Major Indices Rallied in Response to Easing Geopolitical Tensions
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks finished higher Monday. The Dow added 287 points to 25826 while the S&P 500 advanced 30 points to 2790. The Nasdaq Composite gained 110 points to 7441. The volume totals on the session were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 49 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 30 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Technically, the +1.5% gain for the Nasdaq Composite Index marked a follow-through day confirming a new rally for the major indices (M criteria). New buying efforts are justified under the fact-based investment system's rules only in stocks meeting all of the key fundamental and technical criteria. 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.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index rose +1.51% on Monday with a gain on higher volume marking Day 6 of the new rally attempt. Disciplined investors may recognize the bullish action between Day 4 and Day 7 of the rally attempt as a follow-through day of big gains (+1% or more) from at least one major average, with higher volume, and coupled with a leadership expansion.

The major averages climbed as easing geopolitical tensions provided a boost to investor sentiment. Over the weekend, U.S. President Trump and Chinese Premier Xi agreed to hold off on any additional tariffs for 90-days as they work to secure a new trade agreement. On the data front, an update from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) revealed manufacturing activity accelerated more than expected in November. Meanwhile, construction spending unexpectedly decreased month-over-month in October, for its third consecutive decline.

President Trump declared Wednesday a national day of mourning for former President George Herbert Walker Bush, who died Friday at the age of 94. The companies that run the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market both said their markets would be closed on Wednesday.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory with Energy and Consumer Discretionary stocks pacing gains. Shares of Exxon Mobil (XOM +2.18%) and Amazon (AMZN +4.86%) rose. The Technology and Industrial groups also outperformed with Apple (AAPL +3.49%) and Caterpillar (CAT +2.42%) rising. Consumer Staples was the lone laggard with PepsiCo (PEP -2.43%) down. In M&A news, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK -7.79%) fell after announcing it reached a deal to acquire biotech company Tesaro (TSRO +58.47%) for $5.1 billion.

Treasuries were mixed along the curve with the yield on the 10-year note down three basis points to 2.98%. In commodities, WTI crude added 4.4% to $53.15/barrel. COMEX gold gained 0.8% to $1,229.70/ounce amid a weaker dollar.

Perched Within Striking Distance of All Time High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Miller Industries Inc (MLR +$0.68 or +2.42% to $28.74) posted a gain today on lighter (but above average) volume. It encountered distributional pressure and finished lower after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 8/10/18 high plus 10 cents in the 11/30/18 mid-day report (read here). It faces very little resistance due to overhead supply up to the $29 level. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a technical buy signal.

Reported earnings +95% on +28% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter. Recent quarterly comparisons have been above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) and, sequentially, showed encouraging sales revenues acceleration. Annual earnings history (A criteria) has also been good. Very small supply of only 11.4 million shares outstanding (A 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 196 in Mar '18 to 216 in Sep '18, a reassuring sign. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has earned an A Timeliness rating and a B Sponsorship Rating.
