Weekly Commentary

The markets made only modest gains this week. The indexes plunged on Thursday as stimulus measures by the European Central Bank fell below expectations but recovered most of the losses on Friday in reaction to a strong employment report. Overall the economy is looking stronger with gains in construction spending (1%), Factory Orders (1.5%), Mortgage Applications (up 30% year-on-year) and unemployment claims trending down (source: Succinct Summation of Week's Events). It now seems certain that a small rate increase will result from the next FOMC meeting on 15-16 December.

The NASDAQ Composite receded from a breakout of the cup and handle pattern that I drew attention to in the last newsletter. IF Friday's strength continues into next week, then we may see another attempt to breakthrough the new resistance level at 5176.

Weekly Breakout Report

Cup and Handle pattern stocks returned to lead the number of breakouts this week.

New Features This Week
No new features this week although a couple of bug fixes deserve a mention. Chart Browser: This was broken since I made the watchlist pages responsive. It is now functioning again and is a great way to rapidly scan through the charts of stocks selected by your watchlist filters. Database Search: This function does not work in the Chrome browser since Google stopped support for JAVA due to security concerns. However, it does work in Firefox. There was a bug that threw a database error that I fixed yesterday

Top Tip of the Week
Search our Database to Find Quality CAN SLIM^\AE Stocks Are you looking for stocks that meet a specific set of CAN SLIM^\AE criteria but which may not currently be on any of our watchlists. If so, then our database search may be the answer for you. Each day we recalculate all our metrics for all common US stocks (typically around 6,000). You can select stocks that meet any technical or fundamental metric the CAN SLIM^\AE investor could wish for, regardless of whether it meets our criteria for a particular watchlist. You do this through our database search function. The Database Search is accessed from the Mine for Candidates Menu option. There are two ways to search the database. You can either select one of our 'Top 100' lists or build a more selective set of criteria. *Select a Top 100 List* To select one of the top 100 lists, simply select one and click the Search Database button. These searches will return the 100 stocks with the highest technical score, fundamental score or CANTATA Evaluator (CE) score from our database. As an example, here are the top 10 stocks from our current Top 100 CE search. The display will open with the core analytical and technical data displayed. Clicking the 'Show Industry Analysis' or 'Show Fundamentals' will buttons will show that data also. Click a 'Hide' button to reduce the display width to fit within your monitor. *More Selective Search* To be more selective, first choose a group of stocks to search on: Then choose a set of selection criteria, you can search by Zone, Technical Criteria, Fundamental Criteria, or any combination thereof. For example, most breakouts come from stocks in zone 4-3 (that means top technicals and moderately strong fundamentals). To select stocks in Zone 4-3 just click the zone diagram as shown: Finally, choose a sort criterion and click the database search button. The search will return the top 50 stocks meeting the search criteria. Here are the top 10 that the search would display today. Note: This function will not work in the Chrome browser.
