Breadth Negative as Indices Erase Early Gains to End Mixed

Stocks fluctuated on Tuesday. The Dow added 28 points to 16016. The S&P 500 was up 1 point to 1881. The NASDAQ declined 11 points at 4476. Volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. New leadership remained elusive as there were only 2 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page. The Featured Stocks Page has been trimmed considerably as weakness weighed on prior leaders and the broader market. New 52-week lows solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index fell on Tuesday and finished further below its lowest closes of August 2015. The tech-heavy index is -14.4% off its record high hit in July 2015. 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 could not hold morning gains after oil prices tumbled lower once again. In economic news, China announced fourth quarter GDP growth of 6.8%, bringing total the 2015 increase to 6.9%. While that represents the slowest advance in 25 years, equities in Europe and Asia spiked on the expectation of more stimulus from Beijing. Domestic data was light although updates on inflation and housing will be released Tuesday morning.

In earnings, Morgan Stanley (MS +1.1%) climbed after soundly beating consensus profit estimates. Despite missing EPS projections, Delta Airlines (DAL +3.2%) rose on higher first quarter guidance. Bank of America (BAC -1.5%) fell after falling short of revenue expectations. Yahoo (YHOO +2.1%) rose after Barron’s called for the company to be broken up.

Five out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished higher on Tuesday. Consumer staples and utilities stocks paced the gains while energy materials shares again underperformed.

Treasuries were lower with the benchmark 10-year note off 4/32 to yield 2.05%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude descended another 3.7% to $28.34/barrel. COMEX gold lost 0.2% to $1088.30/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar was little changed against its peers.

Commodity-Linked Groups, Biotechs, and Financials Fell

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.13%) and Bank Index ($BKX-0.64%) both suffered losses and had a negative influence on the major averages while the Retail Index ($RLX+0.61%) posted a modest gain on Tuesday. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.15%) eked out a small gain while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.76%) edged lower and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -2.72%) suffered a large loss. The Oil Services Index ($OSX -3.51%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.97%) were down big again, and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -6.22%) was a standout decliner.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX-0.64%) has slumped badly as damaging losses undercut prior lows. Longtime readers of this commentary may remember that weak action from financial shares hurts the broader market outlook because the major indices have been prone to there most severe downdrafts when financial stocks are weak. Financials have a history of being reliable "leading indicators".

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.
