Major Averages Slumped With Higher Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Despite Monday’s decline, the major averages ended the month in positive territory. The Dow rose 0.3%, the S&P 500 gained 0.1% and the NASDAQ Composite increased 1.1%. Stocks were lower on Monday. The Dow lost 79 points to 17719. The S&P 500 fell 10 points to 2080. The NASDAQ Composite declined 19 points to 5108. Volume totals on Monday's session were up from Friday's light half-session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners narrowly led advancers on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 76 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from 57 on the prior session. There were gains for 6 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.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index faces near-term resistance at prior highs while perched -2.5% off its all-time high. It is consolidating above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (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 ended November on a down note amid investor caution ahead
of several key data releases later in the week. Wednesday’s Beige Book and
Friday’s jobs report will be monitored for indications on whether the U.S.
central bank will raise rates in December. The conclusion of European Central
Bank’s policy meeting and Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s Congressional testimony
Thursday also garnered attention during the session. A report today showed
pending home sales edged up 0.2% in October versus a projected 1.0% gain.
Another reading revealed Midwest manufacturing activity unexpectedly contracted
in November.
AbbVie (ABBV -3.1%) fell as health care and consumer discretionary were the worst-performing sectors. Wal-Mart (WMT -1.8%) fell amid indications
the holiday shopping season is off to a slow start. Energy was the up the most
even as oil resumed its retreat. Halliburton (HAL +1.8%) and
Exxon (XOM +0.5%) rose.
Treasuries were higher at the long end of the yield curve. The 10-year note
was up 3/32 to 2.21%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude was down 0.1% to
$41.65/barrel. COMEX gold advanced 0.8% to $1065.00/ounce.

Consolidating Above Prior Highs and 50-Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Sanfilippo John B & Son (JBSS -$1.49 or -2.52% to $57.55) gapped down today and tested support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which defines important support to watch. Its color code was changed to yellow while consolidating back below its "max buy" level. Prior highs in the $57 area also define important support where more serious losses would raise concerns. Disciplined investors always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price. It was last shown in this FSU section with an annotated graph on 11/12/15 under the headline, " Consolidating Near "Max Buy" Level and Well Above Prior Highs". Prior highs in the $57 area acted as support during the pullback shortly after its technical breakout on heavy volume. It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 7/14/15 high plus 10 cents in the 10/27/15 mid-day report (read here). The considerable gain backed by +162% above average volume and strong finish above the pivot point clinched a technical buy signal. The Food - Misc Preparation firm processes and markets various nuts. JBSS reported earnings +34% on +10% sales revenues for the Sep '15 quarter, its 3rd consecutive earnings comparison (C criteria) above the +25% minimum guideline. Earnings rose +73% in the Mar '15 quarter and +27% in the Jun '15 quarter versus the year ago periods. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong after a downturn in FY '11. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of C. Its small supply of only 8.3 million shares (S criteria) in the float may contribute to greater price volatility. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 200 in Dec '14 to 246 in Sep '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

Y - Finished above its new pivot point cited based on its 10/09/15 high plus 10 cents, but volume behind the gain fort a new high today was below the minimum guideline. Fundamentals remain strong. Volume must be at least +40% above average behind gains above a stock's pivot point to trigger a proper technical buy signal. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
