Volume Higher, Breadth Negative, and Leadership Waned as Indices Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks tumbled on Tuesday. The S&P 500 declined 35 points to 2,044. The NASDAQ fell 82 points to 4,859. Behind the losses, the volume totals for the session were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing more serious selling conviction from the institutional crowd. Breadth turned clearly negative as decliners led advancers by nearly a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership contracted as there only were 11 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 31 stocks. The new 52-week lows totals swelled and solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were losses for 10 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.

Concerning the M criteria, the major averages' uptrend has come under more pressure this week as leadership (stocks hitting new highs) has waned. Readers were reminded that any sustained rally for the major averages requires a healthy crop of stocks hitting new highs. New buying efforts should only be made in stocks meeting all of the fundamental and technical guidelines the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with a big loss of 332 points to 17,662.

The major averages careened lower as investors focused on a strong dollar and rate hike timing. Dallas Fed President Fisher urged the Fed to increase rates ahead of reaching full employment. After the close, the Fed was set to release the capital review reports on large lenders.

Economic data was light with small business optimism rising in February but by less than projected. In January, a measure of business inventories rose 0.3% versus estimates for a 0.1% decline.

At the close, all 10 S&P 500 sectors were lower. Tech and financials paced the retreat. Apple (AAPL -2.07%) erased its prior gains. In financials, JP Morgan (JPM -2.5%) and Bank of America (BAC -2.35%) both sank. Energy and materials slid in sympathy with commodity prices. Freeport McMoRan (FCX -4%) and Exxon Mobil (XOM -1.06%) both fell.

Treasuries rallied as a perceived haven asset. The 10-year note advanced 19/32 to yield 2.12%.

Commodities were mostly lower. WTI crude fell -2.7% to $48.63/brl. on the heels of an unfavorable Department of Energy outlook. COMEX gold lost 0.5% to $1,160.60/oz. In FOREX, the dollar advanced 0.8% with the euro off 1.4% to $1.0696/EUR and the yen up 0.1% to ¥121.07/USD.

Financial, Retail, Tech and Commodity-Linked Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.10%) eked out a tiny gain while most groups ended lower on Tuesday. Weakness in financial shares created a drag on the major averages as the Bank Index ($BKX -2.45%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.67%) both lost ground. The Retail Index ($RLX -1.50%) also was a negative influence. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.92%) and the Networking Index ($NWX -1.22%) led the tech sector lower. Commodity-linked groups also fell as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.22%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.14%), and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -2.04%) suffered unanimous losses of more than -2% each.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Oil Services Index ($OSX -2.04%) recently slumped back below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line toward prior lows as energy-related shares continued to sputter.

Rallied Above Max Buy Level Following Strong Earnings News
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Ambarella Corporation (AMBA -0.97 or -1.84% to $66.61) finished just above its "max buy" level with near average volume behind today's gain. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks more than +5% above their prior highs. On 3/02/15 a new pivot point had been cited based on its 1/13/15 high plus 10 cents. Then, on 3/04/15 it gapped up for a considerable volume-driven gain triggering a technical buy signal after it reported earnings +162% on +62% sales revenues for the Jan '15 quarter - continuing to show impressive sales revenues and earnings acceleration in sequential quarterly comparisons (see annotated graph below).

The high-ranked Electronics - Semiconductor firm was last shown in this FSU section on 2/18/15 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Violation of 50-Day Moving Average Triggered Sell Signal". A subsequent rebound above the 50 DMA line helped its outlook improve. Members were reminded - "Keep in mind that any stock that is sold can always be bought again if strength returns. Disciplined investors do not make excuses for any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price.""

AMBA's fundamentals match with the fact-based investment system guidelines with quarterly comparisons showing improvement above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 51 in Dec '12 to 220 in Dec '14, a reassuring indication concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is also an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 27.6 million shares in the public float can contribute to great price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.
G - Previously featured in past reports as yellow but may no longer be buyable under the guidelines.
