Major Indices Closed Near Record Highs

The S&P 500 (+0.6%), Nasdaq Composite (+0.8%), Dow Jones Industrial Average (+0.4%), and Russell 2000 (+0.4%) closed near all time highs. The shortened session's, volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 2-1 ratio at the NYSE and at the Nasdaq. There were 51 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 80 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Disciplined investors know that new buying efforts are only to be made in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is hovering near its all-time high.

Many stocks participated in the broad advance that led nine of the S&P 500 sectors to close higher. The information technology sector was among the top performers, boosted by gains in its semiconductor components, along with gains in Apple (AAPL +1.0%) and Microsoft (MSFT +0.1%). MSFT initially traded down as much as 1.2% after a Bloomberg report indicating it might be facing a broad FTC investigation.

The consumer discretionary sector (+1.1%) was another top performer with many retailers logging outsized gains on Black Friday.
