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.

Major Indices Fall as Distributional Pressure Hits Stocks Again
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The S&P 500 logged a 4.2% decline in April, the Nasdaq Composite registered a 4.4% loss for the month, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 5.0% lower this month. On Tuesday's session the Nasdaq Composite lost -2.0%, trailing the S&P 500 (-1.6%) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (-1.5%). Volume reported was higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of an increase in institutional selling pressure technically termed "distribution". Breadth was negative decliners led advancers by more than a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 33 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 31 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows 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 as long as the Day 1 low is not violated. Wednesday's session marks Day 8 of the rally attempt.

The Employment Cost Index for Q1 reflected a 1.2% increase in compensation costs versus expectations for a 1.0% increase. The fresh data added to recent worries about sticky inflation and about the Fed pushing back its rate cut timeline. The 2-yr note yield settled eight basis points higher at 5.05%. The 10-yr note yield settled seven basis points higher at 4.69%.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors finished lower. Eli Lilly (LLY +5.95%), Corning (GLW +5.03%), and 3M (MMM +4.72%) were exceptional gainers following pleasing earnings results. The latest FOMC policy announcement is due Wednesday followed by Fed Chair Powell's press conference.

Found Support at 50-Day Moving Average Line and Hit New High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Transdigm Group Inc (TDG -$10.69 or -0.85% to $1,248.03) churned above average volume and ended with a small loss. It found prompt support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line during a brief consolidation since last shown in the FSU section on 4/09/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume Totals Cooling While Perched Near High".

Keep in mind it is due to report Mar '24 quarterly results on 5/07/24. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. It reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +56% on +28% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 11th consecutive comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Growth has been very strong after a downturn in FY '20 and '21 (A criteria) hurt its earnings track record. It has an 91 Earnings Per Share Rating.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,332 in Dec '22 to 1,550 in Mar '24, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of 53.4 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and an Accumulation/Distribution rating of C-.
