Leadership Improved as Major Averages Rose Again
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished higher on Thursday. The Dow was up 35 points to 18903. The S&P 500 added 10 points to 2187 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 39 points to 5333. The benchmark S&P 500 Index managed a record high close, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index ended six points off its best close ever. Volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange while the mix was narrowly positive on the NYSE. There were 93 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 62 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index rallied near its record high.
The major averages (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend. New buying efforts should only be made in candidates with superior fundamental and technical characteristics. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.
The major averages advanced on the session as investors digested economic releases and commentary from Fed Chair Janet Yellen. In a speech before Congress, Yellen stated a rate hike could be appropriate relatively soon while also citing the dangers of waiting too long. On the data front, a gauge of inflation showed that consumer prices rose 0.4% in October, in-line with analyst expectations. In a separate release, housing starts climbed 25.5% last month, to the highest level since August 2007.
Six of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. In M&A news, Western Refining (WNR +23.11%) jumped after agreeing to a $4.1 billion takeover bid from Tesero Corp (TSRO +6.32%). In earnings, Wal-Mart (WMT -3.08%) as the retail giant posted lower-than-expected quarterly sales. First Solar (FSLR -5.06%) fell after the company reduced its forward earnings guidance. In the consumer space, Best Buy (BBY +13.7%) rose as the electronics retailer beat profit estimates. Shares of JM Smucker (SJM -3.9%) fell after revenue fell short of Wall Street forecasts.
Treasuries finished lower with the benchmark 10-year note down 16/32 to yield 2.28%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude fell 1.4% to $44.94/barrel. In FOREX, the Dollar Index advanced 0.5%.

Slump Below 50-Day Moving Average Raised Concerns
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Netease Inc (NTES +$6.70 or +2.91% to $236.83) posted a second consecutive gain with light volume. A rebound above the 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($248) is needed for its outlook to improve. It suffered damaging losses with heavy volume since last shown in this FSU section on 10/21/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Very Extended From Base Following Additional Gains".
Recently it reported earnings +40% on +32% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter. Those earnings results were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), but not as impressive as its reported earnings +89% on +83% sales revenues for the Jun '16 quarter, and ever stronger quarters prior. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong.
NTES traded up as much as +49.4% since highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/29/15 high plus 10 cents in the 6/29/16 mid-day report (read here). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 467 in Jun '15 to 874 in Sep '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is also an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. |

G - Its 50 DMA line may act as resistance following a volume-driven loss on 11/14/16 triggering a technical sell signal. A rebound above its 50 DMA line ($262) is needed for its outlook to improve. Reported earnings +16% on +8% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

G - Found support at its 50 DMA line ($45) today but a damaging violation would raise concerns. Deterioration below recent lows in the $41 area would raise greater concerns and trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal. Reported earnings +10% on +6% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising concerns. Its color code was changed to green.
