Leadership Improved as Major Averages Tallied Solid Weekly Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the week, the Dow gained 3.7%, the S&P 500 climbed 3.3% and the NASDAQ added 2.6%. Stocks finished higher on Friday. The Dow rose 33 points to 17084. The S&P 500 advanced 1 point to 2014. The NASDAQ climbed 19 points to 4830. The volume totals were reported mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by 5-4 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 49 stocks that made it onto the BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 41 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 and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 5 of the 6 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite index has rebounded near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which previously acted as resistance.
The S&P 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average both found support above their August lows and have already rebounded above their respective 50 DMA lines. Solid follow-through gains for the major indices established 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 eked out gains as the S&P 500 concluded its best week
of performance this year. Economic data showed import prices fell less than
projected in September, while wholesale prices in August unexpectedly rose.
Six of 10 S&P 500 sectors were in positive territory as tech and health
care led the way. Apple (AAPL +2.39%) rose after forging new Apple Pay
alliances with retailers. Eli Lilly (LLY +2.83%) lifted health stocks after positive analyst commentary. In industrials, United Continental (UAL +6.60%) after raising forward guidance. Materials were flat
as a gain by International Paper (IP +5.21%) was offset by a decline in Alcoa (AA -6.81%) after it missed earnings and revenue estimates. Bearish analyst
commentary left Tesla (TSLA 2.66%) lower, and The Gap (GPS -5.28%) fell on
the heels of lowered forward guidance. Despite workforce cuts, Chevron (CVX -
0.38%) edged lower.
Treasuries were little changed with the benchmark 10-year note up 2/32 to
yield 2.10%.
Commodities were mostly higher. WTI crude extended gains but finished off
session highs as it rose 0.3% to $49.56/barrel. COMEX gold advanced 1.1% to
$1157.10/ounce amid dollar weakness and higher-than-expected inflation data.

Gold & Silver, Retail, and Biotech Indexes Posted Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +4.45%) was a standout gainer on Friday. The Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.04%) finished flat and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.87%) was lower after recent big gains. The Retail Index ($RLX +0.34%) edged higher while the Bank Index ($BKX -0.94%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.19%) were both negative influences on the major averages. The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.41%) rose while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.55%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.84%) both lost ground
PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +4.45%) is rallying above prior highs toward its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and previous lows. Many stocks in the gold-silver mining industry face resistance due to considerable overhead supply created in recent years.

Met Some Resistance After Touching a New 52-Week High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Blackhawk Network Inc (HAWK +$0.43 or +0.94% to $45.94) was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on the 8/03/15 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Today it hit a new 52-week high but encountered distributional pressure and finished in the lower half of its intra-day range. A subsequent volume driven gain and strong close above the pivot are still needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal.
It found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and recently rebounded through resistance due to overhead supply. It reported earnings +36% on +31% sales revenues for the Jun '15 quarter, its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), helping it better match the winning models of the fact-based investment system.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 205 in Dec '14 to 294 in Sep '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Currently the Finance - Credit Card/Payment Processing firm has a Timeliness rating of A and a Sponsorship rating of C. The small supply of only 53.5 million shares (S criteria) in the pubic float can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

G - Small loss today following a streak of 8 gains for new highs. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. The "V" shaped consolidation over the past 10 weeks is not recognized as a sound base.
