Decliners Trump Advancers as Major Indices Suffer More Damage
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages fell hard again amid renewed concerns that rising interest rates will negatively impact equity prices. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of distributional pressure. Decliners led advancers by an 8-1 margin on the NYSE and more than a 5-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week lows totals again solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. There were 9 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 7 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 has slumped below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with big losses 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.
On the data front, weekly initial jobless claims unexpectedly fell 9,000 to 221,000 versus a projected reading of 232,000. With the decline, the number of first time filings for unemployment benefits is hovering near its lowest point in 45 years. In central bank news, Philadelphia President Patrick Harker said he would like to see inflation tick slightly above the Fed’s 2% target.
Consumer Discretionary stocks paced losses while Real Estate and Utilities were the best performing groups. In earnings news, Tesla (TSLA -8.63%) and Hanesbrands (HBI -10.88%) as both companies posted disappointing quarterly reports. Shares of Kellogg Co (K +2.76%%), Coty (COTY +14.19%), Twitter Inc (TWTR +12.15%), and Grubhub Inc (GRUB +27.36%) rose after their quarterly results topped analyst projections. |

Financial, Energy, Retail, and Tech Groups All Hit Hard
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX -4.34%) and Bank Index ($BKX -4.42%) both suffered large losses and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.77%) also fell on Thursday. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -4.23%) and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -3.98%) led the tech sector's retreat as the Networking Index ($NWX -1.51%) also ended lower. Energy-linked groups suffered large losses as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -3.04%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -4.03%) both lost considerable ground, meanwhile the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.85%) fared better than most other groups as it edged lower. Charts courtesy wwwstockcharts.com
 PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.77%) has slumped below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line again. Charts courtesy wwwstockcharts.com
 PICTURED 2: The Bank Index ($BKX -4.42%) slumped back below its 50 DMA line and ended near the session low. The decisively weak action gives cause for concern and hurts the market outlook. Long time readers of this report know that financial groups have been very reliable "leading indicators" for the broader market's direction.

Fell Below 50 Day Average With Losses on Above Average Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Paycom Software Inc (PAYC -$1.60 or -1.89% to $82.90) slumped to a close below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($84.14) with today's 4th volume-driven loss in the span of 5 sessions raising more serious concerns. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks more than +5% above proir highs and always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price.
Recently it reported Dec '17 quarterly earnings +61% on +30% sales revenues, continuing its strong earnings track record. It has earned a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating, the highest possible rank.
It was last shown in this FSU section on 1/12/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Finished Strong With Big Gain on +118% Above Average Volume". It finished strong after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/27/17 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Its gain above the pivot point was backed by +118% above average volume triggering a technical buy signal.
The high-ranked Computer Software - Enterprise firm's current Up/Down Volume ratio of 0.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight distributional pressure over the past 50 days. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 286 in Mar '16 to 407 in Dec '17, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a Timeliness rating of A and Sponsorship rating of B. It completed Secondary Offerings on on 11/13/15, 9/16/15, 5/15/15 and 1/14/15 since its $15 IPO on 4/15/14. |

Most Recent Note - 2/8/2018 4:04:58 PM
Violated its 200 DMA line and prior low with today's big loss on very heavy volume. It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve.
