TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

The market averages are in a correction (M criteria). New buying efforts should be avoided until a solid follow-through day signals a new confirmed rally. 



Breadth Clearly Negative as Major Indices Ended Mixed

The major indices were mixed on Friday and all closed near their session lows. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners clearly led advancers by a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange and 3-1 on the NYSE. There were 8 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 7 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market averages are in a correction (M criteria). New buying efforts should be avoided until a solid follow-through day signals a new confirmed rally.

Amazon.com (AMZN +6.83%) posted a standout gain following better-than-expected earnings and guidance. Semiconductor stocks were another pocket of strength after Intel (INTC +9.3%) beat earnings estimates.
