Major Averages Ended Above Worst Levels With Less Volume Behind Losses
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages finished lower on Monday while the volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, down from Friday's totals inflated by options expirations. Decliners led advancers by more than a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 10 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down abruptly from the total of 58 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. There were gains for 2 of the 10 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The Market (M criteria) uptrend faced some recent pressure and yet the rally has continued. For any rally to be sustained it is critical for there to be healthy leadership, so it remains crucial for many stocks to continue hitting new 52-week highs.
The Dow lost 26 points to 16,276. The S&P 500 fell 9 points to 1,857 and the NASDAQ declined 50 points to 4,226. Equities were under pressure amid weak economic data. U.S. manufacturing edged lower in March as Markit magazine's factory activity index slowed to 55.5 from a near four-month-high of 57.1 in the previous month. In addition, a measure of China's manufacturing activity weakened for the fifth straight month to an eight-month low. The situation in Ukraine also weighed on the market as Russia's troops seized Ukrainian ships and military installations in Crimea following its annexation of the peninsula last week.
As a result, seven of the 10 S&P 500 sectors declined. Health care and consumer discretionary stocks paced the retreat as Pfizer (PFE -2.14%) and Netflix (NFLX -6.67%) declined. The more defensive telecommunication and utility sectors advanced as AT&T (T +0.47%) and Southern Co (SO +0.61%) rose.
Treasury prices gained ground ahead of a government auction of $32 billion in two-year notes tomorrow. The 10-year note gained 3/32 to yield 2.73%. The 30-year bond was up 24/32 to yield 3.57%.
The CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks Page shows the most action-worthy candidates and their latest notes and a Headline Link directs members to the latest detailed analysis with data-packed graphs annotated by a Certified expert along with links to additional resources. The Premium Member Homepage includes "dynamic archives" to all prior pay reports published. Watch for an announcement via email concerning the next WEBCAST.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index undercut its 50-day moving average (DMA) line intra-day yet finished the session a few points above that important short-term average.

Negated Recent Breakout and Testing Support at 50-Day Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
FleetCor Technologies, Inc's (FLT -$2.88 or -2.39% to $117.59) recent slump below its old high close ($122.70 on 12/02/13) raised concerns as it completely negated the prior breakout. Still it is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, an encouraging sign of institutional support, but its Relative Strength rating has slumped to 78, below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Fundamentals remain strong with earnings +32% on +26% sales revenues for the Dec '13 quarter continuing its strong earnings history satisfying the C criteria.
FLT last appeared in this FSU section on 3/05/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Consolidating Following Recent Breakout to New High Territory". It made limited headway after highlighted in yellow with a pivot point cited based on its 12/02/13 high plus 10 cents in the 3/05/14 mid-day report (read here). Members were previously cautioned - "Odds are most favorable for investors who buy while a stock is rising, rather than buying stocks on pullbacks. Disciplined investors limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price."
The company hails from the Finance - Credit Card Payment Processing group which currently has a mediocre 55 Group Relative Strength Rating, however, impressive strength and leadership from a couple of other firms in the same industry group is considered a sufficient reassurance concerning the L criteria. The company completed a Secondary Offering on 9/11/13. Prior Secondary Offerings on 3/14/12, 6/11/12, 11/29/12, and 3/08/13 were previously 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 193 in Mar '12 to 574 in Dec '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

G - Posted a gain today for a best-ever close. Held its ground since reporting earnings -2% on +22% sales revenues for the Dec '13 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns. Its 50 DMA line defines near-term support where a violation may trigger a technical sell signal. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and new annotated graphs.
