Tech Heavy Nasdaq Rose While Other Indices Inched Lower
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow fell 69 points, while the S&P 500 declined 0.1%. The Nasdaq Composite bucked the downtrend, advancing 0.5%. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership thinned as there were 37 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 91 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contacted yet still solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. The major indices confirmed a new uptrend (M criteria) with recent follow-through gains backed by higher volume and more leadership. Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions based based on the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.  PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index retreated from its record high.
Stocks finished mixed on Thursday, as investors weighed disappointing unemployment data against hopes for additional fiscal stimulus. Leaders from both parties signaled that progress had been made on Thursday, while a separate news report showed a bipartisan group of lawmakers reached an agreement for a $160 billion proposal in state and local aid. However, coronavirus liability protections for business is likely to remain as a key hurdle. Meanwhile, the U.S. surpassed 3,000 COVID-related deaths for the first time on Wednesday and new daily infections remained elevated above 200,000.
On the data front, the weekly initial jobless claims release showed the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits jumped more than anticipated to 853,000 in the latest week from an upwardly revised 716,000 the prior period. Separately, the headline consumer price index (CPI) ticked up 0.2% in November, while the year-over-year core figure (ex- food and energy) rose 1.6%. Treasuries advanced, with the yield on the 10-year note slipping three basis points to 0.90%. In commodities, WTI crude added 3% to $46.88/barrel.
Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in negative territory. The Energy, Financial, and Information Technology groups bucked the downtrend, while the Industrials and Materials lagged the most. In corporate news, Starbucks (SBUX +4.97%) rose to a new all-time high after the coffee chain giant said its U.S. stores are rebounding faster than expected, and the company anticipates a “significant” recovery next year. |

Energy Biotech and Networking Indexes Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Strength in energy-related shares helped the Oil Services Index ($OSX +4.14%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +3.40%) post standout gains. The Biotech Index ($BTK +1.38%) and Networking Index ($NWX +0.99%) led the tech sector higher while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.07%) finished flat. Financial shares were mixed as the Bank Index ($BKX +0.46%) edged higher but the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.65%) lost ground. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.20%) edged lower and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.35%) edged higher.
PICTURED: The Biotech Index ($BTK +1.38%) is consolidating above its 50 and 200 DMA lines.

Perched Near Pivot Point in Need of Confirming Gain on Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Clearfield Inc (CLFD +$0.56 or +2.23% to $25.63) posted a gain today with below above average volume hovering near its 52-week high. Near term support is defined by its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($22.89) and an upward trendline. Subsequent gains and a close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal.
The high-ranked TELECOMMUNICATIONS - Cables / Satalite Equipment firm reported earnings +57% on +14% sales revenues for the Sep '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive quarterly earnings comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has improved after a downturn in FY '17.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 132 in Jun '20 to 136 in Sep '20. Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It currently has a Timeliness Rating of A but a Sponsorship Rating of D. Its Accumulation/Distribution Rating is B.
