Indices Suffer More Technically Damaging Losses

For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell -1.4%, and the S&P 500 Index lost -2.4%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index declined -3.7%. On Friday's session the indices finished firmly in the red and near their session lows. The volume totals were reported mixed, slightly higher on the Nasdaq exchange and slightly lower on the NYSE versus the prior session. Decliners led advancers by more than 3-1 on the NYSE and more than 4-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but on the Nasdaq exchange new lows outnumbered new highs. There were only 12 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down abruptly from the prior session total of 60 stocks. The session concluded with gains for only of the 44 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

Stocks were under pressure from Friday's opening bell following a disappointing report from the Labor Department. Looking at the results, non-farm payrolls rose 115,000 in April, missing consensus projections of 168,000. Private payrolls increased by 130,000, falling short of estimates by 58,000.  The disappointment overshadowed upward revisions to the March results. The sole bright spot in the employment report was the unemployment rate, which ticked lower to 8.1%.

On the earnings front, shares of LinkedIn Corp (LNKD +7.21%) rose after the company posted stronger-than-expected results in the first-quarter and raised their full year earnings guidance. Nine of the 10 S&P sectors finished lower, led by declines in tech and energy-related stocks. As crude oil fell -$4.02 to $98.52 per barrel shares of Chevron Corp (CVX -2.14%) and Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM -1.26%) headed lower. Also in the space, Apache Corp (APA -3.15%) was down after announcing that they will curb production of crude oil and natural gas in the Gulf to repair corroded equipment.

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 Friday, Body Central Inc (BODY -48.55%) was nearly halved after a disappointing earnings report. A review of its past notes via the "view all notes" link reveals repeated warnings that it had not triggered a buy signal since it was highlighted again in yellow on 4/18/12. 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 to use caution. 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.

Distributional action from the major averages' (M criteria) soon after the recently noted follow-through-day has quickly put the uptrend back under pressure yet again and some would argue this is technically another "correction".  Note that market leadership (stocks making new 52-week highs) has waned yet again. Disciplined investors know that following proper rules for buying and selling increases their likelihood of getting the "above average" gains they are seeking.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index slumped under its 50-day moving average (DMA) yet again, and its recent lows define near-term support to watch.

Energy, Tech, Retail, and Financial Groups Led Decliners

The Oil Services Index ($OSX -3.81%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.24%) suffered big losses on weaker energy prices. The Networking Index ($NWX -2.52%), Internet Index ($IIX -2.30%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.10%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.71%) ended unanimously lower. Losses from the Retail Index ($RLX -1.83%) added a negative influence on the major averages and financial shares also created a drag while the Bank Index ($BKX -1.99%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.22%) fell.  The Healthcare Index ($HMO -2.20%) was also unable to shake off the market's widespread weakness. Meanwhile, the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.03%) held its ground.

PICTURED 1: The Bank Index ($BKX -1.99%) slumped under its 50-day moving average (DMA) line again and fell toward prior lows. The recent technical deterioration hurts the broader market outlook, as longtime readers know that the financial group is considered a reliable "leading indicator".

PICTURED 2: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.22%) has fallen for 6 consecutive session and it is slumping well below its 50 DMA line.

BODY SLAMMED!

After damaging technical action, stocks are noted and dropped from the Featured Stocks list. Watchful investors following this fact-based system have likely seen more than one warning sign noted to alert them to avoid or reduce exposure by the time a stock is dropped from the list. Learn lessons from these examples! Follow proper buying and selling rules to reduce risk so, in the long run, you can best increase your chances of getting the "above average" returns which are ultimately desired. Losses are a reality, and all investors must learn how to minimize them. A good way to avoid losses starts by not making "early" purchases. Undisciplined and inexperienced investors jump before a confirmed technical buy signal, or they may load up heavily instead of pyramiding their buys. 

Body Central Corp (BODY -$14.04 or -48.55% to $14.88) gapped down badly today and its shares were halved. Based on the damaging technical action it will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight. It reported earnings +6% on +22% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, below the +25% minimum guideline, disappointing investors. That was well below the +25% minimum earnings guideline for buy candidates. Its huge gap down violated its 50 DMA and 200 DMA lines. This poor technical action very vividly demonstrates that fundamental (earnings) news can have a direct and immediate impact on any company's share price.

BODY's shares had slumped below its 50 DMA line one additional time and then they rebounded with lackluster volume behind subsequent gains since its last appearance in this FSU section on 3/13/12 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Found Support at 50-Day Moving Average Line".  Ownership by top-rated funds had risen from 100 in Mar '11 to 209 in Mar '12, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. But when a stock falls nearly 50% with 22 times average volume in one day it is very obvious that institutional investors fought their way to the exits. 

The Market Commentary has clearly reminded readers - 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.

It did not trade above the new pivot point cited based on its 3/26/12 high plus 10 cents after building an orderly flat base. Previously noted - "The late-stage base may be a riskier set-up, yet volume-driven gains could trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal."

Y - Small gap down today tested support at its nearby 50 DMA line. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/27/12 high plus 10 cents after a flat base. 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.

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.

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."

The 5/03/12 mid-day report noted - "Volume-driven gains this week have it rallying from a tight consolidation and "square box" base above its 50 DMA line. 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."

Y - Rebounding near its 50 DMA line which may now act as a resistance level after the technical violation on the prior session.

It dipped below its 50 DMA line with today's 2nd consecutive loss with above average volume, trading to its lowest level since its 4/13/12 gain backed by +49% above average volume technically confirmed a buy signal."

Y - Pulled back with near average but higher volume today, finishing near its 50 DMA line. It recently attracted institutional support near that important short-term average. Subsequent losses may raise greater concerns, and its prior low ($102.66 on 4/24/12) defines the next important near-term support level.
