Conclusion, Investment Implications, Strategy

We exited our May 4th long idea in JM Smucker Company (SJM) on the open this morning for a 4% loss.

Analysis and Rationale

In our June 4th Asbury Alert, entitled JM Smucker Co. (SJM) Resuming March Advance, we said:

The J. M. Smucker Company (SJM) appears to be resuming its March major uptrend amid coincident quarterly relative outperformance versus the benchmark S&P 500 (SPX).  A sustained rise above the $132.34 area would help confirm this and would target an additional 15% rise to $160.00 per share.  This is an Asbury Momentum trade idea.

SJM was unable to hold the fresh high that it made on June 4th and has been slowly declining on weakening momentum ever since.  Therefore, we made a money management decision this morning to exit the idea before its 132.07 stop loss level was triggered.
