Breadth Negative as Market Correction Continues Doing Damage
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the week, the Dow was down 0.7%, the S&P 500 lost 1.4% and the Nasdaq Composite declined 2.1%. Stocks finished firmly lower Friday. The Dow lost 572 points to 23932 while the S&P 500 fell 58 points to 2604. The Nasdaq Composite was down 161 points to 6915. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of slightly greater institutional selling pressure again. Breadth was solidly negative as decliners led advancers by nearly a 4-1 margin on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 16 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 20 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) have shown weakness indicative of a correction. Investors reduce market exposure during weak market periods by selling any stocks triggering technical sell signals on a case-by-case basis. Once a new confirmed rally with a solid follow through day occurs it will be noted and new buying efforts will again be justified only when all key criteria of the fact-based investment system are satisfied. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
 PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index fell near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and prior lows which define important near-term support. Technically, more damaging losses would signal for investors to reduce market exposure.
The major averages declined Friday, ending a volatile week. The trade dispute between the U.S and China intensified Thursday evening when President Trump proposed $100 billion in additional tariffs targeting Chinese imports. In central bank news, Fed Chair Jerome Powell delivered remarks reiterating the need for further gradual rate hikes amid solid economic growth. On the data front, non-farm payrolls increased by 103,000 in March, missing expectations and marking the smallest gain in six months. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.1% while hourly earnings increased 2.7% year-over-year, matching forecasts.
All 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory. Industrials led decliners amid the global trade dispute with Boeing (BA -3.06%) and Caterpillar (CAT -3.47%) both falling. Technology lagged with Apple (AAPL -2.56%) down. Financials also underperformed amid falling yields with JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM -2.49%) and Citigroup (C -2.31%) both sinking.
Treasuries were firmer with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note declining four basis points to 2.78%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude lost 2.5% to $61.98/barrel. COMEX Gold rose 0.6% to $1332.20/ounce amid a weaker dollar.

Financial, Retail, Tech, and Energy-Linked Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
On Friday losses for the Retail Index ($RLX -2.52%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -2.84%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -2.70%) dragged the major indices lower. The tech sector also had a negative bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -3.06%), Biotech Index ($BTK -3.18%) and the Networking Index ($NWX -1.84%) each suffered a big loss. Energy-linked groups fell as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.47%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -2.14%) both fell, meanwhile the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.09%) was a standout as it essentially finished flat. Charts courtesy wwwstockcharts.com
 PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX -1.84%) is sputtering near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. It found prompt support near that important short-term average in recent months.

Quietly Slumping Near Prior Low
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Weibo Corp Cl (WB -$2.53 or -2.18% to $113.6) is slumping near the prior low, still sputtering below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($127.82) after damaging volume-driven losses. A rebound above that short-term average is needed for its outlook to improve.
It was last shown in this FSU section on 3/08/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Recent Consolidation is Not a New Base of Sufficient Length". WB was first highlighted in yellow in the 1/16/18 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 1/08/18 high after an 8-week cup-with-handle base.
Earnings rose +88% on +77% sales revenues for the Dec '17 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record. Its strong quarterly earnings track record was marked by sales revenues acceleration. Sales revenues rose from the year ago periods by +24%, +36%, +42%, +43%, +67%, +72%, and +81% in the Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec '16, Mar, Jun, and Sep '17 quarters, respectively. The limited annual earnings (A criteria) history for this China-based Internet - Content firm remains a concern. Weibo completed its $17 IPO in April 2014, and in FY '14 and prior years it reported losses.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 503 in Jun '17 to 567 in Mar '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness rating of B.
