Major Indices Finished Week With Better Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow added 199 points, though finished the week little changed. The Nasdaq Composite traded just above the flat line and shed 1.6% for the week. The S&P 500 added 0.5%, but notched a 0.7% weekly decline. The volume totals reported were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by a narrower margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 24 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 8 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows still outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The market is in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Healthy leadership (new 52-week highs totals) has continued to help the rally 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a gain while perched near its August high. Of the 3 major indices only the Dow is in "healthy shape" above its 200 DMA line.
U.S. equities finished higher Friday, but ended lower for the week, as investors digested this week’s mixed retail earnings reports and a slew of commentary from Federal Reserve (Fed) officials. Today, Boston Fed President Susan Collins said she believed the central bank could curb inflation without hurting the economy too much. Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished today in positive territory, with Utilities pacing gains.
On the data front today, existing home sales fell 5.9% in October, its ninth-straight month of declines, as high mortgage rates weigh on demand. Elsewhere, the Conference Board Leading Economic Index (a metric used to forecast future economic activity based on ten key variables) fell more than expected in October, signaling a potential recession.
Treasuries weakened following the hawkish commentary from Fed officials. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note climbed six basis points (0.06%) to 3.82%, while the 30-year bond yield advanced five basis points (0.05%) to 3.92%. The Fed-sensitive two-year note yield increased eight basis points (0.08%) to 4.53%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 1.7% to $80.27/barrel amid continued concerns over global demand and uncertainty over the future course of interest rate hikes by the Fed. The domestic benchmark shed 9.9% this week to notch its second-straight week of declines. |

Gapped Up and Rebounded Above Pivot Point
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
C B I Z Inc (CBZ +$0.76 or +1.58% to $48.74) gapped up today for a small gain with light volume yet rebounded above its pivot point. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($45.85) and recent low define important near-term support. Recently reported Sep '22 quarterly earnings +24% on +28% sales revenues versus the year ago period.
CBZ was highlighted in yellow in the 1`0/26/22 mid-day report and last shown in greater detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Earnings Report Due for Commercial Services and Consulting Firm." The company has a 95 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported earnings +26% on +30% sales revenues for the Jun '22 quarter versus the year ago period, its 2nd strong quarter above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 361 in Dec '21 to 376 in Sep '22. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight distributional pressure over the past 50 days. There are only 50.8 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. It has an A Timeliness Rating and a B Sponsorship Rating.

Y - Hitting a new 52-weeek high and rallying above the pivot point with today's big volume-driven gain. On the prior session it briefly undercut its 50 DMA line ($31.48) which defines important near-term support. Reported Sep '22 quarterly earnings +230% versus the year ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. A gain and strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal.
