Stock Suffer Broad Losses on Lighter Volume

The major averages ended lower as the dollar rallied after European debt woes continued to spread. As expected volume was lighter compared to Friday's heavy options expiration levels. Decliners led advancers by more than a 3-to-2 ratio on the NYSE and by nearly a 2-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. Leadership was narrow on Monday as there were only 4 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, higher than the 0 issues that appeared on Friday. It is difficult for the market to mount a sustained rally without a healthy crop of strong leaders.

Fresh contagion woes spread after Spain said it stepped in to save one of its largest banks. The Bank of Spain put CajaSur, a large Spanish bank, under a provisional administrator after the bank lost 596 million euros ($739 million) on 426 million euros in revenue last year. This sent a slew of financial shares lower across the globe as investors were concerned that more banks will fail. 

In the US, the National Association of Realtors said sales of existing homes (i.e. previously owned homes) rose in April to the highest level in five months. The report said buyers scrambled to buy the homes before the government's tax credit expired. Sales increased +7.6% to a 5.77 million annual rate. This was the highest reading since November 2009 which was the month the incentive was first due to expire. Initially, housing stocks rallied on the news but the bears quickly showed up and quelled the bulls' efforts.

Monday marked Day 2 of a new rally attempt which means that as long as Friday's (Day 1) lows are not breached, the earliest a possible FTD could emerge would be this Wednesday )(Day 4). However, if at anytime, Friday's lows are breached, then the day count will be reset. What does all of this mean for investors? Simple, the market remains in a correction which reiterates the importance of adopting a strong defense stance until a new rally is confirmed. Trade accordingly.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is -2.8% from its 2010 low and -12% off its 2010 high. Its 5/21/10 gain marked Day 1 of a new rally attempt.




Energy and Financial Groups Dove While Defensive Groups Held Up

Energy-related and financial shares were among Monday's biggest decliners as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -3.95%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.52%) slumped and Bank Index ($BKX -3.29%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -2.47%) also erased the bulk of their Friday gains and more.  The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.88%) and Networking Index ($NWX -0.92%) led the tech sector lower, followed by the Internet Index ($IIX -0.31%) and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.12%).  Defensive groups held their ground as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.03%) and Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.04%) finished virtually unchanged.

Broader Market Weakness Hindering Majority Of Stocks

Rovi Corp (ROVI -$0.73 or -1.94% to $36.83) recently endured distributional pressure, and while it is now trading just below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, it is also consolidating only -7% from its 52-week high without a great deal of resistance due to overhead supply. It makes a good candidate to have on investors' watch list until a new confirmed rally, meanwhile broader market action (M criteria) may be expected to adversely impact 3 out of 4 stocks. Its 50 DMA line may now act as resistance, while a convincing gain above that important short-term average line would help its outlook improve.  Its recent chart low ($33.17) defines near-term chart support above its 200 DMA line. Its 4/23/10 gain for a new all-time high helped it clear a fresh base but was noted as it lacked sufficient volume to trigger a proper new technical buy signal. Earlier, ROVI had triggered a technical buy signal with a high-volume gain on 3/02/10 that may have signaled the beginning of a substantial advance, but thus far it made limited progress. Earnings per share increases in 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period showed better than +25% growth.
