TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

The market (M criteria) is still in a correction. Disciplined investors know to protect cash by avoiding any new buys until a new uptrend is confirmed with a proper follow-through day.

Major Averages Rose With Higher Volume on Day 3 of Rally Attempt
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow added 550 points, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 3.4%. The S&P 500 advanced 2.7%. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of an increase in institutional buying demand behind the gains. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by 5-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 5 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 13 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals contracted but still outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The market is still in a correction (M criteria). Caution and patience remain paramount. Disciplined investors know to watch for a follow-through day of big gains to confirm a new uptrend.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose on Day 3 of a new rally attempt. A solid follow-through day (ideally on Day 4-7) is needed as confirmation of a new market uptrend.

U.S. equities gained momentum Monday as investors monitored a strong second day of bank earnings reports. All sectors in the S&P 500 closed in positive territory, with Consumer Discretionary and Real Estate pacing gains.

Treasuries were mixed amid the reversal of nearly all the proposed tax cuts from the newly appointed U.K. Finance Minister, Jeremy Hunt, and following today’s earnings releases. Investors are closely watching earnings to better gauge the impact of inflation and to evaluate what the Federal Reserve (Fed) is likely to do next. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note was little changed at 4.02%, while the 30-year bond yield climbed three basis points (0.03%) to 4.02%. The yield on the more policy-sensitive two-year note dipped five basis points (0.05%) to 4.45%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude shed 0.3% to $85.37/barrel despite renewed optimism over global demand and tight supply conditions.

On the data front, the New York Fed’s October Empire Manufacturing survey fell more than expected to -9.1 to contract for the third-straight month. In earnings news, Bank of America Corp (BAC +6.06%) rose after announcing better-than-expected third-quarter earnings results. In his press conference following the release, Bank of America Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Brian Moynihan had an optimistic view of the economy, saying the bank did not see a slowdown in spending growth. Elsewhere, the Bank of New York Mellon Corp (BK +5.06%) rose after its third-quarter results beat estimates as well, with their net interest revenue jumping 44% from a year ago.

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Healthcare Staffing Firm Hovering Near All-Time High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Cross Country Healthcare (CCRN +$1.46 or +4.55% to $33.53) hit a new 52-week high as it rallied above its pivot point with today's big gain backed by +48% above average volume triggering a technical buy signal. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($26.08) defines important near-term support where a violation would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. Members have been repeatedly reminded in the daily Market Commentaries - "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."

CCRN was highlighted yellow with pivot point cited based on its 7/21/22 high plus 10 cents in the 9/09/22 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in greater detail on 10/03/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Powerful Breakout While Market Rally Still Needs Confirmation".

CCRN has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating, the highest possible. It reported Jun '22 quarterly earnings +198% on +127% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly comparisons showed strong sales revenues and earnings increases. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong since a downturn in FY '17 and '18.

The company has only 38.2 million shares outstanding (S criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 326 in Sep '21 to 401 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of B.
