While the rails last week i , 'were able to better their September high of 87.04 to reach 87.80 and are ini' I', a position to again test the February high of 90.82, the industrial average', ,,,, has acted rather sluggishly. This average reached its high in mid-September i,-at 277.51 and reacted to 269.08 later in the month. Last week's rally carrid the industrials back to 277.30. This week's low was 271.46. An upside pene-, , tration of the 277.51-269.08 trading range would indicate a continuation of' ; ,the uptrend from the July lows. A downside penetration might have consider-', ' , ably more significance and indicate a top of at least intermediate term ;'proportions. ,',' However, regardless of the action of the averages and the general (,-' market, there are a great many individual issues that have strong long term ,,, ',' technical patterns. In looking over the graphs of a number of individual ;,' ' issues showing the monthly price range Since 1929, it was interesting to note '''how many issues were selling below not only the highs of 1946, but also the ,highs of 1937. Of course, this does not mean that these issues are necessari- , ,ly undervalued or behind the market. In fact, quite the reverse is more apt ;' ,to be true. The fact that these issues have been unable to better former , , highs usually signifies a lack of growth potential. The great majority of 'growth stocks are selling above their 1929 highs as well as 1946 and 1937.' However, when a stock is selling below its highs of 1937 and 1946, ',,-, ' ,and has an upward trend of earnings plus a favorable long term technical ( , 'pattern, it merits some conSideration. Below are three issues in my recom- ,,, mended list….. AMERICAN RADIATOR 122l ',- High 29' 23 1612 -a ', , ,, ' Earnings Dividend 68 95 2.05 ' 60 40 1.25-1.59' ,.' This stock has paid continuous dividends since 1936. It has built up ;,,,' a very favorable long term technical pattern. It has held in the 10-17 po- , ''', tential base area since 1946.

CALIF. 265 Montgomery Street SUTTER 11700 ,., , , The market sold off sharply in the last hour of Friday's trading and the Dow-Jones industrial average declined 3.83 to reach an intra-day low of 269.23. Further weakness would result in a downside penetration of the 277.51 to 269.04 trading shelf in which the industrials have held for 35 trading days. The rail average penetrated the downside of the shorter twenty-day trading range between 87.80 and 84.40 to reach a low of 83.63. , A downside penetration by the industrials would have conSiderable technical significance when coupled with generally deteriorating long term technical pattern that I have been mentioning recently -, in this letter. It would, in my opinion, indicate the end of the t,'!. approximately thirty-seven point advance from the June low of ,. i, ' 240.72 in the industrials. The fact that the rails failed to reach the February high of 90.82 on this rally, despite the fact that the industrial average advanced more than twenty pOints above the February high, lends credence to the thought that the market may have reached at least an intermediate term top. As mentioned in recent letters, the market has appeared stronger than it actually was. Strength in a relatively few issues caused the averages to advance while wild gyrations in a few speculative issues concealed the fact that the majority of stocks were making little upside progress. A study of forty-one graphs of individual groups showed that twenty had reached their highs prior to July 1st despite the fact that the averages reached new high territory. The internal action of the market as shown by the number of advances and declines, new highs and lows and advancing and declinir volume, and other factors, has been confirming this divergence of action that occurs at all important tops in the market. ,. , Such a decline, if it occurs, would meet initial support at about 265, but would most likely show an ultimate dip to the 260-255 area. That would be all I would expect 'on the first phase of the decline. If a full intermediate correction is in ii /',,' the offing, the market would have to rally from the 260-255 area to further broaden the tops in chemicals, oils and other , ' recent leaders that have only relatively minor tops at the moment. For intermediate term trading accounts interested in long term capital gains of six months or longer, my advice continues the same as that mentioned in recent letters. The outlook for the next six months is uncertain. Would confine commitments to better quality secondary issues with favorable long term patterns. I would use only 25 of available funds for issues of this type and keep 75 of funds liquid as a buying reserve. , ,, ,, ,,' , October 19, 1951 Closing Averages EDMUND W.

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. There is overhead supply in the 270-277 area that will halt any immediate rise. ', 1; , /,', must Before the market moves very far be formed. 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.
