Major Indices Ended Slightly Lower
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices ended unanimously lower on Friday. Volume was reported near the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancer by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 96 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 117 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). New buying efforts should be only made in stocks fitting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index pulled back after 2 consecutive gains.
Only three of the 11 S&P 500 sectors closed higher including materials (+0.5%), health care (+0.3%), and consumer staples (+0.2%). The communication services sector (-1.6%) logged the largest decline.
The 2-yr note yield settled nine basis points higher at 4.65%. The 10-yr note yield rose six basis points to 4.30%. There was little reaction to another hot inflation reading in the form of January PPI. Bond and equity markets are closed on Monday for Presidents Day. |

Tech Sector Had a Slightly Negative Bias
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.19%) inched higher while the Bank Index ($BKX -0.30%) edged lower and the Retail Index ($RLX -0.09%) finished flat on Friday. Commodity-linked groups were indecisive as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.34%) eked out small gain as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.09%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.29%) both ended slightly lower. The tech sector had a slightly negative bias as the Networking Index ($NWX -0.98%), Biotech Index ($BTK -0.42%), and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.67%) unanimously ended in the red.
![]() PICTURED: The Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.09%) met resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMD) line when rebounding from the recent low.

Undercutting the recent low with today's loss. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight. Reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +16% on +13% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) raising fundamental concerns.

Y - Gapped down today retreating from its all-time high after 4 consecutive gains. Finished strong and managed a best-ever close after highlighted in yellow in the 2/09/24 mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 1/24/24 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains and a close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a conviciing new technical buy signal. Through Dec '23 its quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong, a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Thinly traded firm has only 5.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
