Market Correction Grows More Obvious as More Technical Damage Mounts
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
S&P 500 Index posted its biggest daily percentage decline since June as the major averages fell on Monday. The volume totals was reported higher than the prior trading session's volume totals on the Nasdaq exchange while NYSE volume was lighter. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by about a 6-1 ratio on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 7 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the total of 20 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the Nasdaq exchange but new lows outnumbered new highs on the NYSE. There were losses for all of the 13 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that has recently been waning. The Market (M criteria) has encountered distributional pressure and leadership (stocks hitting new highs) has waned, earning the label of being in another "correction". Such weakness serves as a reminder for investors to use caution and remain disciplined in following proper sell rules under the fact-based investment system to reduce market exposure.

Equities suffered a setback on the first trading day of February. The Dow retreated 326 points to 15,372. The S&P 500 shed 41 points to close at 1,741. The NASDAQ dropped 107 points to close below 4,000 at 3,996.

The major averages added to their pullbacks in 2014 prompted by disappointing manufacturing data. Shortly after the open, the Institute for Supply Management reported factory activity declined in January to its slowest pace in eight months. A separate release revealed construction spending increased a modest +0.1% in December.

All 10 sectors in S&P 500 finished firmly in negative territory on the session. Telecom was down the most amid concerns of increased competition. AT&T Inc (T -4.11%) fell after it unveiled price cuts on its premium wireless service plans. Verizon (VZ -3.35%) also slumped. Consumer discretionary and industrials also weighed on the market. The new General Motors Company (GM -2.30%) and Ford Motor Co (F -2.74%) fell after reporting weaker-than-expected January auto sales. Railroad operator Kansas City Southern (KSU -5.06%) fell. Pfizer Inc (PFE +0.66%) was a notable gainer, after a study on a drug for advanced breast cancer met its goals.

Treasuries gained on Monday’s session. Benchmark 10-year notes rose 20/32 to yield 2.57%.

Investors should be watchful for any individual issues flashing technical sell signals.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average violated its 200-day moving average (DMA) line with Monday's large loss, slumping under that important long-term average for the first time since late 2012. A prompt show of support near the 200 DMA line would be an encouraging sign, meanwhile, further deterioration would raise greater concerns regarding the broader market outlook.

Financial, Tech, Retail, and Commodity-Linked Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Down on Higher Volume Ahead of Quarterly Earnings Report
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Michael Kors Hldgs Ltd (KORS -$3.26 or -4.08% to $76.67) slumped back further below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line today while falling on higher volume, trading toward its prior low ($74.11 on 1/16/14) defining the next important support level. Recent losses on higher volume indicated distributional pressure. The company reports quarterly financial results on Tuesday, February 4, 2014, before the market opens. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 1/09/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Technical Deterioration and RS Rating Slump Raises Concerns". It had gapped down on 1/07/14 violating its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and triggering a technical sell signal then suffered an additional damaging loss on above average volume indicating distributional pressure. A later rebound above its 50 DMA line with gains lacking great volume conviction was short-lived before slumping again.

Its Relative Strength rating at 81 is just above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Fundamentally, it has maintained high ranks due to its strong earnings history (meeting C and A criteria) including earnings +45% on +39% sales for the Sep '13 quarter. This high-ranked Apparel - Clothing Manufacturing firm has headquarters in Hong Kong.

It completed Secondary Offerings on 9/25/12 and 2/20/13, each time while perched near its all-time highs. Prior reports noted - "Such offerings often are a short-term hindrance to upward price progress yet typically result in broader institutional ownership interest." The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 326 in Mar '12 to 958 in Dec '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Color Codes Explained :
Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.
G - Previously featured in past reports as yellow but may no longer be buyable under the guidelines.

Its Relative Strength (RS) rating has fallen to 67, below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. A rally above recent resistance in the $25-26 area is needed for its technical stance to turn bullish.
