Major Indices Bounced Back With Less Volume and Thin Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished higher Monday. The Dow climbed 410 points to 24601. The S&P 500 gained 36 points to 2656 while the Nasdaq Composite was up 107 points to 6981. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by nearly a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week lows totals again outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. New leadership remained elusive as there were 7 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 4 on the prior session. Heavier distributional pressure on the major averages (M criteria) has been noted since last Monday (read here) as a worrisome "correction" warranting much greater caution. During market corrections investors should avoid new buying efforts and raise cash by quickly reacting to technical sell signals from stocks on a case-by-case basis. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
 PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index remains below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. The gain on Monday simply marked Day 2 of a new rally attempt. Disciplined investors will watch carefully for a follow-through-day of gains on higher volume marked by an expansion in leadership (new highs) to signal when new buying efforts are again justified under the fact-based investment system. Meanwhile, patience and caution are paramount. The Featured Stocks Page provides the latest analysis on noteworthy high-ranked leaders.
U.S. equities rebounded from last week’s sell-off, as the S&P 500 found support at Friday’s 200-day moving average level. The Nasdaq Composite returned to positive territory for the year. The major averages were boosted by President Trump’s budget proposal for 2019, which includes a $200 billion infrastructure spending plan.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed higher. Technology paced gains as Apple (AAPL +4.03%) and Cisco Systems (CSCO +2.71%) rose. Industrials and Materials also outperformed following President Trump’s infrastructure plan announcement. Boeing (BA +3.30%) and Sherwin-Williams (SHW +1.21%) rose. Ulta Beauty (ULTA -4.15%) was a notable laggard, falling amid reports a lawsuit has been filed against the company. In M&A news, CSRA Inc. (CSRA +31.05%) was up after General Dynamics Corp. (GD -1.21%) announced it will acquire the information technology firm for $9.6 billion.
Treasuries pared early session losses. The yield on the 10-year note had reached a new four-year high of 2.90% before settling up two basis points at 2.85%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude added 0.2% to $59.33/barrel, halting a six-day selloff. COMEX gold advanced 0.9% to $1324.20/ounce amid a weaker dollar.

Rebound Above 50-day Moving Average is Needed to Help Outlook
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Five Below Inc (FIVE +$1.00 or +1.57% to $64.67) posted a gain with below average volume today. A rebound above the 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($66.26) is needed to help its outlook improve. Weak action on 1/08/18 negated a recent breakout from an advanced "3 weeks tight" base.
FIVE was last shown in this FSU section on 1/17/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating After Negating Breakout From Advanced Base". The subsequent slump below the prior low ($64.73 on 1/10/18) and below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line triggered technical sell signals.
Five Below has traded up as much as +44.89% since highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 5/19/17 high plus 10 cents in the 10/06/17 mid-day report (read here). Fundamentals remain very strong as it reported earnings +80% on +29% sales revenues for the Oct '17 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record. The Retail - Discount & Variety firm has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating and matches the fact-based investment system's winning models with a good annual earnings (A criteria) track record. It has been showing acceleration in sales revenues and earnings in sequential quarterly comparisons.
FIVE had a choppy history since its $17 IPO in July 2012 and 3 subsequent Secondary Offerings. It has a small supply of 55.2 million shares outstanding (S criteria). Its current Timeliness Rating is A and its Sponsorship Rating is C. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 432 in Jun '16 to 460 in Dec '17, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days.
