Major Averages Edged Lower Again With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages finished with small losses but off of their worst levels on Monday while the volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly negative as decliners led advancers by a 7-5 margin on the Nasdaq exchange and by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs still easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, and new lows remained in the single digits on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 61 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 87 stocks. Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of companies hitting new 52-week highs, so it was encouraging last week to see a great expansion in new leadership. There were gains for 5 of the 13 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
Investors looked to take profits from last week's strong rally. Eight of the 10 sectors on the S&P finished lower, led by declines in utility stocks. Shares of Dominion Resources (D -1.64%) and Southern Company (SO -1.74%) gave up ground. Netflix Inc (NFLX +3.36%) rallied after the company announced a licensing agreement with Warner Brothers. In the healthcare space, Celgene Corp (CELG +4.43%) rallied after the firm raised their 5-year sales forecast.
Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were little changed along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was down 1/32 to yield 1.90% and the 30-year bond was off 1/16 of a point to yield 3.10%.
Investors may consider new buying efforts in stocks meeting all key criteria, as the market's (M criteria) confirmed uptrend showed a great expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) after overcoming recent pressure. Solid gains helped the benchmark S&P 500 Index promptly rebound above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, and Nasdaq Composite Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average both promptly rebounded above their respective 50 DMA and 200 DMA lines at the start of the week. All of the major averages then blasted above their December highs with additional volume-driven gains.
Watch for an announcement via email concerning the next WEBCAST. The webcast will also be available via an updated link highlighted at the top of the Premium Member Homepage.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index finished -3% off its 9/21/12 high with a small loss on the session. The tech-heavy index rallied nearly +4.8% last week.

Mixed Group Action on Indecisive Session
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX +0.27%) posted a small gain but modest weakness in the influential Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.75%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -0.34%) limited the major averages' ability to rally back into the black. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.48%) and Internet Index ($IIX -0.14%) edged slightly lower while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.20%) and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.57%) inched higher. Defensive groups were mixed as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.43%) lost ground while the Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.97%) posted a gain. The Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.76%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.37%) edged lower.

Fundamental and Technical Weakness Raised Concerns
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Watson Pharmaceuticals (WPI +$0.36 or +0.42% to $85.66) halted its slide after damaging distributional losses triggered a technical sell signal last week. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line may now act as resistance. Its Relative Strength rating has slumped to a 76, below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Based on recent deterioration in its fundamental and technical characteristics it will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight. Disciplined investors might sooner choose a buy candidate without fundamental concerns, watching for a chance to accumulate shares whenever a high-ranked leader rallies above its pivot point with above average volume.
WPI was last shown in this FSU section on 12/17/12 with an annotated daily graph under the headline, "Perched Near High With No Overhead Supply". It stalled after a volume-driven gain above its pivot point on 12/21/12 triggered a new (or add-on) technical buy signal by clearing the pivot point cited based on its 12/12/12 high plus 10 cents. Disciplined investors always limit losses by selling if ever any stock falls moire than -7% from the purchase price.
As previously noted, quarterly comparisons for sales revenues and earnings increases have shown sequential deceleration in its growth rate raising some fundamental concerns. It recently reported earnings +24% on +19% sales revenues for the Sep '12 quarter, one notch below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), raising some concerns. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,011 in Mar '12 to 1,120 in Dec '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has maintained a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history.

The "negative reversal" on 1/02/13 raised concerns when last noted - "Subsequent volume-driven gains above its pivot point are still needed to trigger a new technical buy signal."

Slumped further today after a damaging gap down on the prior session, retreating with above average volume after challenging its 52-week high and previously stubborn resistance. Its Relative Strength rank has slumped to a sub par 65 rating, and as previously noted the RS line did not confirm a move into new high territory. Based on weak action it will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight.

Y - Up from earlier lows, finding prompt support after a weak start to today's session. This week's streak of 3 consecutive gains with above average volume still left it below its pivot point. Disciplined investors may use a tactic called "pyramiding" to allow market action to dictate their positioning.

Sputtering below its 50 DMA line and its Relative Strength rating has slumped to a 72, well below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Based on weak action it will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight. Prior lows and its 200 DMA line define important near-term support to watch in the $53 area. However, it faces resistance due to overhead supply up through the $61 level which has been a stubborn resistance level in recent months.
