TPA now has a Sell rating on 4 of the top 12 stocks in the S&P500; AAPL, MSFT, META, and UNH. MSFT’s negative rating came yesterday. (Table and charts below). Each of these stocks has convincingly broken below its long-term uptrend line. The relative performance chart shows that all of the stocks, with the exception of UNH, have greatly outperformed the S&P500 YTD.
What are the implications?
- These stocks have been the leaders all year. When the leaders turn down, others will follow.
- These are just singular events that do not have implications for the larger market,
- These breakdowns will reverse and these stocks will make new 2023 highs.
What should clients do?
Clients should monitor this situation carefully. Right now, it is just 4 stocks. If more stocks follow the breakdown pattern, clients should become more risk-averse. Either way, these 4 stocks are stocks to avoid for now until they prove themselves again.
