Major Indices Overcame Early Losses to Post Small Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices overcame early losses to post modest gains on Tuesday. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing a lack of serious buying conviction from the institutional crowd. Advancers led decliners by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week lows totals again outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. New leadership remained thin as there were 11 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 7 on the prior session. Heavier distributional pressure on the major averages (M criteria) has been noted since last Monday (read here) as a worrisome "correction" warranting much greater caution. During market corrections investors should avoid new buying efforts and raise cash by quickly reacting to technical sell signals from stocks on a case-by-case basis. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
 PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index remains below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. The gain on Tuesday was marked by lighter volume and simply marked Day 3 of a new rally attempt. Disciplined investors will watch carefully for a follow-through-day of gains on higher volume marked by an expansion in leadership (new highs) to signal when new buying efforts are again justified under the fact-based investment system. Meanwhile, patience and caution are paramount. The Featured Stocks Page provides the latest analysis on noteworthy high-ranked leaders.
U.S. equities overcame early losses despite renewed concerns over rising interest rates and as investors awaited January’s inflation update due out Wednesday morning. On the data front, a release revealed small business optimism increased more than anticipated in January to nearly its highest levels in 45 years. In central bank news, Cleveland President Loretta Mester said that the recent stock market sell-off and increased volatility will not damage the economy’s overall strong outlook.
Consumer Discretionary was a notable advancer with Under Armour (UA +16.01%) rising after the athletic apparel maker posted quarterly revenues above analyst estimates. Health Care shares provided a market headwind amid reports Amazon (AMZN +2.04%) will expand its medical supply business. Henry Schein (HSIC -6.64%) and Patterson Companies (PDCO -5.19%) fell after both medical suppliers were named in an FTC antitrust filing. |

Consolidating Above 50-Day Moving Average Line
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Ollie's Bargain Outlet (OLLI -$0.20 or -0.36% to $54.80) is extended from any sound base. Its 50-day moving average DMA line ($53.21) and recent low ($50.15 on 1/04/18) define important near-term support where damaging violations may trigger more worrisome technical sell signals.
Fundamentals remain very strong. Recently it reported earnings +29% on +18% sales revenues for the Oct '17 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record and meeting the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). It has earned a very strong 97 Earnings Per Share (EPS) rating.
The Retail - Discount & Variety firm traded up as much as +121% since highlighted in yellow with a pivot point based on its 4/28/16 high plus 10 cents in 7/19/16 mid-day report (read here). OLLI was last shown in this FSU section on 1/18/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Bargain Outlet Looked Expensive Before +114% Rally in 18 Months".
OLLI completed its $16 IPO on 7/16/15. It completed a Secondary Offerings on 6/06/16 and 2/18/16. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 98 in Sep '15 to 436 in Dec '17, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. The small supply of only 61.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
