Major Averages Post Gains With Less Volume Conviction
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks rose on Monday’s session. The Dow was up 229 points to 16620. The S&P 500 gained 28 points to 1945. The Nasdaq Composite was 66 points higher at 4570. Volume was reported lighter on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing less serious buying demand from the institutional crowd. Advancers led decliners by more than 3-1 on the NYSE and more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 26 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, doubling the total of 13 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, meanwhile the highs/lows totals were even on the Nasdaq exchange. The Featured Stocks Page includes new noteworthy leaders only as the tone of the market dictates.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounded to its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
Improved action from the major averages (M criteria) last Wednesday signaled a new follow through day and confirmed rally, an encouraging sign that a deeper correction and more serious "Bear Market" may be avoided. Members have been repeatedly reminded -"Any sustained rally requires a healthy crop of leaders (defined as stocks hitting new highs), however, few leaders have bullish chart patterns and the few isolated technical breakouts of late have been quickly negated." The major averages finished firmly in positive territory to extend last
week’s advance amid a rally in crude prices. Chevron (CVX +2.7%) and
ConocoPhillips (COP +4.8%) rose on speculation that announced production
curbs by Russia and Saudi Arabia may help reduce excess inventories. Industrials
and Materials also provided a tailwind to the market. United Technologies (UTX +4.7%) rose while Honeywell (HON -2%) fell after a report the two
companies recently held preliminary merger discussions. Aluminum maker Alcoa (AA +13.2%) rose in sympathy with higher metal prices.
On the data front, updates on manufacturing were mixed. The Chicago Fed
reported a surprise increase in Midwest business activity during January.
Markit’s preliminary February PMI reading was 51.0, below the consensus estimate
of 52.5 and down from 52.4 last month. In earnings news, Allergan (AGN +3.7%) rose after the Botox maker posted profits above projections. Tenet
Healthcare (THC +7.1%) rose ahead of its quarterly results after the
close.
Treasuries were lower on the session. Benchmark 10-year notes fell 2/32 to
yield 1.75%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude rallied 6.2% to $31.48/barrel.
COMEX gold declined 1.7% to $1209.50/ounce. The Featured Stocks Page includes most current notes with headline links for access to more detailed letter-by-letter analysis including price/volume graphs annotated by our experts. See the Premium Member Homepage for archives to all prior pay reports. |

Volume-Driven Gain For New High Close
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Sanfilippo John B & Son (JBSS +$2.43 or +3.76% to $67.13) finished at a best-ever close with today's big gain backed by +48% above average volume triggering a technical buy signal. JBSS was highlighted in yellow with a pivot point cited based on its 11/02/15 high plus 10 cents in the 1/29/16 mid-day report (read here). A Special Dividend effective 11/30/15 impacted price history shown on some chart sources. It reported earnings +43% on +11% sales revenues for the Dec '15 quarter, its 4th consecutive earnings comparison (C criteria) above the +25% minimum guideline, and fundamentals remain strong. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been steady after a downturn in FY '11. It was last shown in this FSU section with an annotated graph on 1/29/16 under the headline, "Gap Up Gain Nearly Challenging Prior Highs". The Food - Misc Preparation firm processes and markets various nuts. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of C. Its small supply of only 8.3 million shares (S criteria) in the float may contribute to greater price volatility. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 200 in Dec '14 to 261 in Sep '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
