Nasdaq Lagging as Major Averages End Mixed Session
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages finished mixed on Thursday. Declining issues beat advancers by 8-7 on the NYSE, while advancing issues held a 13-12 lead on declining issues on the Nasdaq exchange. Volume totals reported on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange were slightly lower than the prior session totals, making it clear that institutional investors were not aggressively buying stocks. New 52-week lows solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Only 2 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from 5 on the prior session. There were 7 gainers out of the 15 of the high-ranked leaders currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
Greece continues to weigh on the U.S. market. European markets declined and the euro dropped further against the dollar as the Greek prime minister asked for a confidence vote amid attempts to win approval for austerity measures.
Better-than-expected housing starts in the U.S. showed an increase that was more than forecast in May, led by a jump in the West. Meanwhile, fewer Americans than forecast filed applications for unemployment benefits last week. The Philadelphia Fed factory index for June dropped to minus -7.7 from a positive reading in May.
Southern Union Co (SUG +17.52%) was up considerably after Energy Transfer Equity LP (ETE +8.22%) agreed to buy the natural gas pipeline company for $4.2 billion. Fiber-optic companies fell after Finisar (FNSR -16.3%) reported earnings that missed estimates.
Home builders, like Lennar (LEN +2.1%), got a boost from the better-than-expected report on housing starts. Citigroup Inc (C -1%) and other high profile financial stocks were in the spotlight on reports international regulators may impose tighter capital surcharges on banks. The Kroger Co (KR +4.5%) rose after the supermarket chain lifted its earnings outlook.
The June 2011 issue of CANSLIM.net News (read here) is now available to all upgraded members. Only UPGRADED members will also have access to the upcoming Q2 2011 Webcast scheduled for Wednesday, June 29th at 8PM EST.
Recent weak action was noted as the market (M criteria) correction caused more worrisome technical damage, reminding investors to raise cash and reduce exposure until a new confirmed rally with follow-through day (FTD) occurs.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is sinking under its 200-day moving average (DMA) line near its lowest close of 2011.

Tech Sector and Gold & Silver Index Weigh Market Down
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The tech sector's losses in the afternoon dragged the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index into the red as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.15%), Internet Index ($IIX -0.76%), Networking Index ($NWX -0.72%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.26%) ended Thursday's session unanimously lower. There was a small loss for the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.36%) while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.05%) finished flat. The Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.20%) edged lower. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.02%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.07%) were little changed while the Bank Index ($BKX +0.56%) posted a modest gain.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.13%) sank to September 2010 lows. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line converged with its 200 DMA line, technically termed a "death cross".

New Pivot Point Cited After Orderly Consolidation
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Healthspring Inc (HS +$0.28 or +0.66% to $42.44) posted a small gain today with near average volume while consolidating near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. That important short-term average and recent lows near $40 define chart support to watch where violations would trigger technical sell signals. Meanwhile, its orderly consolidation is near the minimum length for a new flat base, and its color code is changed to yellow with a new pivot point based on its 52-week high plus 10 cents. A subsequent breakout with well above average volume could trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal, however the M criteria still argues against new buying efforts in stocks until a confirmed rally with follow-through day from at least one of the major averages.
After its last appearance in this FSU section on May 20, 2011 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Extended From Sound Base After +126% Rally in 9 Months", it has held its ground stubbornly while enduring mild distributional pressure. Since HS was first featured at $19.91 in the 8/27/10 mid-day report it has traded up as much as +126.56%. Along the way it had paused to form a new base and a new pivot point was noted before it broke out again in January.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 437 in June '10 to 519 in March '11, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year earlier period its +84% increase in sales revenues marked an acceleration from +30% and +10% increases in the Sep and Dec '10 quarters, respectively. It has maintained strong earnings increases above the +25% guideline (C criteria) in the latest quarters and other bullish characteristics including high ranks. Street earnings estimates calling for EPS growth only in the +5-8% range in FY '11 and FY '12 remain a concern.

Y - Consolidating -7.4% off its 52-week high. Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited following a choppy cup-with-handle base. Recent lows and its 50 DMA line define important nearby chart support. The M criteria argues against new buying efforts without a FTD from at least one of the major averages as confirmation of a new rally.

Damaging loss today on above average volume violated the previously noted chart low ($38.84 on 5/12/11) triggering a more worrisome technical sell signal. Only a rebound above its 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve, technically. Based on its deterioration it will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight.

Y - Posting a small gain today following a worrisome negative reversal on 6/15/11 with volume 4 times average after hitting a new 52-week high. Prior resistance in the $24-25 area may now act as an initial support level. Previously noted - "Concerns remain until a follow-through day confirms the broader market (M criteria) is truly favorable."
