Loss Broke Winning Streak After Fed Raised Target Rates
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks declined on Wednesday. The Dow was down 118 points to 19792. The S&P 500 lost 18 points to 2253 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 27 points to 5436. Volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by 12-5 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 34 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 49 on the prior session. New 52-week highs contracted but still solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average's loss broke a 7-day winning streak into record high territory.
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 finished lower while U.S. Treasuries sold-off after the Federal Reserve increased its target for interest rates for the second time in a decade. The central bank raised its target range from 0.25%-0.5% to a range of 0.5%-0.75%. In addition, Fed officials forecast a steeper path for borrowing costs in 2017, stating that inflation expectations have increased considerably. On the data front, a gauge of inflation showed that producer prices increased 0.4% in November while retail sales rose 0.1%.
All 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory. Utilities shares underperformed along with Energy and Real Estate stocks. Big banks caught a boost amid the rate hike with Goldman Sachs (GS +0.58%) edging higher. Technology stocks pared losses to finish modestly lower on the session. Shares of Alphabet (GOOGL +0.33%) inched higher.
Treasuries declined along the curve Wednesday. The benchmark 10-year note fell 29/32 to yield 2.57%, the highest since 2014. At the short end of the curve, the two-year Treasury yield reached the highest since 2009. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude retreated 3.9% to $50.89/barrel. COMEX gold added 0.4% to $1161.30/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index erased early losses and surged 1.3% higher against its peers. |

Commodity-Linked Groups and Retailers Led Retreat
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX -0.88%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.32%) both edged lower while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.01%) was unchanged on Wednesday. The tech sector was mixed as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.14%) and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.26%) edged lower and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.31%) posted a small gain. Commodity-linked groups had a negative bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -3.08%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.13%), and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -5.14%) each ended solidly lower. Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
 PICTURED: The Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.13%) lost ground, breaking a 10-day winning streak.

Financial Firm Remains Extended Well Above Prior Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
ServisFirst Bancshares Inc (SFBS -$0.97 or -1.34% to $71.21) has recently been churning above average volume while pulling back from all-time highs. It remains very extended from its prior base. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($61.38) defines important support to watch on pullbacks. It was last shown in this FSU section on 11/22/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Very Extended From Prior Base Following Post-Election Gains". It got a burst of momentum along with many other Financial stocks following the election.
SFBS reported earnings +28% on +18% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter, its 4th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), helping it match the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Earnings rose +28%, +34%, and +31% in the Dec '15, Mar and Jun '16 quarters, respectively, and underlying sales revenues growth has been in the +17-26% range. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 159 in Sep '15 to 232 in Sep '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its small supply of only 23.1 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. |

Little resistance remains due to overhead supply. Volume-driven gains for new highs may trigger a technical buy signal.
