Major Averages Fall Under Distributional Pressure

Thursday's session saw unanimous losses for the major averages and widespread weakness.  The volume totals were higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a sign of distributional pressure or a pick-up in selling from large institutional investors with the greatest influence on the market. Decliners led advancers by more than 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange and more than 2-1 on the NYSE. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs still outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 60 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 49 stocks. The session concluded with gains for 11 of the 44 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

Mixed economic data did little to calm investors' anxiety heading into Friday's jobs report. Weekly jobless claims came in better-than-expected, but were offset by a weaker-than-projected reading on the ISM non-manufacturing index. Treasuries were little changed with the 10-year note adding a tick to yield 1.92% and the 30-year bond higher by 5/32 to yield 3.11%.

Corporate profit tallies also provided a mixed picture. Whole Foods Market Inc (WFM +7.57%) reported earnings ahead of analysts’ expectations. Zillow Inc (Z +11.91%) also rallied following a positive quarterly report. On the downside, Weight Watchers International Inc (WTW -18.05%) and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc (GMCR -47.76%) fell hard following disappointing earnings results. Shares of Prudential Financial Inc (PRU -10.06%) were also under pressure after the company posted a loss in the first-quarter.

Stocks included on the Featured Stocks Page have high-ranks and the strongest characteristics, however they are not immune from abrupt declines, and this is especially true in earnings season. This again and again demonstrates that fundamental (earnings) news can have a direct and immediate impact on any company's share price. On Wednesday, Ubiquiti Networks Inc (UBNT -0.42%) topped estimates and gave in-line guidance, but its shares tumbled. Sharp pullbacks in other recent leaders that dropped off the Featured Stocks list, Herbalife Ltd (HLF) and Tempur Pedic International Inc (TPX), should serve as vivid reminders - investors should always be disciplined and watch for a proper technical buy signal to be confirmed before taking any action, then steadfastly protect capital by selling whenever any stock falls more than -7% from the purchase price.

More distribution days could start to spell trouble for the market. The major averages' (M criteria) noted follow-through-day and confirmed uptrend still gives investors a favorable environment in which to take action as any ideal buy candidates emerge from sound base patterns. Healthy market leadership (stocks making new 52-week highs) is critical to any market rally, so investors should watch for the new highs lists to include a large number of stocks reaching the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page.  Disciplined investors know that even in a bullish environment, following proper rules for buying and selling increases their likelihood of getting the "above average" gains they are seeking.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average recently traded above its prior highs just briefly, but it has been encountering resistance near its March - April highs.

No Sparkle for Gold & Silver Index Amid Widespread Losses

Defensive groups were hammered with the largest losses on Thursday as the Healthcare Index ($HMO -4.02%) and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -3.56%) led declining groups. The tech sector was also very weak as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.48%), Internet Index ($IIX -2.03%), Networking Index ($NWX -2.03%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.22%) finished with unanimous losses. Modest losses from the Retail Index ($RLX -0.91%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -0.62%) were a negative influence on the major averages as well, and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.49%) ended with a bigger loss.  Weakness in energy-related shares pressured the the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.81%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.29%), rounding out a session marked by widespread losses.

Consolidation Following Exceptional Breakaway Gap

Leading stocks that are breaking out of a solid base are often highlighted in CANSLIM.net's Mid-Day Breakouts Report. The most relevant factors are noted in the report which alerts prudent CANSLIM oriented investors to do any necessary backup research, and the investor should be prepared to act quickly after the stock triggers a technical buy signal (breaks above its pivot point on more than +50% average turnover) but before it gets too extended from a sound base. In the event of a "breakaway gap" there is one exception to the usual rules, and yet disciplined investors know to buy as near as possible to the pivot point and avoid chasing stocks after they have rallied far above their pivot point. It is crucial to always limit losses whenever any stock heads the wrong direction, and disciplined investors sell if a struggling stock ever falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

Expedia Inc (EXPE -$1.02 or -2.40% to $41.43) was highlighted in yellow in the 4/27/12 mid-day breakouts report (read here) after its considerable "breakaway gap" up above the pivot point cited based on its 3/26/12 high plus 10 cents. It reported earnings +63% on +12% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Quarterly earnings have been above the +25% minimum guideline in 3 of the past 4 comparisons and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been good.  The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 919 in Jun '11 to 978 in Mar '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The Leisure - Travel Booking industry group has earned the highest possible Group Relative Strength Rating of 99/A+, a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria.  

A breakaway gap is the one noted exception where the usual limit can be stretched to allow for disciplined investors to buy as much as +10% above the pivot point. Longtime readers know that the regular limit above the pivot point is +5%, and the further one chases a stock above its pivot point will increase the likelihood that an ordinary pullback of -7-8% might prompt them to sell based on the fact-based system's strict selling rules. Although approximately 40% of successful breakouts pull back to test support near their prior highs before continuing higher, historic studies also suggest that buying on strength yields far better results than buying stocks on their pullbacks.

Technically, its volume driven-gain on the prior session triggered a technical buy signal capping a streak of 6 consecutive gains with an above average volume gain as it hit a new 52-week high and traded above its 2007 high within close range of its all-time high ($31.92 Dec '99). Reported earnings +25% on +23% sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. The 3 prior quarterly comparisons (through Dec '11) showed sales revenues increases above the year ago periods by +50%, and earnings increases were above the +25% guideline in 3 of the past 4 comparisons.

G - Still stubbornly holding its ground near its all-time high with volume totals cooling since a considerable gap up gain on 4/18/12.

Disciplined investors always limit losses if any stock falls -7% from their purchase price.

Y - Loss today on lighter volume has it slumping back below its 50 DMA line, hurting its technical stance. A new pivot point was cited based on its 3/27/12 high after forming a "double bottom" base. There is limited resistance due to overhead supply up through the $104 level. Due to report earnings on May 8, 2012 after the close.

The recent low ($22.60 on 4/19/12) defines the next near-term support above its 200 DMA line. Previously noted - "A volume-driven gain above its recent chart high ($25.49 on 3/21/12) may help trigger a proper technical buy signal after a new base formation, however no new (lower) pivot point is currently being cited, and it may continue encountering stubborn resistance."

Y - Gapped up today, rallying from support at its 50 DMA line to within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Color code is changed to yellow while rallying from its first test of its 10-week moving average (WMA) since breaking out above resistance in the $554 area in February. In the Certification they teach that after an earlier breakout a secondary buy point exists between the first successful test of the 10 WMA up to +5% above its latest high. The 2-week consolidation is not considered a sound base pattern, yet the pivot point cited is based on that recent high. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Technically, it broke out on 2/13/12 with a volume-driven gain, and now it is getting extended from its prior base. Fundamentals have remained strong since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/29/11. Patient investors may watch for secondary buy points to possibly develop and be noted."

It already has tested support at its 10-week moving average line multiple times this year, so it may not be considered an ideal "secondary buy point" now.

G - Rebounding from earlier lows following a gap down today after reporting earnings +22% on +60% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Color code was changed to green based on fundamental and technical concerns after failing to break out from the previously noted "double bottom" base pattern. No recent buy signal was triggered. Sales revenues had shown impressive acceleration in the Jun, Sep, and Dec '11 quarterly comparisons with earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline in the Sep and Dec '11 comparisons. Deterioration below the recent low ($40.91 on 4/24/12) would raise more serious concerns.

G - Color code is changed to green after getting more extended from its prior highs with today's 3rd consecutive volume-driven gain. The volume-driven gain to new highs triggered a new buy signal on 4/26/12 as it was featured in the mid-day report and noted - "Reported earnings +43% on +39% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. It held its ground stubbornly after violating its 50 DMA line when a damaging loss with above average volume triggered technical sell signals on 4/10/12 and it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list. Earnings below the +25% guideline for the Dec '11 quarter (+21%) had also raised fundamental concerns at that time, however the stock's resilience and impressive acceleration means that 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons are now above the minimum guideline concerning the C criteria. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong."

Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point based on its 4/03/12 high plus 10 cents. Hit a new 52-week high today with a gap up and considerable volume-driven gain, quickly getting extended from an ideal buy range. Technically, on 2/09/11 it broke out from a 15-week cup shaped base without a handle. The 4 latest quarterly comparisons showed earnings increases satisfying the C criteria and it has a good annual earnings (A criteria) history.

G - Remains perched above its 50 DMA line very near its all-time high. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance, however no new pivot point was cited following its latest base. Concerns were raised by weaker fundamentals. Reported earnings +22% on +23% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, its first quarterly earnings increase below the +25% minimum guideline in more than 2 years.

G - Held its ground today but failed to rebound above its 50 DMA line and its color code is changed to green. Reported earnings +100% on +79% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Gapped down on 5/02/12 and violated its recent lows then quickly undercut its 50 DMA line, raising concerns and triggering technical sell signals with its largest point loss on the highest volume ever. The prior gain backed by more than 3 times average volume had confirmed a technical buy signal as it rallied from an advanced "ascending base" pattern. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

G - After its damaging loss violating its 50 DMA line on 4/24/12 raised concerns and triggered a technical sell signal that short-term average has been acting as resistance. Prior highs in the $75 area are the next important support level to watch.

Y - Pulling back today following its best close of 2012 on the prior session with a quiet gain while not quite rising above its pivot point. Promptly repaired a brief 50 DMA line breach last week, technically showing signs it attracted institutional support near that important short-term average.

Y - Gapped up today but reversed into the red. The 4/25/12 mid-day report cited a pivot point based on its 7/05/11 high after a near 10-month cup shaped base. Volume is best when light while forming a downward sloping "handle", however distributional pressure (losses on higher volume) near its 52-week high and pivot point kept it from yet triggering a technical buy signal.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point based on its 52-week high plus 10 cents. Today's considerable "breakaway gap" and volume-driven gain has it hitting a new 52-week high, breaking out of an orderly flat base pattern. The is no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Reported earnings +25% on +14% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Last noted in the 4/24/12 mid-day report - "Quarterly comparisons have shown strong earnings increases above the +25% guideline. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been improving since a downturn in FY '08."
