TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

The market (M criteria) is still in a correction. Disciplined investors know to protect cash by avoiding any new buys until a new uptrend is confirmed with a proper follow-through day.

Major Averages Fell With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow lost 403 points, but ended the week 1.2% higher, while the Nasdaq Composite shed 3.1% and notched a 3.1% weekly decline. The S&P 500 fell 2.4% and slipped 1.6% for the week. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of less institutional selling pressure behind the losses. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by 5-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 13 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 9 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The market is still in a correction (M criteria). Caution and patience remain paramount. Disciplined investors know to watch for a follow-through day of big gains to confirm a new uptrend.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index pulled back on Day 2 of a new rally attempt. A solid follow-through day (ideally on Day 4-7) is needed as confirmation of a new market uptrend.

U.S. equities reversed earlier gains and finished lower Friday as investors digested fresh economic data. Stocks were whipsawed this week as market participants digested hotter-than expected inflation data and mixed earnings results from major U.S. banks. All sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory today, with Consumer Discretionary and Energy leading laggards.

On the data front, retail sales were little changed in September after seeing a 0.4% gain in August. The report cited high inflation and rising interest rates as the drivers behind the stagnant figure. Import prices declined 1.2% month-over-month in September, while export prices notched a 0.8% monthly fall. The preliminary October reading of the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index rose to 59.8, a six-month high, indicating more favorable buying conditions. Meanwhile, the report’s year-ahead inflation expectations unexpectedly climbed to 5.1%, increasing for the first time in seven months, while long-term inflation expectations rose to 2.9%.

Treasuries weakened along the curve, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note adding six basis points (0.06%) to 4.02% to settle above 4% for the first time since October 2008, while the 30-year bond gained five basis points (0.05%) to 3.99%. The yield on the two-year note climbed two basis point (0.02%) to 4.50%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude shed 3.7% to $85.80/barrel amid demand concerns. WTI crude notched a 7.4% weekly loss as recessionary worries outweighed tight supply conditions.

Little Resistance Remains for Strong Steel/Metal Products Firm
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Commercial Metals Co (CMC -$0.83 or -1.97% to $41.22) finished the day lower after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 8/11/22 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. It rebounded above its 50 and 200 DMA lines with recent volume-driven gains and faces little resistance due to overhead supply up to the $46 level. However, members are again reminded - The market is in a correction (M criteria) and disciplined investors know to avoid new buying efforts until a new rally confirmed with a follow-through day.

CMC reported Aug '22 quarterly earnings +94% on +19% sales revenues versus the year ago period and prior quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based investment system. Annual earnings growth has been strong. It hails from the Metal Proc & Fabrication group which is currently ranked 24th on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria).

The company has 120.5 million shares outstanding (S criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 586 in Dec '21 to 626 in Sep '22. However, its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under some distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B.
