Leadership Evaporates After New Rally Stalls
Adam Sarhan, Contributing Writer,

It was another volatile day on Wall Street as investors digested dismal housing data and the Fed left rates unchanged as the economy continues to recover from the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Volume totals were reported slightly higher on the NYSE and slightly lower on the Nasdaq exchange compared to Tuesday's levels. Decliners narrowly led advancers on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There was only 1 high-ranked company from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, sharply lower than the 12 issues that appeared on the prior session. Leadership has evaporated, and without a healthy crop of leaders hitting new highs it is hard for the major averages to sustain a rally. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.

The major averages spent the first half of the session in the red after new-home sales plunged to a record low. The Commerce Department said purchases of new homes plunged nearly -33% to an annual pace of 300,000 last month as the government's tax credit expired. The report also showed that the median home price slid to just over $200,000 and prior months readings were downwardly revised. The overtly weak reading left many to question the health of the already fragile economic recovery. In addition, anyone watching housing stocks in recent weeks should now expect dismal news (possibly a double dip on the ailing housing market) to continue in the near future. Around 2:15PM EST, the Federal Open Market Committee held rates unchanged at a record-low range of 0-to-0.25%. Fed officials reiterated their pledge to hold rates at a record low for an "extended period" and signaled that European contagion woes may adversely affect US economic growth.

Technically, the fact that both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index closed below their respective 200-day moving average (DMA) lines suggests the market may retest its recent lows. Looking forward, the 50 DMA line may act as stubborn resistance and this month's lows should act as support. Since the June 15, 2010 follow-through day (FTD), this column has steadily noted the importance of remaining very selective and disciplined because all of the major averages are still trading below their downward sloping 50-day moving average (DMA) lines. This week's sell-off simply confirms that view. Trade accordingly.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index fell for a third straight session. Since the 6/15/10 FTD leadership has been drying up.

Weakness In Broker/Dealer Index Hurting Market Outlook
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.69%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.69%) edged lower, the Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.35%) edged lower, and weakness in energy-related stocks led to similar sized losses for the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.66%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.64%). There were small gains for the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.36%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.41%) while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.12%) and Internet Index ($IIX +0.01%) essentially held their ground. The Retail Index ($RLX +0.22%) and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.26%) also posted small gains on Wednesday's rather quiet trading session.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.69%) is slumping toward its 2010 lows, not showing leadership. The weakness is bad news, since the financial group is an important leading indicator for the overall market.

Medical Products Firm Showing Resilience
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Thoratec Corp (THOR +$0.07 or +0.16% to $44.34) overcame early weakness today, closing -7.5% off its all-time high, but its latest slump under its pivot point has raised some concerns. It struggled initially after breaking out from a choppy 5-week base with a considerable gain on 6/02/10 backed by above average volume. Then it posted a solid gain on 6/16/10 for a new high on above average volume, reconfirming the earlier technical buy signal. In addition to its technical strength, recent quarterly comparisons showed impressive acceleration in its sales revenues increases while earnings above the +25% minimum guideline satisfied the C criteria. If the market's (M criteria) latest confirmed rally produces some strong performing leaders, this high-ranked Medical - Products firm could be among the winners. No overhead supply exists to act as resistance.

Based on weakness it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 2/23/09, yet it has shown especially bullish action since its breakout on 3/05/10. It was mentioned long ago in a 12/15/08 interview on WBBM 780AM - (listen here) and it was featured in yellow in the 12/05/08 Mid-Day Breakouts Report (read here). THOR had rebounded impressively after being featured in the past, then subsequently dropped from the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks list on 2/2/2006.

Color Codes Explained :
Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.
G - Previously featured in past reports as yellow but may no longer be buyable under the guidelines.
