Major Indices Sputtered With Thinning Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks finished lower Tuesday. The Dow fell 100 points to 25,286, while the S&P 500 slipped 4 points to 2,722. The Nasdaq Composite was unchanged at 7,200. The volume totals reported were higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Decliners narrowly led advancers on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 10 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 23 on the prior session. New 52-week lows easiily outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Technically, bullish action last week marked a shift in the market direction (M criteria) confirming a new uptrend, however, pressure returned as leadership has again grown thin. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders. Strict buying and selling rules should always be followed on a case by case basis.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index finished flat on Tuesday. It met prompt resistance near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and has slumped toward the prior low. The solid follow-through day on 11/07/18 was noted as a reassuring sign, however, subsequent losses undercutting the Day 1 lows would technically end the latest confirmed rally.

The major averages toggled between gains and losses during a choppy session as weakness in the Energy sector offset positive trade updates. Oil prices extended their longest losing streak on record, as WTI crude tumbled an additional -8.1% to $55.06/barrel. The sharp decline marked the worst daily performance for WTI crude since 2015 and the lowest closing price of the year. In geopolitics, U.S. and Chinese officials confirmed they have reengaged in high level trade discussions. On the data front, the lone update showed small business optimism unexpectedly eased slightly from the prior month, but remains near all-time highs.

Energy shares weighed on the major averages today as the sell-off in oil caused the group to fall roughly 2.4% on the session. Healthcare and Consumer Staples also underperformed as both groups saw a flurry of analyst downgrades. Technology stocks finished marginally higher as a strong rebound in the semi-conductor space helped offset continued weakness in Apple (AAPL -1.00%) which fell to a close below its 200 DMA line. In earnings, Home Depot (HD -0.24%) fell despite topping analyst profit projections and raising forward guidance.

Treasuries were stronger, as the yield on the benchmark 10-year note slipped four basis points to 3.14%. In commodities, COMEX gold declined 0.1% $1,201.90/ounce despite a weaker dollar.

Perched Within Striking Distance of Pivot Point
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Marine Products Corp (MPX -$0.05 or -0.22% to $22.65) challenged its 52-week high but ended lower today. Recent gains were backed by above average volume. Its color code was changed to yellow after rebounding above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($21.83) with volume-driven gains. Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal.

MPX was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/12/18 high plus 10 cents in the 10/24/18 mid-day report (read here). Recently it reported earnings +62% on +22% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter, so the past 4 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong and steady, helping it earn the highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 126 in Mar '18 to 138 in Sep '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has an A Timeliness Rating and a C Sponsorship Rating. Its small supply of only 7.3 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

It has a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of C. It was last shown in this FSU section on 10/24/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Weak Finish Amid Widely Negative Market Environment".

Most Recent Note - 11/13/2018 5:44:01 PM Y - Encountered distributional pressure and finished lower today after challenging its 52-week high. Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Recent low ($20.25 on 10/26/18) defines important support below its 50 DMA line.

Disciplined investors note it did not trigger a technical buy signal after previously noted - "Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Its 50 DMA line ($53.26) and 200 DMA line ($51.52) define near-term support. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by more than +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal." >>> FEATURED STOCK ARTICLE : Consolidating -5.2% Off 52-Week High Ahead of Earnings News - 11/5/2018 \| View all notes \| Set NEW NOTE alert \| Company Profile \| SEC News \| Chart \| Request a new note C A S I
