Most Recent Note - 12/18/2018 12:47:04 PM G - Rebounding after a slump toward its 200 DMA line. Damaging volume-driven loss on the prior session violated its 50 DMA line ($168) and undercut the recent lows triggering a technical sell signal. The 200 DMA line ($156) defines important near-term support to watch. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 11/28/2018. Click here.
