Major Averages' Recovery Rally Continues
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

For the week, the Dow was up 0.7%, the S&P 500 added 0.9% and the NASDAQ climbed 1.2%. Stocks finished higher on Friday. The Dow rose 74 points to 17215. The S&P 500 climbed 9 points to 2033. The NASDAQ gained 17 points to 4886. The volume totals were reported mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE, but decliners narrowly outnumbered advancers on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 39 stocks that made it onto the BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 28 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 4 of the 6 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page, a disproportionately positive bias versus the broader market.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied further above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and rose to finish Friday's session at a new recovery high. It is approaching near-term chart resistance at its July low and its 200 DMA line.

The S&P 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average both rallied to their highest closes of the ongoing recovery. The Nasdaq Composite Index joined them by also rallying above its 50 DMA line. 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". Additional 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 ended the session in positive territory to cap a third-straight weekly advance. In economic news, industrial production declined 0.2% in September, which was in line with expectations. A preliminary survey by the University of Michigan revealed consumer sentiment increased more than expected in October, citing higher projected wage growth.

On the earnings front, General Electric Co (GE +3.39%) rose as profits topped projections. Honeywell (HON -1.49%) fell after reducing its full-year sales guidance. Shares of Mattel (MAT +6.04%) climbed despite missing estimates on both the top and bottom line. Schlumberger (SLB -2.17%) was lower after providing a pessimistic forward outlook.

Nine of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. Consumer staples outperformed along with healthcare and financials. Industrials were the lone group lower on the session.

Treasuries were down with the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note off 4/32 to yield 2.03%. Commodities were mixed. NYMEX WTI crude finished 1.7% higher at $47.17/barrel. COMEX gold declined 0.7% to $1179.90/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar index advanced 0.3% with strength against the yen and euro.

Retail and Broker/Dealer Index Rose; Commodity-Linked Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.63%) helped the market's positive bias on Friday and financial shares were a positive influence on the major averages as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.82%) rose, but the Bank Index ($BKX -0.21%) edged lower. Commodity-linked groups endured pressure as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -3.34%) the Oil Services Index ($OSX -2.36%) both fell, meanwhile the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -+0.51%) edged higher. The tech sector was indecisive as the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.33%) edged lower and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.11%) and Networking Index ($NWX +0.31%) edged higher.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX +0.63%) is consolidating above its 50-day moving (DMA) line. It recently halted its slide above its 200 DMA line and August lows then rebounded.

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. Not long ago we 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.
