The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 Index, and Nasdaq Composite Index collectively violated their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines on Monday coupled with waning leadership. The change in behavior earned the market (M criteria) the label of a "correction" again.  New buying efforts should not be made in stocks, even if meeting all fundamental and technical guidelines of the fact-based investment system, until the broader market shows renewed strength.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index slumped below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line near prior lows.

The major averages extended Monday's retreat as falling oil prices continued to weigh on risk assets. WTI crude dropped -4.5% to a new five-year low of $47.79 per barrel amid speculation that U.S. stockpiles expanded last week. Disappointing economic data added to the downside. Factory orders fell for a fourth straight month in November and a report revealed U.S. services industries expanded in December at the slowest pace in six months.

Weakness in financials weighed on the major averages as the Bank Index ($BKX -2.66%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -2.15%) both fell more than -2%. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.93%) suffered a smaller loss. The tech sector saw unanimous losses for the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.19%), Networking Index ($NWX -2.16%), and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.58%). Energy-related shares drifted lower again as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.42%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.20%) sank.

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +5.63%) was a standout gainer on Tuesday while most groups fell. It rebounded above its 50 DMA line and above recent highs.

VRX went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line then rebounded since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 4/04/14. VRX was last shown in this FSU section on 4/02/14 with annotated daily and weekly graphs under the headline, "After Damaging Losses a Rebound Above 50 DMA Line is Needed ", consolidating below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after damaging losses triggered a technical sell signal.

It reported better than expected Sep '14 quarterly results with earnings +45% on +33 sales revenues, above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). A downturn in FY '07 and '08 earnings (A criteria) was been followed by a strong earnings rebound in recent years. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,056 in Mar '14 to 1,127 in Dec '14, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. The high-ranked Medical - Ethical Drugs firm completed Public Offering on 6/18/13. The upshot of Public Offerings is that when completed the end result is typically an increase in the total number of institutional owners. Institutional owners are often supportive of their existing positions and will even accumulate more shares when they consolidate near classic support levels like the 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines, if they are still believers in the company. If too many become pessimistic and decide to unload, this is what ends up sending the stocks slicing through support.
