5 Stocks Hitting News Highs

Today I used Barchart to sort the stocks hitting new highs that traded more than 100K shares and then sorted for frequency.  I chose the stocks hitting the most highs in the last month.  Remember there are only 20 trading sessions in a month.  My list includes Yahoo! (YHOO), Chemtura (CHMT),  CVR Energy (CVI), Pilgrim's Pride (PPC), and United Therapeutics (UTHR):

Yahoo! (YHOO)


  • 96% Barchart technical buy signal
  • Trend Spotter buy signal
  • Above its 20, 50 and 100 day moving averages
  • 16 new highs and up 11.40% in the last month
  • Relative Strength Index 79.24%
  • Barchart computes  a technical support level at 18.33
  • Recently traded at 18.57 with a 50 day moving average of 16.54

  • Above its 20, 50 and 100 day moving averages
  • 14 new highs and up 22.70% in the last month
  • Relative Strength Index 78.16%

  • Barchart computes a technical support level at 6.24
  • Recently traded at 6.64 with a 50 day moving average of 5.30
United Therapeutics (UTHR)

Special Comments:  Normally this is not a stock that would come under my radar because all of the reasons it showed up on my screening was it's very short term momentum.  The momentum however can't be ignored.  The short time frame makes this stock the most speculative on the list.


  • 60 % Barchart short term buy signal
  • Trend Spotter sell signal but the signal is weakening
  • Above its 20 and 50 day moving averages but slightly below its 100 day moving average
  • 13 new highs and up .47% in the last month
  • Relative Strength Index 61.64%
  • Barchart computes a technical support level at 51.98
  • Recently traded at 53.53 with a 50 day moving average of 53.45

Barchart Morning Call 11/21


Overnight Developments
  • Dec E-mini S&Ps this morning are slightly higher by +0.05%. The markets this morning are generally taking in stride the inability of Eurozone finance ministers to reach a final agreement on the Greek bailout program and the lack of a Israel-Gaza cease-fire agreement as yet. European stocks are up +0.17%. The big Asian stock markets rallied sharply today with Japan closing +0.87%, Hong Kong closing +1.39%, and China closing +1.39%. Commodity prices are up +0.10% this morning with Jan crude oil up +0.76%, Jan gasoline up +0.92%, Dec gold up +0.08%, Dec copper down -0.36%, and agriculture prices trading mostly higher. The dollar index is slightly higher by +0.06% and EUR/USD is down -0.10%. USD/JPY is up +0.71%.
  • Eurozone finance ministers failed to produce an agreement on the Greek bailout program even after a marathon 12-hour meeting. Finance ministers will meet again on Monday (Nov 26) and intend to produce an agreement at that meeting. Eurozone finance ministers were unable to come up with enough money as yet to plug the hole of about 30 billion euros in Greece's budget deficit through 2016 that opened up when Eurozone officials gave Greece an extra two years to meet its deficit targets. Eurozone officials are trying to plug the hole without going back to their national parliaments for more bailout money and without writing down existing debt.
  • There has yet to be a cease-fire on the Israel-Gaza conflict. U.S. Secretary of State Clinton today will continue her shuttle diplomacy in the region.
  • Japan's Oct exports fell -6.5% y/y, which was weaker than market expectations of -4.9% y/y though better than Sep's -10.3% y/y. Japan's exports have been hurt by its dispute with China over the islands in the East China Sea and by general weakness in the global economy. Japan's adjusted merchandise trade deficit of -624 billion yen was wider than market expectations of -492 billion yen.
  • The UK budget deficit in October of 8.6 billion pounds was wider than market expectations of 6 billion pounds and was higher than last year's 5.9 billion pounds. The higher deficit was due to a 7.4% increase in spending versus only a 1.8% increase in tax revenues due to the weak economy.
    Market Comments
    • Dec E-mini S&Ps this morning are slightly higher by +0.75 points (+0.05%) as the market looks ahead to today's slew of U.S. economic data. E-mini S&Ps have been able to shake off the bearish impact from the lack of a Eurozone finance minister agreement on Greek and the lack of an Israel-Gaza cease fire as yet. U.S. stocks on Tuesday closed little changed as a stronger-than-expected housing starts report was able to largely offset (1) some long liquidation pressure after Monday's sharp rally, and (2) the 12% plunge in Hewlett-Packard on news of a huge $8.8 billion write-down tied to bad acquisitions. Closes: S&P 500 +0.07%, Dow Jones -0.06%, Nasdaq -0.05%.
    • Dec 10-year T-notes this morning are down 2 ticks this morning on generally higher global stocks. Dec 10-year T-note prices on Tuesday closed moderately lower on the stronger-than-expected housing starts report and reduced safe-haven demand with the ability of stocks to hold Monday's sharp rally. Closes: TYZ2 -9.5, FVZ2 -4.
    • The dollar index this morning is slightly higher by +0.05 (+0.06%) and EUR/USD is down -0.0013 (-0.10%). USD/JPY is up +0.58 (+0.71%) on yen weakness tied to the poor Japanese export and trade report and expectations for the LDP to win December's general election. The dollar index on Tuesday closed slightly higher as the stock market spent most of the day on the defensive. EUR/USD closed little changed awaiting the outcome of the Eurozone finance ministers meeting on Greece. Closes: Dollar index +0.08 (+0.10%), EUR/USD +0.0003 (+0.02%), USD/JPY +0.27 (+0.33%).
    • Jan WTI crude oil prices this morning are up +0.66 (+0.76%) and Jan gasoline is up +0.2047 (+0.92%) on the lack of an Israel-Gaza cease-fire as yet. Dec crude oil and gasoline prices on Tuesday closed sharply lower on talk of a Israel-Hamas truce and news that the Hess Port Reading refinery ran at full rates for the first time since Sandy hit. Closes: CLF3 -2.53 (-2.83%), RBF3 -0.0437 (-1.60%). The market consensus for Wednesday's weekly DOE report is for a 1 million barrel increase in crude oil inventories, a 1 million barrel increase in gasoline inventories, a 1 million barrel decline in distillate inventories, and a 0.5 point increase in the refinery utilization rate.

Barchart Morning Call 11/20


Overnight Developments
  • Dec E-mini S&Ps are little changed this morning. The Euro Stoxx 50 index this morning is slightly lower by -0.15% and the large Asian stock markets closed mildly lower with Japan down -0.12%, Hong Kong down -0.16%, and China down -0.46%. The markets in part are awaiting developments from today's Eurozone finance ministers meeting on Greece. Israel has put its ground invasion of Gaza on hold while it waits to see if Egypt can convince Hamas to stop firing rockets into Israel. Commodity prices this morning are slightly lower by -0.10% with Jan crude oil down -0.19%, Jan gasoline down -0.56%, Dec gold down -0.02%, Dec copper down -0.17%, and agriculture prices mixed. The dollar index is slightly lower by -0.05%. Dec 10-year T-note prices are down 5.5 ticks.
  • The Bank of Japan at the 2-day meeting that concluded today left its monetary policy unchanged and did not raise its asset purchase target. The BOJ had already raised its asset purchase target in each of the last two months in September and October. Today's lack of action was in line with market expectations. The market is now expecting the BOJ to raise its target again at its meeting in December. The BOJ will come under increased pressure to ease if the opposition LDP party wins December's general election as expected since LDP leader Shinzo Abe recently called on the BOJ to engage in unlimited easing and to boost its inflation goal to 2% or 3% from the current 1%.
  • Chinese foreign direct investment fell -0.2% y/y to $8.31 billion, which was the eleventh decline in the last twelve months. The report indicated that foreign investors are pulling back from China due to slower economic growth and various administrative restrictions designed to rein in the economy and inflation.
  • Japan's Sep all-industry activity index fell -0.3% m/m, which was a bit stronger than the expected -0.5% decline.
  • Japan Oct nationwide department store sales fell -2.4% y/y, down from -0.2% y/y in Sep. Tokyo Oct department store sales fell -1.5% y/y versus the +0.7% y/y increase in September.
  • The German Oct producer price report of unch m/m and +1.5% y/y was slightly weaker than market expectations of +0.1% m/m and +1.6% y/y and was down from +0.3% m/m and +1.7% in Sep.
    Market Comments
    • Dec E-mini S&Ps this morning are slightly higher by +0.25 points (+0.02%) as the market pauses in the wake of yesterday's sharp rally. Global stocks are mildly lower this morning on balance. The stock market is looking ahead to today's housings starts report and the outcome of today's Eurozone finance ministers meeting regarding Greece. U.S. stocks on Monday rallied sharply on hopes for Eurozone approval of the Greek bailout tranche as soon as Tuesday and improved hopes for a fiscal cliff resolution, along with the stronger-than-expected U.S. existing home sales data and NAHB housing market index. Closes: S&P 500 +1.99%, Dow Jones +1.65%, Nasdaq +2.43%. The Nov NAHB housing market index rose sharply by 5 points to a 6-1/2 year high of 46, which was much stronger than market expectations of unchanged at 41. U.S. existing home sales rose +2.1% to 4.79 mln units, which was stronger than market expectations for a report of 4.74 million units.
    • Dec 10-year T-notes this morning are down 5.5 ticks as safe-haven demand continues to ebb. Dec 10-year T-note prices on Monday closed moderately lower on the stronger-than-expected housing market data and reduced safe-haven demand with the rally in stocks: Closes: TYZ2 -9, FVZ2 -3.25.
    • The dollar index this morning is slightly lower by -0.04 points (-0.05%). EUR/USD is virtually unchanged and USD/JPY is up +0.10 (+0.12%). The dollar index on Monday closed lower due to reduced safe-haven demand with the sharp upward rebound in the U.S. stock market. EUR/USD on Monday closed higher on hopes for Eurozone approval of the Greek bailout tranche and was able to shake off news of a downgrade in the French credit rating. Closes: Dollar index -0.38 (-0.47%), EUR/USD +0.0071 (+0.56%), USD/JPY +0.71 (+0.56%).
    • Jan WTI crude oil prices this morning are down -0.17 (-0.19%) and Jan gasoline is down -0.0152 (-0.56%) as the petroleum market runs into some long liquidation pressure after yesterday's rally. Dec crude oil and gasoline prices on Monday closed higher on (1) Middle East tensions with Israel on the verge of a ground invasion of Gaza, and (2) weakness in the dollar index and the rally in stocks: CLF3 +2.36 (+2.72%), RBZ2 +0.0502 (+1.87%). The market consensus for Wednesday's weekly DOE report is for a 1 million barrel increase in crude oil inventories, a 1 million barrel increase in gasoline inventories, a 1 million barrel decline in distillate inventories, and a 0.5 point increase in the refinery utilization rate.
