Major Averages Erased Modest Gains and Ended Slightly Lower
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks retreated mildly on Monday. The Dow was off 31 points to 17792. The S&P 500 lost 2 points to 2086. The NASDAQ declined 2 points to 5102. Volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 5-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange and by an even narrower margin on the NYSE. There were 62 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from 64 on the prior session. There were gains for 9 of the 11 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page. New 52-week lows still outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is consolidating -2.5% off its all-time high, above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and 50 DMA lines.
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 after posting their best gains of the year last
week. In economic news, preliminary manufacturing data showed a
steeper-than-expected decline in November. A separate report showed existing
home sales fell by 3.4% in October versus an expected 2.7% decrease. A low
supply in houses on the market was cited for the shortfall.
In M&A, Pfizer (PFE -2.64%) after coming to terms on a takeover
deal with Allergan (AGN -3.44%). In earnings, GameStop (GME -4.20%) fell as its
quarterly results fell short of consensus estimates. Tyson Foods (TSN +10.17%)
rose after posting better-than-expected revenue numbers. Mallinckrodt (MNK
+8.36%) after strong beats on both the top and bottom line.
Six out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 traded lower on the session.
Consumer staples and energy shares outperformed while utilities sold off.
Treasuries were little changed with the benchmark 10-year note adding 3/32 to
yield 2.25%. WTI crude was off 0.1% to $41.85/barrel despite the Saudi
government pledging to work with other oil producers to stabilize prices. In the
metals complex, copper and nickel prices fell to six and ten year lows,
respectively. In Forex, the dollar was modestly higher. The Featured Stocks Page saw some new names recently added.

Volume-Driven Gain For Second Best Close
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stamps.Com Inc (STMP +$3.14 or +3.18% to $101.85) rose today with above average volume for its best close since its big "breakaway gap" on 10/28/15. Disciplined investors avoid chasing extended stocks. It has been consolidating since last shown in this FSU section with an annotated graph on 11/06/15 under the headline, "Big Breakaway Gap With Heavy Volume Following Earnings News". It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 8/19/15 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Nearly 8 times average volume was behind its considerable "breakaway gap". Breakaway gaps are one noted exception where chasing a stock more than +5% above prior highs is permitted under the fact-based investment system guidelines, but risk increases the further above prior highs one makes any purchases. Bullish action came after it reported earnings +61% on +37% sales revenues for the Sep '15 quarter, well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), continuing its strong earnings history matching the fact-based investment system's winning models. Earnings rose +44%, +76%, and 61% in the Mar, Jun, and Sep '15 quarters, respectively, versus the year ago periods. Sales revenues rose +32%, +41%, and +37% during that same span. It has earned an Earnings Per Share Rating of 99, putting it in the top 1% of all publicly traded stocks based on its earnings history over the past 5 years. The Retail - Internet firm has other strong leaders in the group confirming the L criteria, as the group has an A+ Group Relative Strength Rating. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has shown strong and steady increases since FY '09 following a couple of flat years. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 232 in Dec '14 to 309 in Sep '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of only 16.5 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
