Big Gain For Nasdaq Composite Index = New Confirmed Rally
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks rebounded from early losses to finish firmly higher on Wednesday, Day 4 of a new rally attempt. Disciplined investors will note that the follow-through-day of gains on higher volume was marked by an expansion in leadership (new highs). The Dow, which fell as many as 150 points, rose 253 to 24893. The S&P 500 was down as much as 14 points before closing up 36 at 2698. The Nasdaq Composite overcame a 36 point deficit to end the session with a 130 point gain at 7143. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing better buying conviction from the institutional crowd. Advancers led decliners by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week lows totals increases and again outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. New leadership improved as there were 22 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 11 on the prior session. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
 PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index rebounded and closed above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with a big +1.86% gain on Wednesday marked by higher volume. The meaningful gain came on Day 4 of a new rally attempt. Disciplined investors will note that the follow-through-day of gains on higher volume was marked by an expansion in leadership (new highs). New buying efforts may be justified under the fact-based investment system, however, only when all key criteria of the fact-based investment system are satisfied. The Featured Stocks Page provides the latest analysis on noteworthy high-ranked leaders.
The major averages extended its recovery to a fourth day after opening the session firmly in negative territory. U.S. equities dropped in early trading amid inflation concerns after a report revealed consumer prices rose 2.1% year-over-year in January. Investors also appeared disappointed by an unexpected 0.3% decline in retail sales last month.
The market erased its losses led by rallies in Financial and Technology sectors of at least 2.0%. Shares of J.P. Morgan (JPM +2.31%) and Facebook (FB +3.68%). Chipotle (CMG +15.35%) was the best performing member of the S&P 500, surging after announcing a new CEO to turnaround the company. Utilities were the notable decliner, down more 1.0% on the session, as Duke Energy (DUK -2.08%).
Treasuries fell, sending yields higher along the yield curve. Benchmark 10-year notes climbed 8 basis points to yield 2.91%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude was up 2.5% to $60.69/barrel after a report showed weekly U.S. inventories rose less than forecasted. COMEX gold gained 1.8% to $1352.30/ounce amid a weaker dollar. |

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Petmed Express Inc (PETS +$0.37 +0.85% $44.06) has failed to rebound and is still sputtering below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($46.28) after a "negative reversal" on 1/22/18 following earnings news. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook improve.
It finished strong after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 7/27/17 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here).
Recently it reported earnings +83% on +14% sales revenues, continuing its strong earnings track record. This Florida-based Retail - Internet firm "Reported earnings +79% on +10% sales revenues for the Sep '17 quarter, its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), helping it better match the fact based investment system's winning models."
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 247 in Mar '17 to 312 in Dec '17, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight distributional pressure over the past 50 days.
