Indices Ended Session Mixed but Higher for the Week
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the week, the S&P 500 added 0.1% while the Dow gained 0.2%. The Nasdaq rose 0.5%. Stocks finished mixed Friday. The Dow lost 63 points to 25,106 while the S&P 500 added a point to 2,707. The Nasdaq Composite gained 9 points to 7,298. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners narrowly led advancers on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 24 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 17 on the prior session. New 52-week highs solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new highs narrowly outnumbered new lows on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend after recently noted improvements 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 Nasdaq Composite Index is consolidating below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line, still -10.3% below its record high.
The major averages fluctuated as strength in Technology shares balanced concerns of slowing global growth. A series of disappointing economic updates from the eurozone this week weighed on investor sentiment early in the session. Trade concerns also garnered attention after a report from the Wall Street Journal revealed the U.S. and China have yet to draft a preliminary trade deal ahead of another round of high-level talks next week. Additionally, President Trump confirmed he will not meet with Chinese President Xi prior to the March 1 deadline.
Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory with Consumer Staples stocks pacing gains. Technology was a notable outperformer with Motorola Solutions (MSI +14.12%) gapped up and hit a new 52-week high after reveling robust sales-growth guidance. In other earnings, chipmaker Qorvo (QRVO -3.04%) fell after posting weaker-than-anticipated revenue figures. Shares of Expedia Group (EXPE +2.29%) rose after the online-travel booking company topped analyst revenue forecasts.
Treasuries strengthened for the fourth consecutive session, with the yield on the 10-year note down two basis points to 2.63%. In commodities, WTI crude added 0.1% to $52.68/barrel. COMEX gold gained 0.3% to $1,313.00/ounce. |

Volume-Driven Gains Cleared Prior High After Double Bottom
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Irobot Corp (IRBT +$6.13 or +6.25% to $104.17) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/03/18 high after a "double bottom" base. It rallied toward its prior high with today's 3rd consecutive volume-driven gain triggering a technical buy signal. It still faces some resistance due to overhead supply up to the $118 level. It found support near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line during a choppy consolidation in recent months since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/10/18.
Fundamentals have remained strong as the Consumer Durables - Electronic Equipment firm showed earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the past 4 quarterly comparisons through Dec '18. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 347 in Mar '18 to 385 in Dec '18, and its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a C+ Accumulation/Distribution Rating, a Timeliness Rating of B, and Sponsorship rating of B. Its small supply of only 27.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. |

Y - Volume totals have been cooling while holding its ground near its all-time high. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may help clinch a proper technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line and recent low define near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

Y - Posted a small gain today with lighter volume after 2 losses with higher volume, action indicative of distributional pressure. Color code was changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/03/18 high. Faces resistance due to overhead supply up to the $161 level. Gain on 2/04/19 was backed by +48% above average volume while clearing a "double bottom" base. Reported earnings +86% on +50% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter. Three of the past 4 quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria).
