Major Indices Were Little Changed While Nasdaq Composite Led
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow fell just 8 points, while the S&P 500 added 0.2%. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.4%. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was fairly even as advancers led decliners by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE while decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 79 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from 124 total on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still easily outnumbered the new 52-week lows totals which were in the single digits 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 is hovering near its record high.
U.S. stocks finished mostly higher on Wednesday, as investors looked past political headlines and awaited updates on fiscal spending. President-elect Joe Biden will provide details on what is expected to be a wide-ranging stimulus plan tomorrow after the close. Market participants also continued to assess COVID-19 concerns, including rising global infections and a slower-than-anticipated vaccine rollout.
Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory, with Utilities and Real Estate pacing the gains. Information Technology was a notable outperformer, with shares of Intel (INTC +6.97%) jumping after the chipmaker announced a leadership change. The cyclical-oriented Materials and Industrial groups lagged. Energy also underperformed, following the group's 3.5% jump on Tuesday. In other corporate news, KB Homes (KBH +2.52%) rose after beating on the top and bottom line and reporting better-than-expected order growth. General Motors (GM +1.90%) rose on news the auto maker is launching a new electric-truck business.
Treasuries advanced following strong demand for the $24 billion 30-year bond auction. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note slipped four basis points to 1.09%, while the yield on the 30-year bond slumped six basis points to 1.82%. On the data front, core CPI (ex-food and energy) rose 1.6% year-over-year in December following a similar 1.6% increase in November. A separate update revealed the U.S. December budget deficit widened to $143.6 billion, which is a record for the month. In FOREX trading, the dollar rose 0.3% after falling 0.5% on Tuesday. |

Retail Index Posted Standout Gain
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX +0.43%) posted a modest gain but weakness in the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.82%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.53%) created a drag on the major indices. The tech sector had a negative bias as the Networking Index ($NWX -1.41%) and Biotech Index ($BTK -0.86%) lost ground, meanwhile the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.13%) eked out a tiny gain. Commodity-linked groups also had a negative bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -2.54%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.40%), and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.67%) posted unanimous losses.
.
PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.82%) pulled back on Wednesday yet remains perched near its all-time high.

Distributional Pressure Brings Pullback Below "Max Buy" Level
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -$3.58 or -3.75% to $91.78) encountered distributional pressure with today's 2nd consecutive volume-driven loss after wedging to touch a new all-time high with unimpressive volume behind gains. Its color code was changed to yellow after pulling back below its "max buy" level. Recent lows in the $89 area and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($89.28) coincide defining important near term support to watch.
It reported earnings +128% on +56% sales revenues for the Sep '20 quarter versus the year ago period and announced plans to acquire Xilinx Inc (XLNX). The 5 latest quarterly comparisons through Sep '20 showed very strong earnings increases w ell above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) with strong underlying sales revenues growth versus the year ago periods. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been very strong after losses in FY '15 and '16. it has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.
AMD hails from the Electronics - Semiconductor Fabless industry which has a Group Relative Strength Rating of 59 (L criteria). It has a large supply of 1.20 billion shares outstanding (S criteria), which makes it less likely to be a quick sprinter. However, the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,669 in Jun '19 to 2,382 in Sep '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.0 is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of B, a Sponsorship Rating of A, and an Accumulation/Distribution rating of B-.

Y - Pulled back today breaking a streak of 5 consecutive gains for new all-time highs. Recent gains above its pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume helped clinch a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($242.91) acted 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).
