TABELL'S MARKET LETTER 35 WALL STREET. NEW YORK 5. N. Y. Digby 4-1141 On volume of only 700,000 shares, the market continued its slow downdrift'on Friday and both averages closed at new lows for the move at 167.24 and 43.76. The intra-day lows were 166.77 and 43.61, compared with the previous intra- day lows of 166.53 and 44.12 on Wednesday. As yet, the market has not given an oversold signal although, on several technical indicators, it is very close to such a pOSition. The general opinion seems to be that the decline will end only after a selling climax on heavy volume. However, a careful examination of the pattern casts considerable doubt on this conjecture. All supply and demand gauges indicate that the decline since November has been due to a buying lethargy rather than selling pressure. This is evidenced by the decreasing volume on each successive low since the post-election break November 3rd November 9th November 30th February 25th June 3rd 3,236,000 2,261,0000 1,200,000 830,000 7 00 ,00\ Wednesday's volume, the day of the previous low, was 1,140,000 shares which was above the February volume but less than November. As long as this tendency continues, it would be more logical to expect the low to be made in a slow, dragging fashion,similar to the pattern of FebruaryMarch, 1948. Of course, selling pressure could increase and destroy this pattern but as yet there has been no indication that such will be the case. It is interesting to note that while all the DowJones averages have reached new low territory, as has the New York Times Combined average and rail average, the New York Times industrial average has not yet confirmed the downtrend in the rail average. The November low was 179.05 and Wednesday's low was 181.54. Friday's low is not avail- able at this writing and may be somewhat lower than Wednesday's low. However, I presume that it is still above the November low. In ,the past the New York Times average has failed to confirm several false signals. ,It is barely possible that this might occur again. The main fact to bear in mind at the moment is that the 170-160 area has proven to be a buying range' for the last thirty-three months. At this stage, would concentrate on the action of individual stocks with strong technical patterns rather than on the minor fluctuations of the averages. June 3, 1949 EDMUND W.

TABELL'S MARKET LETTER 35 WALL STREET, NEW YORK 5, N. Y. Digby 4-4141 On my technical work, the market gave a short term buy signal at Monday's closing level of 165.15. This is based on a gauge that has proven quite accurate in the past. It has signalled almost every important turning pOint. It also has given premature signals but eventually the turn was signalled again at a lev,el not too far away from the original signal. Any rally that would ensue from present levels would be expected to meet temporary resistance at around 170. / While the averages have drifted downward, individual groups have been in an uptrend. Expect these groups to continue their favorable action. The groups include airlines, baking, department store and mail order, drugs, glass, investment companies, motion pictures, natural gas, retail food, tobaccos, utilities and variety chains. EDMUND W.

TABELL'S MARKET LEnER 35 WAll STREET, NEW YORK 5, N. Y. Digby 4-4141 At Friday's intra-day lows of 164.14 and 42.58, the market worked down to the previous lows of Monday at 164.27 and 42.13. The close was a fraction above the worst of the day at 164.61 and 42.70. Volume on Friday was 800,000 shares as compared with 1,380,000 shares on Monday. Almost everyone of the various gauges of selling pressure indicate that the market is at the present time in an oversold position, or very close to it. Obviously, under the stress of the current pessimism, the market might work somewhat lower, but it would appear that the next important move will be toward higher levels. From a timing viewpoint, would expect a strong upward move to start not later than late June or early July. A group that offers substantial profit possibilities is the airline group. In the last few months, the group has shown much better action than the general market. Fairly substantial potential base patterns have been built up and earnings have been showing a definitely improving trend in most instances. The airline stocks made their highs in late 1945 and early 1946, almost six months before the general market topped out. As noted in the table below, the declines have been extremely drastic with some issues,at their lows, selling at 1/6 to 1/10 of the levels reached in 1945-1946.

TABELL'S MARKET LETTER Although both averages penetrated the thirty-four month trading range on Monday on the basis of closing prices, the range still remains intact as far as the intra-day lows are concerned. The Dow-Jones industrial average reached an intra-day low of 160.49 in October, 1946. The intra-day low reached in the first hour Tuesday, June 14th, 'was 160.62. The rail average made its low in May, 1947 at 40.43. Tuesdays low was 40.88. The Dow-Jones 65-Stock index also reached its low in May 1947 at 56.56. Tuesdays low was 57.43. Wednesday's rally to 164.58 and 42.43 and 58.83 brought all the averages away from the thirty-four month lows. Whether these lows hold or not is problematical. Wednesday's action gave the impression that there is a good chance that they will. But whether they hold or not is, in my opinion, not terrifically important except from a short term trading point of view. The market is oversold on all the longer term trading pressure gauges. On one gauge the index is at an oversold point that has been lower on only three occasions Since 1940. At each of these times, the market soon started on a sharp upward move. Even if the lowest level were reached it should not carry the market much below 160. A downside penetration of the thirty-four month trading range at this time might be very similar to the upside penetration of the 1946-1948 range of 160-187 in May,1948. The average at that time carried on to only 194 and then built up a distribution area that started an intermediate downtrend that today is still in effect (over a year later). The trading range of the last thirty-four months is irregular. The top has been penetrated on two occasion. The July 1947 top at 187 was above the February 1947 top at 184 and the May 1948 top at 194 was above the July 1947 top at 187. On both occasions, the advance lost momentum and the market returned to its trading range. I continue to believe that the trading range of the last thirty-four months is an accumulation area. The broad pattern would not necessarily be destroyed by a temporary penetration into the 160-150 area. In fact, the potential base area has been greatly widened by the present dip. Furthermore, the downside objectives on the point and figure charts have almost all been approximately reached. Allowing for a normal margin of error, this would indicate a nearby reversal of important proportions. It must be remembered that if all the stocks in the Dow-Jones industrial average had reached their low at the same time during the last thirty four months, the average would have reached a low of about 150 instead of 160. Wednesday's rally was impressive and could indicate the start of a reversal. Normal action would point to resistance at 165-166 followed by a consolidation or a retesting of the recent lows.

TABELL'S MARKET LETTER )5 WALL STREET, NEW YORK 5. N. Y. Dlvby 4-4141 I am reprinting below my letter of April 27, 1949. The airline issues mentioned in my letter of June 10th also fit into this category except for the fact that, at present prices, they are selling at more than ten times 1940 earnings. – For the speculator who likes to purchase well deflated issues I am listing below a group of stocks that are now selling at a price of approximately one-third of their 1945-1946 highs. All of these issues paid dividends in 1948 but that is no reason to assume that such payments will be made in 1949. To eliminate issues that were purely war beneficiaries, I have added an additional requirement – namely, that at present price no issue is selling at more than ten times 1940 earnings. From a technical viewpoint, while most of these issues appear to have reached their approximate lows, very few have built up sufficient base patterns to indicate any important near term move. Undoubtedly, considerable patience will be required. However, even if these issues regained only half of their threeyear declines, the percentage appreCiation would be sizeable. Approx.

TABELL'S MARKET LETTER 35 WALL STREET. NEW YORK 5. N. Y. Digby 4-4141 The market gives increasing evidence that the lows of 160.62 and 40.88, reached on June 14th, may be the lows of the intermediate decline that is over a year old. Since the first of the month the market has shown definite signs of an oversold condition. The various gauges of short term, intermediate and longer term action all have reached levels that, in the past, has always resulted in a reversal of trend. Even while the market was declining into new low territory during the first half of June, the market was giving evidence of this oversold action. For example, during the week ending June 3rd when the average reached a low of 166.53, there vlere 1013 stocks that Closed the week lower and 167 that closed the week higher. During the week ending June lOth, when the averages reached a new low of 164.14, there were 836 declines and 322 advances. During the week ending June 17th, when the averages reached the low of 160.62, there ',ere only 684 declines as against 463 advances. This tendency of the number of declining stocks to turn downward and the number of advancing stocks to increase has continued during the week just ended. Ever since September 1946 I have consistently repeated that the 160-170 area was a long term buying range for selected stocks. After entering this range on at least a dozen occasions in the past thirty-four months, this range still holds. For the near term, some temporary resistance is to be expected as the average approaches the upside resistance at 170. Friday's high was 167.49. Most favorable action would be a quiet sell-off from whatever highs are reached on this rallying phase followed by ability to hold above the lows of 160.62 and 40.88. If all of this occurred, the market would be in a position to rally when the downward longer term pressure eases around July 1st. June 24, 1949 EDMUND W.

TABELL'S MARKET LETTER 35 WALL STREET. NEW YORK 5. N. Y. Digby 4-4141 Action of the market strengthens the conviction that He are in the final stages of the thirteen-month decline. While the major trend of the averages is still downward, the intermediate trend has indicated an upward reversal. In fact, market action is satisfactory enough to warrant the advice to purchase on all minor setbacks. The present strength in the market should carry somewhat further. I would expect some resistance in the 169-171 area. Normal technical action after such an occurrence would indicate a correction back to 167-165, from which point the market advance should broaden sharply. Friday's Journal of Commerce starts its editorial with the following comment One fallacy of our times is to think too much in terms of aggregates and averages. The public opinion poll takers are not the only ones to go wrong by carrying such thinking to extremes. While this editorial relates to industrial averages and over-all business statistics, the . same comment could also be applied to the. stock market. Possibly we think too much in terms of stock market averages rather than in indi- vidual stocks. For example, the Dow-Jones industrial average closed on December 31st, 1948, at 177.30. At Friday'S close of 168.08 the averages were down 9.22 points for the first six months of 1949.

TABELL'S MARKET LETTER 35 WALL STREET, NEW YORK 5, N. Y. Digby 4-4141 The pace of the advance has slackened somewhat as the averages approach the rather heavy overhead resist- ance above 170. Friday's intra-day high on the industrial average was 171.53. The rail average continues to lag. The equivalent of 171 on the rail average would be 46 as against Friday's close of 43.19. The resistance above 170 consists of the six-month trading range between the November low of 170.35 and the January high of 182.50. The low was tested again in February at 170.56 and finally penetrated downside in late May. It is perfectly logical to expect some resistance as this range is entered but I expect this resistance to be only temporary. Just how much technical correction is needed at this point is problematical. The various gauges of short term action are approaching an overbought condition. This overbought condition appears only on the minor trend indicators. The intermediate and longer term trend indicators continue to show very favorable patterns. This temporary condition of the minor trend could be corrected either by a minor decline of two or three days duration or a cons'olidating move of a week or so around present levels. In either event, such a move would be of interest to only shorter term traders. A normal one-third to one-half correction of the eleven point advance from the June lows would carry back to 168-166. Regardless of the action of the averages over the shorter term, individual issues should move ahead. The rails appear to be laggards. While no longer term uptrend signal has been given, I believe it is the time to start, in a modest way, to accumulate selected rails. The only rail issue on our recommended list is Denver, Ro Grande & Western 20). To this I would add Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe (834)' and Illinois Central (24).

TABELL'S MARKET LETTER 35 WALL STREET. NEW YORK 5. N. Y. Digby 4-'1141 The market continues to move ahead and has closed higher for four successive weeks. This is the longest sustained advance since September, 1948. Even though the industrial average is now in the strong 171-182 upside resistance area, there are as yet no signs of technical deterioration. The shorter term gauge which was approaching an overbought condition the first week in July, corrected itself by a four day consolidation in the 169-171 range. The intermediate term gauge is still quite a distance away from an overbought signal. The two hundred day moving average is around 174 as compared with Friday'S closing of 173.48 on the Dow-Jones industrial average. Ability to penetrate this long term moving average \'/Ould be a very constructive market signal. Selling pressure continues to slowly decline and buying interest to slowly increase. Buying interest, while still unimpressive, appears to have made an important turn. The overall pattern is favorable with the intermediate trend still pointing up and with indications that nearby reactions will be of only temporary signifi- cance. However, a sharp advance (say to the 177-180 area) between now and the end of the month would weaken the technical pattern'df such a rally occurs, I would suggest switching groups that have shown relatively unfavorable action and await a correction to the low 170s to replace with groups that have shown favorable action. Groups showing favorable action include – Agricultural Equipment Airlines Baking Business Machines Dept.Stores & Mail Order Drugs Food Packing Glass Investment Companies Liquor MotionPictures Natural Gas 011s Retail Food Textiles Tobacco Utilities Variety Chains July 15, 1949.

TABELL'S MARKET LEnER 35 WALL STREET. NEW YORK 5, N. Y. Olgby 4-4141 After Wednesday's high of 176.14 in the industrial average,the market has sold off moderately. The average has advanced sixteen pOints in twenty-five trading days. Whlle this advance has been rapid, it has been very orderly and at no time has there been any indication of climactic buying. Neither the short term or intermediate term gauge of market act has become overbought. There is no sign of distribution and the technical pattern remains strong with the short interest increasing. Any correction from this level should be extremely moderate. The longer term action also is improving and buying interest continues its slow increase. Until more signs of weakened technical conditions appear, would retain recommended issues. Listed below are half of the issues in my recommended list. Those listed today are the better grade issues which have paid dividends over the past ten years. The more speculative group will be reviewed in the next letter. Those marked with an asterisk show above average action and should be purchased during any periods of market irregularity.
