TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Damaging losses for the major averages with higher volume on Tuesday had the look of a more serious "market correction" taking hold. Greater caution is advised until strength returns.

Major Indices Show More Worrisome Weakness
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow slumped 543 points, posting its biggest one-day drawdown since November. The S&P 500 retreated 1.8% to its lowest point in nearly a month. The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 2.6% to a trough not seen since mid-October, nearing correction territory with the tech-heavy index closing 9.7% below its most recent November 19 record. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of distributional pressure or an increase in selling from the institutional crowd. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and more than 4-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 49 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 41 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs by about 3-1 on the NYSE and by 9-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The market averages (M criteria) have seen their latest uptrend come under pressure, and Tuesday's losses had the look of a more serious market correction. Greater caution is suggested until noted strength returns.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with a loss backed by higher volume.

U.S. stocks finished broadly lower on Tuesday as investors monitored a persistent back-up in Treasury yields. Growth-related shares came under pressure as Treasuries extended their recent rout amid ongoing inflationary concerns. The yield on the 10-year note jumped 10 basis points (0.10%) to 1.88%, while the two-year Treasury note yield spiked eight basis points (0.08%) to 1.04%, its highest level since February 2020. Market participants are bracing for tighter monetary policy ahead of the Federal Reserve’s January 25-26 meeting. On the data front, the Empire Manufacturing survey unexpectedly slipped into contractionary territory.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory. Technology stocks lagged the most with chipmakers leading the rout. Financials also underperformed after a big drop in shares of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS -6.97%) since its latest profit tally fell short of estimates amid a drop in trading revenue. The investment bank also became the latest company to flag higher compensation costs, inciting worries of persisting inflation. Meanwhile, the Energy sector narrowly bucked the downtrend with West Texas Intermediate crude rallying 2.4% to $85.79/barrel, settling at the highest level since October 2014. In other corporate news, Activision Blizzard, Inc. (ATVI +25.88%) rose after Microsoft Corp. (MSFT -2.43%) announced it would acquire the video game maker in a $68.7 billion all-cash deal.

Financial, Retail, Tech, and Commodity-Linked Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The tech sector saw unanimous losses from the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -4.44%), Biotech Index ($BTK -4.05%), and. The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -3.55%) and Bank Index ($BKX -2.40%) created a drag on the major averages as both outpaced the Retail Index ($RLX -1.86%) to the downside. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.12%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.20%) while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.38%) eked out a small gain.

Recent Slump Below 50-Day Moving Average Hurt Outlook
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Eli Lilly & Co (LLY +$2.95 or +1.21% to $247.07) posted a gain today with lighter volume. It recently slumped well below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($260) with volume-driven losses raising greater concerns and triggering a technical sell signal. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. Its Relative Strength Rating has slumped to 84.

LLY was highlighted in yellow in the 12/16/21 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 8/17/21 high plus 10 cents. It was shown in this FSU section that evening in greater detail with an annotated graph under the headline, "Eli Lilly & Co Powered to New Highs With Volume".

LLY has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 93. It reported Sep '21 quarterly earnings +38% on +18% sales revenues versus the year ago period, and 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) improved steadily since a downturn in FY '14.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 3,055 in Dec '20 to 3,467 in Dec '21, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of C and a Sponsorship Rating of B. However, there are 956.6 million shares outstanding, making it an unlikely sprinter, while it is also well-recognized already by the institutional crowd.
