leadership Improved as Major Indices Were Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished mostly higher on Tuesday. The Dow was down 31 points to 19855. The S&P 500 finished unchanged at 2268 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 20 points to 5551. Volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by 9-5 on the NYSE and by nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 21 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 6 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched near its record high, recently challenging the 20,000 level.
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 Nasdaq Composite climbed to an all-time high on Tuesday as investors digested optimistic updates on the economy. On the data front, the Labor Department revealed the number of available jobs rose 1.3% in November from the previous month. In a separate release, an National Federation of Independent Business survey showed small business optimism increased above expectations in December, climbing to a 12-year high. Finally, wholesale inventories grew 1% in November, in-line with expectations.
Six of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 ended in positive territory. Financials outperformed with Bank of America (BAC +1.7%) up. Airline stocks led Industrials higher with United Continental Holdings Inc (UAL +3.34%) rising. In Health Care, Illumina (ILMN +16.60%) rose as the company introduced a new DNA sequencer which can sequence human genome in an hour. Shares of Zimmer Biomet (ZBH +6.23%) rose after the medical device maker raised its earnings guidance. Williams Co. (WMB -10.74%) led the losses in Energy, with shares falling after being the subject of negative analyst commentary.
Treasuries finished modestly lower with the benchmark 10-year note down 3/32 to yield 2.38%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude fell 2.3% to $50.78/barrel. COMEX gold gained 0.2% to $1187.10/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index advanced 0.1%. |

Volume Totals Cooling While Consolidating Above Prior Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
BioTelemetry Inc (BEAT +$0.20 or +0.89% to $22.70) is consolidating near its "max buy" level with volume totals cooling. Disciplined investors know to never chase stocks and buy them more than +5% above prior highs, and to preserve capital they always sell any stock that falls more than -8% from their purchase price.
Prior highs in the $21-22 area define initial support to watch above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($20.17). Volume totals have generally been cooling since it was last shown in this FSU section on 12/19/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Breakaway Gap Technically Clears 11-Week V Shaped Base". It was first highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 10/05/16 high plus 10 cents in the 12/19/16 mid-day report (read here).
It finished strong with +350% above average volume behind its gain after gapping up hitting a new 52-week high (N criteria). It rose from an 11-week "V shaped pattern, which is not as ideal as a more orderly base pattern. During its consolidation it found prompt support near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line, a reassuring sign that institutional owners stepped up near that long-term average.
It has the highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99, well above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Its quarterly and annual earnings history is a good match with the C and A criteria. Earnings per share rose +200%, +233%, +67%, and +62% in the Dec '15, Mar, Jun and Sep '16 quarters, respectively. During that same span the sales revenues increases were +7%, +12%, +18%, and +22%, showing encouraging acceleration.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 194 in Dec '15 to 261 in Sep '16.Increasing ownership by top-rated funds is a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria, and it has a small supply (S criteria) of only 28.2 million shares outstanding.

Y - Wedging higher with gains lacking volume after a new pivot point was cited based on its 12/08/16 high plus 10 cents. Gains above a pivot point must have a minimum of +40% above average volume to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($66) defines important support above prior highs.

G - Quietly rising from support at its 50 DMA line ($48.05). The prior low ($45.61 on 12/20/16) defines the next important near-term support level. 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." See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
