Leadership Thin Behind Gains for Major Indices

Stocks advanced on Tuesday. The Dow was up 117 points to 16516. The S&P 500 added 15 points to 1938. The NASDAQ climbed 47 points at 4685. Volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners narrowly led advancers on the NYSE while advancers narrowly led decliners on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained thin as there was only 1 high-ranked company from the Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and was listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from 5 on the prior session. There were gains for 2 of the 3 high-ranked companies remaining on the Featured Stocks Page. That list was trimmed as market weakness weighed on prior leaders and the broader market. New 52-week lows solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a gain on Tuesday, marking Day 2 of a new rally attempt. The Blue Chip index is -10% off its record high. Concerns rose as it and the other major averages again slumped well below their respective 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

The fact-based investment system always prompts investors to reduce exposure by selling faltering stocks in weak markets. New leadership (stocks hitting new highs) has become elusive as the major averages (M criteria) resumed their previously noted "correction" and distributional pressure from the institutional crowd brought widespread damage to stocks. This is a good time to keep a watchlist of the strongest stocks, meanwhile, preserving cash and reducing risk until a new confirmed rally is finally noted.

The major averages fluctuated for much of the session as optimism surrounding further Chinese stimulus measures was tempered by the continued descent in oil prices. On the Fed front, Richmond President Jeffrey Lacker indicated in a speech this afternoon that stronger-than-expected economic growth would necessitate a faster pace of interest rate hikes.

 In earnings, Alcoa (AA -9.00%) sank after beating earnings estimates but missing revenue expectations. Anthem (ANTM +5.64%) rallied after projecting 2016 earnings above consensus projections while Lululemon (LULU +3.82%) rose after lifting its quarterly forecast. In the oil patch, Freeport-McMoran (FCX -4.64%) fell to $4.11 amid more negative analyst commentary.

Eight out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 traded higher on Tuesday. Tech and healthcare stocks outperformed while utilities and telecom shares lagged. Alphabet (GOOGL +1.67%) paced the gains in tech.

Treasuries gained after strong demand in the latest $24 billion two-year note auction. The benchmark 10-year note added 18/32 to yield 2.11%, the lowest level since October. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude slid another 2.7% to $30.56/barrel. COMEX gold declined 0.6% to $1090.00/ounce amid a stronger dollar.

Help Available For You in Making Fact-Based Buy/Sell Decisions With Greater Success

There are few stocks included on the Featured Stocks list now and none of the companies need additional review. At times like these we have an opportunity to look back. In the past we reviewed Ambarella (AMBA) on 9/03/15 and Skyworks (SWKS) on 9/17/15. 

Previously featured stocks which were dropped can serve as great educational examples of the investment system's tactics. Some are vivid reminders that all high-ranked leaders eventually fall out of favor.
