Rebounding Indices Ended Mixed With Less Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished mixed on Tuesday. The Dow rose 13 points to 16790. The S&P 500 declined 7 points to 1979. The NASDAQ retreated 32 points to 4748. The volume totals were reported mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE, but slightly higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE but decliners led advancers by 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 23 stocks that made it onto the BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 35 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made a new 52-week high. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows led new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. There was a gain for only 1 of the 5 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index faces near-term resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and at a multi-month downward trendline. Its MACD indicator has turned bullish.
Solid follow-through gains for the major indices on Friday and Monday signaled a new confirmed uptrend (M criteria). However, all 3 major averages remain well below their 200-day moving average lines. Members have been repeatedly reminded in recent weeks that at least 2 of the 3 major indices should be trading above their respective 200-day moving average (DMA) lines in order for a market environment to be considered technically "healthy". A lot of recovery work must be done to get the indices back into healthy shape, and that improvement could require some considerable time and patience.
The major averages pared losses after the S&P 500 set a two-week high yesterday. Economic data today showed the trade deficit widened to $48.3 billion in August from $41.8 billion in July.
Six of 10 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory. Health care was off the most, resuming last week’s decline. Celgene (CELG -3.80%) and Biogen (BIIB -3.69%). In consumer stocks, the Container Store (TCS -18.63%) tumbled after missing on top and bottom lines, but PepsiCo (PEP +1.32%) rose after a positive quarterly profit tally. In tech, Skyworks Solutions (SWKS -1.42%) fell after agreeing to pay $2 billion in cash for PMC Sierra (PMCS +33.16%). However, Illumina (ILMN -10.64%) sank after lowering forward guidance. DuPont (DD +7.66%) lifted materials on the heels of a CEO change.
Treasuries gained, recouping some of Monday’s losses. The benchmark 10-year note advanced 7/32 to yield 2.03%.
Commodities were broadly higher. WTI crude added 5.2% to $48.69/barrel. COMEX gold was up 0.8% to $1146.80/ounce as the dollar weakened.

Commodity-Linked Groups Rose; Biotech, Retail, and Financials Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Commodity-linked groups were standout gainers on Tuesday as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +4.11%), Oil Services Index ($OSX +4.63%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +2.48%) each ratcheted higher for another day of big gains. The Retail Index ($RLX -1.07%) was a negative influence on the major averages along with financial shares as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.16%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.32%) both fell. The Biotechnology Index ($BTK -4.81%) ended considerably lower, meanwhile the Networking Index ($NWX -0.24%) edged lower and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.34%) edged higher.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Biotechnology Index ($BTK -4.81%) undercut prior lows with a big loss. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line recently crossed below its 200 DMA line, an ominously bearish sign.

Help Available For You in Making Fact-Based Buy/Sell Decisions With Greater Success
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
You want to get above average results, and market conditions (the M criteria) are challenging at times. Proper discipline and patience are paramount. There are few stocks included on the Featured Stocks list now and none of the companies need additional review. At times like these we have an opportunity to look back and review. We recently reviewed Ambarella (AMBA) on 9/03/15 and Skyworks (SWKS) on 9/17/15 because previously featured stocks which were dropped can serve as educational examples of the investment system's tactics. It is also a reminder that high-ranked leaders eventually fall out of favor. If you wish to request for a specific stock to receive more detailed coverage in this section please use the inquiry form to submit your request. Thank you! |
