The market (M criteria) is in a correction. A caution flag has been raised by the technical damage in the major indices coupled with a shrinking list of stocks hitting new highs. Disciplined investors know to raise cash by selling weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis, and to protect that cash by avoiding any new buys until a new rally is confirmed with a follow-through day.

Major Averages Sink Decisively Again
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow fell 458 points, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.8% amid weakness in Technology shares. The S&P 500 shed 2.1% to notch a new low for 2022.. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by almost a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were zero high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 2 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals swelled and solidly outnumbered a shrinking list of new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The market is now in a correction (M criteria).

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index slumped to a new 2022 low. Caution and patience remain paramount. Disciplined investors know to watch for a follow-through day of big gains on Day 4-7 of a new rally to confirm a new uptrend.
U.S. equities finished lower in volatile trading Thursday as investors digested fresh economic data and commentary from U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) officials. All sectors in the S&P 500 ended in negative territory with Utilities and Consumer Discretionary leading laggards. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard echoed the hawkish rhetoric of other Fed officials, saying the central bank will not back down from additional rate hikes in the coming months. Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester reiterated the need for further monetary policy tightening, even though it will cause some economic pain.
On the data front, initial jobless claims came in at its lowest point since April for the week ended September 24. Meanwhile, a third reading for second quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was unchanged, while the personal consumption component of GDP and Core PCE (the Fed’s preferred proxy for inflation) were upwardly revised. The better-than-expected figures have increased the probability the Fed will maintain its aggressive stance and proceed with its rate hiking path.
Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the benchmark ten-year adding three basis points (0.03%) to 3.76%, while the 30-year bond yield climbed two basis points (0.02%) to 3.70%. The yield on the more policy-sensitive two-year note advanced five basis points (0.05%) to 4.17%. Elsewhere, a gauge of the U.S. dollar reversed earlier gains to decline 0.4%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude declined 0.7% to $81.56/barrel despite tight supply conditions and a softening dollar. |

G - Posted a 2nd consecutive gain today, rebounding near its 50 DMA line ($283.56) which may now act as resistance after a streak of 6 consecutive damaging losses. Reported earnings for the Jun '22 quarter rose +19% on +5% sales revenues versus the year ago period, breaking a streak of 3 quarterly earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns.

Most Recent Note - 9/28/2022 5:56:33 PM
Y - Posted a 3rd consecutive gain with below average volume. Its 50 DMA line ($26) defines important near-term support where a violation would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. Volume totals have been cooling while still consolidating within striking distance of prior highs in the $30 area. Recently reported insider buying is a reassuring sign. 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.
