Indices Rebounded From Lows But Still Lost More Ground

The major averages ended Monday's session lower, albeit off of their worst levels. Volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was very negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 6-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 13 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 9 stocks, but a far cry from the total of 72 last Tuesday. The list of stocks hitting new 52-lows expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. There was a gain for only 1 of the 8 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that has been waning in recent weeks.

 

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell almost 140 points to 14,659 after being down by as many as 248 points in early action. Stocks were under pressure from the opening bell as investors faced concerns over the health of China's banking system and their economic growth. Despite this, equities trimmed their losses following optimistic comments from several regional Fed Presidents.

Nine of the 10 sectors on the S&P finished lower led by declines in telecom stocks. Shares of Aruba Networks Inc (ARUN -3.22%). On the M&A front, Vanguard Health Systems Inc (VHS +67.34%) rallied on news that the company was being acquired by Tenet Healthcare Corp (THC +4.49%) for about $4.3 billion. In other news, Apple Inc (AAPL -2.65%) to $402.54 after briefly breaking below $400 per share.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries ended mixed along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was down 7/32 to yield 2.57% and the 30-year bond advanced 1/4 of a point to yield 3.57%.

The market (M criteria) weakness has been noted as a "correction" and this commentary has repeatedly reminded members - "Be protective of any gains, and limit losses!  Be especially watchful for any individual issues flashing technical sell signals.  It is vitally important to your success with the fact-based investment system to reduce exposure and preserve cash during market downdrafts."

There is a need for caution until a follow-through day of meaningful gains from at least one of the major averages on higher volume coupled with an expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs). Watch upcoming CANSLIM.net reports and especially the bold portion for us to observe any noteworthy shifts in the market direction (M criteria). 

Individual leaders best matching the winning models of the fact-based investment system are on the Featured Stocks Page - with our Certified experts' latest notes and links to additional resources including detailed analysis with annotated graphs.  The Premium Member Homepage - includes "dynamic archives" to all prior pay reports published.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index traded near an upward trendline connecting its November - April lows after a damaging violation of its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and prior lows last week.

Financial, Retail, Tech, and Commodity-Linked Groups Ended Lower

On Monday the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -4.46%) was a standout decliner with yet another big loss.  The Networking Index ($NWX -2.53%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.02%), and the Internet Index ($IIX -1.48%) led the tech sector lower, meanwhile the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.05%) and the Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.26%) eked out very slight gains. The Bank Index ($BKX -1.60%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.58%) lost ground as weakness in financial shares and the Retail Index ($RLX -0.95%) weighed on the major averages. Weakness in energy-related shares pressured the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.67%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.31%) which both ended with losses.

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.58%) is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and recent lows defining near-term support.

Completed Public Offering Following M&A News

Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc (VRX -$0.42 or -0.50% to $84.00) completed a new Public Offering on 6/18/13. Concerns were raised by its sub par Mar '13 earnings report. Its 50 DMA line ($78.95) defines near-term support above prior highs in the $76 area. VRX was last shown in this FSU section on 6/07/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Rallied on Recently Announced Acquisition News", after the high-ranked Medical - Ethical Drugs firm announced plans to buy Bausch & Lomb for $8.7 billion. Time alone will tell if its recent acquisitions will result in stronger earnings in the upcoming quarterly comparisons.

Prior reports noted - "Investors are taught in the Certification to only buy stocks with a combination of both strong fundamentals and strong technical action, however stocks should be sold based on their technical action only. In this example, more bullish action rewarded patient investors still giving it the benefit of the doubt until any technical sell signals start adding up." 

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 818 in Mar '12 in to 968 in Mar '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Quarterly earnings increases (C criteria) had been strong and well above the +25% guideline until the Mar '13 period, which only showed a +14% earnings increase (see red circle) over the year-ago period. A downturn in FY '07 and '08 earnings (A criteria) has been followed by a strong earnings rebound in recent years.  Return On Equity is currently reported at 37%, well above the 17% minimum guideline of the fact-based system.

Y- Gapped down today raising concerns following 2 consecutive losses with above average volume, now undercutting its pivot point and prior highs previously noted as initial support to watch. Disciplined investors always limit losses if any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price. A close below its old high close ($59.13 on 5/10/13) would completely negate the prior technical breakout.
