Breadth Positive as Major Averages Find More Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished higher on Tuesday. The Dow was up 36 points to a record 19251. The S&P 500 rose 8 points to 2212 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 24 points to 5333. Volume totals 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 more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 116 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 89 on the prior session. New 52-week highs expanded and solidly outnumbered a shrinking list of new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average made more progress above its August highs. The Blue Chip index is up +10.48% 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 advanced as investors weighed updates on the economy. Before the open, a report showed U.S. productivity rose an annualized 3.1% in the third-quarter - the fastest pace in two years. A separate release revealed the trade deficit widened to $42.6 billion, from a revised $36.2 billion in September. On the manufacturing front, durable goods orders increased 4.6% while factory orders grew 2.7% in October.
Telecom and Financials were the best performing groups today. Verizon (VZ +1.23%) rose after announcing the sale of its data center business for $3.6 billion. Bank of America (BAC +1.47%) and J.P. Morgan (JPM +0.52%) rose as both banks forecasted better-than-expected fourth-quarter trading revenues. Energy and Utilities were down the most on the session. Edison International (EIX -1.28%) and Chevron (CVX -0.43%) fell amid weakness in oil prices. In earnings, AutoZone (AZO +0.44%) edged higher as quarterly result beat projections. Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG -7.55%) fell after reporting same-store sales dropped more than forecasted.
Treasuries were modestly higher with 10-year note up /32 to yield 2.38%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude fell 2.1% to $50.71/barrel. COMEX gold lost 0.5% to $1167.70/ounce. |

Tech, Retail, and Financial Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.67%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +1.25%) both posted gains, boosting the major averages along with the Retail Index ($RLX +0.44%). The tech sector had a positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.38%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.00%), and Networking Index ($NWX +0.65%) rose. Energy-linked groups paused but held their recent gains as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.09%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.01%) both were unchanged. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.77%) was a laggard while posting a small loss. Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
 PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX +0.65%) is consolidating near record highs, well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Concerns Remain While Lingering Below 50-Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Netease Inc (NTES -3.52 or -1.56% to $222.65) halted its slide but posted recent gains lacking great volume conviction. The longer it lingers below its downward sloping 50-day moving average (DMA) line the worse its outlook gets. A rebound above the 50 DMA line ($245) is needed to help its outlook improve. Further deterioration below recent lows would raise more serious concerns. It was last shown in this FSU section on 11/17/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Slump Below 50-Day Moving Average Raised Concerns".
Recently it reported earnings +40% on +32% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter. Those earnings results were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), but not as impressive as its reported earnings +89% on +83% sales revenues for the Jun '16 quarter, and ever stronger quarters prior. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong.
NTES currently has a Timeliness rating of B and a Sponsorship Rating of C. It has traded up as much as +49.4% since highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/29/15 high plus 10 cents in the 6/29/16 mid-day report (read here). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 467 in Jun '15 to 907 in Sep '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight distributional pressure over the past 50 days. |
