Major Averages Edged Lower on Lighter Volume

The major averages edged lower on Monday's quiet session. The volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating no great conviction from the institutional crowd. Breadth was slightly negative as decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and an even closer margin on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 60 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 103 stocks. There were gains for 4 of the 13 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

The major averages traded lower throughout the session as investors took a breather from a six-week long rally. Six of the 10 sectors on the S&P finished with losses. Energy and material stocks paced decliners with Schlumberger Ltd (SLB -1.44%) and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc (FCX -0.87%) falling. On the earnings front, Lowes Corp (L -0.78%) edged lower after the insurer posted their fourth-quarter profit tally. In other news, Apple Inc (AAPL +1.04%) gained on rumors that the company was testing a new watch-like device. Also in tech, Google Inc (GOOG -0.38%) fell on news its executive chairman is selling about 42% of his stake in the company.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries ended relatively unchanged along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was flat to yield 1.96% and the 30-year bond added 1/32 to yield 3.17%.

The latest rally has produced a few action worthy candidates meeting all of the fact-based investment system's criteria. Selectivity and discipline are required, as always. Investors may consider new buying efforts in stocks meeting all key criteria, as the market's (M criteria) confirmed uptrend has been comprised by great leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) in the broader market. Widespread gains helped all of the major averages blast higher, and the benchmark S&P 500 Index is perched at its best level in more than five years and off its October 2007 all-time high.

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 S&P Small Cap 600 Index is perched near its all-time high and is up +7.4% year-to-date after steadily rallying from its November 2012 lows.

Financial Groups Rose While Defensive Groups Lagged

Defensive groups including the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.04%) and the Healthcare Index ($HMO -1.57%) were clearly laggards on Monday. Weakness in energy-related shares pushed the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.17%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.53%) lower. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.10%) held its ground while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.42%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.71%), and Internet Index ($IIX -0.63%) each ended with a small loss. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.56%) also created a drag on the major averages while a positive bias in the financial group helped the Bank Index ($BKX +0.24%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.37%) post modest gains.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX -0.42%) is consolidating near its 52-week high, well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and recent low defining near-term support.

Forming Base While Enduring Distributional Pressure Above 50-Day Moving Average

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.

Soufun Hldgs Ltd Ads (SFUN +$0.88 or +3.37% to $27.02) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 1/08/13 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Disciplined investors may watch for subsequent volume-driven gains to confirm a proper technical buy signal. It finished -7.3% off its 52-week high today. It has endured distributional pressure in recent weeks as the annotated graph below shows, yet it has been finding support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and still building on an orderly base pattern. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication institutional accumulation (I criteria) has been taking place over the past 50 days. Reported earnings +61% on +30% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter, marking 4 consecutive quarters with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). This high-ranked Chinese Real Estate Internet portal firm's IPO was on 9/17/10 and its shares split 4:1 on 2/18/11.

Subsequent losses leading to a damaging violation and a slump below the recent low ($15.74 on 1/18/13) would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals.

G - Quickly getting very extended, its color code is changed to green while tallying another considerable volume driven gain. It was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 1/28/13 high plus 10 cents in the 2/08/13 mid-day report. Reported earnings +192% on +81% sales revenues for then Dec '12 quarter and it gapped up today. Its considerable "breakaway gap" into new all-time high territory cleared a 4-month cup-with-handle base. A breakaway gap has been noted as the one exception which allows for new buying efforts more than +5% above prior highs, however risk increases the further one chases any stock above prior highs. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

A "negative reversal" for a loss on heavy volume after hitting a new 52-week high on 1/25/13 was noted as a worrisome sign of distributional pressure as it failed to finish strong and did not clinch a technical buy signal.
