Major Indices Posted Gains With Slight Increase in Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks finished higher Tuesday. The Dow jumped 431 points to 24874, while the S&P 500 gained 41 points to 2682. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 111 points to 7161. The volume totals reported were higher on the NYSE and near the prior session on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Advancers led decliners by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 9 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 4 on the prior session, as market leadership remained thin but improved. New 52-week lows totals easily outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange. Recent reports have noted that the major indices (M criteria) have shown action indicative of a market correction while leadership disappeared. During market corrections investors should have a bias toward selling stocks on a case-by-case basis as technical sell signals occur, raising cash levels while reducing market exposure. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average and other major indices rose on Tuesday, marking Day 1 on a new rally attempt. Technically, the market remains in a "correction" under the fact-based investment system. Members have been reminded repeatedly that new buying efforts are against the rules until a convincing follow-through day occurs. A "follow-through day" of solid gains (at least +1%) from one or more of the major indices, backed by higher volume, and coupled with a leadership expansion (increase in new 52-week highs), are all of the necessary elements required to confirm a new rally. Until then, patience and discipline are paramount.

The major averages pared losses from the previous session as positive corporate earnings updates buoyed investor sentiment. On the data front, a release from the Conference Board revealed U.S. consumer confidence reached the highest level since 2000 in October after the prior month’s reading was revised downwards. Separately, the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose at the slowest rate since 2016 during the month of August.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory. Communication Services was up the most as shares of Facebook (FB +2.91%) rose. Consumer Staples also outperformed as Coca-Cola (KO +2.52%) rose after the beverage-maker topped analyst earnings estimates. Semi-conductors rebounded from recent weakness as Intel (INTC +5.20%) and NVIDIA (NVDA +9.36%) rose. In other earnings, General Electric (GE -8.78%) fell after the industrial conglomerate fell short of analyst projections and cut its dividend by 92% to $0.01. Under Armour (UA +27.75%) surged after the athletic apparel maker topped revenue forecasts.

Treasuries were weaker with the yield on the 10-year note up three basis points to 3.11%. In commodities, WTI crude slipped 1.3% to $66.15/barrel. COMEX gold fell 0.2% at $1,225.10/ounce amid a stronger dollar.

Finding Support Near its 50-Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Ollie's Bargain Outlet (OLLI +$4.05 or +4.57% to $92.72) found support recently near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($89.28). It has not formed a sound new base of sufficient length. Fundamentals remain strong. OLLI was last shown in this FSU section on 10/09/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Encountered Distributional Pressure After a Great Rally".

Recently it reported earnings +48% on +13% sales revenues for the Jul '18 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record and meeting the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). It has earned a very strong 98 Earnings Per Share (EPS) rating.

The Retail - Discount & Variety firm traded up as much as +269.5% 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 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 510 in Sep '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation or distributional pressure over the past 50 days. The small supply of only 62.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
