U.S. equities were mixed as investors reacted to central bank and earnings news.

In Fed news, Chair Janet Yellen warned against raising rates too slowly in a speech Tuesday but also hinted that the central bank’s outlook could change if inflation proves persistent. On the data front, new home sales unexpectedly slipped 3.4% in August to an eight-month low.

Powerboat Maker Hit Another New 52-Week High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Marine Products Corp (MPX +$0.19 or +1.18% to $16.31) hit a new high with today's 5th consecutive gain on ever-increasing volume. In the earlier mid-day report it was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 7/12/17 high plus 10 cents (read here). Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume and a strong close could help clinch a convincing technical buy signal.

MPX is a high-ranked leader in the Recreational Vehicles Industry Group. It found support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line as it formed a sound base since noted in the 8/15/17 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +38% on +10% sales revenues for the Jun '17 quarter. Three of the past 4 quarterly earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), however sequential comparisons show sales revenues growth decelerating. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been good."

The number of top-rated funds owning its share rose from 116 in Sep '16 to 122 in Jun '17 (I criteria). Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its small supply of only 7.7 million shares in the public float and 34.9 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
