Indices Mixed With Negative Breadth as New Lows List Swells

Stocks were mixed on Monday. The Dow added 52 points to 16398. The S&P 500 was up 1 point to 1923. The NASDAQ fell 5 points to 4637. Volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by nearly a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained thin as there were 5 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, matching the prior session total. There were losses for 2 of the 3 high-ranked companies remaining on the Featured Stocks Page. That list was trimmed as market weakness weighed on prior leaders and the broader market. The new 52-week lows totals swelled again as they solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index halted its slide on Monday. After damaging volume-driven losses toward prior lows, the benchmark index is -9.9% off its record high.  Concerns rose as it and the other major averages again slumped well below their respective 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

The fact-based investment system always prompts investors to reduce exposure by selling faltering stocks in weak markets. New leadership (stocks hitting new highs) has become elusive as the major averages (M criteria) resumed their previously noted "correction" and distributional pressure from the institutional crowd brought widespread damage to stocks. This is a good time to keep a watchlist of the strongest stocks, meanwhile, preserving cash and reducing risk until a new confirmed rally is finally noted.

The major averages fluctuated throughout the session after falling at least 6% last week. Investor attention will turn to earnings after the bell, with Alcoa’s report marking the un-official start to fourth-quarter reporting season. According to Bloomberg data, consensus projections are for S&P 500 profits to drop 6.7% versus the same period a year ago.

In M&A news, Baxalta (BXLT -2.27%) fell after agreeing to a cash-and-stock takeover offer from Shire PLC (SHPG -9.94%). Macy’s (M +8.2%) rose on news that major shareholder Starboard Value is pushing the company to monetize its real estate value.

Seven out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory on Monday. Consumer staples and discretionary stocks paced the gains while energy and materials shares once again underperformed. Headlining the losses in energy was Freeport-McMoRan (FCX -20.33%) falling sharply and sinking to its lowest level in 15 years.

Treasuries were mixed with the curve steepening. The benchmark 10-year note retreated 14/32 to yield 2.17%. In commodities, NYMEX crude shed another 5.7% to $31.24/barrel while COMEX gold slipped 0.3% to $1094.30/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar pushed higher with strength against the euro.

Help Available For You in Making Fact-Based Buy/Sell Decisions With Greater Success

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. In the past we reviewed Ambarella (AMBA) on 9/03/15 and Skyworks (SWKS) on 9/17/15. 

Previously featured stocks which were dropped can serve as great educational examples of the investment system's tactics. Some are vivid reminders that all high-ranked leaders eventually fall out of favor.
