Nasdaq Composite Index Fell as Major Indices Ended Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both eked out small gains, inching further into record territory. The Nasdaq Composite, meanwhile, declined -0.3%. Volume was reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by an 8-5 margin on the NYSE and by a 4-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 132 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up solidly from the total of 119 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched at a new all-time high.

Seven of the 11 S&P 500 sectors closed higher, led by utilities (+0.7%), materials (+0.6%), and industrials (+0.5%). The energy sector (-0.6%) saw the largest decline as oil and natural gas prices dropped. WTI crude oil futures fell 2.6% to $76.52/bbl and natural gas futures dropped 7.1% to $1.70/mmbtu. The consumer discretionary sector (-0.3%) also lagged the broader market due weakness in shares of Booking Holdings (BKNG -10.15%) after its earning report. BKNG was the worst performing stock in the S&P 500. Warner Bros Discover (WBD -9.94%) was another notable laggard after disappointing earnings, weighing down the communication services sector (-0.2%).

There was a drop in the 10-yr Treasury note yield, down seven basis points to 4.26%.

Most Recent Note - 2/20/2024 7:04:04 PM Y - Retreating from its all-time high with today's loss on average volume.

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. >>> FEATURED STOCK ARTICLE : Strong Finish for Thinly Traded U.S Lime & Minerals - 2/9/2024 \| View all notes \| Set NEW NOTE alert \| Company Profile \| SEC News \| Chart \| Request a new note C A S I
