New Lows List Expands as Major Averages Pull Back
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks slid lower on Wednesday. The Dow was off 55 points to 17702. The S&P 500 declined 6 points to 2075. The NASDAQ slid 16 points to 5067. Volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 9-5 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership expanded as there were 63 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from 32 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and again outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. There was only 1 gainer from the 11 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page, a disproportionately negative bias versus what was shown by the broader market.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is perched only -2.76% off its all-time high.

The major indices have established a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Coupled with a reassuring expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) big gains helped the S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite Index unanimously rally above their respective 200-day moving average lines. The market environment is technically in healthier shape. New buying efforts may be considered in stocks meeting all key criteria, and some new candidates have met the strict guidelines of the fact-based investment system in the recent recovery.

The major averages retreated mildly amid a slow day for market news. Banks and bonds were closed for the Veterans Day holiday while investor attention turned to China’s Singles’ Day online shopping event. In Federal Reserve news, San Francisco president Williams said in an interview today that he sees a very strong case for the Fed to raise rates at its December meeting.

In earnings news, Macy’s (M -13.99%) tumbled after cutting forward guidance. In M&A news, Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD +2.77%) after formally offering $107 billion to purchase rival SABMiller (SBMRY +1.90%). Shares of Alibaba (BABA -1.94%) fell amid Singles’ Day, the single largest online shopping day of the year.

Six out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished lower on the session. Utilities and telecom stocks paced the gains while falling oil prices led to underperformance in the energy sector.

Treasuries were flat as the bond market is closed for Veterans Day. In commodities, WTI crude dropped 2.6% on the NYMEX to $43.07/barrel. Gold lost 0.4% to $1084.00/ounce on the COMEX. In FOREX, the dollar index moved lower with weakness against the pound.

Gap Up Gain Getting More Extended From Prior Base
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Luxoft Holding Inc Cl A (LXFT +$4.91 or +6.98% to $75.21) posted a solid volume-driven gain today. It is very extended from the prior base after rallying above its "max buy" level, and its color code was changed to green. Disciplined investors avoid chasing extended stocks.

Continuing its strong earning track record, it reported Sep '15 earnings +45% on +29% sales revenues and raised guidance. Earnings +36% on +32% sales revenues for the Jun '15 quarter, so it has a strong quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) matching the guidelines of the fact-based investment system. Sales revenues growth has been strong while it reported earnings +32%, +23%, +50%, and +28% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '14 and Mar '15 quarters versus the year ago periods.

LXFT found prompt support after was last shown in this FSU section on 10/26/15 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Retreat Into Prior Base Following Latest Breakout". It was first highlighted in yellow with a pivot point cited based on its 4/23/15 high plus 10 cents in the 5/26/15 mid-day report (read here).

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 185 in Jun '14 to 291 in Sep '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has earned a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of C. Its small supply of only 30.6 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
