TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Damaging losses for the major averages recently signaled a market correction (M criteria). Greater caution is advised until strength returns. Disciplined investors know to avoid new buying efforts and to raise cash by selling faltering stocks on a case-by-case basis. 


Major Averages Fell With Lighter Volume Totals

The Dow fell 66 points, largely recovering from a more than 800-point slump for the second straight session. The S&P 500 shed 1.2% to a three-month low, but pared an earlier loss that had once again briefly pushed the index into correction territory (defined as a 10% decline from a recent peak). Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 4 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page. New 52-week lows totals contracted yet easily outnumbered new 52-week highs again on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market averages (M criteria) have seen damaging losses noted that signaled a more serious market correction. Greater caution is suggested until noted strength returns.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index sank on lighter volume after a "positive reversal" on Monday with higher volume, its sharpest reversal since 2008. It slumped 2.3%, trimming an early session drop of over 3%, but still closing more than 15.6% below its November 19 record high. 

U.S. stocks finished lower on Tuesday in another volatile session as investors grappled with uncertainty related to monetary policy tightening, the economic growth outlook, and escalating geopolitical tensions.  The broad benchmark S&P 500 Index is positioned for its worst monthly performance since March 2020 (-8.6% month-to-date). Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with growth-related groups leading decliners. Energy shares bucked the downtrend as worries over supply disruptions propelled West Texas Intermediate crude 2.4% higher to $85.31/barrel. 

Financials also outperformed, with American Express Co. (AXP +8.92%) rose as record card spending fueled strong results. In other earnings, International Business Machines Corp. (IBM +5.65%) after the Tech stalwart notched its strongest revenue growth in a decade. Meanwhile, General Electric Co. (GE -5.98%) slumped as ongoing supply chain issues pressured its quarterly figures. Elsewhere, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ +2.86%) rose following stronger-than-expected full-year guidance.

Treasuries ended little changed, with the yield on the 10-year note up one basis point (0.01%) to 1.78%. On the data front, the Conference Board’s gauge of consumer confidence eased in January.

Violated 200-Day Moving Average Line Following Earnings News

United Microelectronics Inc's Adr (UMC -$0.78 or -7.15% to $10.13) color code was changed to green after today's big volume-driven loss violated its 200-day moving average (DMA) line triggering a worrisome technical sell signal. The weak action came after it reported Dec '21 quarterly earnings +44% on +32% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. A prompt rebound above the 200 DMA and subsequent gains above the 50 DMA line ($11.43) are needed for its outlook to improve.

UMC was last shown in this FSU section on 1/04/22 with an annotated graph under the headline "Testing Support and Perched Not Far From Prior Highs".  It has a 96 Earnings Per Share (EPS) rating. For the Sep '21 quarter earnings rose +100% on +30% sales revenues versus the year ago period, continuing its strong earnings track record. Recent quarters showed solid earnings and improved sales revenues increases satisfying the C criteria. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong after a noted downturn in FY '18.  

The high-ranked ELECTRONICS - Semiconductor - Integrated Circuits firm saw the number of top rated funds owning its shares rise from 65 in Sep '20 to 94 in Dec '21, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.0 is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days

See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.
