Decliners Outnumber Advancers As Financial Industry Faces Scrutiny

The major averages traded in positive territory early but slumped in the late afternoon Thursday as the Nasdaq Composite Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average both encountered resistance and slumped back below their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines. Volume totals were reported slightly lower on the Nasdaq and very near the but just above the NYSE's Wednesday total.  Decliners led advancers by about a 2-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.  New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 25 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, matching the 25 issues that appeared on the prior session. New leadership is a critical part of any rally effort, and while disciplined investors are awaiting a follow-through-day from at least one of the major averages it is somewhat reassuring to see the new highs list expanding.

Financial stocks faced pressure after a report showed a Federal investigation into mortgage-related bond deals. New York prosecutors are probing eight major Wall Street firms over whether they misled rating companies about mortgage-backed securities. In recent weeks, rating agencies have suffered tremendous criticism over their role in the financial crisis. It is disconcerting to see the highly influential financial group (Broker/Dealer Index) continue to lag its peers, evidenced by the lackluster action in several key names. Most of the major financial firms are now trading below both their respective 50 DMA and 200 DMA lines, which is not an healthy sign.   

So far, +77% of S&P 500 companies beat analyst profit estimates during the first quarter. This is one of the strongest quarterly results in the past decade and bodes well for the ongoing economic recovery. Remember that in late 2009, the S&P 500 snapped a record nine-quarter losing streak in earnings which illustrated how weak the economy was since 2007. However, the fact that earnings have turned higher bodes well for the current recovery.

Thursday marked Day 4 of the current rally attempt which means that as long as Monday's lows are not breached the window is now open for a proper follow-through-day (FTD) to emerge. In order for a proper FTD to emerge one would have to see at least one of the major averages rally at least +1.7% on higher volume than the prior session as a new batch of high ranked leaders trigger fresh technical buy signals. Once that occurs, then the current rally attempt will be confirmed and the ideal window for accumulating high-ranked stocks will be open again. However, if Monday's lows are breached, then the day count will be reset. Trade accordingly.




Healthcare Group Meandering Since New Legislation Passed

Weak action in the Retail Index ($RLX -2.98%) and big losses from the tech sector's Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.70%) and Networking Index ($NWX -2.64%) put the most pressure on the major averages on Thursday. There were modest losses in the Internet Index ($IIX -0.93%) and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.53%).  The Bank Index ($BKX -1.54%) was the weaker of the financial indexes regularly followed in this IGW section, while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.38%) ended with a small loss. Defensive groups also fell as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.77%), Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.55%), and energy-related Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.04%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.88%) finished unanimously lower.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.55%) is consolidating below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and meandering in the middle of this year's trading range, not showing particularly decisive action since President Obama signed new healthcare legislation.

Put Latin-American Internet - eCommerce Firm On Watch List

Mercadolibre Inc. (MELI -$0.03 or -0.06% to $53.05) negatively reversed for a loss on higher volume today, an indication it was encountering more distributional pressure while challenging previously stubborn resistance. The Latin American Internet - eCommerce firm was featured in yellow in today's mid-day report (read here) and noted as it traded within 5 cents of its 52-week high. It rallied back impressively from last week's test of support at its long-term 200-day moving average (DMA) line. That long-time average acted as a firm support level in the early part of the year. The high-ranked leader's pivot point is based upon its 12/28/09 high plus ten cents. Top-rated funds owning an interest rose from 62 in Dec '08 to 102 in Mar '10, which is encouraging concerning the I criteria. Its strong quarterly earnings and annual earnings history satisfy the C and A criteria.  Disciplined investors will watch for a proper technical buy signal.  It is an ideal candidate for one's watch list while awaiting the new rally effort's confirmation in the form of a sound follow-through day of gains from at least one of the major averages on higher volume.

G - Negative reversal today for a loss on high volume after early gains for a new all-time high. It is extended from any sound base following a big gap up gain on 5/12/10 as a 10:1 stock split occurred. Last week's loss broke a 13 week winning streak. Prior notes mentioned its small supply of shares as a factor that might contribute to more climactic gains. It is clear of resistance due to overhead supply.
