Leadership Wanes as Major Indices Edge LOwer
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow fell 54 points, while the S&P 500 lost 0.2%, with both benchmark indexes declining for a third straight session. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.2%. Decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on both major exchanges. There were 26 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 42 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in a "confirmed uptrend" after enduring distributional pressure in recent weeks. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index retreated from its record high with 3 consecutive losses.

The major averages extended their recent retreat from their respective all-time highs notched earlier this week, as investors digested the latest developments on the trade front. A report showed Chinese Vice Premier Liu He invited the U.S. to Beijing to further negotiations and said he is “cautiously optimistic” about a phase one deal. Meanwhile, U.S. political intervention tempered investor sentiment after the House passed legislation that supports Hong Kong anti-government protesters.

On the data front, the leading economic index decreased 0.1% in October, in-line with projections. A separate report showed existing home sales rose 1.9% in October, rebounding from the prior month’s downwardly revised 2.5% decline. Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the 10-year note rising four basis points to 1.77%. In commodities, WTI crude jumped 2.5% to $58.43/barrel, near a nine-week high. COMEX gold fell 0.6% to $1,464.80/ounce.

Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in negative territory with Real Estate group lagging the most. Consumer Discretionary shares also underperformed with Macy’s (M -2.33%) falling after posting its first same store sales decline in two-years and cutting full-year guidance. L Brands (LB +8.06%) bucked the sector’s downward trend after issuing solid third quarter earnings results. In M&A news, TD Ameritrade (AMTD +16.92%) rose following reports that Charles Schwab (SCHW +7.33%) is interested in acquiring the online brokerage firm. PayPal (PYPL -1.48%) fell after announcing an acquisition of privately held Honey Science for $4 billion.

Gapped Up Following Another Strong Earnings Report
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Copart Inc (CPRT +$2.93 or +3.45% to $87.85) gapped up today hitting a new all-time high. It is extended from any sound base. The 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($82.41) defines near-term support above the prior low ($80.71 on 11/06/19).

Bullish action came after it reported earnings +38% on +20% sales revenues for the Oct '19 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record. The past 3 quarterly earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) and its sales revenues growth rate has accelerated. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and steady since a downturn in FY '13.

CPRT was last shown in this FSU session on 11/06/19 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Testing Support at 50-Day Moving Average". A volume-driven gain above the pivot point on 9/05/19 clinched a technical buy signal when CPRT was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 7/26/19 high plus 10 cents (read here).

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,120 in Sep '18 to 1,353 in Sep '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of B.
