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 Posted Gains With Lighter Volume Totals

The Dow added 466 points to snap a six-day losing streak. The blue chip index pared its five-session decline to 2.1%, but still weathered its seventh straight weekly drop—its worst such stretch since 2001. The S&P 500 climbed 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite rallied 3.8%. Still, both benchmarks logged a sixth consecutive weekly slide (-2.4% and -2.8%, respectively), something the S&P 500 has not suffered since June 2011. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing lackluster buying demand from the institutional crowd. Advancers led decliners by almost a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and almost 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 6 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 1 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals contracted yet still solidly outnumbered short 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a gain with lighter volume on Friday, breaking a streak of 6 consecutive losses as it slumped to a new 2022 low. It is down -12.9% from the January 5, 2022 record high.

U.S. stocks staged a relief rally on Friday, consolidating amid a downbeat week. As has been the case lately, the bounce was widely attributed to oversold conditions after the S&P 500 yesterday came within a hair’s breadth of bear market territory (defined as a 20% drawdown from a recent peak). 

Comments from Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell seemed to aid risk sentiment. He reiterated that the U.S. central bank would likely raise rates by 0.50% in both the upcoming June and July meetings, and echoed earlier remarks that a 0.75% increase was not being “actively considered.” Treasuries trimmed their weekly advance, with the 10-year note yield rising for the first time in five sessions, up seven basis points (0.07%) to 2.94%.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors climbed more than 1%, with the Consumer Discretionary group pacing the gains. U.S.-based casinos with operations in Macau outperformed as strict covid restrictions in Shanghai were set to ease. In other corporate news, Twitter Inc. (TWTR -9.7%) fell after Elon Musk stated his $44 billion takeover is “temporarily on hold,” though noted that he is “still committed” to the deal.

Breakout With Volume-Driven Gain to New High

Penske Automotive Grp (PAG +$6.92 or +6.35% to $115.94) finished strong today after highlighted in yellow in the mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 5/04/22 high after a 6-month saucer-with-handle base. It hit a new all-time high today. The gain and close above the pivot point was backed by +89% above average volume triggering a technical buy signal. However, members were reminded - "New buying efforts may only be considered after a solid follow-through day confirms a new market uptrend (M criteria) under the fact-based investment system. Follow this closely in the daily market commentaries."

PAG reported earnings +113% on +21% sales revenues for the Mar '22 quarter versus the year ago period. Recent quarterly earnings were well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong. It has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 97, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates.

There are 27.6 million shares in the public float (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 420 in Jun '21 to 502 in Mar '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.9 indicates modest distributional pressure over the past 50 days. The Retail/Wholesale-Automobile group is currently ranked 117th of the 197 Industry Groups, however several other high-ranked stocks in the group have been showing confirming strength and leadership (L criteria).

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.
