Monday's volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers more than a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 9-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. 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 abruptly from a total of 62 stocks last Tuesday as leadership evaporated quickly. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. There were gains for only 5 of the 17 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The market (M criteria) clearly signaled that the major averages are in a "correction" based on Thursday's technical damage.  Individual holdings should be closely monitored for any worrisome technical sell signals. This is precisely how the fact-based system helps investors avoid serious setbacks and raise cash levels during market downdrafts. Historic studies suggest that no new buying efforts should be made during market corrections.

Monday's session was choppy as the indices toggled between gains and losses. Fears that the Fed may begin to taper their easing measures have investors are wary of making moves ahead of Wednesday's FOMC minutes release. The Dow and S&P 500 index are now both trading below their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines.

Eight of the 10 sectors on the S&P ended lower, led by a decline in energy stocks. Shares of Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM -1.13%). Also in the space, Apache Corp (APA -4.58%) after the stock received an analyst downgrade due to its exposure in Egypt.  Shares of Bank of America Corp (BAC -1.87%). On the earnings front, Saks Inc (SKS -0.31%) after the retailer posted a wider-than-expected quarterly loss. Shares of Urban Outfitters (URBN +0.45%) ahead of their scheduled earnings after the close. On the M&A front, industrial tech firm Edwards Group Ltd (EVAC +18.34%) rose on news that the company was being acquired by Sweden's Atlas Copco for $10.50 per share.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were lower along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was down 15/32 to yield 2.88% and the 30-year bond was nearly a full point to yield 3.90%.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is consolidating above prior highs and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Commodity-linked groups ended lower on Monday as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.75%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.63%), and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.25%) lost ground.  Weakness in the influential financial groups also weighed on the major averages as the Bank Index ($BKX -1.34%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.90%) fell.  The Networking Index ($NWX -1.12%) led the tech sector lower while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.69%), Internet Index ($IIX -0.61%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.51%) finished with modest losses.  The Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.17%) and the Retail Index ($RLX -0.09%) edged lower, rounding out a widely negative session.

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.90%) is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.  It found prompt support on prior pullbacks near that important short-term average throughout its ongoing advance this year.

Priceline.com Inc. (PCLN -$6.94 or -0.74% to  $933.13) is consolidating -6.2% off its 52-week high, trading above prior highs in the $926 area that define initial support to watch on pullbacks. Not long ago it reported earnings +24% on +27% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter, just under the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns. Broader market conditions (M criteria) also have recently deteriorated, as noted in the market commentary since last Thursday,hurting the outlook for all stocks.

PCLN was last shown in the FSU section on 7/25/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Still Consolidating Well Above Prior Highs".   The Leisure - Travel Booking firm has earned stellar ranks, despite the latest quarter's slightly sub par results. Its strong annual earnings history satisfies the A criteria. 

Keep in mind, the investment system's biggest winning models were typically held by at least a few mutual funds and attracting many others. However, once a stock is very heavily owned by a long list of mutual funds, as is now the case with PCLN, investors should be especially cautious and alert for any technical sell signals or fundamental disappointments which could prompt a rush for the exits. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,528 in Sep '12 to 1,684 in Jun '13, and increasing interest is an encouraging sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
