Indices Halt Slide Following Damaging Losses This Week

For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down -1.8%, the S&P 500 Index lost almost -2.1% and the Nasdaq Composite Index fell -1.9%. The indices ended Friday's trading session mixed, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 Index managing positive reversals - trying to halt their slide after damaging losses violated their recent lows and also their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines. Friday's volume totals were reported higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 7-5 margin on the Nasdaq exchange while the the totals were nearly even on the NYSE. There were 9 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 3 stocks, but a far cry from the total of 72 on Tuesday. Stocks hitting new 52-lows again outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange, whereas new highs had consistently trounced new lows on both exchanges in recent months. There were only 3 gains among the 11 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

Stocks toggled between gains and losses throughout the session as investors continued to digest Fed Chairman Bernanke's comments from earlier in the week. Seven of the 10 sectors on the S&P finished higher led by gains in consumer stocks as Procter & Gamble (PG +2.90%) led the space. On the earnings front, Oracle Corp (ORCL -9.26%) fell following a weaker-than-expected profit tally. Darden Restaurants (DRI -2.17%) was also lower after the company posted earnings that missed analysts' estimates.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were lower along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was off nearly a full point to yield 2.54% and the 30-year bond gave up over a full point to yield 3.59%.

The market (M criteria) weakness has been noted as a "correction" and this commentary has repeatedly reminded members - "Be protective of any gains, and limit losses!  Be especially watchful for any individual issues flashing technical sell signals.  It is vitally important to your success with the fact-based investment system to reduce exposure and preserve cash during market downdrafts."

There is a need for caution until a follow-through day of meaningful gains from at least one of the major averages on higher volume coupled with an expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs). Watch upcoming CANSLIM.net reports and especially the bold portion for us to observe any noteworthy shifts in the market direction (M criteria). 

Individual leaders best matching the winning models of the fact-based investment system are on the Featured Stocks Page - with our Certified experts' latest notes and links to additional resources including detailed analysis with annotated graphs.  The Premium Member Homepage - includes "dynamic archives" to all prior pay reports published. Watch for an announcement via email concerning the next WEBCAST.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and prior lows on the prior session, yet managed a "positive reversal" for a gain on heavier volume to end the week on an encouraging note.

Defensive Groups Led Friday's Gainers

Defensive groups were the leading gainers on Friday as the Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.03%) and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.33%) bounced. The Retail Index ($RLX +0.02%) finished flat and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.15%) and Bank Index ($BKX +0.28%) eked out small gains. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.25%) and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.57%) posted modest gains while the Internet Index ($IIX -0.21%) and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.09%) edged lower. Energy-related shares were quiet as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.06%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.03%) finished virtually unchanged.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX +0.28%) is consolidating near recent lows and above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Perched Near 52-Week High Enduring Distributional Pressure

E Q T Midstream Partners (EQM -$0.63 or -1.25% to $49.87) ended with a loss on above average volume, encountering distributional pressure after challenging its 52-week high this week. The recent low and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line define important near-term support in the $45 area. There was a "negative reversal" on 5/28/13 at its 52-week high. Having rallied more than +20% in the first 2-3 weeks after its breakout, the investment system rules suggested holding such winners for a minimum of 8 weeks. This rule is because many of the investment system's biggest winners and best examples among the winning models were those companies that had tallied big gains shortly after their breakouts, then went on to produce dramatic gains. It has been more than 8 weeks since its 4/25/13 breakout now, and it remains in healthy shape, however more damaging losses and subsequent weakness in the broader market may prompt investors into selling and protecting their hard fought gains.

EQM was last shown in this FSU section on 6/06/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Retreating Toward 10-Week Moving Average", after 4 consecutive losses and clear signs of distributional pressure. Based on the prior analysis a valid secondary buy point arguably exists from its successful test of support at the 10 WMA line, up to as much as +5% above the latest high ($51.72 X 1.05 = $54.31). However, all new buying efforts are off since the major averages fell into an ugly correction, since 3 out of 4 stocks follow the direction of the major averages (M criteria). 

This MLP in the Natural Gas business reported strong results for the Mar '13 quarter, and quarterly earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Accelerating sales revenues increases are very reassuring, as its sales revenues increased by +18%, +26%, +38%, and +43% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '12 and Mar '13 quarters versus the year-ago periods, respectively. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 20 in Jun '12 to 38 in Mar '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Slumped further below its 50 DMA line with a loss on average volume. A rebound above its 50 DMA line is needed for its technical stance and outlook to improve. Completed a Secondary Offering on 5/31/13. The prior low ($25.47 on 4/25/13) defines near term support above its 200 DMA line. Due to weak action it will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list.

Y- Volume-driven gains earlier this week helped it rally above its pivot point triggering a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Prior highs define initial support to watch, while any close below its old high close ($59.13 on 5/10/13) would raise concerns and completely negate the prior technical breakout.
