Tech-Heavy Nasdaq Composite Index Leads Market Retreat
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks were mixed on Tuesday. The Dow was up 47 points to 16049. The S&P 500 added 2 points to 1884. The NASDAQ declined 26 points to 4517. The volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was tilted to the negative side as decliners led advancers by nearly a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by more than 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained thin as there were only 6 stocks that made it onto the BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 4 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made a new 52-week high on the prior session. The total number of new 52-week lows solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 3 of the 6 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index briefly and barely undercut its 8/26/15 low during the session before ending Tuesday's session slightly higher. It met resistance before prior lows and its 50-day moving average (DMA) lines when rebounding, and its recent slide toward the late-August lows came with higher volume behind the losses. The MACD indicator has turned bearish.

The recent rally ended due to damaging losses and waning leadership as stocks retreated. The fact-based investment system requires disciplined investors to always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price. All 3 major averages (M criteria) remain well below their 200-day moving average lines. Members have been repeatedly reminded in recent weeks that at least 2 of the 3 major indices should be trading above their respective 200-day moving average (DMA) lines in order for a market environment to be considered technically "healthy". A lot of recovery work must be done to get the indices back into healthy shape, and that improvement could require some considerable time and patience.

The major averages fluctuated as investors weighed international uncertainty and mixed economic messages. In Fed news yesterday, New York President William Dudley advocated a possible interest rate hike before year-end while Chicago President Charles Evans urged caution. On the economic front, a study showed that home prices unexpectedly declined in July while consumer confidence showed a surprise move higher in September.

Seven out of the ten sectors in the S&P 500 gained on the session. Healthcare was the best performer while tech stocks lagged. In corporate action, Yahoo (YHOO +2.39%) rose after the company announced it plans to spin off its stake in Alibaba (BABA +0.75%) during the fourth quarter. Medtronic (MDT +2.87%) rose after announcing the completion of a favorable tax restructuring. McDonalds (MCD +1.58%) rose on positive analyst commentary following their transition to 24 hour breakfast.

Treasuries gained strength as the day went on. The benchmark 10-year U.S. finished 12/32 higher to yield 2.05%.

Commodities were mixed. WTI crude climbed 1.7% to $45.17/barrel while COMEX gold declined 0.4% to $1131.80/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar finished little changed after choppy trading.

Commodity-Linked Groups, Semiconductors, and Bank Index Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias on Tuesday as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.49%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.72%) rose, but the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.19%) ended the session with a small loss. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.71%) slumped, the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.01%) finished flat, and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.32%) edged higher. Tech sector was mixed as the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.39%) led the retreat and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.32%) also suffered a small loss, yet the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.71%) rose.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX -0.32%) met resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and fell below its 200 DMA line, slumping near its prior lows.

You want to get above average results, and market conditions (the M criteria) are challenging at times. Proper discipline and patience are paramount.

There are few stocks included on the Featured Stocks list now and none of the companies need additional review. At times like these we have an opportunity to look back and review. We recently reviewed Ambarella (AMBA) on 9/03/15 and Skyworks (SWKS) on 9/17/15 because previously featured stocks which were dropped can serve as educational examples of the investment system's tactics. It is also a reminder that high-ranked leaders eventually fall out of favor.
