WALL STREET RAW RADIO FOR SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2017 HOST, MARK LEIBOVIT GUESTS: JENNIFER SANDERS, CNS EQUITY PARTNERS; HENRY WEINGARTEN, THE ASTROLOGERS FUND,;HARRY BOXER, THETECHTRADER.COM; SINCLAIR NOE, EATTHEBANKES.COM,; AND KYLE DENNIS, RAGINGBULL.COM. DON VIALOUX WILL REJOIN US NEXT WEEK. http://tinyurl.com/ybu6e4oe The Bottom Line Equity markets showed early technical signs of an intermediate peak last week. Short and medium term technical indicators for the S&P 500 Index, NASDAQ Composite Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, European equity indices, Emerging Market indices and TSX Composite Index remain intermediate overbought and showed short term technical signs of moving lower. The Russell 2000 Index and the Dow Jones Transportation Average already are passed their peak. They reached their intermediate peaks six weeks ago and are down 2.6% and 5.7% respectively. Although seasonal influences for equity markets turned positive in mid-October and remain positive until the first week in January, particularly for economic sensitive sectors (e.g. Materials, Industrials, Financials and Technology), seasonal influences are being overwhelmed by technical influences. Preferred strategy is to take at least partial profits on strength in seasonally attractive sector and industry equities and Exchange Traded Funds with the understanding that their next intermediate uptrend likely will not resurface until next February.

Earnings News This Week Today is a partial holiday in Canada (bank/ government employee holiday). Accordingly, volumes on Canadian equity markets are expected to be lower than average. Technical action by individual S&P 500 stocks was bullish last week despite modest declines set by North American indices. Notable among sectors breaking resistance were Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staple stocks Number of stocks breaking resistance totaled 60 while number of stocks breaking support totaled 25. Number of stocks trading in an uptrend increased to 300 from 295, number of stocks trading in a neutral trend increased to 66 from 65 and number of stocks in a downtrend decreased to 134 from 140. The Up/Down ratio was increased last week at (300/140=) 2.24. Economic news this week is expected to focus on October PPI, CPI and Retail Sales. All are expected to record modest declines relative to September reports. Medium term technical indicators (Percent of stocks trading above their 50 day moving average, Bullish Percent Index) remain at intermediate overbought levels and continue to trend down. Short term technical indicators (short term momentum, above/below 20 day moving average) for equity indices began showing signs of rolling over. Seasonality on a wide variety of equity indices, commodities and sectors began to turn neutral/positive in early October and continue to improve. During the past 20 years, the S&P 500 Index and TSX Composite Index normally bottomed on October 10th. Historically, the month of November has been the strongest month of the year of the S&P 500 Index and TSX Composite. Earnings reports from U.S. companies continue to pour in this week. Another 17 S&P 500 companies are scheduled to release fiscal third quarter results including 3 Dow Industrial company. The outlook for S&P earnings and revenues remains positive. 58 companies have issued negative fourth quarter guidance and 25 companies have issued positive guidance. 91% reported third quarter results by the end of last week. According to FactSet, third quarter earnings are expected to increase 6.1% (up from 5.9% last week) on a 5.9% increase in revenues (up from 5.8% last week). Fourth quarter earnings are expected to increase 10.0% (down from 10.4% last week) on a 6.4% increase in revenues (6.2% increase last week). For all of 2017, earnings are expected to increase 9.4% (down from 9.5%) on a 6.2% increase in revenues (down from 6.3%). First quarter 2018 earnings are expected to increase 10.5% (up from 10.4%) on a 6.2% increase in revenues). Second quarter 2018 earnings are expected to increase 10.1% (down from 10.2%) on a 6.2% increase in revenues (down from 6.3%). Short term uncertainties remain, including North Korean “sabre rattling”, slow progress by Congress to pass crucial legislation (notably tax reform) and increased scrutiny by special council on Russia’s influence on the Presidential election. Earnings and revenue prospects beyond the third quarter report season are exceptional for U.S. based companies with international exposure. Consensus for S&P 500 earnings on a year-over-year are expected to exceed 10% in the fourth quarter of 2017 and in the first and second quarters of 2018. Earnings will benefit significantly from weakness in the U.S. Dollar on a year-over-year basis when revenues and earnings from international operations will benefit from higher valued foreign currencies. The U.S. Dollar Index averaged 100 in the fourth quarter of 2016 and 101 in the first quarter of 2017. A word of caution on U.S. equity markets in the short term! When the Relative Strength Index for the Dow Jones Industrial Average moves above 70%, the Average is considered overbought. On Friday October 20th, the Relative Strength Index closed at 88.10%, a level not seen during the past 20 years. On Friday, November 10th the Index had dropped to 61.93%. Historically, confirmation of a rollover of the Index from near its high level has been followed at best by a flat trend and, more frequently, by a downtrend lasting 3-6 months. The TSX Composite Index is in a similar position. Its Relative Strength Index touched 80% two weeks ago, the highest level in over a decade. On Friday November 10th it had dropped to 66.10.This Index also is vulnerable to a flat to downward correction during the next 3-6 months when confirmation of a rolls over is received. The time to buy both markets is when their Relative Strength Index is near or below the 30% level and are starting to turn up.

Accountability Report Given our “Bottom Line” comments at the beginning of this report, now is the time to re-examine previously identified seasonal trades and to cull out chosen investment ideas that are showing technical signs of deterioration (underperformance relative to the S&P 500 Index and negative short term momentum indicators). When initially chosen, all securities were supported by a price chart and seasonality chart that subsequently were published in Tech Talk. Many of these securities originally were recommended on BNN.
