Damaging Losses Earn Label of a Market Correction
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks sold off sharply on Monday. The Dow slid 349 points to 17596. The S&P 500 tumbled 43 points to 2057. The NASDAQ lost 122 points to 4958. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was solidly negative as decliners led advancers by a 10-1 margin on the NYSE and by 7-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership waned as there were 20 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 77 stocks. New 52-week lows totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. There were losses for all 16 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page, a more negative bias than the broader market.
Monday's damaging action prompts greater caution! Technical weakness in the major averages (M criteria) earned the label of a "correction" as the Nasdaq Composite Index violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, joining the Dow and S&P 500 Index, both of which already had recently slumped below their respective 50 DMA lines.
Investors should closely watch individual issues and be ready on a case-by-case basis to sell any stocks triggering technical sell signals. This is precisely how the fact-based investment system encourages investors to reduce exposure during uncooperative markets. Keep a watch list of the strongest stocks meeting all of the key fundamental and technical criteria while waiting for the market to eventually produce a new confirmed rally.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index sank below its May-June lows and nearly tested support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.
The major averages retreated as uncertainty around Greece intensified. The
country imposed strict capital controls and closed banks until after a July 5th
referendum on proposed austerity measures. The Euro Stoxx 600 finished 4.2%
lower on the news, the biggest one-day decline on the index since 2011. On the
domestic front, a release showed pending home sales for May were in line with
expectations.
All ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory. Materials
and financials were the worst performers on the session. Dow Chemical (DOW -3.57%) paced materials while JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM -2.5%) headlined the
financial losses. In corporate news, shares of Tegna (TGNA +5.05%) formerly known as Gannett (GCI -5.17%) after the company spun off its publishing division.
Assurant (AIZ -2.57%) slumped and MBIA (MBIA -23.44%) fell hard on reports that
Puerto Rico will not be able to fulfill its debt obligations.
The risk-off trade caused by global uncertainty provided strength for U.S.
Treasuries. The benchmark 10-year note closed up a full point and 9/32 to yield
2.32%.
Commodities were mixed. WTI crude retreated 2.5% to $58.16/barrel. COMEX gold
gained 0.5% to $1179.00/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar index lost 0.5%.

Financial, Retail, Tech and Commodity-Linked Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -3.46%) and Bank Index ($BKX -2.50%) both suffered losses, and weakness from the Retail Index ($RLX -2.31%) also created a drag on the major averages. The tech sector saw unanimous losses for the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -3.02%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.91%), and the Networking Index ($NWX -2.18%). The Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.76%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.35%) both fell and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.19%) also slumped, rounding out the widely negative session.

Did Not Trigger a New Technical Buy Signal
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Jones Lang Lasalle Inc (JLL -$5.07 or -2.92% to $168.85) slumped to a close near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line today while broader market weakness (M criteria) raised concerns. Prior lows ($166.68 on 6/09/15) define the next important near-term support to watch where violations would raise greater concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.
After it last appeared in this FSU section on 6/04/15 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Forming New Base and No Resistance Remains", disciplined investors waited and did not see the volume-driven gains for new highs that it needed to trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. The new pivot point was cited based on its 4/28/15 high after building a short flat base. Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply, however, it has made limited headway since highlighted in yellow in the 2/03/15 mid-day report (read here) and noted - "Has the look of a valid Secondary Buy point up to +5% above prior highs."
Earnings rose +46%, 55%, +29%, and +147% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '14 and Mar '15 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods, respectively, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 513 in Mar '14 to 680 in Mar '15, which is a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 44.4 million shares in the public float contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Y - Pulling back near prior highs in the $41 area after wedging to new highs with gains last week lacking the great volume conviction indicative of serious institutional buying demand. Recent lows ($38.00 on 5/06/15) define the next important support where a violation would trigger a technical sell signal.

G - Loss on 2 times average volume indicated distributional pressure behind today's 5th consecutive loss. Extended from any sound base. Its 50 DMA line ($163.04) defines support where a violation would trigger a technical sell signal. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

G - Violated its 50 DMA line and prior highs in the $30 area today with a 2nd consecutive volume-driven loss and its color code is changed to green. Disciplined investors waited and did not see the volume-driven gains for new highs that it needed to trigger a technical buy signal.
