Leadership Expands as Major Indices Extend Rally
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow jumped 211 points, finishing within striking distance of the 29,000 level at 28,956. The S&P 500 rose 0.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.8%. Advancers led decliners by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 96 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 78 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and easily outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in a "confirmed uptrend" after enduring distributional pressure in recent weeks. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index hit another new record high.
The major averages finished at record highs on Thursday, as easing tensions in the Middle East and positive trade headlines lifted risk sentiment. China announced plans for its top trade delegation, which includes Vice Premier Liu He, to travel to Washington next week in order to sign the “phase one” accord.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors ended the session in positive territory. Technology shares paced the gains, with Apple (AAPL +2.12%) up following reports of increased iPhone shipments to China. Financials also outperformed, with Goldman Sachs (GS +2.04%) rose after being the subject of an analyst upgrade. In other corporate news, Boeing (BA +1.50%) rose amid speculation the downed 737-800 in Iran was mistakenly struck by an anti-aircraft missile system. Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY -19.22%) slumped after posting a surprise loss during the last quarter. Costco (COST +1.61%) rose after its December comparable-store sales figure topped analyst estimates.
On the data front, initial jobless claims came in at 214,000 in the most recent week, below the prior 222,000 figure. The update comes ahead of tomorrow’s monthly jobs report, which is anticipated to show the U.S. economy added 160,000 jobs in December. Treasuries modestly strengthened with the yield on the 10-year note off one basis point to 1.85%. In commodities, WTI crude dipped 0.1% to $59.56/barrel, giving up all of its gains following the U.S. killing of an Iranian general. COMEX gold retreated 0.5% to $1,552.40/ounce.

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Oil Services Index ($OSX 0.91%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.87%) posted solid gains.

The tech sector was led higher by the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.60%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.60%) while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.17%) finished slightly in the red. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.16%) was a standout decliner.
PICTURED: The Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.87%) graph shows it consolidating above its 50-day and 200-day moving average lines which have made a positive convergence, termed a "golden cross" by some technical analysts.

Perched at All-Time High After Gains Lacking Great Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Lululemon Athletica (LULU-$1.37 or -0.58% to $235.90) reversed into the red today after recently wedging to new all-time highs with gains lacking great volume conviction. It is very extended from any sound base. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($221.02) and prior low ($218.18 on 12/12/19) define important near-term support levels to watch on pullbacks. LULU was last shown in this FSU section was on 12/17/19 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Retreated From High After Another Strong Earnings Report". It reported earnings +28% on +23% sales revenues for the Oct '19 quarter. LULU has reported 8 consecutive quarterly earnings comparisons above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). It currently has a 96 Earnings Per Share Rating. Its Timeliness rating is A and Sponsorship rating is C. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,041 in Jun '18 to 1,443 in Sep '19, a good sign concerning the I criteria. It has a new CEO as of 8/20/18. LULU was first featured in yellow at $23.83 (split adjusted after 2:1 split effective 7/21/11) in the October 8, 2010 mid-day report (read here) and it traded up as much as +163.7% in a little more than 9 months. As previously noted - "In a bullish market, many high-ranked leaders offer multiple opportunities to accumulate their shares under the fact-based system's strict guidelines. Patience may often allow another ideal base or secondary buy point to possibly develop and be noted." Charts courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

Y - Consolidating near its 50 DMA line ($29.58) after meeting resistance at its 52-week high. Subsequent gains and a strong close above the new pivot point cited based on its 11/06/19 high plus 10 cents may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Prior low ($28.16 on 12/03/19) defines the next important support level.

Fundamentals remain strong, however, its Relative Strength Rating of 79 is just below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates.
