Breadth Poor As Indices Fall On Lighter Volume

The major averages negatively reversed on Monday (opened higher but closed lower) as the euro slid to a fresh 4-year low. Volume, an important indicator of institutional sponsorship,  was lower than Friday's levels. Decliners trumped advancers by almost a 3-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by nearly a 5-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange. 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, lower than the 6 issues that appeared on the prior session.  New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.

Overnight the euro slid to $1.188, a fresh 4-year low, sparking more concerns that the EU contagion woes will worsen. A host of Asian markets also fell on the first trading day since the US jobs report was released on Friday. This set a negative tone for Monday's session. After a slightly positive open, the bears quickly showed up and sent stocks lower after a slew of market leaders traded in the red. Apple Inc. (AAPL -1.96%) fell even as Steve Jobs released the new iPhone. The new phone sports a clearer screen and the ability for video chat, among other upgrades. Elsewhere, Goldman Sachs (GS -2.51%) got smacked after it received a subpoena from the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIS) due to its failure to comply with requests for documents.

From our vantage point, the latest three day rally failed, evidenced by a new 2010 low close for the Dow Jones Industrial Average & benchmark S&P 500 Index. The author of "How To Make Money In Stocks", the book that explains the fact-based investment system, has observed in the past that a market should not be considered to be in "healthy" shape unless at least 2 of the 3 major averages are trading above their rising 200-day moving average (DMA) lines. This played a pivotal role in our view in recent weeks. As of Monday's close, The Nasdaq Composite, Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and small-cap Russell 2000 Index unanimously closed below their respective 200 DMA lines. Therefore, the bears will likely remain in control until these popular averages close above those important levels.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index's loss on Monday led to its lowest close since February 10, 2010.  The annotated chart points out the 5/25/10 session which marked the paper's questionable "Day 1" of a new rally effort.




Tech and Financial Shares Get Smacked Again

The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.89%) was a lone standout in the plus column while most groups ended lower on Monday.  The tech sector slumped as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -3.63%), Networking Index ($NWX -2.54%), Internet Index ($IIX -1.93%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.46%) ended unanimously lower.  The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -2.97%), Bank Index ($BKX -2.31%) and the Retail Index ($RLX -1.71%) also influenced the major indices with their negative bias. The Healthcare Index ($HMO -1.06%)  and energy-related shares also faced pressure as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.54%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.41%) started the week with losses.

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -2.97%) suffered another considerable loss, leading to its lowest close since July 2009.

Recent Chart Lows Define Next Support Level

Ulta Salon Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. (ULTA -$0.93 or -4.02% to $22.23) sank below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line today, falling again with more above average volume behind the damage. For now it remains an ideal candidate for investors' watch lists, but the distributional pressure raises concerns while quickly pressuring it near prior chart lows.  In the past it proved resilient and promptly rebounded above its short-term average.  Meanwhile, the recent chart low ($20.71) defines the next important support level to watch, where any violations would raise more serious concerns and trigger additional technical sell signals. ULTA made very little headway since the detailed Stock Bulletin with annotated graph was published soon after it was featured in the 3/12/10 mid-day report (read here) as a considerable gain with heavy volume helped it reach a new 52-week high. It was noted as it rose from an 8-week cup shaped base following stronger results for the quarter ended January 31, 2010.

This high-ranked leader in the Retail - Misc group which has shown accelerating sales revenues increases.  Strong quarterly earnings increases above the +25% guideline in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons satisfies the C criteria. The number of top-rated funds with an ownership interest has grown from 49 funds in March '09 to 78 funds as of Mar '10 which is an encouraging sign of increasing institutional interest (the I criteria). Management's 51% ownership stake keeps the company's directors very motivated to look after and build shareholder value.

Y - Finished in the lower half of its intra-day range, yet its gain and close above its pivot point with above average volume triggered a technical buy signal. Featured in the mid-day report (read here) as it spiked up to a new all-time high today with its 4th consecutive gain, rallying straight up from the bottom of a "double bottom" type base. This high-ranked leader has shown strong quarterly sales revenues and earnings growth and it has a great annual earnings (A criteria) history. Based on poor technical action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list back on 10/08/08.
