Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow added 37 points, marking its eighth straight advance and ending the week 1.6% higher. The S&P 500 dipped 0.1%, despite gaining 1% this week. The Nasdaq Composite lost 2% amid weakness in Tech shares, but managed to advance 0.9% on the week. Friday's volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by an 8-7 margin on the Nasdaq exchange, but decliners outnumbered advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE. Leadership remained healthy as there were 50 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 52 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Concerning the M criteria of the fact-based investment system, investors have a green light to make carefully selected new buying efforts. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched only -0.7% off its record high. It found support near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line during the recent consolidation.

Stock U.S. equities were mixed Friday as investors weighed trade developments and economic data releases. A report from China revealed Beijing officials will exempt U.S. agricultural products from the latest round of tariffs. The move was in response to President Trump’s decision to delay an increase in duties on Chinese goods by two weeks. The White House also indicated a willingness to accept a short term trade deal as the two countries continue to sort through “structural issues” that are impeding a broader pact at this time.

On the data front, retail sales climbed 0.4% in August, topping expectations of 0.2%. A preliminary gauge of consumer sentiment from the University of Michigan came in at 92.0, above consensus estimates of 90.8. Treasuries weakened with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note jumping 12 basis point to 1.90%. In commodities, WTI crude ticked down 0.4% to $54.85/barrel.

Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished lower with Consumer Staples and Technology shares leading decliners. Broadcom (AVGO -3.41%) fell after the semiconductor offered uneasy guidance on future chip demand. Apple (AAPL -1.94%) fell following an analyst price target decrease. Elsewhere, PG&E (PCG +10.69%) rose after reaching an $11 billion dollar settlement to resolve 85% of insurance claims that resulted from wildfires.

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Bank Index ($BKX +1.19%) posted another solid gain while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.10%) and the Retail Index ($RLX -0.03%) both were little changed on Friday. The tech sector had a negative bias as the Networking Index ($NWX -1.27%) outpaced the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.32%) to the downside while the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.22%) posted a small gain. Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.17%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.47%) rose but the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.75%) lost ground.

Thinly Traded Bank Rallied To Multi-Year Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Capital City Bk Gp (CCBG -0.02 or -0.07% to $26.83 ) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/03/18 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). This thinly traded Bank is perched at a new multi-year high after a streak of volume-driven gains this week. Subsequent confirming gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a convincing technical buy signal.

Earnings increases in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Jun '19 were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) as its sales revenues growth rate was in the 12-13% range in the Dec '18, Mar and Jun '19 quarters versus the year ago periods. It has a Timeliness Rating of A, but a Sponsorship Rating of D

Its small supply of only 16.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 159 on Sep '18 to 187 in Jun '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
