EB Watch List Update Report
Dear Members,
KEY EARNINGS REPORTS:
Wednesday: FDX, GES, GIS, JBL, KBH, VRA
Thursday: CAG, LEN, NKE
MARKET NOTE:
The Fed has spoken. The Fed reduced its bond purchase program by $10 billion to $55 billion per month, as expected. The Fed also dropped its pledge to tie borrowing costs to a 6.5% unemployment rate. The stock market reacted in a volatile manner, dropping initially, then recovering. In the meantime, the 10 year treasury yield ($TNX) climbed, but still must negotiate 2.80% resistance to suggest a further selloff in treasuries.
ADDITIONS TO WATCH LISTS:
There are no additions to our Watch Lists today.
BRIEF COMMENTS ON SELECT WATCH LIST STOCKS:
Short Watch List:
SJM - A close beneath 96.00 could trigger additional technical selling.
Large Cap Watch List:
FFIV - Rallying nicely, but remains range bound and could use more volume to support a breakout.
UA - Profit taking today helping to relieve overbought momentum oscillators.
Mid Cap Watch List:
ATK - Up earlier to challenge 140 price resistance, but will need more volume to confirm a breakout at that level.
KFY - Volume has accelerated some as it attempts a fresh closing breakout above 29.39. Looks strong.
MELI - Has been struggling recently between 100.00 and 101.00. A break above that congestion would be bullish. For now, however, it's range bound trading between 95 and 100.
Small Cap Watch List:
There are no Small Cap Watch List stocks at this time.
DELETIONS FROM OUR WATCH LISTS:
There are no additional deletions today unless Closing Stops are violated.
Happy trading!
