TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Since Wednesday April 10th members of FACTBASEDINVESTING.COM were cautioned as a shift in conditions (M criteria) signaled a market "correction". Use greater caution, raise cash and reduce exposure by selling any weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis. New buying efforts will be avoided by disciplined investors until a solid follow-through day is noted confirming a new uptrend.

Majoe Indices Rose With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

On Friday's session the Nasdaq Composite Index rose +2.03% while the S&P 500 Index rose +1.02%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose +0.40%. Volume reported was lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing lackluster buying demand from the institutional crowd. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-3 margin 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 17 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows still outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices recently signaled a market correction (M criteria). Greater caution is important for all investors until a follow-through day signals a new confirmed uptrend.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index remains below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. The window remains open for a follow-through day a as long as the Day 1 low is not violated.

A big earnings-related gain in Alphabet (GOOG +9.97%) provided a boost to the broader market. Microsoft (MSFT +1.82%) posted a smaller gain after earnings. Intel (INTC -9.20%) was an exception after reporting disappointing quarterly results, meanwhile NVIDIA (NVDA +6.18%) jumped.

Six of the S&P 500 sectors closed higher and five fell. The communication services sector led while the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors were the next best performers. The energy sector was among the weakest performers with a loss in Exxon Mobil (XOM -2.78%) after its earnings report.

The March Personal Income and Spending report showed solid spending activity but stalled progress on inflation. The final reading of the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment survey for April (actual 77.2) showed a weakening from the preliminary reading and an uptick in inflation expectations.

The 10-yr note yield declined four basis points to 4.67% and the 2-yr note yield settled unchanged at 5.00%.

Retail, Tech, and Broker/Dealer Index Led Group Gainers
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Retail Index ($RLX +2.36%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.03%), and Bank Index ($BKX +0.28%) each rose and had a positive impact on the major indices. The tech sector also had a positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.61%) outpaced the Networking Index ($NWX +1.47%) and the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.76%). The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.06) outpaced the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.26%) while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.38%) ended slightly lower.

PICTURED: The Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.26%) has recently been finding support above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines which have nearly converged.

Trading in Tight Range Near High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

U.S. Lime & Minerals (USLM +$6.20 or +2.06% to $307.44) has been consolidating in a tight range near its all-time high. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($285) and prior lows define near-term support to watch. During the ongoing market correction (M criteria) greater caution is important for all investors. New buying efforts should be avoided until a follow-through day signals a new confirmed uptrend.

USLM has a highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. It reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +57% on +13% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Its prior quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong, a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. The thinly traded firm has only 5.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

USLM was highlighted in yellow in the 2/09/24 mid-day report (read here) and last shown in this FSU section on 4/05/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Gain With Light Volume for Best Ever Close". The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 192 in Mar '23 to 227 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
