Major Averages Ended With Small Losses on Lighter Volume Totals

The major averages finished modestly lower in a choppy session. Monday's volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session total on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 3-2 margin on the NYSE but advancers led decliners by a narrower 7-6 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 122 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 total of 109 stocks. The new 52-week highs totals expanded while new highs easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for just 7 of the 15 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

Sector action on the S&P was mixed with energy stocks leading to the upside. Shares of Apache Corp (APA +3.42%) rallied as crude oil prices advanced +0.7% to $96.72 per barrel. On the earnings front, shares of Campbell's Soup Co (CPB -3.88%) fell despite posting better than expected earnings and revenues in the quarter. Also among earnings, JA Solar Holdings Co Ltd (JASO +70.37%) spiked higher following their quarterly profit tally. In other news, smartphone display supplier Universal Display Corp (PANL +2.37%) rose on reports that Apple was testing displays for an iWatch device.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were lower along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was down 5/32 to yield 1.97% and the 30-year bond gave up 3/16 of a point to yield 3.18%.

The market (M criteria) continues to show healthy leadership with many stocks hitting new 52-week highs reassuring investors a confirmed uptrend is currently at hand. Watch for new stocks featured in the CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report. Action-worthy leaders are covered on an ongoing basis with the latest notes and additional resource links included on the Featured Stocks Page.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index's weekly volume totals were above average in 3 of the past 4 consecutive up weeks while the tech-heavy index rallied to 12-year highs. It is up +15.8% year-to-date.  The indices' rally to new highs confirmed the market's uptrend which means odds are favorable for new buying efforts in stocks meeting all of the fact-based investment system's key criteria.

Financial and Commodity-Linked Gains Outweighed by Other Weakness

The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +5.71%) rebounded off of fresh multi-year lows with a big gain on Monday. Financial shares were a positive influence as the Bank Index ($BKX +0.49%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.30%) posted small gains. Energy-related shares also had a positive bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.89%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.94%) rose. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.06%) finished flat and the Internet Index ($IIX +0.27%) eked out a tiny gain. Meanwhile, the Healthcare Index ($HMO -1.20%) slumped, and the tech sector was mostly lower as the Networking Index ($NWX -0.73%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.44%), and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.32%) fell.

PICTURED: The Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.94%) is rallying to new 2013 highs after holding its ground above prior highs.

Following Fundamental Flaws Technical Weakness Developing

Comcast Corp Cl A (CMCSA -$1.12 or -2.63% to $41.52) slumped to a close just below its 50-day moving average line today with a damaging loss backed by above average volume. Despite fundamental concerns recently noted it had been holding its ground near its 52-week high with volume totals cooling in recent weeks.  The loss today on heavier volume hinted that at least some institutional investors were heading for the exit. Its Relative Strength Rating has slumped to 70, well below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. It may likely find support near its short-term average, however, due to fundamental and technical concerns it will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight. 

The Telecom Services - Cable/Satellite firm's annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and leadership from other firms in the industry group is a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,916 in Jun '11 to 2,303 in Mar '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.  Its huge supply of 2.097 billion shares in the float could make it less likely to be a great sprinter, meanwhile, the S criteria calls for investors to usually look at small-cap or mid-cap companies. Comcast recently reported earnings +13% on +3% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter, marking its 2nd consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings well below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria).  It was last shown in this FSU section on 4/16/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Fundamental Concerns Remain While Hovering At Highs".  Disciplined investors following the fact-based system would likely choose a candidate showing strength and solid earnings increases over one which appears to be faltering.
