Breadth Positive as Major Indices Rose With Lighter Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow climbed 572 points, bouncing back from a 150-point decline to cap a 1.8% weekly advance. The S&P 500 also erased early session losses to rise 2%, lifting the broad index 0.8% higher for the week. The Nasdaq Composite was whipsawed in choppy trading, eventually ending the session up 1.6%, paring its third consecutive weekly drop to 2.1%. The volume was lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 63 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 40 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a correction (M criteria). Investors are reminded to raise cash and avoid new buying efforts until a new confirmed rally marked by a solid follow-through day.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index posted a gain with lighter volume on Friday. It violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with damaging losses on higher volume.
U.S. stocks ended a volatile week on a positive note Friday. Investors monitored another jump in Treasury yields and digested a robust monthly jobs report. On the data front, the Labor Department's monthly non-farm payrolls report showed the U.S. economy added 379,000 jobs in February, well above expectations of a 200,000 gain and January's upwardly revised 166,000 figure. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 6.2% from the prior 6.3% reading. Following the release, the yield on the 10-year note surged above 1.60% before paring the spike. Still, Treasuries finished lower for the fifth straight week, with the yield on the 10-year note having surged 16 basis points to 1.56% since last Friday's (February 26) close.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory. Energy shares once again outperformed, rallying over 10% for the week amid a jump in oil prices. WTI crude's more than 7% weekly gain lifted the U.S. benchmark above $66/barrel, helped by a surprise decision from OPEC+ to extend production cuts into April. Consumer Discretionary shares lagged, with Tesla (TSLA -3.78%) down for a fourth consecutive week. In earnings, chipmaker Broadcom (AVGO +1.48%) rose following a top and bottom line beat. In other corporate news, Oracle (ORCL +6.58%) rose to new all-time highs after an analyst upgrade. |

Found Support at 50-Day Moving Average; Relative Strength Improved
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Simply Good Foods Co (SMPL +$1.39 or +4.80% to $30.33) posted a big gain today with below average volume. It has been retesting its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($29.1) which recently acted as support. Its Relative Strength Rating is 81, above the 80+ minimum guideline. Its prior low ($26.78) defines the next important near term support to watch.
SMPL was last shown in this FSU section on 2/17/21 with an annotated graph included under the headline, "Pulling Back Quietly After Rebounding Near All-Time High". It was first highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/09/19 high plus 10 cents in the 12/28/20 mid-day report (read here).
Fundamentals remain strong. It report Nov '20 quarterly earnings +32% on +52% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 4th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong.
SMPL completed a new Pubic Offering on 10/09/19. The company has a Timeliness Rating of B and Sponsorship Rating of C. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares fell from 442 in Dec '19 to 345 in Dec '20, however, its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
Some leadership has been provided by other companies in the Food/Beverage Sector, however, the Food-Confectionery industry group has a Group Relative Strength Rating of 3 (E) which is a concern regarding the L criteria. There are only 5 companies listed in the group.

Y - There was a "negative reversal" today at its 52-week high after featured in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 1/26/21 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report. Subsequent gains and a strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
