Major Averages Tally Losses on Lighter Volume
Adam Sarhan, Contributing Writer,
The major averages negatively reversed and ended lower on Monday as concern spread that some European governments will struggle to fund ballooning budget deficits. Volume was lower than the prior session on the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by nearly a 2-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. There were only 5 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, higher than the 3 issues that appeared on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but trailed by a small margin on the Nasdaq exchange.
Stocks opened higher on Monday but turned lower after concern spread that several European countries may default on their debt. Greece, Spain and Portugal are the three primary suspects for the latest sovereign debt crisis. The primary concern is that these countries will need outside assistance to stay afloat as they make their way through the worst recession since WWII. Meanwhile, the Congressional Budget Office expects America’s debt to reach +65% of US GDP this year which would still be below the +77% of GDP the European Commission expects for Germany, U.K. is running closer to +80% and Japan is in the lead with a whopping +180%.
Looking at the market, Monday marked Day 2 of a new rally attempt which means that as long as last Friday's lows are not breached this rally attempt remains intact. The earliest a possible follow-through day (FTD) will emerge will be this Wednesday. However, if Friday's lows are breached then the day count will be reset and a steeper correction may unfold. It is also important to see how the major averages react to their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines which were support and are now acting as resistance. Until they all close above that important level the technical damage remaining on the charts is a concern. So far, the market's reaction has been tepid at best to the latest round of economic and earnings data. Remember that the recent series of distribution days coupled with the deleterious action in the major averages suggests large institutions are aggressively selling stocks. Disciplined investors will now wait for a new follow-through day to be produced before resuming any buying efforts. Until then, patience is paramount.

Latest Breakout Promptly Failed, Yet 50 DMA Acted As Support
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Pegasystems Inc. (PEGA -0.19 or -0.55% to $34.56) was down today on lighter volume as it fell for a 4th consecutive loss. Wider than usual intra-day price swings in the past 2 weeks were noted as signs of uncertainty. Since its prior appearance in this FSU section on 1/25/10 under the headline "No Buy Signal Since Recently Featured in CANSLIM.net News" it broke out with great volume conviction on 1/27/10 and triggered a technical buy signal, however 2 big losses on heavy volume promptly negated that breakout. Its 50-day moving average line and recent chart lows near $32.50 help define important technical support, where violations would trigger more worrisome sell signals. Negative market conditions (M criteria) are currently an overriding concern prompting great caution, since a follow-through day is still needed to confirm a new rally.
PEGA was featured in the January 2010 issue of CANSLIM.net News (read here). This high-ranked Computer Software - Financial firm develops, markets, licenses, and supports software to automate various business processes primarily the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. It has attracted an increasing number of institutional investors, as the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 43 in Sep '08 to 84 in Dec '09, which is a solid reassurance concerning the investment system's I criteria. PEGA has shown good sales revenues increases and its earnings increases were well above the +25% guideline in the 4 last quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period. The previously noted downturn in annual earnings (the A criteria) from 2003 to 2006 has been followed by a solid turn around and big earnings increases in '07, '08 and '09.
Caution and patience are suggested until the stock manages to build a new base and the broader market (M criteria) proves itself. Meanwhile, 3 out of 4 stocks are likely to struggle since the market is currently in a correction. Odds are not in favor of new buys working out until a new rally is confirmed with a follow-through-day of gains from at least one of the 3 major market averages.
