Breadth Negative and Volume Higher as Major Indices Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished firmly lower Thursday. The Dow lost 220 points to 25,169 while the S&P 500 fell 25 points to 2,706. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 86 points to 7,288. The volume totals were higher than the prior session on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 17 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 26 on the prior session. New 52-week highs solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE while there were even totals on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend after recently noted improvements helped to signal a change in market direction (M criteria) back to a bullish stance. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.
The major averages declined as investors digested the latest trade updates. White House officials indicated that the proposed meeting between President Trump and Chinese President Xi is “highly unlikely” ahead of the March 1 deadline. Concerns of a slowdown in global economic growth also weighed on sentiment after the European Commission cut its 2019 growth outlook for the Eurozone. On the data front, a report showed initial jobless claims eased to 234,000 in the most recent week. A separate update showed consumer credit rose less than anticipated to $16.6 billion in December.
Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory with the “defensive” Real Estate and Utilities the only groups ending in positive territory. Energy shares led declines in sympathy with WTI crude falling 2.6% to $52.59/barrel. Technology shares were also broadly lower with Apple (AAPL -1.89%) fell. In M&A news, SunTrust Bank (STI +10.13%) and BB&T (BBT +3.98%) after announcing the largest bank merger since the financial crisis, a deal valued around $66 billion.
Treasuries strengthened along the curve with the yield on the 10-year note slipping three basis points to 2.66%. In commodities, COMEX gold fell 0.1% to $1,308.90/ounce amid a stronger dollar. |

Closed Near Pivot Point After Gap Up and Big Volume-Driven Gain
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Ensign Group Inc (ENSG +$4.79 or +10.84% to $48.98) gapped up today hitting new 52-week and all-time highs with a considerable volume-driven gain. It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/12/18 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent confirming gains backed by at least +40% above average volume and a close above the pivot point ($49.06) may trigger a proper technical buy signal.
The 5 most recent quarters through Dec '18 showed earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) while its sales revenues growth rate has been in the 9-11% range. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has improved steadily after downturn in FY '13 and '14.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 324 in Mar '18 to 443 in Dec '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of C. Its small supply of 52.3 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. .

Y - Holding its ground today. Highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 9/14/18 high plus 10 cents in the 2/06/19 mid-day report. The "breakaway gap" with +388% above average volume cleared all overhead supply and triggered a technical buy signal. Reported earnings +24% on +32% sales revenues for the Dec '18 quarter, one notch below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria).

Found prompt support today at its 200 DMA line. Reported earnings +9% on +15% sales revenues for the Dec '18 quarter, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) raising fundamental concerns. Damaging volume-driven losses last week triggered technical sell signals. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is ($17.82) needed for its outlook to improve. It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight.
