Major Averages Fell With Heavier Volume

Stocks experienced a setback on Tuesday. Volume on the session was higher than the prior session's volume totals on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange which indicated an increase in distributional selling pressure from the institutional crowd. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 4-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership was thin as there were only 6 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session's total of 39 stocks. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for only 2 of the 15 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The market (M criteria) uptrend clearly came under pressure while leadership quickly evaporated.  Any new buying efforts should be selective and focused in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

 

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is consolidating after rallying to all-time highs. Nine of the 10 S&P 500 sectors declined.

The major averages finished firmly in negative territory amid profit taking following the recent advance that pushed the Dow and S&P 500 to record levels. Investors were also cautious before Alcoa (AA +0.75%) unofficially kicked off second-quarter earnings season after the close. On the economic front, a report showed consumer borrowing jumped in May and a separate release revealed job openings unexpectedly increased to nearly a seven-year high.
The Nasdaq Composite Index retreated 60 points to 4,391, its biggest one-day loss since May. Technology weighed on the market amid a drop in internet stocks including Twitter (TWTR -7.01%) and Pandora (P -7.33%). Utilities were the lone sector to finish in positive territory as Duke Energy (DUK +1.03%) and Edison International (EIX +1.49%).
Treasuries rose and a government auction of three-year notes were sold at the highest yield since 2011. The 10-year note increased 13/32 to yield 2.56%. The 30-year bond gained a full point to yield 3.38%.

Financial, Retail and Tech Indices Declined

Financial shares were a negative influence on the major averages as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -2.11%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -1.14%) both fell on Tuesday. The Retail Index ($RLX -1.28%) faced pressure and the tech sector saw unanimous losses from the Networking Index ($NWX -2.18%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.94%), and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.54%).  Energy-related shares suffered smaller losses as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.31%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.27%) edged lower. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.17%) was a standout gainer on the mostly negative session.

PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX -2.18%) violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with a considerable loss.

Bullish Up/Down Volume and Increasing Institutional Ownership

Trinity Industries Inc (TRN -$0.27 or -0.61% to $43.96) is perched near its 52-week high, extended from its prior base. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($41.27) defines important near-term support to watch above its recent lows. Subsequent deterioration below those levels would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals. The high-ranked Transportation - Equipment Manufacturing firm was last shown in this FSU section on 6/16/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Recent Lows and 50-Day Moving Average Line Define Near-Term Support".

TRN traded up as much as +20.9% since first highlighted in yellow in the 4/30/14 mid-day report report (read here). Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks extended more than +5% above prior highs and they always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price. 

It has earned high ranks and reported earnings +213% on +57% sales revenues for the Mar '14 quarter. Prior quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) have improved following a downturn in FY '08-10. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 455 in Sep '13 to 471 in Jun '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its supply of shares outstanding (S criteria) was doubled as a 2:1 split was effective as of 6/20/14.
