Leadership Improved on Quiet Pre-Thanksgiving Day Session
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks were little-changed on Wednesday. The Dow added 1 point to 17813. The S&P 500 was flat to close at 2088. The NASDAQ was up 13 points to 5116. Volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by almost 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 49 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from 40 on the prior session. There were gains for 10 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the Nasdaq exchange and the NYSE, marking the first time since November 4th new lows did not trump new highs.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average faces near term resistance at a downward trendline. It is -2.9% off its all-time high, above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and 50 DMA lines.
All three major averages (M criteria) showed impressive strength and recently rebounded above their respective 200 DMA lines while leadership (stocks hitting new highs) improved. New buying efforts may only be considered in stocks meeting all key criteria.The major averages experienced a quiet trading session despite a flurry of
economic releases. Personal spending rose 0.1% in October, below a projected
0.3% increase. Weekly jobless claims declined 12,000 to 260,000, below
expectations of 271,000. Durable goods orders and a survey of U.S. housing
prices also surprised to the upside. Finally, Markit services data showed a
better-than-expected November increase.
On the earnings front, HP Inc. (HPQ -13.66%) fell as the company posted
disappointing results in its first quarter as a stand-alone entity. Shares of
Deere (DE +4.79%) rose after profits soundly beat analyst expectations.
Guess Inc. (GES +6.76%) jumped after exceeding earnings projections and
raising forward guidance.
Six out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished lower on Wednesday. Energy
shares underperformed along with materials, while consumer and healthcare stocks
paced the gains.
Treasuries were mostly unchanged. The benchmark 10-year note crept 1/32
higher to yield 2.23%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude gained 0.5% to
$43.07/barrel after a report showed a ninth-straight weekly increase in U.S.
crude supplies. COMEX gold was down 0.3% to $1070.10/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar
was higher with strength against the euro. . The Featured Stocks Page saw some new names recently added.

Gain For New High With +36% Above Average Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Blackhawk Network Inc (HAWK +$1/17 or +2.50% to $47.95) was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 10/09/15 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It hit a new high as it posted a gain with +36% above average volume. A subsequent volume driven gain and strong close above the pivot is still needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Under the fact-based investment system's buying rules the volume must be at least +40% above average behind gains above a stock's pivot point to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Historic studies have shown that most big stock market winners began their considerable price advance with a burst of very heavy volume behind their breakout gains into new high territory. The surge of volume is a crucial sign of serious institutional buying demand. HAWK found support at its 200 DMA line and rebounded impressively since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/20/15. It was last shown in this FSU section on 10/09/15 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Met Some Resistance After Touching a New 52-Week High". Fundamentals remain strong. It reported earnings +52% on +31% sales revenues for the Sep '15 quarter, its 4th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), helping it better match the winning models of the fact-based investment system. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 205 in Dec '14 to 323 in Sep '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Currently the Finance - Credit Card/Payment Processing firm has a Timeliness rating of A and a Sponsorship rating of C. The small supply of only 53.5 million shares (S criteria) in the pubic float can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. |
