Breadth Negative as Indices Fall With Less Volume

Stocks finished lower on Monday. The Dow was off 208 points to 15885. The S&P 500 lost 29 points to 1877. The NASDAQ was down 72 points at 4518. Volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a sign of less pressure from the institutional crowd. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers more than a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 5 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, matching the prior session total. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The Featured Stocks Page was trimmed considerably as weakness weighed on prior leaders and the broader market.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index's recent gains lacked volume conviction while sputtering near prior lows after volume-driven losses.  At the intra-day low last Wednesday the tech-heavy index traded -17.5% off its record high hit in July 2015.

The fact-based investment system always prompts investors to reduce exposure by selling faltering stocks in weak markets. New leadership (stocks hitting new highs) has become elusive as the major averages (M criteria) resumed their previously noted "correction" and distributional pressure from the institutional crowd brought widespread damage to stocks. This is a good time to keep a watchlist of the strongest stocks, meanwhile, preserving cash and reducing risk until a new confirmed rally is finally noted.

The major averages retreated as oil prices resumed their descent. Crude losses were extended as Saudi Arabian Oil Company announced that it would not cut investment and could sustain low oil prices for a “long, long time.” On the data front, a gauge of manufacturing in the Dallas Fed region showed a larger-than-expected decline.

In M&A news, Tyco (TYC +11.64%) rose on news that the company will merge with Johnson Controls (JCI -3.90%). In earnings, McDonald’s (MCD +0.68%) after fourth-quarter earnings climbed more than expected. D.R. Horton (DHI -4.73%) fell after revenue came in below Wall Street consensus. Halliburton (HAL -3.01%) fell after posting a quarterly loss.

All ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished in the red on Monday. Energy shares tumbled more than 4% to lead the decline along with materials and financial stocks. Treasuries snapped a two-session losing streak with the benchmark 10-year note advancing 11/32 to yield 2.01%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI lost 7.2% to $29.87/barrel and is now roughly 16% lower in 2016. COMEX gold gained 1.1% to $1108.40/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar depreciated against the yen and euro.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX-3.46%) suffered a big loss on Monday undercutting prior lows. Members were recently reminded - Weak action from financial shares hurts the broader market outlook because the major indices have been prone to there most severe downdrafts when financial stocks are weak. Financials have a history of being reliable "leading indicators".

Someone Ignored the Sell Rules? What Next?

Have you been reminded that all high-ranked leaders eventually fall out of favor? Featured stocks which were dropped and later reviewed, like Ambarella (AMBA) on 9/03/15, and Skyworks (SWKS) on 9/17/15, serve as great educational examples of the investment system's tactics.
