Major Averages Ended Mixed as Tech Weakness Weighed on Nasdaq
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished mostly lower on Thursday. The Dow was up 68 points to 19191. The S&P 500 lost 7 points to 2191 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 72 points to 5251. Volume totals on Thursday were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. There were 73 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 74 on the prior session. New 52-week highs still solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose for a best-ever close. The Blue Chip Index is up +10.3% year-to-date.
The major averages (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend. New buying efforts should only be made in candidates with superior fundamental and technical characteristics. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.
The major averages fluctuated in a choppy trading session as Technology stocks declined and investors digested updates on the economy. On the data front, Markit’s survey of U.S. manufacturing expanded to 54.1 in November. In a separate release, ISM’s manufacturing index yielded a 53.2 reading last month. Finally, initial jobless claims came in at 268,000, above the expected 253,000. In M&A news, Clarcor (CLC +17.22%) was up after agreeing to a $4.3 billion takeover bid from Parker-Hannifin Corp (PH +3.27%).
Six of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory. Technology stocks retreated with Qualcomm (QCOM -5.83%) and Intel (INTC -2.71%) both sinking. In the consumer space, Dollar General (DG -4.97%) fell amid lower-than-expected earnings on slower consumer traffic. Shares of Express, Inc. (EXPR -20.36%) fell as the retailer lowered its forward revenue guidance. Energy stocks advanced as oil prices built on sharp gains from the previous session, lifting Chevron (CVX +1.55%) and Schlumberger (SLB +0.67%). In Financials, Bank of America (BAC +1.80%).
Treasuries declined with the benchmark 10-year note down 16/32 to yield 2.44%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude gained 2.7% to $50.79/barrel. In FOREX, the Dollar Index fell 0.5%. |

Pulling Back After "Breakaway Gap" With Heavy Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Berry Plastics Group Inc (BERY -$1.47 or -2.95% to $48.30) pulled back with above average volume for a 2nd consecutive session. Prior highs in the $46 area define important near-term support to watch. The high-ranked Containers/Packaging firm was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 10/25/16 high plus 10 cents in the 11/30/16 mid-day report (read here). There was a "breakaway gap" on 11/29/16 powering to new 52-week highs with considerable volume-driven gains. A breakaway gap is one noted exception to the rule that investors should not chase a stock more than +5% above prior highs, however, risk increases the further above the pivot point one buys any stock.
Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong. Big sales revenues and earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the past 4 quarterly comparisons through Sep '16 help make it a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 473 in Dec '15 to 563 in Sep '16, 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. It has a Timeliness Rating of A but a Sponsorship rating of D.

G - Hitting another new 52-week high today. Cleared its previously cited pivot point with +339% above average volume behind its gain on 11/28/16 triggering a technical buy signal. However, it was repeatedly noted with caution during its recent consolidation - "Reported earnings +10% on +6% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising concerns."
