Leadership Wanes, Major Indices Sputter, and Nasdaq Leads Retreat
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow lost 130 points, while the S&P 500 fell 0.8%. The Nasdaq Composite declined 1.3%. The reported volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 6-5 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership contracted as only 7 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 31 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices have seen their uptrend recently come under pressure (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so improvement in the new highs totals in the near term may be considered critical.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index slumped below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line toward the recent low.
Stocks finished lower Thursday, as investors weighed central bank updates and economic data reports. Yesterday, the Federal Reserve signaled an intent to keep rates in the near zero-bound range until at least 2023 and reiterated plans to utilize its full range of tools to support the economic recovery. However, the recent weakness has been attributed to a lack of updated guidance from the Fed and concerns of a peak in monetary stimulus.
On the data front, initial jobless claims declined modestly to 860,000 in the most recent week from the prior upwardly revised 893,000 reading. Meanwhile, housing starts dropped 5.1% in August, falling more than the 0.6% decline expected and last month’s downwardly revised 17.9% increase. Building permits posted a surprise 0.9% decrease in the same period. Treasuries are strengthening, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note flat at 0.69%. In commodities WTI crude gained 2.2% to $41.08/barrel, while gold dipped 0.8% to $1946.10/ounce.
Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended the day in negative territory, with the Real Estate group leading the declines. Tech and Tech-related companies were also pressured, with Facebook (FB -3.30%) and Amazon (AMZN -2.25%) slumping. In corporate news, shares of Carnival Corporation (CCL -1.34%) fell after extending cruise cancellations until the end of January 2021. Dave and Buster’s (PLAY -26.13%) tumbled after warning of bankruptcy if a deal cannot be made with lenders. |

Slumped Below 50-Day Average With Loss on Light Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Trex Company Inc (TREX -$1.72 or -2.45% to $68.39) slumped to close below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($69.86) with today's loss on light volume. The recent lows in the $65 area define the next important support level to watch. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line might help its outlook improve. Do not be confused by the 2:1 share split effective 9/15/20 (Featured Price, Pivot Point, and Max Buy prices have been adjusted accordingly).
Fundamentals remain strong. Recently it reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings +27% on +7% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 4th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). It has shown resilience since last appearing in this FSU section on 9/04/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Fall Below "Max Buy" Level Also Undercut 50-Day Moving Average". It has earned the highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong. The company hails from the General Building Materials industry group which currently has a Group Relative Strength Rating of A+
The company has a new CEO as of 4/29/20. After a 2:1 share split effective 9/15/20 it now has a supply (S criteria) of 115.8 million shares outstanding. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 540 in Jun '19 to 719 in Jun '20, 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. It has a Timeliness rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of C.

Most Recent Note - 9/17/2020 12:00:38 PM
Y - Undercut its prior low ($461.18 on 9/08/20) and its 50 DMA line ($464.18) with today's early weakness raising concerns following a "negative reversal" on the prior session with a big loss on heavy volume. Encountered distributional pressure and had a "negative reversal on 9/10/20. Since finding support at its 10 week-moving average (WMA), a valid secondary buy point exists up to 5% above the latest high. Subsequent losses violating its 50 DMA line and prior low may trigger technical sell signals. Disciplined investors always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than 7-8% from their purchase price. Reported Aug '20 quarterly earnings +25% on +14% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. This well-known Computer Software - Desktop firm has produced 4 consecutive quarterly earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong and steady.

Most Recent Note - 9/17/2020 12:07:29 PM
G - Slumping for a 2nd consecutive loss after hitting a new all-time high, falling back below prior highs in the $221 area. Found prompt support at its 50 DMA line ($208.25) after volume-driven losses. More damaging losses would raise greater concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. Recently reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings -3% on +4% sales revenues, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), but better than expected while the company also raised its guidance.
