Lindsay Corporation (NYSE: LNN), a leading provider of irrigation systems and infrastructure products, announced today that its president and chief executive officer, Rick Parod, 63, has informed the Board of Directors of his intention to retire on December 1, 2017 to spend time with his family, travel and pursue other interests.

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Bear Market Rally Continues The market remains in bear market rally mode, and our price target remains the 200-day MAs on the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 (IWM), as discussed in last week's Compass (Oct. 25). Longer-term, this is still a bear market until the S&P 500 and IWM can break above their respective YTD downtrends/200-day MAs, and markets could easily test their lows again. With that said, there are signs that suggest breakouts above YTD downtrends/200-day MAs could be coming. Catalysts inc...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

ear Market Until Proven Otherwise In our Sept. 27 Compass, and with the S&P 500 down 11.5% during the prior two weeks, we discussed our belief that the market indexes could see a bounce or pause in selling. The S&P 500 and Russell 2000 (IWM) have gone virtually nowhere since (i.e., a pause), and we still cannot rule out a bear market rally as long as the 200-week MA (3590-3600) holds on the S&P 500, and as long as $162-163 holds on the Russell 2000 (IWM). To confirm a bear market rally, we need...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

S&P 500 Testing 3900; Commodities Topping? Major equity indexes remain in pullback mode, consistent with our narrative of the past two weeks. Key supports are currently being tested at 3900-3910 on the S&P 500, $293 on the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ), and $177-178 on the Russell 2000 (IWM). We see a bounce as possible at these levels, but breaks below these levels would virtually guarantee a test of the YTD lows -- or worse... see charts below. Commodity Prices Topping? We believe sustained lower commodi...
