Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished mostly higher on Wednesday. The Dow was up 59 points to 19083. The S&P 500 added 1 point to 2204 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 5 points to 5380. Volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange but advancers only held a narrow lead on the NYSE. There were 130 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 117 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average hit another new 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 Dow climbed to an all-time high on Wednesday as investors digested a flurry of updates on the economy. Durable goods orders rose 4.8% in October, above analyst estimates of a 1.7% increase. In separate releases, new home sales fell 1.9% in October while Markit’s survey of U.S. manufacturing expanded to 53.9 last month. Finally, a University of Michigan report on consumer sentiment came in at 93.8, above an expected 91.6 reading.
Seven of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. In earnings, Deere & Co. (DE +11%) rallied as the heavy equipment maker’s quarterly profit widely beat Wall Street expectations. GameStop (GME +8.1%) rose amid better-than-expected quarterly results. In the consumer space, Urban Outfitters (URBN -12.1%) was lower after reporting quarterly revenue came in below analysts’ forecasts. Health Care stocks declined with Juno Therapeutics (JUNO -24.5%) falling amid reports its cancer therapy trial killed two patients. Shares of Eli Lilly (LLY -10.5%) fell after the drugmaker announced its experimental Alzheimer’s drug failed to meet its goals.
Treasuries declined with the benchmark 10-year note down 12/32 to yield 2.35%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude lost 0.1% to $47.97/barrel. COMEX gold fell 1.8% to $1189.30/ounce. |

Strength Returned for Previously Featured Leader
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
I E S Holdings Inc (IESC +$0.25 or +1.28% to $19.75) was highlighted in yellow as it returned to the Featured Stocks list. Fundamentals remain strong. Recent volume-driven gains helped it rally to new highs and above the new pivot point cited based on its 9/06/16 high plus 10 cents.
IESC was last shown in this FSU section on 9/27/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Wedging Higher With Recent Gains Lacking Great Volume". It subsequently slumped below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and then met resistance at that short term average when trying to rebound. It showed bullish action after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/27/16. Following damaging volume-driven losses it found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. Members were previously reminded - "Under the fact-based system a stock which was previously sold can be bought back again if strength returns." The usual sell rules apply if a stock is repurchased, and in the Certification the teach investors to make a 10% larger purchase than on the prior entry.
The high-ranked Building - Maintenance & Service firm reported Jun '16 quarterly earnings +79% on +25% sales revenues, continuing its strong earnings track record. That marked its 4th consecutive quarterly earnings increase above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) in addition to the fact its sales revenues growth rate showed encouraging acceleration, helping it better match the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong for the past 3 years.
Today it has a Timeliness rating of A, but its Sponsorship rating is currently a D. The number of top rated funds owning its shares rose from 53 in Dec '15 to 141 in Sep '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of only 7.5 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling

G - Encountered mild distributional pressure and tested support at its 50 DMA line ($45.25). A damaging violation would raise concerns and deterioration below recent lows in the $41 area would raise more serious concerns and trigger a 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.
