Major Indices Showed More Mixed Action
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow fell 219 points, while the S&P 500 lost 0.7%. Both benchmarks posted their first weekly decline in three weeks, with the Dow retreating 0.7% and the S&P 500 ticking down 0.8%. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.4%, paring its weekly advance to 0.2%. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was mixed with a slightly negative bias on the NYSE and slightly positive bias on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 41 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 24 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals ex[panded and easily outnumbered new 52-week lows totals. The major indices confirmed a new uptrend (M criteria) with recent follow-through gains backed by higher volume and more leadership. Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions based based on the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.  PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is perched at its record high.
Stocks ended firmly lower on Friday, as investors continued to weigh rising COVID cases against the possibility of a near-term vaccine. Pfizer filed with the FDA for an emergency-use permit for its Covid-19 vaccine, becoming the first company to do so. Meanwhile, the U.S. reported a record number of new infections on Thursday, and logged a tenth-straight day of record-high hospitalizations.
A disagreement between the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve also garnered attention. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told the Fed that their lending programs funded by the CARES Act would expire on December 31. The central bank pushed back on the decision, noting the programs served as an important backstop. There were no economic data releases of note on Friday. Treasuries advanced, with the yield on the 10-year note down two basis points to 0.83%. In commodities, WTI crude extended its advance, rising for a third consecutive week.
Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory, with the Utilities group narrowly bucking the downtrend. Technology shares underperformed, losing more than 1%. In corporate news, Workday (WDAY -8.8%) fell after beating Wall Street sales projections but issuing tepid forward guidance amid the lingering effects of COVID. Software maker Intuit (INTU -3.6%) fell despite topping on the top and bottom line and providing forward guidance above projections. |

Y - Suffered a volume-driven loss today testing support at its 50 DMA line ($21.74). More damaging losses would raise concerns. It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/09/20 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report. It has formed an advanced "ascending base" marked by 3 pullbacks of 10-20% after a big breakaway gap on 7/24/20. Subsequent gains above the pivot point marked by +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Reported earnings +57% on +14% sales revenues for the Sep '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive quarterly earnings comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has improved after a downturn in FY '17. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

Prior quarterly comparisons were near or above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong, a good match with the fact-based investment system."
