Major Indices Posted Gains as New Highs Showed Slight Increase
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished higher Tuesday. The Dow climbed 256 points to 23,787 while the S&P 500 gained 24 points to 2,574. The Nasdaq Composite added 73 points to 6,897. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and more than a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained elusive as only 4 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from 3 on the prior session. There was an increase in new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. The newspaper reported that Friday's session was a follow-through day and the major indices are in a confirmed uptrend. Disciplined investors know that a proper follow-through day requires big gains from at least one of the major indices with higher volume and an expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new highs). New leadership was a critical missing element on Friday, however, additional confirmation on Monday and Tuesday has helped to signal a change in market direction (M criteria) back to a bullish stance. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is rebounding toward prior lows and it remains well below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.
The major averages advanced for the third consecutive session amid optimism on the trade front. Earlier, President Trump tweeted “talks with China are going very well”, while U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross commented yesterday that Beijing and Washington could reach a trade deal that "we can live with." On the data front, a report showed that the gauge for small business optimism climbed unexpectedly in December, but remains at the lowest level since 2016. In a separate release, the job opening and labor turnover survey (JOLTS) showed U.S. employers had 6.9 million openings in November, down from the prior month’s upwardly revised 7.1 million. An update on consumer credit showed Americans borrowed more-than-expected in November.
Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended higher. Communication Services outperformed with Facebook (FB +3.3%) rising. The oft-cited FAANG group helped boost markets, gaining 1.8% on the session. Industrials were lifted as Union Pacific (UNP +8.76%) rose after hiring an industry veteran as its COO.
Treasuries weakened with the yield on the 10-year note up four basis points to 2.73%. In commodities, WTI crude added 1.2% to $49.69/barrel, extending its longest rally since 2017. COMEX gold fell 0.3% to $1,286.30/ounce amid a stronger dollar. |

Perched Within Close Striking Distance of Prior High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Miller Industries Inc (MLR -$0.11 or -0.39% to $27.97) is consolidating above its closely coinciding 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines. Little resistance remains due to overhead supply up to the $29 level. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a technical buy signal. It encountered distributional pressure in recent weeks after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 8/10/18 high plus 10 cents in the 11/30/18 mid-day report (read here).
Disciplined investors will note that it did not produce the gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume needed to trigger a technical buy signal after last shown in this FSU section on 12/20/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Failed to Produce Buy Signal and Deterioration Raised Concern".
It reported earnings +95% on +28% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter. Recent quarterly comparisons have been above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) and, sequentially, showed encouraging sales revenues acceleration. Annual earnings history (A criteria) has also been good. Very small supply of only 11.4 million shares outstanding (A criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 196 in Mar '18 to 226 in Sep '18, a reassuring sign. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days. It has earned an A Timeliness rating and a C Sponsorship Rating.
