Less Leadership as Major Indices Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished lower on Thursday. The Dow was down 46 points to 18479. The S&P 500 lost 4 points to 2181 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 24 points to 5259. The volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners narrowly led advancers on the NYSE while the mix was even on the Nasdaq exchange. There was less leadership as 39 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 71 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals continued contracting yet still solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating near important near-term support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
The "confirmed uptrend" for the market (M criteria) endured some distributional pressure, however the Dow Jones Industrial Average found support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. A healthy crop of leading stocks remains hitting new 52-week highs. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy candidates that have made headway.
The Nasdaq snapped its four-day winning streak as investors digested the European Central Bank’s decision to leave interest rates and its stimulus program unchanged. In prepared remarks, President Mario Draghi said the ECB didn’t discuss an extension to its bond-buying program, which sent European shares mostly lower on the session. On the domestic front, initial jobless claims came in at 259,000, below the reported 263,000 in the previous week.
Seven of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory. Tech shares lagged as Apple (AAPL -2.62%) was lower following yesterday’s iPhone 7 product launch. Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE -3.21%) fell as the computer products maker reported lower-than-expected quarterly revenue. In the consumer space, Tractor Supply (TSCO -16.94%) fell after the company cut its full-year guidance. Energy shares outperformed on the session as crude surged over 4%. Oil producer Petrobras (PBR +3.04%) rose after being the subject of positive analyst commentary.
Treasuries declined along the curve with the benchmark 10-year note down 20/32 to yield 1.60%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude rallied 4.3% to $47.46/barrel, after the weekly EIA report showed crude inventories fell by 14.5 million barrels last week. In FOREX, the dollar gained 0.8% against the yen. |

Pullback Testing Important Near-Term Support Level
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Fortune Brands Home & Security Inc's (FBHS -$0.59 or -0.94% to $61.93) recent weakness has it testing its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($61.97) and prior lows ($61.91 on 8/17/16) defining important near-term support. More damaging losses and violations may raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals, meanwhile it may be building a new base. However, it has seen its Relative Strength Rating slump to 71, well below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates under the fact-based investment system.
It was last shown in this FSU section on 8/01/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Perched Above 'Max Buy' Level Following Volume-Driven Gain". Volume was +66% above average on 7/28/16 triggering a technical buy signal while hitting new highs after gapping up. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks more than +5% above prior highs.
It reported earnings +39% on +11% sales revenues for the Jun '16 quarter. The high-ranked Building - Construction Products firm showed encouraging earnings acceleration in sequential quarters, up +16%, +23%, +27% and +39% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '15 and Mar '16 quarters, respectively. The larger than +25% increases (C criteria) helped it better match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.
FBHS currently has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. It was first highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/21/16 high plus 10 cents. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 805 in Sep '15 to 1,003 in Jun '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 7/28/16 high plus 10 cents. Volume-driven gains for new highs may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal, meanwhile, it is quietly consolidating above the 50 DMA line ($63.84) which has acted as support in recent weeks. Subsequent losses leading to a violation may trigger a technical sell signal.
