Breadth Showed Negative Bias as Major Indices Ended Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow reversed a more than 100 point decline to end 47 points higher, and pared its weekly loss to 0.6%. The S&P 500 slipped 0.1%, capping a three day losing streak and posting a 1% weekly decline. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.2% for the day and 0.7% for the week. Meanwhile, the small cap Russell 2000 index bucked the week’s downtrend, adding nearly 1%. The volume totals Friday were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 40 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 37 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average has been holding its ground in a tight range near its record high.
Stocks fluctuated on Friday as investors monitored updates from Capitol Hill, and weighed worsening COVID trends against lingering vaccine optimism. Stalled progress towards a fifth coronavirus relief measure in Washington dampened sentiment, but stocks found some reprieve following news the Senate passed a one-week stopgap spending bill to advert a government shutdown.
On the data front, an update showed core producer prices (ex-food and energy) increased 1.4% year-over-year. A flash reading from the University of Michigan revealed consumer sentiment unexpectedly rose to 81.4 in December from 76.9 the prior month. Treasuries advanced, with the yield on the 10-year note falling one basis point to 0.89%. In FX trading, the British pound slid against the greenback after leaders of the EU and U.K. both warned that a no-deal Brexit was increasingly likely.
Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended lower, with Energy and Financials leading laggards. The Communication Services group bucked the downtrend, with Disney (DIS +13.59%) surging after providing upbeat projections for its Disney+ streaming service subscriber growth. In other corporate news, Broadcom (AVGO -1.03%) fell after issuing tepid guidance following an earnings beat. Qualcomm (QCOM -7.36%) fell amid reports Apple (AAPL -0.67%) has started building its own iPhone modems. |

Relative Strength Rating Slumped While Lingering Below 50 DMA
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
B J S Whlsl Club Hldgs (BJ -$0.40 or -1.05% to $37.54) has been sputtering below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($40.50). Its Relative Strength rating has slumped to 60, well below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve.
BJ failed to make progress after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 8/26/20 high plus 10 cents in the 11/19/20 mid-day report (read here). It was shown in the FSU section that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Rebounding Near High With 3rd Strong Quarterly Report".
BJ reported Oct '20 quarterly results +124% on +16% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), helping it better match with the fundamental guidelines of the fact-based investment system. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong. The high-ranked Retail-DiscountandVariety firm completed its new IPO at $17 on 6/28/19. It has a new CEO as of 2/03/20
BJ has a fairly small supply of 137.9 million shares outstanding (S criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 533 in Dec '19 to 760 in Sep '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.0 is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days.

Y - Posted a gain today with below average volume challenging its 52-week high. Near term support is defined by its 50 DMA line ($22.89) and an upward trendline. A subsequent gain and close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume is needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal.
