TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

The weakening major averages again signaled a market correction (M criteria). Losses on Wednesday led to new low closes for the year for all of the major averages. The fact-based investment system's rules say that new buying efforts should be avoided during market corrections.

Correction Worsened After Major Averages Erased Early Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 fell 1.8%, and the Nasdaq Composite retreated 2.6%, now 18.8% below its November 19 record high. The Dow lost 464 points or 1.4%. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, hinting that the selling was not coming from more institutional pressure. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 7 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 8 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals swelled and solidly outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market averages (M criteria) are weak and have signaled a more worrisome "correction" as the major indices all closed at new lows for the year.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average has violated the its January low with a 5th consecutive loss, slumping well below Its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.

U.S. stocks finished firmly lower on Wednesday amid escalating geopolitical uncertainty. The benchmark S&P 500 Index is in correction territory (defined as a 10% drawdown from a recent peak) for the first time since the start of the pandemic. Treasuries weakened, with the 10-year note yield climbing five basis points (0.05%) to 1.98%.

President Biden imposed another round of sanctions on Russia that impacted the builder of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline and its corporate officers. These penalties followed initial sanctions on some Russian banks and individuals announced on Tuesday, and were in response to Russian President Putin recognizing two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine as independent states, with “peacekeeping forces” being ordered into the separatist areas. Investors are closely monitoring the developments, assessing the possible economic implications of a potential all-out Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with Consumer Discretionary shares faring the worst amid weakness in retailers. Technology was also among the hardest hit groups following a cyberattack on a number of Ukraine government and bank websites. The FAANG complex of mega-cap stocks shed more than 2.4%. In earnings, shares of Lowe’s Cos Inc. (LOW +0.23%) ended little changed despite the home improvement retailer topping profit and sales estimates and providing a positive full-year outlook. Discount department store TJX Cos Inc. (TJX -4.21%) slid on disappointing earnings and revenue. Elsewhere, Caesars Entertainment Inc. (CZR +2.81%) rose following a smaller-than-anticipated quarterly loss.
