Major Indices Were Mixed on Friday, Yet All Higher for the Week
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow climbed 293 points to close at a fresh all-time high, lifting the blue chip index to its best week since November, up 4.1%. The S&P 500 eked out a gain of 0.1%, bringing its weekly advance to 2.6% and ending at a new record level. Tech and growth-oriented shares were pressured by another rise in interest rates, with the Nasdaq Composite shedding 0.6%. Still, the tech-heavy benchmark snapped a three-week losing streak, rising 3.1%. The small-cap Russell 2000 index also finished at another all-time high, soaring 7.3% on the week. The volume totals on Friday were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 9-7 margin on the NYSE and by an 11-9 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 121 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, matching the total of 121 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals easily outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Technical strength shown by the Blue Chip index and the Small Cap index ended a brief "correction" and resumed the prior market uptrend (M criteria). Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions on case-by-case basis under the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a new record high with its 6th consecutive gain.
U.S. stocks finished mixed on Friday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq still posting their best week since early February. Wall Street cheered a finalized $1.9 trillion fiscal stimulus package, while President Biden stated that every U.S. adult would be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine by May.
Treasuries resumed their rout amid elevated expectations for a swift economic recovery and renewed inflation concerns. The yield on the 10-year note jumped 10 basis points to 1.62%, its highest closing level since January 2020. On the data front, producer prices increased 2.8% year-over-year in February, the fastest pace since October 2018. Separately, a preliminary report from the University of Michigan showed consumer sentiment improving more than expected this month, climbing to the highest level in a year. In commodities, WTI crude slipped 0.6% to $65.62/barrel, finishing lower for the first time in three weeks.
Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory. In earnings, Ulta Beauty slid 8.5% after cutting its 2021 comparable-store sales outlook. |

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.95%) and Bank Index ($BKX +1.74%) both had a positive influence on the major averages while the Retail Index ($RLX +0.05%) was virtually unchanged. The tech sector was mixed as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.07%) lost ground and the Biotech Index ($BTK -0.10%) finished flat while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.47%) eked out a modest gain. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.42%) edged higher while the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.01%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.13%) finished little changed on Friday.
PICTURED: The 2-year graph of the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.13%) shows it has recently been rebounding toward its January 2020 high.

Perched at Record High After 6 Consecutive Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Oppenheimer Holdings Inc (OPY +$0.23 or +0.54% to $43.19) hit another new all-time high with today's 6th consecutive gain. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks extended more than +5% above their pivot point.
OPY stubbornly held its ground and made progress since noted in the 2/05/21 mid-day report - "Reported Dec '20 quarterly earnings +235% on +43% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Showed strong earnings increases over the year ago period in the past 3 quarterly comparisons. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong after a downturn and losses in FY '15 & '16." It has the highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99.
The company hails from the FINANCIAL SERVICES - Investment Brokerage - Regional industry group which is now ranked 36th on the 197 Industry Groups list(L criteria). There is a small supply of only 9.2 million shares in the publicly traded float (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares reported fell from 214 in Jun '20 to 200 in Dec '20, however, its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days (I criteria).

G - Color code is changed to green after triggering a technical buy signal with a volume-driven gain and hitting a new 52-week high, closing above its "max buy" level with today's 4th consecutive gain. Its 50 DMA line ($44.38) and recent low define important near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

Y - Challenged its best-ever close and its 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive gain. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Found support at its 200 DMA line ($14.48) since noted with caution in the 10/22/20 mid-day report. Reported earnings +55% on +63% sales revenues for the Nov '20 quarter versus the year-ago period, its 3rd strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), helping it better match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines. This thinly traded Media - Books firm's annual earnings (A criteria) history has strong. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.

Y - Finished strong after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 1/14/21 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report. The big gain and strong close above its pivot point backed by +250% above average volume triggered a new technical buy signal as it hit a new 52-week high.
