Ugly Negative Reversal for Major Indices
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 Index suffered its worst decline since November 7 on Monday in a sharp reversal from initial gains. While all of the major averages erased early gains and ended with losses, the volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange which indicated an increase in institutional selling termed "distribution". Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by nearly 4-1 on the NYSE and by more than 4-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 43 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session's total of 22 stocks. All 11 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page lost ground.

Elections in Italy stoked concerns that a divided parliament could disrupt the country's fiscal reforms and the euro zone's stability and the major averages retreated. The market had advanced earlier on speculation Japan's prime minister will nominate a supporter of stimulus measures to head the country's central bank. Attention was also on Washington as lawmakers were returning from recess to discuss the $85 billion in automatic spending cuts due to take effect on March 1. Tuesday, Fed Chairman Bernanke begins two days of congressional testimony which may include questions on the central bank's bond buying program.

Utilities and tech were the best performing sectors on the session, but after trading higher for most of the day shares of Exelon (EXC -0.46%) and Qualcomm Inc (QCOM -0.22%) ended lower while there was a broad-based reversal from early gains. Materials were the worst performing group with Peabody Energy (BTU -4.98%) tumbling. Shares of The Lowe's Companies Inc (LOW -4.89%) also retreated after the retailer reported better-than-expected quarterly results.

The market's (M criteria) uptrend recently encountered distributional pressure. Leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) has waned and several high-ranked leaders have recently triggered technical sell signals. Members are reminded to watch individual holdings closely while remaining ready to reduce exposure. Only consider new buying efforts when all key criteria are solidly satisfied.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average surrendered early gains after initially surging to new 2013 highs, ending the session with a large loss while the volume totals increased on the exchanges.

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.96%), Networking Index ($NWX -1.87%), Internet Index ($IIX -1.74%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.21%) ended with unanimous losses.

Negative Reversals Emphasize Distributional Action
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Middleby Corp (MIDD -$4.31 or -2.90% to $144.13) reversed early gains today and finished near the session low with a damaging loss on above average volume. An additional "negative reversal" was noted in recent weeks. Fundamental concerns were also noted as prior reports cautioned members. Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 1/30/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Retreating From All-Time Highs After Getting Extended", and it rallied further into new high territory Prior reports noted - "Disciplined investors may watch closely for sell signals if holding it and giving it a chance to produce more climactic gains."

Earnings +23% on +18% sales for the Sep '12 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raised concerns. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 351 in Dec '11 to 406 in Dec '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.8 is still an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days, despite the worrisome negative reversals noted. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 17.1 million shares in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

MIDD has traded up as much as +28.8% since first highlighted in yellow in the 8/09/12 mid-day report as it gapped up and broke out from a long flat base with a considerable gain 9 times average volume. Investors who are disciplined, selective, and patient would likely watch for a fresh breakout in another high-ranked stock without any fundamental flaws, rather than looking for excuses to buy one that has flaws and one that is also extended from a sound base and enduring distributional pressure.
