Volume Increase Behind Losses a Sign of Institutional Pressure
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages ended near their worst levels of the session with big losses on Wednesday. The volume totals were reported higher than the prior trading session's volume totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a sign that the institutional crowd was increasing their selling efforts. Breadth was negative as decliners trailed advancers by more than a 3-1 ratio on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 8 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up a notch from the total of 7 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week lows outnumbered new highs on the NYSE while new highs still outnumbered new lows on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for only 3 of the 14 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that has recently been waning. The Market (M criteria) has encountered distributional pressure and leadership (stocks hitting new highs) has waned, earning the label of being in another "correction". Such weakness serves as a reminder for investors to use caution and remain disciplined in following proper sell rules under the fact-based investment system to reduce market exposure.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 189 points to 15,738, the S&P 500 gave up 18 points to 1,774 and the NASDAQ shed 46 points with the index closing at 4,051.

Stocks extended their losses into the closing bell following the Fed’s decision to reduce its level of asset purchases by an additional $10 billion to $65 billion per month. A batch of disappointing corporate earnings reports also weighed on equities.

Shares of AT&T Inc (T -1.1%) as the telecom giant reported weaker-than-expected wireless subscription growth. Yahoo! Inc (YHOO -8.7%) also declined in the session after posting their quarterly results. On the upside, Dow Chemical (DOW +3.8%) and Electronic Arts (EA +1.4%) rose following their earnings reports.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries ended higher along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note gained 23/32 to yield 2.69% and the 30-year bond added more than 1 and 1/4 points to yield 3.63%.

Investors should be watchful for any individual issues flashing technical sell signals.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index has violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with volume-driven losses, joining the Dow Industrials and the S&P 500 index which both already slumped below their respectiuve short-term moving averages. The damaging losses are viewed as a worrisome sign that the market conditions are eroding, further reminding investors to stand ready to reduce their market exposure.

Financial and Retail Indexes Led Decliners
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Losses for the influential Retail Index ($RLX -1.98%) weighed on the major averages and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.36%) and Bank Index ($BKX -1.30%) also created a drag on Wednesday. The Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.11%) lost ground while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.35%) showed a smaller loss. The tech sector had a slightly negative bias as the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.55%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.45%) outpaced the Networking Index ($NWX -0.17%) to the downside. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.19%) was a standout gainer.

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.36%) violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line during the broader market's retreat. The Financial groups are reliable "leading indicators" for the broader market outlook so in the near-term it would be encouraging to see the XBD rebound above the 50 DMA line rather than continue deteriorating.

Violation of 50-Day Average After Failing to Trigger New Buy Signal
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Priceline.com Inc (PCLN -$28.74 or -2.47% to $1,133.79) slumped further below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line today after volume-driven losses raised recent concerns. Its color code was changed to green and PCLN did not trigger a technical buy signal since recently featured in yellow. A subsequent violation of the prior low ($1,113.01 on 1/06/14) would raise greater concerns and may trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal. Disciplined investors watch for a proper technical buy signal before taking action and always limit losses if any stock falls more than -7% from their buy point.

PCLN reported earnings +40% on +33% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter versus the year-ago period, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) and improving after a slightly sub par Jun '13 report. The Leisure - Travel Booking firm has earned great ranks, including the highest possible rating of 99 for earnings Per Share (EPS). 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 1,594 in Mar '13 to 1,815 in Dec '13, and increasing interest is an encouraging sign concerning the I criteria.

Color Codes Explained :
Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.
G - Previously featured in past reports as yellow but may no longer be buyable under the guidelines.
