Indices Pulled Back With Lighter Volume on the Exchanges
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished lower Thursday. The Dow lost 27 points to 25,338, ending its three-day winning streak. The S&P 500 slipped 5 points to 2,737 while the Nasdaq Composite declined 18 points to 7,273. The volume totals session were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth had a slightly negative bias as decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 28 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 23 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals again solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Technically, the major indices (M criteria) are still in a correction. Disciplined investors will remain patient and watch for a convincing follow-through day to confirm a new rally before any new buying efforts are justified under the fact-based investment system's rules. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders. Strict buying and selling rules should always be followed on a case by case basis. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average pulled back on Thursday marking Day 4 of the new rally attempt. Disciplined investors will watch on Day 4 to Day 7 of the rally attempt for a confirming follow-through day of subsequent big gains from at least one major average, with higher volume, and coupled with a leadership expansion. Recently it sputtered yet stayed above the October low. However, its 50-day moving average (DMA) line is about to converge with its 200 DMA line, an ominous bearish signal which has been termed a "death cross" by technical analysts.
The major averages recovered from early session lows and finished little changed as investors await further trade updates. A report from the Wall Street Journal revealed the U.S. and China have agreed to suspend additional tariffs as both sides work to secure a new trade pact. On the data front, Core Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index (the Fed’s preferred gauge of inflation) climbed 1.8% year-over-year in October, the slowest rate in eight months. Additional reports showed personal income and personal spending both advanced more than expected last month. An update on the housing market revealed pending home sales fell for the tenth consecutive month in October.
The Tech sector weighed on the major averages as Intel (INTC -2.4%) and IBM (IBM -1.2%). The Financials and Consumer Discretionary groups also underperformed. Healthcare stocks outperformed as shares of Pfizer (PFE +1.4%) rose. Meanwhile, Energy shares rebounded from recent weakness as NYMEX WTI crude added +2.3% to $51.44/barrel.
Treasuries were stronger as the yield on the 10-year note slipped four basis points to 3.02%, after dipping below 3% in overnight trading for the first time since September. In commodities, COMEX gold was essentially unchanged at $1223.80/ounce despite a weaker dollar. |

Energy Linked Group Rose Amid Widespread Weakness
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.50%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.85%) lost ground along with the Retail Index ($RLX -0.45%). The tech sector also had a negative bias as the Biotech Index ($BTK -0.66%), Networking Index ($NWX -0.76%), and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.81%) posted unanimous losses. Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.11%) fell while the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.11%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.51%) both edged higher.
Charts courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
 PICTURED: The Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.11%) is well below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines and recently slumped below its August 2017 low.

Fitness Firm Perched Near All-Time High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Planet Fitness Inc Cl A (PLNT -$0.77 or -1.36% to $55.98) is perched near its all-time high. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and recent low ($48.02 on 11/20/18) define important near-term support to watch on pullbacks. It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/26/18 high plus 10 cents in the 11/07/18 mid-day report (read here). Big Gain for New High With Nearly 4 Times Average Volume - 11/7/2018
Bullish action came after it reported earnings +47% on +40% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter, marking a 3rd consecutive quarterly earnings comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Recent comparisons showed impressive sales revenues acceleration. Annual earnings (A criteria) history included a small downturn in FY '15 but has been strong since. Completed its Aug 2015 IPO at $14.06 and completed Secondary Offerings on 6/22/16, 9/26/16, 3/10/17 and 5/08/17.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 373 in Dec '17 to 494 in Sep '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has earned a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of B. Its small supply of 80.2 million shares in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

G - Sputtering above the recent low ($20.25 on 10/26/18) previously noted as important near-term support. A rebound above the 50 DMA line ($22.10) is needed for its outlook to improve. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal.

Y - There was a "negative reversal" on the prior session after hitting a new high, action indicative of distributional pressure. Highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/12/18 high plus 10 cents in the 11/23/18 mid-day report (read here) and repeatedly noted - "A gain and strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may clinch a technical buy signal. However, new buying efforts in all stocks are discouraged under the fact-based investment system until a new confirmed market rally (M criteria) is noted. Earnings increases in quarterly comparisons through Sep '18 have been above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been good after turning a profitable FY '15. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph."
