Breadth Positive and Leadership Improves; Major Indices End Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished little changed Monday. The Dow was off 53 points to 25,053 while the S&P 500 added a point to 2,709. The Nasdaq Composite gained 9 points to 7,307. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by nearly 2-1 on the NYSE and by 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 43 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 24 on the prior session. New 52-week highs expanded and solidly outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend after recently noted improvements helped to signal a change in market direction (M criteria) back to a bullish stance. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is consolidating after meeting resistance at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line, still -7.9% below its record high.
The major averages hovered near the flat-line as investors awaited further trade updates. U.S. and Chinese trade officials are set to resume negotiations on Wednesday as the two delegations are attempting to finalize a new agreement prior to March 1st. A report today indicated President Trump and Chinese President Xi may have additional trade discussions in mid-March. Market participants also kept a watchful eye on Capitol Hill as lawmaker’s continue to debate separate budget proposals ahead of Friday’s deadline to fund the federal government. There were no notable economic releases today.
Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory as Industrials paced gains. Shares of Norfolk Southern (NSC +3.20%) rose after the railroad operator announced a strategic plan to increase revenues. Communication Services underperformed as Activision-Blizzard (ATVI -7.60%) fell amid reports the video game maker plans to cut its workforce. In corporate news, Tesla (TSLA +2.30%) rose after the electric vehicle maker was the subject of an analyst upgrade.
Treasuries weakened along the curve with the yield on the 10-year note up two basis point to 2.66%. In commodities, WTI crude lost 0.6% to $52.39/barrel. COMEX gold declined 0.5% to $1,307.00/ounce amid a stronger dollar. |

Big Breakaway Gap Triggered Technical Buy Signal
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Insperity Inc (NSP +$21.07 or +19.00% to $131.97) was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 9/11/18 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It hit a new all-time high with today's big "breakaway gap" triggering a technical buy signal.
The high-ranked Commercial Services - Outsourcing firm reported earnings +25% on +17% sales revenues for the Dec '18 quarter. The past 7 quarterly earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its Timeliness Rating is A and its Sponsorship Rating is B. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has improved after a downturn in FY '13.
Shares split 2:1 effective 12/19/17. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 319 in Mar '16 to 634 in Dec '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of only 37.6 million shares in the public float (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Y - Volume totals have been cooling while holding its ground near its all-time high. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may help clinch a proper technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line and recent low define near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

G - Quiet gain today hit another new all-time high. Recent gains have lacked great volume conviction. Gains and a strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to clinch a proper technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($90.34) and prior low define near-term support to watch on pullbacks. Fundamentals remain strong.

Gain on 2/04/19 was backed by +48% above average volume while clearing a "double bottom" base. Reported earnings +86% on +50% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter. Three of the past 4 quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria).

Y - Pulled back today for a 5th consecutive loss with higher volume. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong. The 200 DMA line acted as support above the prior low and it has rebounded since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 12/19/18.
