Major Indices Ended Mixed and Little Changed

The major indices ended mixed and little changed on Wednesday. Volume reported was lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a narrown margin on the NYSE and decliners led advances by a narrow margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 30 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 53 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange for a second consecutive session. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Disciplined investors know that new buying efforts are only to be made in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.
