Major Indices Fell But Healthy Leadership Remains

Stocks finished mostly lower on Wednesday. The Dow was up 2 points to 19123. The S&P 500 lost 5 points to 2198 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 56 points to 5323. Volume totals on Wednesday were up from the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by more than a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. Leadership improved slightly as there were 74 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 66 on the prior session. New 52-week highs still solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.

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.  ThFeatured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.

The major averages fluctuated throughout the session following an OPEC deal to cut crude production. Early Wednesday, OPEC members reached an agreement to reduce oil production to 32.5 million barrels a day, its first cut in eight years. Oil prices climbed higher amid the news with NYMEX WTI crude rallying 9.3% to $49.44/barrel. On the data front, an ADP report showed that 216,000 workers were added to private payrolls in November, above analyst estimates of 170,000. Separately, pending home sales increased 0.1% in October.

Eight of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory. Technology stocks declined with Nutanix (NTNX -6.13%) fell after posting a wider-than-expected quarterly loss. Autodesk (ADSK -3.52%) fell as the software maker provided disappointing fourth-quarter outlook. In Financials, Fannie Mae (FNMA +45.78%) and Freddie Mac (FMCC +45.36%) both blasted higher amid reports that Steve Mnuchin, nominee for Treasury Secretary, stated the GSEs cannot be government owned. Energy shares advanced 4.8% amid the OPEC deal. Exxon Mobil (XOM +1.63%) and Chevron (CVX 2.03%) rose.

Treasuries retreated with the benchmark 10-year note down 24/32 to yield 2.37%. In commodities, COMEX gold lost 1.4% to $1171.20/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index gained 0.5%.

Pullback Following Volume-Driven Gain For New Highs

Drew Industries Inc (DW -$1.25 or -1.18% to $105.10) pulled back today with near average volume. On the prior session it had finished strong after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/28/16 high in the mid-day report (read here). Its big gain for new all-time high was backed by +87% above average volume, clinching a technical buy signal. Recent gains clearing a "double bottom" base had lacked volume above the +40% above average minimum guideline.

The high ranked Building - Mobile/Manufacturing & RV firm rebounded after finding support well above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line in recent weeks. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 311 in Dec '15 to 408 in Sep '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A, but a Sponsorship Rating of D at present. 

Recently it reported Sep '16 quarterly earnings +70% on +19% sales revenues, marking its 4th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its strong annual earnings (A criteria) history matches the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 10/25/16 high plus 10 cents. There was a "breakaway gap" on the prior session, powering to new 52-week highs with considerable volume-driven gains. A breakaway gap is one noted exception to the rule that investors should not chase a stock more than +5% above prior highs, however, risk increases the further above the pivot point one buys any stock. Strong sales revenues and earnings increases in quarterly comparisons through Sep '16 match the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines. Found support near prior lows in the $42 area and wedged higher after last noted in the 10/26/16 mid-day report - "Patient investors may watch for a sound new base or secondary buy point to possibly develop and be noted in the weeks ahead."
