Breadth Positive as Major Averages Extend Rally
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished higher on Monday. The Dow was up 45 points to 19216. The S&P 500 added 12 points to 2204 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 53 points to 5308. Volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and more than a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 89 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 40 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index has been consolidating above its August highs. The benchmark index is up +7.82% 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 Dow climbed to an all-time high on Monday as investors digested Italy’s referendum decision and commentary from Federal Reserve officials. Overseas, Italian voters rejected constitutional reform, leading to the resignation of Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. On the domestic front, New York Fed President William Dudley stated he favors gradual rate hikes if the U.S. economy stays on its current trajectory. In economic news, U.S. services companies expanded last month at their fastest pace since October 2015.
Nine of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. Consumer Discretionary shares outperformed with Michael Kors (KORS +4.91%) gaining. Nike (NKE +2.75%) rose after being the subject of positive analyst commentary. In Financials, Fannie Mae (FNMA -5.19%) fell amid reports that Treasury Secretary nominee Steve Mnuchin hasn’t made any concrete promises after previously stating that GSEs cannot be government owned. Energy Transfer Partners (ETP -1.72%) fell with news the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers turned down permit for North Dakota Pipeline to cross Lake Oahe.
Treasuries declined with the benchmark 10-year note down 3/32 to yield 2.39%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude lost 1.3% to $51.03/barrel. COMEX gold slipped 0.1% to $1174.00/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index fell 0.6%. |

Hit Another New High Today With Volume-Driven Gain
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Evercore Partners Inc (EVR +$1.90 or +2.77% to $70.50) powered further into new all-time high territory with today's gain backed by +57% above average volume. It has rallied +11.37% since featured in the 11/06/16 mid-day report and it is very extended from its prior base. Disciplined investors avoid chasing extended stocks. It was last shown in this FSU section on 11/14/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Big Volume Driven Gain Extends Winning Streak", after highlighted in yellow with pivot point based on its 11/06/15 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here).
The high-ranked Finance - Investment Banks/Brokers firm provides advisory services to multinational corporations on mergers, acquistions, divestitures and restructurings. EVR reported earnings +51% on +25% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter. Three of the past 4 earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and steady.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares fell from 406 in Dec '15 to 391 in Sep '16, a less than reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. However, its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 3.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has an A Timeliness rating but a C sponsorship Rating. Its small supply of only 38.9 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Y - Pulled back with above average volume for a 2nd consecutive session. 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. Strong sales revenues and earnings increases in quarterly comparisons through Sep '16 match the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

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."
