TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Damaging losses have signaled a more serious market correction (M criteria). During market corrections, disciplined investors know to reduce exposure and raise cash by selling any weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis.

Major Indices Posted Small Gains With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The market-cap weighted S&P 500 rose 0.4%. With Monday's gains, however, the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Russell 2000 are still down 3.8%, 5.4%, and 6.1%, respectively, for the month. As a number of participants were out in observance of Yom Kippur, volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the NYSE and by a 4-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 5 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 5 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a correction (M criteria). New buying efforts should be avoided until a new rally is confirmed by a solid follow-through day.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index posted a small gain with lighter volume after a streak of 4 consecutive losses, halting its slide after undercutting its August low.

Eight of the 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in the green. The energy sector (+1.3%) saw the largest gain by a decent margin while the consumer staples sector (-0.4%) was the worst laggard.

Chicago Fed President Goolsbee was the latest Fed official to say he believes that the Fed has more to do to bring inflation back down to the target level. The 10-yr note yield jumped ten basis points to 4.54%, which is its highest level in nearly 16 years. The 2-yr note yield was unchanged at 5.12%.

Lingering Below 50 DMA Line and Perched -12.3% Off High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Coca-Cola Consolidated (COKE -$1.26 or -0.19% to $654.00) suffered a small loss today with very light volume. Recently it has been sputtering below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($672) after volume-driven losses. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve.

COKE was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 5/04/23 high plus 10 cents in the 8/03/23 mid-day report. It was shown in this FSU section on 9/11/23 with an annotated graph under the headline "Rebounded Above 50-Day Moving Average".

COKE has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates. It reported Jun '23 quarterly earnings +54% on +9% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, continuing its strong track record. The 6 latest quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been very strong after a slight downturn in FY '18.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 379 in Jun '21 to 511 in Jun '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of C. There are only 5.8 million shares in the public float which can contribute to greater price volatility due to any buying or selling by the institutional crowd.
