TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

The market remains in a correction (M criteria).  Reducing market exposure and raising cash is prudent until a new confirmed rally is noted. 


Major Indices Sputtered and Rebounded From Deeper Lows

The S&P 500 eased 0.1%, trimming intraday losses that had pushed the index within striking distance of bear market territory (defined as a 20% slide from a recent high). The Dow lost 103 points, on course for a seventh consecutive weekly decline which would be its longest such losing streak since 2001. The Nasdaq Composite reversed earlier losses to finish just above the flat line, but remains 29.2% below its November 19 peak. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the NYSE but decliners led advancers by about a 6-5 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There was 1 high-ranked company from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and was listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 2 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and solidly outnumbered shorter lists of new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchangeThe major indices are still in a market correction (M criteria). Followers of the fact-based investment system know to watch for a follow-through day on Day 4-7 of a new rally attempt which could signal a new confirmed uptrend.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index slumped to a new 2022 low, falling near March 2021 levels. It is down -18.4% from the January 1, 2022 record high.

U.S. stocks weathered another volatile session on Thursday as investors continued to parse elevated inflation readings. The Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 0.5% in April, in-line with estimates and below the prior 1.6% advance. Year-over-year prices rose a larger-than-expected 11.0% during the period. Yesterday, a closely-watched report showed consumer prices climbed a hotter-than-expected 8.3% year-over-year in April, hovering near a four-decade high. Components of the release highlighted the persistence of a broad array of underlying price pressures, bolstering expectations for a more aggressive path of Federal Reserve rate hikes. A perceived risk off mood pushed a gauge of the U.S. dollar up 0.9% to a fresh 20-year high. Treasuries also caught a bid, with the 10-year note yield down four basis points (0.04%) to 2.87%, on track to have declined 26 basis points (0.26%) for the week.

Information Technology stocks underperformed with Apple Inc. (AAPL -2.69%) slumping, now down more than -20% from an all-time high. In earnings, Walt Disney Co. (DIS -0.86%) fell after the media giant posted profit and revenue below consensus estimates and lowered its growth expectations for the second half of the year.

Fell Below 50-Day Moving Average Line Testing Prior Highs

International Money Express (IMXI -$0.42 or -2.12% to $19.38) fell today and closed below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($19.99) while testing prior highs which help define important near term support to watch. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook. More damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal.

IMXI reported Mar '22 quarterly earnings +26% on +21% sales revenues versus the year ago period. T
he Financial Services-Specialty firm's quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong and backed by solid sales revenues growth. The past 7 quarterly comparisons showed earnings increases above the year ago period by more than +25% (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has been strong and it has a 95 Earnings Per Share Rating.

IMXI was highlighted in yellow in the 3/08/22 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 8/30/21 high plus 10 cents. It was last shown with detailed analysis on 3/24/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating After Rally From Previously Noted Base". 

There is a small supply of only 38.3 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 owning its shares rose from 210 in Mar '21 to 263 in Mar '221, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days

Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong.

G - Color code is changed to green after slumping below its 50 and 200 DMA lines raising concerns with today's 3rd consecutive volume-driven loss. Prior lows in the $115 define near-term support, meanwhile a rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. Members were cautioned - "New buying efforts may only be considered after a solid follow-through day confirms a new market uptrend (M criteria)." Reported Mar '22 quarterly earnings +154% on +22% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.
