Nasdaq and S&P 500 Indexes Rose While Dow Industrials Ended Lower

The S&P 500 settled 0.2% higher and the Nasdaq Composite closed up 0.8% The volume totals reported were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 33 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 25 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange for a second consecutive session. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Disciplined investors know that new buying efforts are only to be made in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.
