Major Indices Were Mixed as New Lows Totals Swelled
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow fell 201 points, dragging the blue chip index 0.9% lower for the week. The S&P 500 rose 0.1%, trimming its weekly loss to 0.3%. The Nasdaq Composite added 0.6%, paring its five-day drop to 0.3%, still its third straight weekly decline. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 6-5 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 41 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 65 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs by about 2-1 on the NYSE and even more decisively on the Nasdaq exchange. The market averages (M criteria) have an uptrend that is currently under pressure. New buying efforts are to be carefully made under the fact-based investment system's strict criteria.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index has been testing its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. The tech-heavy benchmark closed more than 7.2% below its most recent November 19 record, but remained above its 200-day moving average, a closely watched technical level.

Stocks finished mixed on Friday as investors weighed disappointing corporate earnings results and economic data. Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with Financials lagging the most as earnings from major banks were poorly received. JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM -6.15%) and Citigroup Inc. (C -1.25%) fell after both firms reported a slowdown in fourth-quarter profits amid weaker trading revenue. Elsewhere, Netflix Inc. (NFLX +1.25%) rose after announcing price increases for its streaming service.

Disappointing data also dampened sentiment. U.S. retail sales slumped 1.9% in December, the largest decline in 10 months. Separately, a preliminary reading from the University of Michigan showed consumer sentiment deteriorating in January. Additionally, industrial production contracted last month amid material and labor shortages.

Treasuries retreated as a chorus for Federal Reserve (Fed) leaders this week voiced support for a March rate hike. The yield on the more Fed-sensitive two-year note spiked seven basis points (0.07%) to 0.96%, a fresh pandemic peak. The yield on the 10-year note jumped eight basis points (0.08%) to 1.78%, though little changed on the week. In commodities, WTI crude ended at $84.19/barrel, capping a four-week winning streak that marked its best run since October.

Semiconductor, Biotech, and Energy-Linked Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.33%) and Biotech Index ($BTK +1.27%) both posted gains while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.42%) edged lower. Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +3.82%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +2.61%) both posted solid gains while the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.13%) lost ground.

PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.33%) rebounded above its 50 DMA line with Friday's gain. It halted its slide after recently dipping below the prior low.

Recent Low and 200 DMA Line Define Near-Term Support
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Camtek Ltd (CAMT +$1.55 or +3.73% to $43.07) has been sputtering after slumping below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($44.30). A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. The recent low and its 200 DMA line define the next important support level in the $39 area where any violation would raise more serious concerns.

Fundamentals remain strong. Recently it reported Sep '21 quarterly earnings +150% versus the year ago period, continuing its strong earnings track record. That marked its 5th strong quarterly comparison well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) and showing impressive sequential acceleration. This Israeli Electronics firm has a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history. It has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.

CAMT was first highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/13/21 high plus 10 cents in the 4/28/21 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 12/15/21 with an annotated graph included under the headline, "Closed Above 50-Day Average After Big Gain With Light Volume".

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 48 in Jun '20 to 114 in Dec '21 a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It completed a new Public Offering on 11/19/20. Still, its small supply of only 43.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. It has a Timeliness Rating of B and a Sponsorship Rating of C.
