Major Indices Fell With Higher Volume While Leadership Thinned
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 5.0%, snapping a 10-session winning streak. The S&P 500 lost 3.5%, while the Dow slumped 807 points. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of distributional pressure or increased selling from the institutional crowd. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 4-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership contracted abruptly as there were only 12 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 102 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it remains ever-important to see substantial new highs totals.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index suffered an abrupt loss on Thursday, marking its worst session since June 11th.
U.S. Stocks suffered their largest selloff since June Thursday amid a retreat in Technology stocks. Elsewhere, the CBOE Volatility Index, commonly referred to as Wall Streets “fear gauge,” rose 25.5% on the day to its highest level since July.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors finished the session in negative territory, led by a 5.8% decline in Information Technology stocks. Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, and Facebook shed more than $500 billion in combined market cap, with investors citing lofty valuations and the recent surge in mega-cap stocks as a possible rationale for the rout. Meanwhile, travel stocks bucked the downtrend with Carnival Corp (CCL +5.21%) and United Airlines (UAL +1.38%) rose.
Economic data was also in focus, with a report showing initial jobless claims fell below 1 million for the second time since mid-March. A separate update from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) showed services sector activity expanded at a slightly slower pace in August compared with the prior month. Investors received an encouraging update on the COVID front, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gave guidance for states to prepare for vaccine distribution as soon as November.
Treasuries rallied amid the perceived “risk off” sentiment, sending the yield on the 10-year note down two basis points to 0.63%. Commodities were mostly lower, WTI crude falling 0.4% to $41.35/barrel and COMEX gold easing 0.3% to $1938.00/ounce. |

Pulling Back After Best Ever Close on Tuesday
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Netflix Inc (NFLX -$27.09 or -4.90% to $525.75) pulled back today with +15% above average volume. A new pivot point cited based on its 7/13/20 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. It found support near its 50 DMA line ($498) on consolidations during its ongoing ascent. More damaging losses woud raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. NFLX was last shown in this FSU section on 8/18/20 with an annotated graph under the headline,"50-Day Moving Average Acted As Support Level". Fundamentals remain strong. NFLX has been consolidating after reporting Jun '20 earnings +165% on +25% sales revenues versus the year ago period. It has tallied 4 consecutive quarterly comparisons well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). It has traded up as much as +46.2% since it was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/03/20 high plus 10 cents in the 4/13/20 mid-day report (read here). A previously noted downturn in FY '15 earnings (A criteria) has been followed by very strong growth. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares (I criteria) rose from 1,534 in Mar '17 to 2,774 in Jun '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its 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 company has 423.4 million shares in the public float (S criteria) which can make it a less likely sprinter. It has a Timeliness rating of A, a Sponsorship rating of B, and an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of C+. Charts courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

Recently reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings -3% on +4% sales revenues, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), but better than expected while the company also raised its guidance.
