TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Last Wednesday's gains with higher volume and greater leadership marked a follow-through day confirming a new uptrend. New buying efforts may be made based on the (M criteria) of the fact-based investment system. Disciplined investors know to only buy stocks meeting all key criteria.

Breadth Negative but Volume Lighter as Major Indices Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow lost 198 points (0.6%), while the S&P 500 shed 0.6% with seven of 11 sectors finishing in negative territory. The Nasdaq Composite lost 0.5%. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, action indicative of less selling or "distributuinal pressure" from the institutional crowd. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 30 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 28 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but on the Nasdaq exchange new 52-week lows swelled and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs. The major indices are in a new confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Appropriate new buying efforts may be considered under the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is quietly consolidating after rebounding near its February high. The tech heavy index has made steady progress since its 50-day moving average (DMA) line crossed above its 200-day moving average, a bullish technical signal termed a "golden cross".

U.S. equities finished lower Tuesday following today’s jobs data and amid a renewed rout in banking shares despite assurances from U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. In an interview this morning, Yellen said the banking turmoil is stabilizing, but U.S. regulators remain ready to act to protect deposits if needed.

On the data front today, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) showed job openings fell under 10 million in February to their lowest since May 2021. The larger than expected drop in vacancies suggests the labor market, which has remained resilient in the wake of the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) monetary policy, is beginning to soften. Meanwhile, factory orders fell 0.7% in February while durable goods orders declined 1%. Treasuries strengthened as investors digested the jobs data, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note down seven basis points (0.07%) to 3.34%, while the 30-year bond yield shed three basis points (0.03%) to 3.60%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, fell 14 basis points (0.14%) to 3.83%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude climbed 0.1% to $80.46/barrel as the production cuts from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies (OPEC+) outweighed concerns over oil demand.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -1.97%) is sputtering near the recent low after a horrid technical breakdown. Longtime members recognize that the weakness in financial stocks bodes poorly for the broader market outlook because the financials have been reliable "leading indicators".

Pullback With Higher Volume While Consolidating
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Comfort Systems U S A (FIX -$6.41 or -4.37% to $140.20) pulled back today with above-average volume, action indicative of distributional pressure. It has been consolidating well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($133.81) and the prior low ($132.56 on 3/24/23) defining important support to watch. Fundamentals remain strong.

FIX was highlighted in yellow in the 2/23/23 mid-day report (read here) with a pivot point cited based on its 11/23/22 high plus 10 cents. It broke out hitting a new 52-week high (N criteria) with volume +131% above average behind the gain, triggering a technical buy signal while rising from an orderly 3-month base. It was last shown in greater detail on 3/16/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating Above Support at Prior High and 50-Day Moving Average".

Bullish action came after it reported earnings +48% on +31% sales revenues for the Dec '22 quarter versus the year ago period, its 4th strong quarter above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earning history has been strong and steady. It has a 97 Earnings Per Share Rating.

It hails from the Building - A/C & Heating Products group which is currently ranked 30th on the 197 Industry Groups list. It has a small supply of only 35.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds that own its shares rose from 487 in Jun '22 to 561 in Dec '22, a reassuring sign regarding the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio is 1.7, an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
