Damaging Losses on Heavier Volume Signal Market Correction
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks retreated on Monday. The Dow fell 1175 points after briefly trading more than 1,500 points lower. The S&P 500 slid 113 points to 2648, with only two stocks in the index finishing higher. The Nasdaq Composite declined 273 points to 6967. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange as the indices clearly endured more worrisome distributional pressure. Decliners led advancers by a decisive 8-1 margin on the NYSE and by 7-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week lows totals swelled and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership evaporated as there were 6 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 21 on the prior session. The Featured Stocks Page provides the latest analysis on noteworthy high-ranked leaders. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
 PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with Monday's big loss on higher volume. Heavier distributional pressure on the major averages (M criteria) took the recently noted "uptrend under pressure" into a worrisome "correction" warranting much greater caution. During market corrections investors should avoid new buying efforts and raise cash by quickly reacting to technical sell signals from stocks on a case-by-case basis.
The major averages extended last week’s pullback, with Monday’s session representing the steepest percentage decline since 2011 for both the S&P 500 and Dow. The three day decline which started Thursday also left both indices in negative territory for the year, despite strong January gains. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) more than doubled on the session to its highest level in more than two years, while perceived “safe haven” assets such as gold and Treasuries rose. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note, which started the session near 2.84%, dipped 11 basis points to 2.73%.
All 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished firmly lower. Financials led the losses on the session, with every bank in the S&P 500 losing at least 2%. Industrials also lagged, with 2017 high-flyers Boeing (BA -5.74%) and 3M (MMM -5.60%) each losing more than 5%. Energy shares in the S&P 500 lost 4.4% as West Texas Intermediate crude prices slipped 2.6%. The perceived defensive sectors such as Utilities and Real Estate outperformed on a relative basis amid the drop in interest rates.
On the data front, The Institute for Supply Management revealed services activity rose to near the highest level in a decade at 59.9, beating expectations of 56.7. |

Damaging Violation of 50-Day Moving Average Line
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Houlihan Lokey Inc (HLI -$2.26 or -4.77% to $45.08) violated its 50-day moving average DMA line ($43.70) with today's volume-driven loss triggering a technical sell signal. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve. Recently it reported earnings +21% on +5% sales revenues for the Dec '17 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns. On 10/26/17 it completed a Secondary Offering.
The high ranked Finance - Invest Bank/Broker firm was last shown in this FSU section on 1/03/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Tight Weekly Closes Formed Advanced Base Pattern". Annual earnings growth (A criteria) history is a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. It has an Earnings Per share rating of 96.
Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under only slight accumulation over the past 50 days.It has a current Timeliness rating of A and a Sponsorship rating of C. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 165 in Jun '16 to 312 in Dec '17, also a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of only 26.3 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. HLI traded up as much as +39.6% since first highlighted in yellow at $35.85 in the 5/11/17 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 3/31/17 high plus 10 cents after an orderly flat base.

G - Violated its 50 DMA line ($46.84) with a volume-driven loss today triggering a technical sell signal. Only a prompt rebound would help its outlook improve. Recently reported earnings +21% on +5% sales revenues for the Dec '17 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns. On 10/26/17 it completed a Secondary Offering.
