Volume Quiet as Indices Finished Little Changed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished little changed on Thursday. The Dow was off 4 points to 17732. The S&P 500 ebbed 2 points to 2081. The NASDAQ lost 1 point to 5073. Volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers narrowly led decliners on the NYSE while decliners led advancers by a 5-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 48 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from 43 on the prior session. However, new 52-week lows still outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. There were gains for only 3 of the 11 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is trading above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and well above its 50 DMA line.
All three major averages (M criteria) showed impressive strength and rebounded above their respective 200 DMA lines while leadership (stocks hitting new highs) improved. New buying efforts may only be considered in stocks meeting all key criteria.The major averages fluctuated amid mixed earnings reports. In economic news,
271,000 Americans filed initial jobless claims last week, which was in line with
expectations. A gauge of leading indicators grew 0.6% in October, the largest
increase in four months.
On the earnings front, UnitedHealth Group (UNH -5.65%) fell after the
insurer cut its guidance for the year and hinted that it may not participate in
the health exchanges stipulated by the affordable care act. Best Buy (BBY -
2.11%) pulled back after beating profit expectations but missing projections on
same-store sales. Salesforce.com (CRM +4.25%) rallied after beating on both
the top and bottom line.
Seven out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 advanced on Thursday. Telecom and
utilities stocks paced the gains while energy and healthcare shares
underperformed.
Treasuries finished mostly higher with the curve flattening. The Benchmark
U.S. 10-year note was up 9/32 to yield 2.24%. In commodities, WTI crude slid
0.7% to $40.45/barrel on the NYMEX. Gold added 1.5% to $1081.40/ounce on the
COMEX. In FOREX, the dollar experienced its worst session in a month with losses
against all major peers. The Featured Stocks Page saw some new names recently added.

Extended From Prior Base and Perched Near High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Simmons First Natl Cp (SFNC -$0.51 or -0.90% to $55.86) is extended from its prior base. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and prior highs in the $48 area define support to watch on pullbacks. Disciplined investors avoid chasing extended stocks more than +5% above their prior highs or pivot point. SFNC was last shown in this FSU section on 11/03/15 with an annotated graph under the headline, " Slightly Extended From Prior Base After Breakout". It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/17/15 high plus 10 cents in the 10/22/15 mid-day report (read here). Simmons hails from the Banks - Southeast industry group, a leading group which currently has a 99 Group Relative Strength rating (good L criteria). The banking firm reported earnings +35% on +77% sales revenues for the Sep '15 quarter, and prior quarterly comparisons had earnings strong and steady above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been improving after a downturn in FY '10 and '11. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 228 in Dec '14 to 265 in Sep '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. However, its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 suggests that it has encountered mild distributional pressure over the past 50 days. Its small supply of only 28.7 millions shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying and selling.
