The market (M criteria) is in a correction. A caution flag has been raised by the technical damage in the major indices coupled with a shrinking list of stocks hitting new highs. Disciplined investors know to raise cash by selling weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis, and to protect that cash by avoiding any new buys until a new rally is confirmed with a follow-through day.

Sentiment Suffers as Market Correction Continues
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow lost 329 points, while the Nasdaq Composite reversed earlier gains to shed 0.6%. The S&P 500 declined 1%, slipping below its mid-June level to notch a new low for 2022. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of less institutional selling pressure. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were zero high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page for a 2nd consecutive session. New 52-week lows totals again solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The market is now in a correction (M criteria).

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index suffered a 5th consecutive loss as it tested the June low.
U.S. equities finished lower for the fifth-straight day on Monday as hawkish commentary from central bank officials weighed on investor sentiment. Boston Federal Reserve (Fed) President Susan Collins said additional rate hikes are needed to curb inflation, even though it may result in economic pain, while Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic reiterated the fight to curb inflation was the Fed’s first priority. Internationally, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said the central bank is monitoring recent market turmoil closely and will “act accordingly” at their next scheduled meeting.
Further pressuring sentiment was turmoil in currency markets. A gauge of the U.S. dollar soared 0.8% to a two-decade high, while the British pound sterling notched an all-time low against the greenback. Treasury yields continued their ascent, with the yield on the policy-sensitive two-year note adding 12 basis points (0.12%) to 4.31%. The benchmark 10-year note yield climbed 22 basis points (0.22%) to 3.90%, its highest level since April 2010, while the yield on the 30-year bond advanced 11 basis points (0.11%) to 3.72%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude shed 2.7% to $76.62/barrel to its lowest level since early January amid a surging U.S. dollar.
On the data front, the Chicago Fed National Activity Index came in at 0 (a neutral reading) for August, down from the prior month’s 0.29 print. The Dallas Fed’s Manufacturing Activity Index fell to -17.2 in September, down from August’s -12.9 figure.

The Biotech Index ($BTK -1.93%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.47%) both outpaced the Networking Index ($NWX -0.72%) to the downside. Financials also created a drag on the major averages as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.62%) and Bank Index ($BKX -1.83%) both lost ground. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.00%) finished flat.
PICTURED: The Biotech Index ($BTK -1.93%) slumped further below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines toward the June low.

Damaging Slump Below 50-Day Moving Average Hurt Outlook
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Casey's General Stores (CASY -$0.61 or -0.30% to $201.93) ended the session lower. It violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($210) decisively last week as above average volume was behind damaging losses triggering a technical sell signal. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve.
CASY was highlighted in yellow in the 9/09/22 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 8/22/22 high. It was perched within close striking distance of its all-time high. Disciplined investors may note that it did not produce subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume, so it failed to trigger a technical buy signal.
CASY reported earnings +28% on +40% sales revenues for the Jul '22 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and it has an earnings Per Share Rating of 96. It hails from the RETAIL - Super/Mini Markets group which is currently ranked 6th on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria).
There are 37.3 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 565 in Mar '22 to 601 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
