Can You Really Time The Stock Market?
News Corp Cl A broke out earlier, but has fallen back below the prior 30.04 entry from a cup without handle. If a stock you're tracking clears a buy point then declines 7% or more below the original entry price, it's considered a failed base. Wait for the stock to set up and breakout from a new base and buy point. Also understand that the latest consolidation is a later-stage base, and those involve more risk.
EPS growth declined in the company's most recent report from 33% to 22%, but sales rose from 3% to 5%.
The company earns the No. 2 rank among its peers in the Media-Newspapers industry group. News Corp Cl B is the top-ranked stock within the group.
