Tech Strength Helps Nasdaq Lead as Major Indices Ended Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished mostly lower on Tuesday. The Dow was down 36 points to 20975. The S&P 500 lost 2 points to 2396 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 17 points to 6120. The volume totals reported were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly negative as decliners led advancers by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE while the mix was nearly even on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 63 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 61 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index touched a new record high but reversed and closed the session in the red.
The major averages' (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend, and there has remains a healthy level of market leadership (number of high-ranked stocks hitting new highs). New buying efforts should be made only in stocks matching all of the fundamental and technical criteria of the fact-based investment system. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.
The major averages fluctuated on the session Tuesday as first-quarter earnings season nears its end. The post-election trend of rising equities attempted to regain momentum as most companies have reported better-than-expected quarterly results. Overall, an impressive 65% of reporting companies in the S&P 500 have topped revenue projections, while 78% have cleared expectations on the bottom line. On the data front, a Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey revealed job openings increased to 5.7 million in March.
Seven of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 ended in negative territory. Energy shares underperformed with ConocoPhillips (COP -1.82%) down. Health Care stocks fluctuated with Allergan (AGN -1.42%) edging lower. Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX +24.10%) rallied as the Canadian drugmaker reported a profit for its latest quarter, compared to a year-ago loss. In the consumer space, Discovery Communications (DISCA -2.17%) fell as quarterly revenue came in below Street forecasts. Hertz Global (HTZ -14.15%) fell after posting a wider-than-expected quarterly loss. Marriott International (MAR +6.36%) rose as the hotel operator saw increased occupancy year-over-year.
Treasuries declined with the benchmark 10-year note down 3/32 to yield 2.40%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude lost 0.8% to $46.03/barrel. In FOREX, the Dollar Index gained 0.5%. |

Hovering Near Record High, Extended From Prior Base
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Momo Inc Ads (MOMO +$0.01 or +0.01% to $38.58) is hovering near its all-time high, stubbornly holding its ground. Its 50-day moving average DMA line ($34.78) defines important near-term support to watch. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks extended more than +5% from a sound base pattern.
MOMO was last shown in this FSU section on 4/06/17 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Extended From Prior Base and Perched Near High". It was first highlighted in yellow in the 3/07/17 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 2/21/17 high after a cup-with-handle base.
Greatly improved sales and earnings in the Dec '16 quarter marked its 3rd consecutive comparison with very strong results versus the year ago periods. Limited history remains of some concern for this Chinese Internet - Content firm that completed its $14 IPO in Dec '14.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 39 in Mar '16 to 114 in Mar '17, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.0 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a small supply (S criteria) of only 42.8 million shares in the public float.

Y - Consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($23.81). Recent gains above the pivot point lacked the above average volume needed to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Recent low ($21.89 on 3/22/17) defines important support where violations would raise more serious concerns and trigger worrisome technical sell signals.

G - Hitting yet another new all-time high today. Prior highs in the $64 area and its 50 DMA line define near term support to watch.

The Sep and Dec '16 earnings were below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), and its waning sales revenues growth rate was also noted recently as a fundamental concern.
