The sharp eighteen point decline placed the market in an . ;-.' oversold condition. My short term technical indicator gave a buy signal on ;,; Tuesday. The market reached a high of 266.79 on Wednesday . I would not ' I' expect the advance to carry beyond the 268-270 area at this stage.

The downside objective in of either direction, a new pattern 277-270 top has been approxi- ' mately reached and there 1s no other indication of importance at the mo- ,,, ment. I believe the market for the next area between roughly 270 and 255. After few the weeks may hold in a trading pattern is completed, some ';, c lew will be given as to the direc tion of the next move. -;; , I ',' The longer term pattern is also uncertain. Since January, the market' ; has held in the comparatively narrow (13) trading range between 240.72 i' and 277.51. Recently, the internal action of the market has been poor. . ', Unless this action improves, the possibility that the entire 277-240 area i;', is a distributional top must be taken into consideration. If such proves ,;' to be the case, a further substantial decline could occur. The downside (. implications of such a pattern are not certain because the pattern is not ,. yet complete. At the moment, there is a potential of 230-225, but this ;-,1 would be changed if the pattern broadens by further backing and filling ,' in the broad trading area. ; I )., ' It is not certain that this is the pattern. I mention it only as a ,! ; possibility. However, if the market over the next few weeks fails to pene- ' F,c,, trate the 277.51 high of September and then breaks below made on the current reaction (259.46 so far), a downward whatever low is trend would be 'I , signalled. f' 7. Because of this uncertain pattern, I continue to advise the invest- ment policy advocated by this letter in recent weeks. For accounts inte- ;,;, rested in capital appreciation of six months or longer, I recommend that ;,' 75 of funds be held liquid as a buying reserve. The remaining 25 should be invested in secondary stocks with good long term technical patterns. ;' I reprint below issues of this type that were mentioned in recent letters j – American News Hall Printing , , /,-, , til Blaw Knox o Bliss, E.W. o Hazel Atlas Glass Hewitt-Robins .,f' ' Bucyrus Erie Burroughs Lerner Stores I 0 Marshall Field , .C a r r i e r McGraw Electric ' & Certain-Teed National Supply City Stores f New York Air Brake I' ,, ' , Columbia Broadcasting olumbia Pictures It OtiS Elevat CD Poor & Co. \-I1IL ,\1' 1'- …,c; ctllieov1''ess Elliott Company Smith, A.O.

I', '' As expected, the market continues to hold in a trading area bounded ',– roughly by 267 and 256 in the Dow-Jones industrial average. The October ;;; r 22nd low of 259.46 was followed the October 30th low of 256.39. by a This rally to 266.79 and then a decline to week's rally carried back to 265.82 r;,, on Thursday where it temporarily entered overbought terri tory. The average ;' declined again to 261.01 on Friday. In my opinion, it is necessary for the market to undergo a further ,f consolidating movement in the 255-269 area in order to form a new technical,'; pattern. When this formation is completed, a clearer indication of the I; – near term trend of the market will be given. The direction of the next move'.—', is as yet uncertain. However, the weight of technical evidence at hand leans toward the side of lower prices. Would continue to maintain 75 rI,;,'' liquidity in intermediate term capital appreciation accounts. 'I,I,'', Since April, when most issues in the group reached their highs for ;,; the year, the airlines have done little marketwise. As older readers know, ,, this letter originally recommended the airlines in November, 1949. Since ,',,, that time they have advanced sharply in price. What is the outlook for the ' group now I,, I stated earlier in the year that the airlines would be one of the , few groups whose earnings would probably be substantially above 1950. It ;., now appears that many of the airline companies will show record earnings ;; for 1951 and the present outlook is that 1952 earnings will be even higher .' , – This, coupled with the favorable long term technical patterns, indicates ; that the selected airline stocks should continue to be held and purchased ,,; during periods of market weakness. In my opinion, at the April highs, the f airlines completed only about 50 of the indicated long term advance from ,; the 1949 lows. There is no indication of an immediate move and the airlines;-t might even work moderately lower in a general market decline. However, there; is good support not too far below present levels and the group appears to L,; be in good defens i ve position. r, Listed below is the list I originally recommended on November 25, -;; 1949, together with other pertinent data.

(''1 '/ r,'. tAV; II The market continues the process of building a new technical pattern,;; r'The decline from the September high of 277.51 on the Dow-Jones industrials ', , reached a low of 254.91 this week as compared with last week's low of 256.39'', ,Between present levels and the June low of 240.72, there are several support',, tP.evels. The first is around 255 followed by 250 then by 245 and finally the !l ;,June low. It must be remembered that the general market, regardless of spec -'',; ,'tacular moves in individual issues, has held in comparatively narrow range I,;' 'since the first of the year. The low was reached the first day of the year \'' at around 236 but, with the exception of four or five trading days, the mar-; I,,ket has held in the 240-277 area for the entire year. This range of about liS h,- ;iS comparatively moderate and is one of the narrowest percentage trading ;,'I , ranges in the past fifty years. Only time will tell whether or not this com-o'i, 'paratively narrow trading area is a period of distribution or a period of ;;'1.; -re-accumulation prior to a further rise. The situation is uncertain enough h, to warrant a continued cautious attitude in intermediate term trading accoun;8 , concerned mainly with capital appreciation over a six-month period. I continue to ad,vise a 25 invested position and 75 of funds as a buying reserve. iF\' r From a nearer term point of view, the market appears to be wedged ir,';, ,between a support level at 255-240 ',overhead supply at 270-277. It may in the Dow-Jones industrials, take considerable time before and a eithe rheoafvy',' .' these levels are penetrated. The short term indicator became oversold this '; !week and gave a short term buy signal at the close on November 8th. The in- I,,' ;,termediate term indicator is entering oversold territory and could give a ,' jy;,buy signal in the next ten or twelve trading days. This might result in a (;;; ', rally to the overhead resistance at 270. The dec line from the September highs has resulted in bringing a 't;; num' 'ber of issues down to what appears to be interesting levels for long-term ,' 1;'-'!-;'m'ayp preciation. recommended Several o list and f these should issues are reviewed below. They are part of be purchased on weakness provided accounts ;,), t//'- ,',;still have a sufficient buying reserve after purchase. They are also inte- ;;, I,' resting switch possibilities from issues in vulnerable groups. F' \ CARRIER CORP. (22 1/4) is the largest independent manufac turer of rc',; 'air-conditioning equipment. 40 of volume is in smaller units and another V , 40 is large, heavy equipment for industrial plants. The company has a strong ,growth potential. Sales have increased from 4.8 million in 1930 to 13.0 i', 'million in 1940 and 62.4 million in 1950. The stock has a very strong tech- ;; \ nical pattern with a long term objective of more than double its present j, ,price. There is strong support not far below present levels. The low of the ;\\ cpas t eight years has been 12 1/8 and the high has been 34. Should be bought ' 'on all price dec lines for long term patient holding. ,i,,' . , PHILCO CORP. (24 1/2). This company also has tremendous growth possi; ,','billties as a participant in the electronics and television field. 1950 sali;l ' 'were more than six times the 1939-1940 level. Net worth has more than quad- '/; rupled in the same period. The company is one of the largest producers of ' ; television sets with a capacity of over a million annually. In addition, thE! , company manufactures radio receivers, radio-phonographs, refrigerators, I' ',' freezers, air-conditioning equipment, electric ranges, radio and television ,i, cf;;;'', tubes, micro-wave relays and computers. The technical pattern is good with ,long term potential of over 40. f)i ,,' SYLVANIA ELECTRIC (33) was originally recommended in the low twentiJ's. ;; A high of 39 was reached earlier this year and the stock appears to be an t,,; i','attractive purchase near current levels. There is very strong support at 30-' ;',28. Earnings, despite a dip in the third quarter, are expected to show up (!, ';well against the 1950 total of 5.37 a share. Company is one of the leaders r, in the electronics field and, as such, has excellent growth possibilities. ,Company is one of largest manufacturers of radio receiving tubes. In 1950 i', i',made 20 of fluorescent lamps and 10 of r..candescent lamps. Sales of tele- ';vision tubes were about one-sixth of the industry total. Dividends have been- i;, paid each year since 1931. The stock has an excellent long term technical ; ;' r;, pattern and should be bought ln the 32-28 area. EDMUND W.

The sharp decline resulted in an reached oversold ;;; f-' condition on my short-term technical indicator and a resultant buy signal ,; I, on November 8th. The rally carried to a high of 262.29 this week. However, i-'J' !)!\ the market seemed to encounter considerable resistance at 262 and a short ;-,J, f term sell !-; sentiment signal was given late Thursday. These quick shifts in trading could continue for some future time while the market is building i t;; .a new pattern in the 255-270 area. The direction of the next intermediate q';;' tnrmove is not yet clear. Further weakness over the next few days might result 0-Jz 1' in an oversold condition on the intermediate term indicator which gave a i' i;',i; sell signal in September near the year's high. At the present writing, this ; Isignal is still in effect. r,' fl I continue to advocate the policy of holding substantial cash reser- ;; !hes in accounts mainly interested in intermediate term capital appreciation ! i ,This, of course, does not apply to long term investment accounts whose main 1'1 k1concern is income and long term appreciation. There is nothing in the long -t f;term picture that necessitates disturbing sound investment holdings. ;, '''' However, for intermediate term accounts, the price pattern for the ,'; ;next six months is uncertain enough to warrant keeping 75 of funds liquid 'i;as a buying reserve to purchase undervalued issues at the proper time. The ''; \-'remaining 25 of available funds should be invested in situations that have -, C!sound long term patterns and have not been unduly exploited in the 117 point l.',lrise from the June, 1949 lows. There are a sizeable number of such situa- ; 1Itions available. They may not necessarily move higher against the general ' ;.;market trend but their patterns suggest that they are in a good defensive / !'IipoSition and should be the first to advance when the uptrend is resumed.

', The previous lows reached earlier in the month were 254.91 and 78.02. There,' ; is fairly strong support in the industrial average at 255-250 and, despite; i,– my longer term bearishness, I believe there is a good chance that the market,; ;' will hold in that area. Tax switching may cause some further irregularity , I', but continued weakness would result in an oversold condition on the short ,; term indicator which gave a sell signal last week. The intermediate term ;;,'; i' indicator has not yet changed the sell signal given in September near the ,; ; year's high but further weakness would also result in this indicator reach-'; ing oversold territory. So far nothing has occurred to warrant a change ;!; ! in my recommended policy of 75 liquidity in capital appreciation accounts. t; , However, if the necessary technical indicators are given, I will advise increasing invested position to 50 on further weakness. ,,';, ;J C The rail pattern is not quite so clear. This is due primarily to the , fact that individual rail issues show extremely diverse technical patterns. ,c' ,; – This has been true for a long time. Over two years ago, I advised switch- ,ing out of New York Central and Pennsylvania into Seaboard Air Line R.R. ,,; ', when all three issues were selling around 18. This seemed a rather startling,; -, sritch at the time but it worked out very nicely. New York Central and ,-'. ,,' Pennsylvania are still selling at 18 while Seaboard is around 60. \,\ ,-, Both Pennsylvania and New York Central continue to have mediocre ; – technical patterns and I believe better appreciation possibilities are ,' i.; present in other rail situations. Holders of both of these issues would, 'J -' in my opinion, improve their longer term position by switching out of — these issues into Minneapolis, St. Paul and S.S. Marie (Soo Line) and 0\' Western Maryland. All four issues are selling at around the same price level.

An advance at this time would be in accordance with the usual traditio/);i- ial pattern. On many occasions in the past, the market has reached a low in l -November or December and then staged a sharp advance into January or Februa1j. ',''I'he present technial pattern suggests that such an advance is possible at ;;;thiS time. Just how far such an advance could carry in this particular inst-;, (',ance is extremely problematical. There is a very heavy supply area at 270-27'71,, ,,;.,;that will furnish strong overhead resistance. However, indications are prom-,',! !;ising enough to advise increasing invested positions, in accounts concerned 7,;'; t,,;'mainly with capital appreciation, from the 25 invested pOSition formerly i,;'iadvised to 50 invested and the balance held as a buying reserve. This in noli ;I';'I1way alters my longer term opinion that the market is in the process of buildi1'. t;dng a broad distributional top in an area bounded roughly by 240 and 280 in ; ''the industrial average and that the market in 1952 or 1953 will eventually ;' ,;decline to the i,,commitments in 220-200 level before the major advance is resumed.

I,;, The individual issues showing the best technical action during the i;i let,l i;o tipeptember-November decline were the secondary issues of the type carried in vi (.my recommended list and in which I have advised continued holding up to 25 'r; ;pf available funds with the remaining 75 liquid as a buying reserve. The fj' ,-,efensive action of most of these issues has been above average and price l!' ''ideclines, in the main, were relatively moderate. On the other hand, many of k Jthe top grade If growth issues If that had advanced sharply over recent months bi f;'I,nd had overdiscounted their immediate prospects and which I advised avoicl.- J;ing, sUffered a sharp decline. The industrial average dropped 22 points or 1';; ,.pproximately 8 from the high of 277 to the recent low of 255.

At the day's high, L ;the market was near the heavy overhead supply at 270. For thirty-four (;1; !;!trading days in September-October, the industrials held in a range between '277 51 and 269.08 on a turnover ot approximately sixty million shares. The f'; market will most likely find it difficult to push through this upside re- ; ,';sistance and if it does, it may spend quite some time doing so. It would ''' be normal technical action to expect the market to back down moderately ', !;after the first attempt to approach this level particularly after the sharp ,rise from the November 26th low ot 255.20 to 268.95, a rise of 13.75 pointS ;oin eleven trading days. I would expect a further attempt to penetrate the C ,,,–, 270-277 resistance after a corrective phase. '-'. If holdings in longer term appreciation accounts are below the 50 – , -' ,- ;invested level recently recommended, would be inclined to purchase issues , ,'that have not yet participated in the recent rise. Two of the issues in my'-' ,;recommended list – one a better grade issue and the other a lower priced — ;' stock – are reviewed below.

This last figure is ,; 'ieq',ivalent to approximately 11.50 a share. There are 1,411,468 common ,;-shares outstanding with no bonds or preferred stock. ,;; Earnings for 1951 are estimated at 2.50 a share against 1.99 in -'1950.

Dow-Jones industrials is merely a technical rally in a longer terr, downtrena I, ,about all of the upside potentials have been reached at last week I s high , .J of,- ),;'268.95. The advance has (1) retraced about two-thirds of the twenty-three ;,;,point decline fro, the September high of 277.51. This is the allowable I,laxi,;. U);um retracement of a preceding move without changing the trend. (2) The ad-c f)vance has closed the October 22nd downside opening gap between 267.00 and'- 1/265.90. Many technicians believe that gaps between the range of one day , 'and that of the previous day ,1USt be closed before the move in the direction of the gap is resumed. (3) The industrials have rallied to just below the ' ,heavy overhead supp ly between 269.04 and 277.51. – ;r/ The ability of the average to rally above 2,- n L.reasing volume '..,would, in my opinion, be a constructive sign and indicat;2 a possible chan'ge !'in trend and at least a testing of the September high and the possibility ,'(' ; of a new high not too far above 277.51. The inability to move much above ;i.'last week I s high of 268.75, followed by a downside penetration of the Novem- 'ber low of 254.91, would indicate a continued downtrend of at least inter- -mediate term proportions. Until more definite indications are given, would -, ,continue with my previous recommendation of only a 50 invested position in ;',cafiital appreciation accounts. ,,' For accounts less than 50 invested, or for switching purposes, the three stocks mentioned below offer interesting possibilities for longer terci- , appreciation. One of the three, Cornell-Dubilier, has been previously ad- ;',;vised. The other two are new additions to my recommended list. All three ',are in the speculative category. CORNELL DUBILIER ELECTRIC (18 3/8) is the largest manufacturer of –, ,', capaci tators. Its products are used by television, radio, utili ties, fluo- — ',rescent lighting, aircraft, communications and various other industries. ;Defense backlog is large. Earnings for the fiscal year ending September 30 ,are estimated at around 3.70 as compared with 3.96 in the fiscal year — '',' ended September 30, 1950. Sales will show an increase and lower net is main' ',,ly due to heavier taxes. Dividends are expected to continue at a 30 cent 'quarterly rate with the possibility of an extra dividend some time in 1952.- The stock sold at a high of 27 7/8 in 1946 and as low as 7 in 1949. – The recent upside penetration of the year and a half trading range between ' ',,17 and 12 indicates higher levels. There is good downside support at 17-15. ';, BELL & HOWELL (19) manufactures precision-made motion picture cameras, I')projector equipment, sound and picture reproducers and still cameras. It ,– ,';also manufactures microfilm equipment which is distributed by Burroughs – r,Adding Machine. There are distino'c growth possibil i ties in microfilm and idemand for projectors and equipm,'mt from SChools and institutions should also show continued growth. 1951 earnings are estimated at 2.50 as against- 3.52 in 1950. Third quarter earnings w;r.; cut by retroactive tax charges. vii th increased defense orders, 1952 pro spec ts are favorable. Dividends, which have been paid for thirty-two consecutive years, are conservative at ',';the indicated rate of 50 cents regular yearly, and 50 cents extra. ,,' The stock sold at 37 in 1946 and reacted to a low of 11 1/8 in 1949. i,lThis year I s high is 23 1/4. The stock appears to be building up a very 'strong technical pattern. Some further work may be needed in the 17-23 area- , -but the potential long term objective is considerably above present levels.' GEORGIA-PACIFIC-PLYWOOD (20 1/4) seemed very reasonably priced at the ,recent low of 17 5/8 and had reached the downside objective outlined by the v26-25 top. Some further backing and filling in the 18-23 area may be neces- sary, but the stock appears to be building up a strong potential base i,' pattern and should be bought during periods of moderate price declines. – Lower plywood prices have caused a dip in earnings of most plywood companies, but the situation appears to be showing signs of improvement. ,' The 1.50 dividend provides a yield of over 7 and seems secure. Earnings for the nine months ended September 30th were equal to 3.40 a common share, ; Our Research Department recently issued a very complete report on this 'i/, company giving a more detailed picture.

Its products include linoleum, asphalt tile, ;'; 1,'cork insulation glass, containers, and numerous specialties. Its well diver;'!'; !;sified procuct lines include over three hundred items and are also sold to ', ;;many diversified industries.

Present levels compare with';, f,a high of 64 3/4 in 1946 and a 1947 low of 38 1/4. Earnings for 1951 are ;-;1 '''estimated at 5.60 as against 8.13 in 1950.

This compares with 3.40 a share for the ,;!, \ (1' 1950 fiscal year. Sales also reached a new high at 80.9 million as against ' i;62.3 million in the previous year. This stock has been on my recommended .) -i- list for a ;long time. It was originally recommended around 12. The pattern ,'7 ;(,i is still extremely favorable. The long term pattern suggests a price object'7\' i'ive of over 40. There is good downside support at 19. Stock should be bough,t, '–on all minor price declines. . (;. RUPPERT (JACOB) (11 1/8) is the eighth largest brewery in the countr,yo, hbased on capacity. Its principal market is the New York metropolitan area. ' , F Stock has had a steep decline in price from the 1946 high of 34 1/2 to the I 11'11950 low of 8. No dividends have been paid since 1948.

The stock market in 1951, as measured by the Dow-Jones industrial ,–average, fluctuated within one of the narrowest percentage ranges in the j)ast fifty years. The low of the year was reached the first trading day, ,',p-anuary 2nd, at 234.93. The high was attained in September at 277.51. iThis is a percentage range of only 18 from the low to the high. For the 'reater part of the year the industrial average held in the 242-268 area. ,'– , 0; In addition to the narrow range of the industrial average, 1951 wasf ,!a.lso unusual in the fact that this was the first year in history that the 1,, ','Dow-Jones industrial average failed to sell below 200. In my opinion, it ;; 'i is PJtobable that this average \'13eeable future, although this will continue to hold above 200 level may be closely approached for the in 1952 foreand ii,'- '\11so possibly in 1953. ,;c, , I expect that the market in 1952 will fluctuate over a wider range i,' ;'than in 1951. Probably the year's high will ;;pf the year. At the moment, I doubt that it be reached in will be much, the if first at all , qaubaortveer/r';; ',the 277 high of September, 1951. On the downside, the industrials might ,',C -''yvork down to around the 220 level later in the year. As I envision the ; 'general market, it appears that it will undergo a consolidation or re- ',; ,'ccumulation period at moderately lower levels. This type of action could k continue well into 1953 and would be the necessary prelude to a much highed,, ;market from 1954 on. In effect, it would be similar to the 1946-1949 re- f; ;',accumulation range between 160 and 210 on a Slightly reduced scale. ,',if,'.pr1ce This does not mean that pattern. Even though the all issues and groups will show averages may make little upside the same progress, i-,;-' 1'-' I ',,It is possible that many individual issues could have worthwhile inoves. Several groups have above average technical patterns not upside only from 1,,'-;; ;1Van appreciation viewpoint but also for their good defensive qualities. f'– I,',' My favorite groups for 1952 include airlines, building materials, f ,,)lectronics, machinery and equipment, selected rails and utilities.
