Stocks Continue Falling After Worrisome Technical Damage

Stock markets around the world plunged this week as concern spread that Greece's debt woes will spread to other countries. Volume totals were reported lower on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange compared to Thursday's very high levels. Decliners trumped advancers by more than a 2-to-1 ratio on the NYSE, and by more than a 3-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. For the first time in many months there were 0 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, lower than the 6 issues that appeared on the prior session. Waning leadership has been evidenced by the recent lack of stocks making new highs as the rally came under pressure.

On Monday, stocks rallied after news spread that the EU and the IMF will bailout Greece. The news sent the EU plunging as fear spread that other EU nations will also need assistance. In the US, billionaire investor, Warren Buffett defended Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS +0.47%) at his annual shareholders meeting in Omaha. Last year, Buffett invested $5 billion in the investment bank and said the bank should not be blamed for losses on lousy mortgage bets. The major averages fell into a correction on Tuesday after the NYSE composite sliced below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and the euro plunged to a fresh 14-month low. On Wednesday, stocks edged lower sending the benchmark S&P 500 and tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index both below their respective 50 DMA lines on heavy turnover.

On Thursday, the European Central Bank (ECB) held interest rates steady at a record low of 1% as the Greek parliament approved austerity measures demanded by the EU and IMF. Shortly after the Greek parliament approved the measures, around 2:15PM EST, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged nearly 1,000 points before rebounding to close down -347 points on the day. The aggressive sell off briefly sent all of the major averages below their respective 200 DMA lines before a late day rebound. That was the Dow's largest single day point decline in history which reiterates the importance of raising capital when the market (M criteria) enters a correction. Even after the rebound from the intra-day lows, the Dow plunged on heavy volume as fear spread that the EU may collapse if other European countries fall behind on their debt payments. The euro tanked to a fresh 14-month low as gold topped $1,200 per ounce which suggests investors are moving away from so-called risky assets and into higher quality names. Stocks were trading all over the place on Friday after the government said US employers added 290,000 jobs last month as the unemployment rate rose to +9.9%.

Taking the appropriate action on a case-by-case basis with your stocks prompts investors to raise cash when any holdings start getting into the trouble zone. A reminder was added to many Featured Stocks' notes this week -Broader market action (M criteria) is normally expected to impact 3 out of 4 stocks. Trade accordingly.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index came under heavy distributional pressure leading to a 50 DMA violation and slump below its January highs, quickly slumping toward its 200 DMA line.




Widespread Weakness Weighs On All Groups

Defensive groups were included among widespread losses on Friday as the Healthcare Index ($HMO -3.06%), Oil Services Index ($OSX -3.63%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.65%), and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.55%) fell. The tech sector was weak as the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -3.05%), Internet Index ($IIX -2.97%), Networking Index ($NWX -2.66%), and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.64%) ended unanimously lower.  The influential Retail Index ($RLX -1.72%) and financial groups also were on the decline as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.62%) and Bank Index ($BKX -1.52%) rounded out a clearly negative session and dismal week of trading.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -1.52%) violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with losses this week.

Leadership In Group Waning Under Threat Of Regulatory Changes

Bridgepoint Education (BPI -$1.03 or -4.32% to $22.84) suffered another loss today with above average volume and closed below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.  Leadership in the Commercial Services - Schools group has waned as many for-profit schools have encountered distributional pressure in the wake of recently proposed regulatory changes. Broader market action (M criteria) is normally expected to impact 3 out of 4 stocks, and widespread losses effectively ended the latest rally. BPI was featured in yellow in the 4/13/10 mid-day report (read here) as rose from a cup-with-high-handle hit a new 52 week high after a brief consolidation above its old chart high ($21.90). It has an impressive history of very strong annual and quarterly increases in sales revenues and earnings above the +25% guideline which is good concerning the C & A criteria.

A prompt sign of support near its 50 DMA line would be encouraging, while any further deterioration leading to a slump below its August 2009 highs would raise more serious concerns.

Y - Consolidating near its 50 DMA line with volume totals cooling since featured in the 5/04/10 mid-day report (read here) - "Inching into new high ground this week on the right side of a 7-week flat base above its 50 DMA line and well above prior chart highs in the $5 area. Color code is yellow with pivot point noted based upon its 3/15/10 high plus ten cents. Quarterly earnings (C criteria) in the 2 latest quarterly comparisons showed great increases while sales revenues growth accelerated to +27% in the period ended Mach 31, 2010. It has a good annual earnings (A criteria) history, and a small supply (S criteria) of only 11.0 million shares in the public float. Technically, a gain and strong close above its pivot point with heavy volume would trigger a buy signal."
