Major Indices Ended Mixed With Lighter Volume on Exchanges
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks finished mixed Thursday. The Dow added 10 points to 26191 while the S&P 500 was down 7 points to 2806. The Nasdaq Composite declined 39 points to 7530. The volume totals reported were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Decliners led advancers by a narrow 8-7 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 51 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 46 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows for a 2nd consecutive session on the NYSE, but new lows still outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange. Technically, the bullish action marked a shift in the market direction (M criteria), ending the latest correction, and moving back to a confirmed uptrend under the fact-based investment system. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index pulled back on Thursday. It and the other major indices posted gains of greater than +2% on Wednesday (Day 7) with higher volume on the exchanges coupled with a greater number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs. The solid follow-through day was noted as a reassuring sign, however, new buying efforts are only justified in stocks meeting all of the fundamental and technical criteria of the fact-based investment system.

The major averages were mixed as equity markets were unable to sustain the sharp rally from the prior session. Monetary policy garnered an outsized focus today as the Federal Reserve elected to keep the benchmark rate unchanged at the end of its two day FOMC meeting. In a prepared statement, the Fed indicated economic activity continues to grow at a strong pace but did note that business investment has cooled. On the data front, initial jobless claims came in at 214,000 in the most recent week.

Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished lower with Financials the notable outperformer. The Energy group declined 2.3% and weighed heavily on the major averages as crude oil prices have now fallen 21% from their 52-week high. The Communications group also underperformed as Facebook (FB -2.42%) and Alphabet (GOOGL -1.23%) both fell. The Technology sector provided a headwind to the market as Qualcomm (QCOM -8.16%) sank after the company revealed weaker than expected forward guidance.

Treasuries were weaker with the yield on the 10-year note up two basis points to 3.24%. In commodities, WTI crude dropped 1.8% to $60.57/barrel, and officially moved into “bear-market territory.” COMEX gold was off 0.4% to $1,224.40/ounce amid a stronger dollar.

Retail and Financial Groups Posted Small Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.21%) and Bank Index ($BKX +0.35%) posted small gains while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.09%) finished flat on Thursday.

The Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.80%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -3.63%) both were standout decliners. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.30%) also edged lower.

Volume Heavy Behind Rally to New High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Green Dot Corp Cl A (GDOT +$6.82 or +7.93% to $92.84) finished strong after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/14/18 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). The big gain with volume +213% above average and close above the pivot point clinched a technical buy signal. It hit a new all-time high with today's 3rd consecutive gain as it rallied straight up from the bottom of an 8-week base during which its 200-day moving average (DMA) line acted as support.

It reported earnings +74% on +14% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter versus the year ago period. Quarterly comparisons have shown strong earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) with strong sales revenues growth. Its small supply of only 52.6 million outstanding shares (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong after a small downturn in FY '15.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 455 in Dec '17 to 510 in Sep '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has earned a B Timeliness rating and a B Sponsorship Rating. The current Up/Down Volume ration of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days.
