Nasdaq Composite Index Outpaces Peers
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow slipped 44 points, while the S&P 500 rose 0.2%. The Nasdaq Composite gained 0.5% to a fresh all-time high. Wednesday's volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly negative as decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 88 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 72 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). 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 Nasdaq Compsite Index hit a new record high.
Stocks finished mixed on Wednesday, as investors assessed economic data and weighed the latest central bank updates. Fiscal stimulus news also garnered attention, with Congressional leaders reportedly making progress towards a $900 billion coronavirus relief bill that should include another round of direct payments.
Monetary policy received renewed attention, with the Federal Reserve leaving benchmark rates unchanged near zero, as widely expected. Policymakers also noted that asset purchasing would remain at current levels until the U.S. economy made “substantial” progress towards full employment and inflation targets. On the data front, a release showed U.S. retail sales fell 1.1% in November, which was a steeper drop than the 0.3% expected decline and October’s downwardly revised 0.1% fall. Separately, the flash December reading of manufacturing and services PMI from research firm Markit revealed activity in both sectors are expanding at a slightly slower pace compared to November. Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note adding one basis point to 0.92%.
Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in negative territory. In corporate news, Alphabet (GOOGL -0.2%) edged lower after a coalition of states led by Texas filed an antitrust lawsuit against its Google unit. Canadian cannabis company Tilray (TLRY +18.55%) rose after agreeing to be acquired by competitor Aphria (APHA -0.86%) in an all-stock deal. Elsewhere, Moderna (MRNA -6.92%) after being the subject of an analyst downgrade ahead of its widely anticipated FDA emergency use approval of its COVID vaccine candidate. |

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Shopify Inc Cl A (SHOP +$83.21 or +7.75% to $1,157.31) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/01/20 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It hit a new all-time high with today's big gain backed by +117% above average volume while rising from a 15-week base. The gain and strong close above its pivot point clinched a convincing technical buy signal. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($1,022) defines near-term support to watch above its 200 DMA line ($852).
It reported Sep '20 quarterly earnings of $1.13 per share versus a loss of 29 cents per share on +96% sales revenues versus the year ago period. The Ontario, Canada-based Computer Software - Enterprise firm's prior quarters showed big earnings increases well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) with very strong underlying sales revenues growth. After years of losses it had strong earnings growth in FY '17-19 (A criteria).
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,151 in Sep '19 to 1,605 in Sep '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a B Timeliness rating and an A Sponsorship Rating. There are 120.1 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of instititonal buying or selling. |
