Indices Ended Mixed With Mixed Volume Totals

Stocks finished mostly lower in the first trading of September. The Dow closed with a loss of 54 points to 13,035 and the S&P 500 Index lost less than 2 points to 1,404, but the Nasdaq Composite Index was higher by 8 points to 3,075. Tuesday's volume totals were mixed, reported lower on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session totals. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by about a 3-2 ratio on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of new 52-week highs led new 52-week lows on the NYSE on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 69 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 25 stocks. There were gains for 18 of the 21 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

Stocks fell early on after a batch of disappointing economic data. The ISM factory index showed manufacturing fell to 49.6 in August, falling at its sharpest rate in more than three years. In a separate report, construction spending dropped by the most in a year, declining -0.9% in July. Despite the data, the major averages trimmed earlier losses as a rally in Apple Inc (AAPL +1.46%) sparked a rebound in technology stocks after the company scheduled an event for next week which may unveil a redesigned iPhone.

Markets were also focused on the ECB's policy meeting on Thursday where it may release the details of a new debt-buying plan. Monthly auto sales also garnered attention after topping expectations, but shares of major automakers were mixed with Ford (F +0.75%) up, but the new General Motors Company (GM -0.19%) and Toyota Motor Corp (TM -1.12%) losing ground.

In fixed-income, Treasuries snapped a two-day advance with the 10-year note down 7/32 to yield 1.57% and the 30-year bond lost 5/32 to yield 2.68%.

The M criteria is still favorable as the major indices have maintained their previously confirmed rally with a healthy level of leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs).

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index finished -1.5% off its 2012 high, and the volume totals have mostly been below average in recent weeks. It is encouraging that distribution days and damage have been avoided while the market consolidates near its 2012 highs. Volume totals historically have tended to pick up from light summer doldrums following Labor Day.

Energy and Semiconductor Groups Lagged

Weakness in energy-related shares led to modest losses for the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.88%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.83%). The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.03%) ended flat and the Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.19%) gave defensively positioned investors little to get excited about.  The  Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.96%) led the tech sector while the Index ($IIX +0.08%) and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.25%) edged higher, but the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.85%) was a clear laggard as it finished with a loss. The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.51%) had a slightly positive bias while the Bank Index ($BKX +0.11%) inched higher and the Retail Index ($RLX -0.14%) inched lower.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.51%) is still trading below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. The weakness in this influential financial group has been an ongoing concern because of the reliable history financial shares have as "leading indicators" for the broader market.

Earnings News Pending While Perched Near New Pivot Point

Often, when a leading stock is setting up to breakout of a solid base it is highlighted in CANSLIM.net's Mid-Day Breakouts Report. The most relevant factors are noted in the report which alerts prudent CANSLIM oriented investors to place the issue in their watch list. After doing any necessary backup research, the investor is prepared to act after the stock triggers a technical buy signal (breaks above its pivot point on more than +50% average turnover) but before it gets too extended from a sound base. In the event the stock fails to trigger a technical buy signal and its price declines then it will simply be removed from the watch list. Disciplined investors know to buy as near as possible to the pivot point and avoid chasing stocks after they have rallied more than +5% above their pivot point. It is crucial to always limit losses whenever any stock heads the wrong direction, and disciplined investors sell if a struggling stock ever falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

Ulta Salon Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. (ULTA +$0.18 or +0.19% to $94.18) was highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here) while building on the current 11-week base during which it found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. The new pivot point cited is based on its 6/20/12 high plus 10 cents. Little resistance remains due to overhead supply while consolidating -4.3% off its 52-week high, however volume-driven gains above its pivot point are needed to trigger a technical buy signal. Disciplined investors know that there is no advantage to getting in "early". Waiting for proof of fresh institutional buying demand is crucial to investors' success with the fact-based investment system. Keep in mind that it is due to report earnings on Thursday, September 6th after the market closes, and volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

The high-ranked Retail - Specialty firm completed a Secondary Offering on 5/10/12. Its last appearance in the FSU section on 4/23/12 included an annotated weekly graph under the headline, "New Late Stage Base Formed; Deteriorating Market Conditions". The choppy consolidation that followed included a brief rally to new highs and then a slump to its 200 DMA line before rebounding. It reported earnings +46% on +23% sales revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2012 versus the year ago period.  Its strong quarterly earnings increases above the +25% guideline in the 8 latest comparisons satisfies the C criteria, and its solid annual earnings (A criteria) history is also very reassuring. The number of top-rated funds with an ownership interest has grown from 376 funds in Dec '10 to 561 funds as of Jun '12, which is a very encouraging sign of increasing institutional interest (the I criteria).

Y - Highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report while building on the current 11-week base during which it found support at its 200 DMA line. New pivot point cited is based on its 6/20/12 high plus 10 cents. Little resistance remains due to overhead supply while consolidating -4.3% off its 52-week high, however volume-driven gains above its pivot point are needed to trigger a technical buy signal. Reported earnings +46% on +23% sales revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2012 versus the year ago period. Completed a Secondary Offering on 5/10/12. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
