Major Averages Negatively Reversed After Early Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Lingering European debt concerns weighed on investor confidence on Tuesday as the major averages started the session with a positive bias, then negatively reversed for losses and closed near their intra-day lows. Declining issues beat advancers by 7-6 on the NYSE and by 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. Volume totals were reported mixed again, slightly higher than the prior session total on the Nasdaq exchange and slightly lower on the NYSE. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but on the Nasdaq exchange new lows again outnumbered new highs. Leadership remained thin as there were only 8 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 7 on the prior session. On the Featured Stocks Page there were only 2 gainers out of the 14 high-ranked leaders currently included.
It was a quiet session on Wall Street with little conviction and lackluster results. Financial stocks reversed early gains after a regional Federal Reserve president recommended that banks be restricted to loans and deposits, to avert another meltdown of the financial system.
The best gain were in energy and mining stocks as crude closed above $99 per barrel. Gains from Chevron Corp (CVX +0.89%) and Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM +0.77%) kept the Dow close to break-even for most of the day after several investment banks raised forecasts for crude prices. El Paso Corporation (EP +6.53%) hit a 52-week high as the company announced a planned tax-free spin-off of its exploration and production unit.
Better-than-expected earnings lifted shares of AutoZone Inc (AZO +5.97%), as more people are fixing their old cars rather than buying new cars they cannot afford. The first day of trading on the Nasdaq was a big one for Russian Internet company Yandex N.V. (YNDX +55.36%) after the firm raised $1.3 billion in an Initial Public Offering.
On Monday the Nasdaq Composite Index and benchmark S&P 500 Index violated their respective 50--day moving average lines. The weak technical action in the major indices has raised greater concerns. Coupled with waning leadership (shrinking list of new 52-week highs), the recent slump suggests that market (M criteria) conditions have deteriorated from an "uptrend under pressure" to what may be a longer and more substantial correction. Until a new rally attempt and a solid follow-through day as confirmation, disciplined investors know it is probably best to avoid new buying efforts and take a more defensive stance. Eliminate weakening issues on a case-by-case basis, being sure to protect your hard-earned capital.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average has joined the Nasdaq Composite Index and benchmark S&P 500 Index by also slumping below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Commodity-Linked Groups Posted Gains Amid Broader Declines
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Commodity-linked groups posted solid gains as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.12%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.34%), and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.58%) were standout performers. Meanwhile, the Healthcare Index ($HMO -1.34%) and the tech sector had a widely negative bias on Tuesday as the Networking Index ($NWX -1.57%), Internet Index ($IIX -0.90%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.74%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.74%) ended unanimously lower. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.58%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.22%), and Bank Index ($BKX -0.10%) also failed to provide any encouraging action.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Retail Index's ($RLX -0.58%) losses this week have led to violations of its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and upward trendline, a worrisome sign of more technical deterioration while the market is currently enduring a correction.

Prior Highs and 50-Day Average Define Support to Watch
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Informatica Corp. (INFA -$0.11 or -0.20% to $53.95) was down today for a second consecutive small loss with below average volume. It is extended from its latest sound base pattern. Disciplined investors may watch for secondary buy points to possibly develop and be noted. Since its last appearance in this FSU section with an annotated graph on 4/27/11 under the headline, "New All-Time High After Another Volume-Driven Gain", it endured mild distributional pressure and slumped near prior highs in the $49 area defining support to watch closely coinciding with its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Subsequent violations would raise concerns and could trigger technical sell signals.
Since the 3/24/11 mid-day report highlighted this Redwood City, CA-based Computer Software - Database firm in yellow it has traded as much as +12.9% higher. It reported +33% earnings on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. That followed prior strong results after its Jun, Sep, and Dec '10 earnings increases were all above the +25% minimum guidelines. It has also maintained a steady annual earnings (A criteria) history. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 634 in Mar '10 to 713 in Mar '11, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

G - Gapped down and violated its 50 DMA line yet closed near the session high with very light volume behind its loss today. Concerns were raised after it slumped more than -7% below its pivot point and undercut its prior high close ($39.44 on 4/01/11). Its color code was changed to green after it completely negated its latest breakout.
