Major Indices Remain Perched at Record Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished higher on Tuesday. The Dow was up 11 points to 19945. The S&P 500 added 5 points to 2268.The Nasdaq Composite gained 24 points to close at a record 5487. Volume totals were below average and they were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 70 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 26 on the prior session. New 52-week highs still outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.
PICTURED: The S&P 600 Small Cap Index Index is perched near its record high. A lot of small bank stocks are included in the small cap index. When we study the index's weakness which occurred in the beginning of 2016, as the market had its worst January performance in history, and also study its strong post-election rally into the end of the year, we can see that both of those periods are clearly included in the chart pattern of the Bank Index (shown in the "Industry Group Watch" section). Any changes in mood in 2017 are likely to appear in both charts.
Near 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 advanced on the session as Technology stocks climbed and the Dow Jones Industrial Average made another attempt to reach the psychologically important 20,000 point level. The blue-chip index ended the day within 60 points of the milestone mark. On the data front, the Case-Shiller Index showed U.S. home prices increased 5.1% year-over-year in October. In a separate release, consumer confidence rose to 113.7 in December, above analysts’ expectations.
Nine of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 ended in positive territory. Technology and Industrials helped paced the market higher on the session including chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA +6.87%). HD Supply (HDS +1.91%) rose after being the subject of positive article in Barron’s over the weekend. In Health Care, Biogen (BIIB +1.25%) rose and Ionis Pharmaceuticals (IONS +3.20%) rose after the FDA approved their new treatment for spinal muscular atrophy. Seattle Genetics (SGEN -15.36%) fell as regulators halted its trial study to treat leukemia following the death of four patients.
Treasuries finished lower on the session. The 10-year note was down 6/32 to yield 2.56% and 30-year bond declined 15/32 to yield 3.14%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude added 1.6% to $53.87/barrel. COMEX gold gained 0.5% to $1137.10/ounce. |

G - The longer it lingers below its 50 DMA line ($47.20) the worse its outlook becomes. Halted its slide after a slump below the 50 DMA line and below prior highs raised concerns and triggered technical sell signals. Repeatedly noted with caution in prior reports - "Reported earnings +10% on +6% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising concerns."

Y - Met resistance today and finished in the middle of its intra-day range. New pivot point was cited based on its 11/17/16 high plus 10 cents after an orderly base-on-base pattern. A volume-driven gain and strong close above the pivot point may clinch a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Recent lows in the $22 area and its 50 DMA line ($22.30) coincide defining important support to watch on pullbacks.
