Indices Fell With Breadth Negative While Leadership Thinned
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow slid 177 points, extending its weekly retreat to 0.9%. The S&P 500 fell 0.7% for the day and 1.5% for the week. The Nasdaq Composite declined 0.9% to cap a 1.5% weekly decline. The volume totals were mixed despite options expirations, with higher volume than the prior session on the NYSE and lighter volume on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership thinned noticeably as there were only 33 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 142 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet easily outnumbered the new 52-week lows totals which for a 3rd consecutive session 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 S&P 500 Index pulled back from its record high.
The U.S. stocks ended lower on Friday as investors digested fourth-quarter earnings results and economic data releases. Fiscal stimulus updates from the incoming Biden administration were also in focus, after the president-elect outlined a $1.9 trillion stimulus package on Thursday evening. Sentiment was dampened, however, amid speculation that the increase in government spending could bring about higher taxes.
On the data front, retail sales fell 0.7% in December, which was below consensus estimates of a flat reading but slightly better than November’s downwardly revised 1.4% decrease. A preliminary report from the University of Michigan showed consumer sentiment eased to 79.2 in January from 80.7 the prior month. Another release revealed industrial production jumped 1.6% in the final month of 2020, above the November increase of 0.5%. Treasuries advanced, with the 10-year note yield falling four basis points to 1.09%.
Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory. Energy stocks lagged, with Exxon Mobil (XOM -4.81%) down on news the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating the oil giant’s alleged overvaluation of a key asset. Financials also underperformed following quarterly profit tallies from some of world’s largest banks. JPMorgan (JPM -1.79%) fell despite topping Wall Street earnings and sales projections. Citigroup (C -6.93%) slumped after missing consensus sales estimates amid a reported 10% drop in revenue. |

Commodity-Linked, Financial, and Retail Indexes Lost Ground
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX -3.15%) created a drag on the major indices and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.08%) also fell. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.36%) edged lower. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.03%) led the tech sector lower while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.14%) and Biotech Index ($BTK +0.07%) both were little changed. Commodity-linked groups were particularly weak on Friday as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -4.30%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -4.15%), and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -3.88%) each suffered big losses.
.
PICTURED: The Oil Services Index ($OSX -4.30%) suffered a big loss on Friday, pulling back after making solid progress above the June and December highs.

Hit New Highs With Streak of Big Volume-Driven Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Axon Enterprise Inc's (AAXN) is very extended from any sound base, having rallied abruptly for new all-time highs well above its "max buy" level with 4 consecutive volume-driven gains. The prior high ($134) defines initial support to watch. It found prompt support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($125) during the recent consolidation.
AAXN was last shown in this FSU section on 12/23/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "New All-Time High With Today's 5th Consecutive Gain". Its color code was recently changed to yellow after a 4-week square box base pattern was noted. Members were reminded - "A solid gain and close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal."
AAXN completed a new Pubic Offering on 6/17/20. Such offerings often hinder price progress temporarily, yet they help companies attract greater institutional ownership interest (I criteria). The company has a small supply of only 63.5 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 400 in Sep '19 to 573 in Dec '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. AAXN has a Timeliness Rating of B and an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of A. The Security/Safety industry group currently has a Group Relative Strength Rating of B (63).
Fundamentals remain strong. Bullish action has followed after AAXN reported Sep '20 quarterly earnings +43% on +27% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Four of the past 5 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods showed earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) with strong underlying sales revenues increases. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has also been strong, helping it get a 85 Earnings Per Share Rating. |

Y - Posted a solid gain today rebounding near its all-time high. 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 ($245) 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).
