MARKET SUMMARY
- NASDAQ, SOX find large cap strength and lead higher.
- Big NASDAQ names, FAANG breakout of consolidations, attempting to assume
leadership once again.
- Tax plan leaves small and midcaps mostly out in the cold.
- Jobs report is not good in most respects but the manufacturing jobs
continue to impress and belie the prior administration's claims those jobs
were gone for good.
- Now we see if FAANG and company actually will lead.
The past week solidified more of a turn from the small and midcaps to the
large cap NASDAQ stocks. Not that the small and midcaps rolled over; no,
they are still testing good moves. What we saw, however, was a return to
some of the big names in FAANG and other large cap NASDAQ stocks that led
the market higher into mid-summer, then spent 3 to 4 to 5 months
consolidating in trading ranges. This earnings season broke them out of
their consolidations and they are testing the move (FB, MSFT) and in some
cases already starting back upside after the test (AVGO, AMZN, GOOG, TXN).
That helped push the indices higher with emphasis on SOX and NASDAQ while
SP500, DJ30 put in steady advances up the 10 day EMA. SP400 and RUTX did
not do much; SP400 continued a choppy move up the 10 day EMA while RUTX
continued a very volatile pullback around the 20 day EMA.
SP500 7.99, 0.31%
NASDAQ 49.50, 0.74%
DJ30 22.93, 0.10%
SP400 0.25%
RUTX -0.11%
SOX 1.77%
VOLUME: NYSE -10%, NASDAQ -3%. Above average volume on NASDAQ as it surged
to a new high. Volume faded to just above average on NYSE as it posted a
new high.
ADVANCE/DECLINE: NYSE -1.1:1; NASDAQ -1.02:1. It was all the large caps on
Friday. All large caps.
The tax proposal may still help small business and thus move RUTX and SP400
up out of their tests, but in reviewing the proposed tax plan the small
business pass-through tax treatment is rather complex (so much for the
postcard tax form Ryan touted) and is not as generous as that paid out to
the big C corporations. So, I guess you form a C corp to try and get the
20% rate (and have to worry about double taxation) or just take a modest tax
cut on the uppermost income the business makes and try to cram it into what
they consider 'capital income' and the 25% rate versus 'wage income' at the
39.6% rate. As the movie starring Alec Baldwin and Meryl Streep was titled,
"It's Complicated." Oh that is rich: more complex and not that much, if any
benefit.
But, I digress. The key for the market was the big name FAANG and other
NASDAQ stocks broke out from their consolidations/trading ranges. They look
as if they are ready to take back some leadership.
The key to any rally is a continued stream of leadership. These big names
led into the summer, small caps and midcaps took over along with industrial
names of all market caps, chips were in their own world as they rotated
among themselves higher and higher, and now the big names are back in the
leadership mix. Along the way China stocks led, biotechs made good
leadership moves, but then faded back in many cases. All of that is
rotation as some fall while others pick up the slack. That is healthy for
the market.
Throw into this that there are some potential new areas working upside, e.g.
new entries shaping up in retail, some telecom showing life, oil making some
moves -- and you have even more potential leaders or at least supporting
roles setting up to try and add to the upside.
Thus, though the stock market's rally seems rather implausible in that it is
still going after avoiding the traditional September and October weakness,
with the reemergence of the big names it appears the stock indices could
rally into yearend even without that traditional early fall selloff. A
tightening but gradual Fed, lower regulation making a difference (as seen in
the productivity numbers), still tax reform hope are all still driving
upside momentum.
NEWS/ECONOMY
Yes there was a jobs report Friday but it was an afterthought, something
that did not inhibit the action and would not unless it was too extreme one
way or the other. As it was the report was not that great. That was okay
for the market; I guess it assumed the Fed would be held to its prior
schedule.
October Jobs Report
Non-farm Jobs: 261K vs 300K vs 18K (from -33K); Aug revised up 39K, so 99K
jobs added back the 2 prior months.
Unemployment: 4.1 vs 4.2 vs 4.2. But, it was an exodus from the workforce
that caused the drop. Very similar to the Obama years; want to lower
unemployment, lower the number of workers. Magic.
Wages: 0.0 vs 0.1 vs 0.5 prior. Terrible wage performance in terms of the
drop off. Just no consistency.
Participation: 62.7%. Labor force -765K; total out of work force -968K.
'Yewge' drop out from the workforce with now a new record 95.385M people are
out of the work force.
Food and Drink: +89K
Biz Professional +50K
Manufacturing +24K. This is still pretty amazing as the percentage of
manufacturing jobs and not just the total number is WAY above the Obama
years when we were told thee jobs were gone for good. Hmm.
Retail -8400. Wow this happened relatively fast did it not? From being one
of the leading hiring groups to bleeding jobs the past six months.
Mining -2000. Back to negative after some gains.
THE MARKET
CHARTS
SOX: The past two Fridays saw chips scream upside. The prior week it was
earnings from INTC, TXN. This past Friday it was QCOM and AVGO as they
screamed higher on word AVGO may acquire QCOM. So AVGO came back to the US
with a lot of fanfare in order to buy QCOM? Hmm.
NASDAQ: Also a big mover over the Fridays with a general trend higher in
between. Rising above the 10 day EMA as NASDAQ looks impressive, not
surprising given the breakouts in the large caps on their earnings.
SP500: New closing high as it continues rising up the 10 day EMA. Not a
huge move but is working through its volatility, keeping the move higher
going.
DJ30: A slower week after leading the move two weeks back, still trending
up the 10 day EMA but letting others take the lead.
RUTX: Holding near the 20 day EMA in now the fifth week of pullback, and
struggling with a lot of volatility. The sellers and buyers are still
evenly matched as RUTX trades in big intraday ranges but holds its near
support.
SP400: Volatile as well, but working up the 10 day EMA nonetheless. Not as
volatile as RUTX and it is also maintaining its uptrend while it bounces
around intraday.
LEADERSHIP
FAANG: AMZN started back up after the test of its earnings report breakout.
FB showing a nice doji test of its break higher. AAPL gapped upside on its
earnings. GOOG continued higher on still not much volume. NFLX just
sliding modestly higher along the 10 day EMA.
Semiconductors: The potential AVGO/QCOM deal had the group very excited as
those stocks surged. AVGO was already better on the AAPL earnings as was
SWKS. ON, BRKS still moving higher as did TXN. MU remains solid. Some
wild moves, e.g. COHU sold off hard then reversed to hold its trend. QRVO
is interesting and some of the solar stocks such as JASO, FSLR look good.
Software: Tested more on the week e.g. VMW, but CRM moved higher on the
week. FFIV still looks as if it could move upside and CALD did blast
higher. DATA was a big disappointment on its earnings.
Oil: Some good setups again, but will they move? DO testing its earnings
move, SN looks really good to move higher. ESV, DVN and others look good.
Financial: Overall testing the moves, holding at the 10 day EMA, e.g. JPM,
BAC, though they are getting ready to move.
Retail: WMT continues higher. AMZN started to bounce from its test. CONN
looks ready to bounce. TLRD still in a nice test. Some very solid, some
not, some trying to hang on, e.g. HD.
Machinery/Manufacturing: Started cracking as EMR, TEX, CMI really struggled
on the week. CAT, HOLI still nice.
Telecom: setting up in some key names. CAMP looks very good. GLW in a cup
with handle after a surge two weeks back.

Bulls and Bears: Bulls continue rising for the fourth week over 60.0 and
bears fall to lows not seen since 2014 and 2015. 60+ has been a governor on
market rises, but it is not an immediate cause and effect. In other words,
you hit the levels, but the market can continue to rally.
Bulls: 63.5 versus 62.3
Bears: 14.4 versus 15.1
Theory: When everyone is bullish and has put all their capital to work,
where does the ammunition to drive the market come from? There is always
new money to start a new year. After that is used will more money be
coming? That is the question.

now trying the breakout.
Gold: 1269.20, -8.90. Still trying to get off the second bottom at the 200
day SMA.
MONDAY
A huge week of data and decisions and earnings, and now another week of
earnings as the season, similar to professional basketball, seems
interminable.
As noted in the opening, despite all the data and the Fed intrigue and
earnings, it is the action in the NASDAQ large caps that held the week's
key. Earnings certainly aided: these stocks were set to move and the
earnings helped them make the breaks. Good tests have them set to move
higher. We picked up some FB Friday, looking at AMZN this week, and still
looking at GOOG as well.
Other big names in chips, software, even drugs worked and we let positions
run, picked up new ones, and plan on picking up more.
Yes that sounds bullish, and with sentiment over 60.0 for a month, that is a
bit worrisome. The market, however, keeps rotating and finding new
leadership or should I say recycled leadership in the case of the NASDAQ
large caps and FAANG? It appears that way.
That keeps us looking for upside plays -- with a smattering of downside here
and there in those sectors that were leading but are in the process of
testing.
There is news this weekend as Saudi Arabia, under its new prince, cleans
house in what is described as fighting corruption. That has Prince CNBC
(Alwaleed Bin Talal) arrested on corruption charges. Saudi also said it
intercepted a missile from Yemen aimed at one of Saudi's airfields near its
capitol. Maybe that means something, but it won't to this market.
Plenty of bullishness for certain, but as I noted last week again after
discussing it over a month ago, all of those billionaire money managers that
so loudly proclaimed they were out of the market because it was surely ready
to crash those that followed their advice are being forced back into the
market. That provides the fuel to continue the move because their billions
are now what helps drive the market higher.
Have a great weekend!
