Breadth Positive as Major Indices Rose Further

The S&P 500 (+0.8%) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (+0.5%) extended further into record territory as the Nasdaq Composite (+0.9%) closed about 170 points below its all-time high..The volume reported was lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 123 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 37 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. 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.
