Mixed Action Leaves Major Indices Still Sputtering
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The S&P 500 dipped 0.4% on the heels of its longest weekly losing streak since June 2011. The Nasdaq Composite retreated 1.2%, having dropped more than 27% from its November 19 peak. The Dow added 26 points following a seventh consecutive weekly drawdown--its worst stretch since 2001. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a very narrow margin on the NYSE while decliners led advancers by a 5-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 17 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 6 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The 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 Nasdaq Composite Index lost ground with lighter volume on Monday, which marked Day 3 for the tech-heavy index during the latest rally attempt. At Thursday's low before a "positive reversal" it had slumped -31.5% from the November 22, 2021 record high.

U.S. stocks finished mixed on Monday as Wall Street grappled with economic growth concerns. The major averages wavered ahead of tomorrow’s update on retail sales, along with remarks from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell. Some high-profile retail earnings will also be in focus. Treasuries caught a bid, with the yield on the 10-year note down six basis points (0.06%) to 2.88%.

In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude climbed 3.3% to $114.09/barrel despite disappointing data out of China. Both industrial production and consumer spending in the world’s second largest economy fell to the lowest levels since the start of the pandemic amid ongoing COVID-19 lockdowns. Domestically, the New York Fed empire manufacturing survey unexpectedly contracted for the second time in three months.

Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with Consumer Discretionary shares losing the most. Energy outperformed, while the more traditionally defensive groups also bucked the downtrend. In corporate news, Twitter Inc. (TWTR -8.18%) sank on worries Elon Musk may not complete his takeover deal of the social media company. Elsewhere, Eli Lilly and Co. (LLY +2.7%) rose after its Type 2 diabetes drug was granted approval by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). In M&A news, Spirit Airlines Inc. (SAVE +13.49%) rose after JetBlue Airways Corp. (JBLU -6.06%) announced a tender offer to purchase its competitor for $30 per share.

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Eli Lilly & Co Challenges All-Time High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Eli Lilly & Co (LLY +$7.75 or +2.66% to $299.38) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/07/22 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It challenged its 52-week high with its early gain but finished near the middle of the session's trading range. LLY found support near prior highs and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($289) during a 6-week consolidation. Subsequent gains and a close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Members have been repeatedly cautioned - "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."

LLY has a 95 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates. It reported Mar '22 quarterly earnings +63% on +15% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Three of the past 4 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) improved steadily since a downturn in FY '14.

This giant Medical - Diversified firm was last covered in greater detail on 1/19/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Stalled and Slumped Well Below 50 DMA Line". It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 1/24/22 yet found support near its 200 DMA line then rebounded and rose to new highs.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 3,055 in Dec '20 to 3,554 in Mar '22, 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 slight accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. There are 952.3 million shares outstanding, making it an unlikely sprinter, while it is also well-recognized already by the institutional crowd.

Most Recent Note - 5/16/2022 5:06:09 PM Y - Today's gain with average volume halted a streak of 5 consecutive small losses. It is perched within close striking distance of its all-time high. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal.

Most Recent Note - 5/16/2022 5:14:27 PM G - Color code is changed to green after it quietly inched below its 50 DMA line ($92.73). Today's 4th consecutive loss with below average volume nearly tested the prior low ($90.53 on 5/05/22) defining important near-term support. More damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal.

Most Recent Note - 5/16/2022 5:19:37 PM Y - Volume was below average today as it stubbornly held its ground.

Most Recent Note - 5/16/2022 5:21:22 PM G - Quietly sputtering below its 50 and 200 DMA lines again.
