Leadership Thinned and Major Averages Ended Mixed

Stocks were mixed on Tuesday. The Dow was up 27 points to 17758. The S&P 500 was 3 points higher to 2081. The NASDAQ slid 12 points to 5083. Volume totals were reported mixed, lighter on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by almost a 3-2 margin on the NYSE but decliners narrowly led advancers on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership contracted as there were 32 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from 47 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. There were 8 gainers from the 11 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is perched only -2.83% off its all-time high.

The major indices have established a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Coupled with a reassuring expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) big gains helped the S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite Index unanimously rally above their respective 200-day moving average lines. The market environment is technically in healthier shape. New buying efforts may be considered in stocks meeting all key criteria, and some new candidates have met the strict guidelines of the fact-based investment system in the recent recovery.

The major averages fluctuated on a light day of market news. An economic release showed that wholesale inventories increased more than expected in September. A separate report showed import prices fell 0.5% in October. Overseas, concerns over global growth reappeared after a report showed a lower than expected rise in Chinese inflation.

In earnings news, D.R. Horton (DHI +8.27%) rose after slightly beating analyst earnings expectations and raising its dividend. SunEdison (SUNE -22.03%) fell sharply after announcing a change in strategy due to turbulence in the energy markets. Gap (GPS -1.44%) edged lower after the retailer reported declining sales.

Seven out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished higher on the session. Apple (AAPL -3.15%) led tech stocks lower after negative analyst commentary. The materials sector also underperformed while consumer discretionary and utilities stocks paced the gains.

Treasuries finished slightly higher. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note added 3/32 to yield 2.33%. In commodities, WTI crude advanced 0.6% to $44.15/barrel. Gold ebbed 0.1% to $1091.90/ounce on the COMEX. In FOREX, the dollar gained modestly with strength against the euro.h

Wedging Higher Following Volume-Driven Breakout

Natural Health Trends (NHTC +$0.81 or +1.54% to $53.36) is perched near its all-time high after 4 consecutive gains on lighter volume totals. It faces no overhead supply up to act as resistance. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks extended more than +5% above prior highs and always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price. 

Volume-driven gains triggered a technical buy signal after it was last shown in this FSU section on 10/23/15 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Finished Strong But Approaching Prior Resistance". It was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 6/25/15 high plus 10 cents in the 10/23/15 mid-day report (read here). Convincing signs of fresh institutional buying demand might mark the beginning of a substantial new leg up in price.

The high-ranked Cosmetics / Personal Care firm reported Sep '15 quarterly earnings +181% on +154% sales revenues versus the year ago period, continuing its track record of strong sales and earnings increases well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Earnings rose +767%, +513%, +250%, +221%, +108%, and +100% in the Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec '14, Mar and Jun '15 quarters, versus the year earlier periods, respectively. Sales revenues rose +168%, +223%, +124%, 85%, +76%, and +104% during than span.

There are 119 top-rated funds reportedly owning an interest through Sep '15, up from only 2 in Dec '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of C. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 also is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
