Breadth Positive as Leadership Expands Behind Rally
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished firmly higher Tuesday. The Dow added 372 points to 25,425 while the S&P 500 climbed 34 points to 2,744. The Nasdaq Composite gained 106 points to 7,414. The volume totals were higher than the prior session on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of increasing institutional buying demand. Advancers led decliners by a 3-1 on the NYSE and by nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 49 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 43 on the prior session. New 52-week highs expanded and solidly outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line, still -5.7% below its record high.
All three major averages rallied more than 1.2% amid rising optimism surrounding U.S. and Chinese trade relations. Earlier, President Trump said that he may extend the March 1st tariff deadline if a deal with China appears close. This comes ahead of high-level negotiations later this week in Beijing. Stocks were also buoyed following reports that Congress reached a tentative agreement to avoid a partial government shutdown. On the data front, a release showed the NFIB small business optimism index fell to a two-year low in January. A separate update revealed U.S. job openings jumped to a record high of 7.3 million in December.
Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory. Materials paced gains with shares of DowDuPont (DWDP +2.62%) finishing the session up. Consumer Discretionary shares also outperformed with Under Armour (UAA +6.88%) rising after the athletic apparel maker topped Wall Street profit and sales expectations. In other corporate news, shares of Coty (COTY +12.53%) surged amid reports European conglomerate JAB offered to increase its stake in the company to as much as 60%.
Treasuries weakened with the yield on the 10-year note up two basis points to 2.68%. In commodities, WTI crude jumped 1.3% to $53.09/barrel. COMEX gold added 0.2% to $1309.20/ounce amid a weaker dollar. |

Near High After Third Consecutive Gain with Light Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Trade Desk Inc Cl A (TTD (+$4.08 or +2.74% to $152.98) is perched within close striking distance of its all-time high. The high-ranked Comml Svcs-Advertising firm posted a third consecutive small gain with lighter volume after 2 losses with higher volume. It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/03/18 high in the 2/06/19 mid-day report (read here). It faces little resistance due to overhead supply up to the $161 level. Its gain on 2/04/19 was backed by +48% above average volume while clearing a "double bottom" base and triggering a technical buy signal.
Recently it 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). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong, and it has a 97 Earnings Per Share Rating.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 280 in Mar '18 to 459 in Dec '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. There are only 43.2 million shares outstanding Scirieria) which can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Gains and a strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to clinch a proper technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($90.34) and prior low define near-term support to watch on pullbacks. Fundamentals remain strong.

Y - Pulled back today for a 5th consecutive loss with higher volume. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong. The 200 DMA line acted as support above the prior low and it has rebounded since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 12/19/18.
