Breadth Improves While Volume Totals Remain Below Average

The major averages traded in a narrow range and hovered in and out of the black before closing higher as investors digested tepid economic data from the US and Japan. Volume totals on were reported lower on the NYSE and slightly higher on the Nasdaq exchanges versus the prior session, which was a sign that institutional investors were not buying shares aggressively. Advancers led decliners by about a 3-to-2 ratio on the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange as the major averages closed relatively flat for the day. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but trailed new lows by a large margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 11 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up slightly from the 6 issues that appeared on the prior session.

 

Overnight, Japan said its economy slowed sharply last quarter with GDP missing forecasts. Japan's economy grew by +0.4% on an annualized basis which was less than the Street's estimate. This put pressure on overseas markets and US futures. The global recovery theme encountered more trouble after a weaker-than-expected report from New York manufacturing was released. Since last week's Fed meeting, approximately $1.9 trillion has been wiped from the value of global equities. The benchmark S&P 500 fell over -4% since August 9 which put the latest rally under pressure. It is important to note that since earnings season began in early July, the major averages have enjoyed decent gains on the premise that Q2 earnings topped estimates.

So far, Q2 earnings have topped the average estimate at more than +75% of the 438 companies in the S&P 500 which reported their results. The data shows that earnings grew by +51% while sales rose by +9.3%. Looking forward, investors are now concerned whether or not the healthy results will continue during the later half of the year. Elsewhere, the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo confidence index slid to 13 this month which is the lowest reading since March 2009 and down from July's reading of 14. It was also lower than the Street's estimate for 15 and sharply lower than 50 which means respondents still view conditions as poor.

The technical action in the major averages has deteriorated significantly.  Not all of the major averages managed to rally above their recent chart highs, and all have now sliced back below their respective 200-day moving average (DMA) lines. It is also worrisome to see the number of distribution days pile up in recent weeks which puts pressure on the current five-week rally.  Whenever a market rally becomes under pressure (as it is now), it is usually wise to err on the side of caution and adopt a strong defensive stance until the bulls regain control. Trade accordingly.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index posted a gain on lighter than average volume on Monday after damaging distributional action in the past week.




Gold & Silver Index Rebounding From July Lows

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index benefited from the tech sector's strength as the Networking Index ($NWX +0.39%), Internet Index ($IIX +0.42%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.47%), and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.72%) ended unanimously higher with modest gains. The Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.57%) and Retail Index ($RLX +0.12%) also posted small gains.  Meanwhile, mild losses in the financial groups dragged on the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.50%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.11%). The Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.23%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.10%) also edged lower.

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.50%) rallied above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with a solid gain on Monday.  It has recovered above its 50 and 200 DMA lines from trading near July lows when last shown in this IGW section on 7/27/10 (read here).

Consolidating Above Short-Term Average

Salesforce.com, Inc. (CRM -$0.61 or -0.63% to $96.63) endured distributional pressure last week and slumped under prior highs near $97 while nearly testing support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. A patent infringement suit brought by Microsoft Corp. has been settled since its last appearance in this FSU section on 7/15/10 when we observed - "Those with open positions might choose to give it the benefit of the doubt until a more worrisome technical sell signal might raise greater concerns." Healthy stocks typically find support near their short-term 50-day average as institutional investors add to existing holdings, so any subsequent 50 DMA violation would raise greater concerns and might prompt more investors to lock in hard fought gains.

Concerns were raised by its weaker earnings, now making it a fundamentally questionable candidate for additional buying efforts. For the quarter ended April 30, 2010 it showed only a +7% earnings per share increase, a difficult comparison marking its first increase below the +25% minimum guideline in years. New (or add-on) buying efforts might not be appropriate because of that fundamental flaw for this high-ranked Computer Software - Enterprise firm.  The increase in institutional (I criteria) ownership has been encouraging in the past, and the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 283 in Sep '09 to 336 in Jun '10. CRM traded up +121.65% since featured in a Stock Bulletin on 8/16/09 under the headline "Forces Have Been Favorable For Software Services Firm."
