Breadth Negative as Major Averages Finished Mixed and Little Changed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished mixed on Tuesday. The Dow eked out a 22 point gain to 17251. The S&P 500 lost 3 points to 2015. The NASDAQ fell 21 points at 4728. Volume was reported lighter on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners beat advancers by 3-1 on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership waned as there were 12 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from the total of 17 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange.PICTURED: The Index is rising toward its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. Friday's gains helped the DOW and the S&P 500 Index both rally above their downward sloping 200-day moving average lines. The improvement for the major averages (M criteria) was backed by an expansion in healthy leadership (new highs), another encouraging sign for the current confirmed rally. 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. The major averages fluctuated as commodity prices capped their sharpest two-session slide in more than a month and the Federal Reserve began its March policy meeting. On the data front, retail sales ticked down 0.1% in February. While the contraction was less than the expected 0.2%, January’s previously reported 0.2% increase was revised to show a 0.4% decline. Six out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished lower on the day with Healthcare and Materials shares leading the losses. Mallinckrodt (MNK -14.51%) fell as pharmaceutical companies pushed the Healthcare sector lower. Tech stocks outperformed as Apple (AAPL +2.01%) rose for its fifth-straight daily advance. In earnings, shares of embattled drug maker Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX -51.46%) tumbled after missing profit expectations and lowering forward guidance. Mead Johnson (MJN +11.06%) rose on news the company is exploring possible takeover interest from rivals Nestle and Danone. Treasuries were mostly lower with the yield curve flattening. The benchmark 10-year note fell 2/32 to yield 1.97%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude declined 2% to $36.43/barrel. COMEX gold was down 0.9% to $1234.50/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar slid lower against the yen but gained on emerging currencies |

Consolidating Above Near Term Support
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Sanfilippo John B & Son (JBSS -$1.26 or -1.84% to $67.25) encountered distributional pressure last week while consolidating above prior highs and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defining important near-term support. It was last shown in this FSU section with an annotated graph on 2/22/16 under the headline, "Volume-Driven Gain For New High Close", posting gains backed by +48% above average volume triggering a technical buy signal. Prior highs define initial support to watch on pullbacks. 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. 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 263 in Sep '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
