S&P 500 Index Narrowly Avoids 7th Consecutive Weekly Loss
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 Index narrowly avoided tallying its 7th consecutive weekly loss with the help of Friday's small gain. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite Index was down -1% for the week for its 5th weekly loss in a row. For the week, the Dow gained +0.4%, making the blue chip index the exception. The major averages finished mixed on Friday. Advancers led decliners by 3-2 on the NYSE with the mix was close to even on the Nasdaq exchange. Options expirations contributed to higher volume totals reported on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week lows solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 8 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from 2 on the prior session. There were 5 gainers out of the 14 of the high-ranked leaders currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
Stocks were said to have bounced in response to news this morning that Greece has appointed a new finance minister and that German and French officials support quick implementation of plans to address the country's fiscal woes. Meanwhile, Moody's reminded investors about the precarious fiscal conditions extant in the eurozone and announced that Italy's debt rating is on review for possible downgrade.
An unexpected gain of 0.8% in U.S. leading economic indicators was a sign that growth may pick up by the end of the year. At the same time, the International Monetary Fund cut its forecast for U.S. growth in 2011. The energy group was hurt by a 2% drop in oil prices to about $93 per barrel.
Weakness in the tech sector was largely attributable to sharp losses among semiconductor stocks, contributing to the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite Index's further technical deterioration. Research In Motion Ltd (RIMM -21.45%) upset investors with downside guidance and sank to its lowest level in more than four years. The company warned quarterly revenue may drop for the first time in nine years.
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 S&P 500 Index has slumped near it 200-day moving average (DMA) line and March lows which define a likely support level.

Tech Sector Weakness Continues Causing Damage
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
A modest gains for the Retail Index ($RLX +0.75%) along with gains from the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.71%) and Bank Index ($BKX +1.09%) helped offset weakness in other groups on Friday. The tech sector lagged as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.44%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.16%), Internet Index ($IIX -0.65%), and Networking Index ($NWX -0.24%) finished the session with unanimous losses. The Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.64%) ended modestly lower and commodity-linked groups were quiet as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.63%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.05%) edged lower and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.33%) posted a small gain.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.44%) is down -11.7% since the end of May and -18.1% from its February 2011 high. The tech sector is typically an important contributor to market rallies. Its poor performance has clearly been a factor in the deterioration of the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (shown violating its 200-day moving average line in the prior Market Commentary - click here).

Computer Software Firm Extended From Last Base Pattern
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Informatica Corp. (INFA +$0.59 or +1.10% to $54.13) posted a small gain today, finding support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. It hit a new 52-week high on 6/01/11 but then there was a negative reversal noted. This high-ranked Computer Software - Database firm did not form a sound new base pattern. Following its last appearance in this FSU section with an annotated daily graph on 5/24/11 under the headline "Prior Highs and 50-Day Average Define Support to Watch", it surged to new highs with volume-driven gains. It is extended from its latest sound base pattern. Disciplined investors may watch for a new base to form and new (or add-on) buy signals to possibly develop and be noted. Since the 3/24/11 mid-day report highlighted this Redwood City, CA-based Computer Software - Database firm in yellow it has traded as much as +19.86% higher.
It reported +33% earnings on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. That followed prior strong results after its Jun, Sep, and Dec '10 earnings increases were all above the +25% minimum guidelines. It has also maintained a steady annual earnings (A criteria) history. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 634 in Mar '10 to 715 in Mar '11, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Y - Consolidating -9% off its 52-week high now, poised to close the week slumping just under its 50 DMA line with its 3rd consecutive loss on below average volume. Recent lows also help define important near-term chart support in the $29 area. 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. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 6/13/2011.
