Major Averages Slump Again With Less Volume Behind Losses
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Thursday was another down session for the major averages as the "correction" continued. The volume totals on the exchanges were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 5-4 margin on the NYSE and by 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 10 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up a notch from the prior session total of 9 stocks. There were gains for only 2 of the 15 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
Thursday’s session saw losses for the major averages for second day following a round of disappointing economic data. Before the open, weekly initial jobless claims rose 4,000 to 352,000, slightly above the consensus estimate of 350,000. Additional reports revealed manufacturing activity in the Philadelphia region slowed in April while the leading indicators index declined -0.1% in March.
A mixed bag of earnings reports weighed on the market. EBay Inc (EBAY -5.9%) fell as quarterly results fell short of consensus expectations. United Health Corp (UNH -3.8%) sank after lowering its full-year sales guidance. Pepsi Co (PEP +3.0%) and Verizon Communication Ins (VZ +2.8%) rose after posting earnings above analyst projections. Technology was the worst performing sector on the session. Google Inc (GOOG -2.1%), International Business Machines Inc (IBM -2.5%) and Microsoft Corp (MSFT -0.1%) traded with a mostly negative bias ahead of their scheduled earnings releases after the close. Apple Inc (APPL -2.7%) fell amid concerns over second-quarter iPad mini shipments and a supplier reporting an inventory glut.
Treasuries advanced with the 10-year note up 1/16 of a point to yield 1.69%.
The market's (M criteria) quick evaporation of leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) and decisive pullback on higher volume is a sign of more worrisome distributional pressure. The damaging action of late has arguably ended the latest rally. Investors should be watchful for technical sell signals and be ready to reduce market exposure until broader strength returns and is noted. The most noteworthy and actionable leaders are listed on the Featured Stocks page.

PICTURED: The S&P Small-Cap 600 Index slumped further below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, sinking toward its February lows.

Commodity-Linked Groups Rallied Against Broader Declines
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Commodity-linked groups rose on Thursday. Energy-related shares had a positive bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.45%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.16%) posted small gains. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.89%) was a standout gainer as it bounced back from recent losses. The Healthcare Index ($HMO -2.26%) was among Thursday's worst laggards. The tech sector saw unanimous losses from the Networking Index ($NWX -1.89%), Internet Index ($IIX -1.72%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.41%), and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.90%). The Retail Index ($RLX -1.19%) fell, and financial indexes also added to the market's negative bias as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.39%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -0.90%) both lost ground.

Fundamental And Recent Technical Action Lackluster
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Middleby Corp (MIDD +$1.51 or +1.06% to $144.53) is still lingering below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, and it recently slumped under prior lows in the $144 area raising greater concerns. Technically, a rebound above its 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. It Relative Strength rating is 86 and it is only -6.6% off its 52-week high. Fundamental concerns were repeatedly noted since its last appearance in this FSU section on 3/25/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Resilient Leader Still Near Highs After Fundamental Flaws Raised Concerns". 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 +9% on +20% sales for the Dec '12 quarter marked its 2nd consecutive quarterly comparison with an earnings increase below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising more concerns. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 351 in Dec '11 to 435 in Mar '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. 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. Based on its recent fundamental and technical weakness it will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight.

Volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line and recent low define important near-term chart support to watch. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 4/5/2013. Click here.
