Major Indexes Ended Mixed With Nasdaq Leading its Peers
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow declined 102 points, while the S&P 500 lost less than 0.1%. The Nasdaq Composite gained 0.2% to close at a record high. Decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the NYSE while advancers led decliners by almost 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on both major exchanges. There were 62 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 73 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in a "confirmed uptrend" after enduring distributional pressure in recent weeks. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index hit another new record high.

Stocks finished mixed Tuesday as investors digested earnings reports and awaited further developments on the U.S.-China trade front. On the data front, housing starts rose 3.8% in October, while building permits jumped to a 12-year high in the same period. Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year note down three basis points to 1.78%.

Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended the session in negative territory. Energy stocks led decliners as WTI crude lost 3.2% amid oversupply fears. Meanwhile, disappointing earnings reports from retailers contributed to the Dow’s underperformance. Home Depot (HD -5.44%) fell after the home improvement giant cut its annual growth outlook for the second time this year, and posted sales short of analyst estimates. Shares of Kohl’s (KSS -19.49%) fell after the department store disappointed on both the top and bottom line, and missed same-store sales estimates. Software company ServiceNow (NOW +4.29%) rose after replacing Celgene (CELG -1.09%) in the S&P 500. Boeing (BA -0.67%) fell despite news the jet maker received orders for 50 of its embattled 737 MAX planes.

Market participants also kept tabs on trade news amid a statement from President Trump that he will impose higher tariffs if a deal is not reached. However, sentiment was buoyed after the White House issued another 90-day license extension to allow American companies to continue conducting business with Chinese Tech giant Huawei.

Consolidating After Volume-Driven Gains for New Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Capital City Bk Gp (CCBG $29.45) is still hovering near its 52-week high. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($27.87) defines important support to watch along with prior highs.

CCBG was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/03/18 high plus 10 cents in the 9/13/19 mid-day report (read here). It rallied for new 52-week highs with 3 consecutive solid volume-driven gains after it was last shown in this FSU section on 10/31/19 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Noted 'Positive Reversal' on Volatile Session After Earnings".

Earnings increases in the 4 latest quarterly comparisons through Sep '19 were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) as its sales revenues growth rate was in the 9-13% range versus the year ago periods. It has a Timeliness Rating of A, but a Sponsorship Rating of E.

Its small supply of only 16.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria) 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 159 on Sep '18 to 185 in Sep '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
