Major Indices Were Mixed as Tech-Heavy Nasdaq Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow added 194 points, while the Nasdaq Composite declined 1.6%. The S&P 500 lost 0.6%. The volume totals reported were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE but decliners led advancers by a 5-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 45 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 44 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The recent follow-through day helped establish a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Healthy leadership (new 52-week highs totals) will be essential in the near-term for the rally to be productive. Only stocks meeting all key-criteria of the fact-based investment system should be considered as buy candidates.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index pulled back with lighter volume for a 2nd consecutive loss, still sputtering below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
U.S. equities closed mixed Thursday after technology firms’ earnings continued to fall short of analyst’s expectations. Five of the 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with Communication Services leading laggards. Facebook operator Meta Platforms Inc (META -24.56%) gapped down after reporting Sep '22 quarterly earnings -49% on -4% sales revenues versus the year ago period.
In earnings news, Apple Inc (AAPL -3.05%) was set to release earnings after the bell as analysts expect record revenue and slowing product demand. Amazon.com Inc (AMZN -4.06%) was also set to report earnings after the close with forecasts of a $2.2 billion profit, marking a 32% decline from the previous year. In other news, Twitter Inc (TWTR +0.66%) will suspend trading its shares on Friday as Elon Musk faces a court-ordered October 28 deadline to close the $44 billion deal.
Treasury yields declined after the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reading came in above forecasts at 2.6% in the third quarter following two consecutive quarters of contraction. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note lost eleven basis points (0.11%) to 3.90%, while the 30-year bond yield decreased nine basis points (0.09%) to 4.06%. The more policy-sensitive two-year note yield fell thirteen basis points (0.13%) to 4.29%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude extended Wednesday’s rally and surged 1.25% to $89.01/barrel as demand appears strong. Meanwhile, the U.S. and Western officials continue finalizing their plans to impose a price cap on Russian oil with price expectations around historical averages of $63-64/barrel. This price from the Biden Administration is seen to cut revenues from Russia while Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen sees this as an incentive for Russia to keep producing oil. Finalized numbers are set to be released on December 5. |

The tech sector saw losses from the Biotech Index ($BTK -1.87%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.50%) while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.24%) eked out a small gain. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.37%) lost ground and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.28%) edged lower while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.40%) posted a modest gain.
PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.52%) has been rebounding above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines toward prior highs. The improvement is a reassuring sign because the financial indexes have been reliable leading indicators.

Clearfield Perched -8.6% Off High After Recent Rebound
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Clearfield Inc (CLFD ) paused today after rallying toward its 52-week high with 4 consecutive gains. A new pivot point was cited based on its 8/25/22 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Keep in mid it is due to report Sep '22 quarterly results on 11/04/22. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.
CLFD showed resilience since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/01/22. It slumped below its 50-day moving average and sputtered below it for several weeks since last shown in this FSU section on 8/17/22 with an annotated graph under the headline "Clearfield Showed Resilience After Considerable Rally".
CLFD has the highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. Fundamentals have been strong. It reported Jun '22 quarterly earnings +109% on +84% sales revenues above the year ago period. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong after a downturn in FY '17.
The TELECOMMUNICATIONS - Fiber Optics group is currently ranked 21st on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria). There are only 13.8 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which 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 132 in Jun '20 to 303 in Sep '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been near neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days. Its Accumulation/Distribution Rating is B+, Timeliness Rating is A, and its Sponsorship Rating is B.
