Indices End in Negative Territory for the Week

Friday's losses pushed the major averages further into negative territory for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished with a weekly loss of -1.2%, the S&P 500 Index declined -1% and the Nasdaq Composite Index fell -1.3%. Friday's trading session volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, which was a slightly reassuring sign that institutional investors were not increasing their selling efforts.  Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange and by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE. There were 33 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up little from the prior session total of 31 stocks. The number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 6 of the 11 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

A batch of mixed economic data weighed on the major averages. The International Monetary Fund lowered its 2014 U.S. growth forecast and urged the Fed to carefully manage its stimulus exit strategy to avoid market disruption. Investors also digested mixed economic data. Industrial production was surprisingly unchanged in May and the University of Michigan consumer confidence survey unexpectedly fell from a six-year high this month. A separate report showed the producer-price index advanced in May for the first time in three months.

Nine of the 10 sectors on the S&P were lower, led by declines in financial stocks including JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM -1.92%) and Citigroup Inc (C -2.13%).  Also in the space, American Express Co (AXP -2.98%) fell after the shares received an analyst downgrade. Materials and Energy stocks were also under pressure with DuPont down (DD -2.23%) and Occidental Petroleum Corp (OXY -1.24%). The more defensive Utilities group held onto minor gains, led by NextEra Energy Inc (NEE +0.9%) advance to $79.81. On the earnings front, Restoration Hardware Holdings Inc (RH +16.13%) rallied after the company posted a better-than-expected quarterly profit tally. In other news, Smith & Wesson Holding Co (SWHC +5.16%) rallied as the company announced preliminary net sales and earnings per share that were ahead of estimates.

In fixed-income, Treasuries were up for a second day. The 10-year note gained 5/32 to yield 2.13% and the 30-year bond rose 6/32 to yield 3.31%.

The damage worsened on Wednesday after market (M criteria) weakness was labeled a "correction" Tuesday evening by writers at the newspaper.  There is no denying that the weak and damaging action in the broader market serves as a clear reminder for investors  - be protective of any gains, and limit losses!  Be especially watchful for any individual issues flashing technical sell signals.  It is vitally important to your success with the fact-based investment system to reduce exposure and preserve cash during market downdrafts.

As always, watch upcoming CANSLIM.net reports for new action-worthy leaders best matching the winning models to be covered as they emerge and then included on the Featured Stocks Page - with our Certified experts' latest notes and links to additional resources including detailed analysis with annotated graphs.  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 is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and recent lows defining near-term support. Any more damaging losses would raise serious concerns, however, the market being noted above as in a "correction" already has alerted members in recent days to play smart defense, rather than making a priority of any new buying efforts.

Financial, Defensive, Tech, and Energy-Related Groups Fell

Weakness in financial shares was a negative influence on the major averages as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.75%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -1.60%) fell on Friday.  The Retail Index ($RLX -0.28%) showed resilience as it suffered a smaller loss. Defensive groups faced pressure as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.62%) and the Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.96%) both lost ground. The Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.64%) and Networking Index ($NWX -0.84%) led the tech sector lower while the Internet Index ($IIX -0.67%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.40%) finished the session with smaller losses.  Weakness in energy-related shares also dragged the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.10%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.73%) lower on Friday's mostly negative session.

Eight Consecutive Weekly Gains for Strong Leader

Ambarella Corporation (AMBA +$0.43 or +2.52% to $17.47) has tallied 8 consecutive weekly gains and it is extended from its prior base. It recently reported strong earnings and revenues increases for the April '13 quarter, continuing its streak of strong quarterly earnings comparisons versus the year ago periods - satisfying the C criteria with increases above the +25% minimum guideline. Recent lows and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($14.69 now) define important chart support to watch on pullbacks. 

AMBA's last appearance in this FSU section was on 5/29/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Found Support Above 50-Day Moving Average After Whipsaw Action Negated Recent Breakout". Members were reminded - "A stock sold based on triggering the fact-based investment system's strict sell rules can be bought back at a later time if impressive strength returns. In fact, in the Certification it is taught that experts should buy a slightly larger dollar amount (+10% more) in the same stock if it later flashes especially bullish action. This tactic reinforces their commitment and confidence in the fact-based investment system.  As always, there is a chance the stock might turn negative again, in which case the -7% sell rule may apply yet again. However, it is crucial to investors' long-term success to do a good job of limiting losses while they are small. The best approach is to never hang on for a weak stock to possibly become a -20%, -30%, -40%, or more devastating loss. In a bullish market environment, patient and disciplined investors investors can find their fair share of great winners by following the rules."

It stayed above its 50 DMA line and was noted on 6/4/2013 as it tallied a solid gain with above average volume against a mostly negative market backdrop. Then it gapped up on 6/05/13 after reporting strong earnings and revenues increases for the April '13 quarter versus the year ago period. The high-ranked Electronics - Semiconductor firm saw the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 51 in Dec '12 to 66 in Mar '13, a reassuring indication concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is also an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 13.8 million shares in the public float can contribute to great price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Y- Hovering near its all-time high with volume totals recently cooling. Rose from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base with its 5/29/13 gain on +56% above average volume. It may go on to produce more climactic gains, however this was a riskier "late-stage" base.

Y - Churned above average volume near its 50 DMA line without making meaningful price progress this past 2 weeks. Up/Down Volume Ratio is currently 0.7 which is an unbiased indication it has been encountering distributional pressure over the past 50 days. The recent low ($21.49 on 5/23/13) defines important near-term chart support where a violation would raise more serious concerns.
