Major Indices Fell On Lighter Volume Totals

For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up +0.6%, the S&P 500 Index gained +0.3%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index rose +1.5%. Friday's losses came with lighter volume totals than on Thursday's session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a reassuring sign indicating that institutional selling pressure was not weighing on the market following recent gains. Declining issues beat advancers 7-3 on the NYSE and by 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the Nasdaq exchange and the NYSE. There were only 27 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the total of 160 on the prior session. There were only 5 gainers out of the 16 high-ranked leaders currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

The market started the session heading lower following a dismal report on the job market that quieted enthusiasm for a quick economic rebound. The Labor Department said employers added only 18,000 workers in June, the fewest in nine months. The unemployment rate unexpectedly climbed for a third straight month to 9.2 percent. Another economic report was largely ignored. Inventories at U.S. wholesalers rose more than forecast in May, led by the biggest jump in auto stockpiles in five years.

Google Inc (GOOG -2.62%) fell after on a brokerage downgrade. Bank of America Corp (BAC -2.01%) and many influential financial shares slumped. Energy-related shares faced modest losses while crude oil prices tumbled more than $2 a barrel. Amylin Pharmaceuticals Inc (AMLN +3.72%) was a standout after the drugmaker said its experimental diabetes treatment will be resubmitted for regulatory approval earlier than expected.

The strength in stocks and expansion in the new 52-week highs list have been noted as encouraging signs for growth-oriented investors who might cautiously look to accumulate ideal buy candidates.

Our July 2011 issue of CANSLIM.net News is due to be released soon with a comprehensive summary of current market conditions that further clarifies matters concerning the M criteria!  The Q2 2011 CANSLIM.net Webcast is available "ON DEMAND" now  to UPGRADED MEMBERS ONLY - (CLICK HERE).   

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index rallied from its 200-day moving average without great volume conviction to nearly challenge its 52-week high.

Financial Groups Drag Major Averages Lower

Financial shares created a drag on the major averages on Friday as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.81%) and Bank Index ($BKX -1.59%) were clearly laggards. The tech sector had a mostly negative bias as the Networking Index ($NWX -1.65%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.57%) slumped worse than the Internet Index ($IIX -0.53%), meanwhile the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.19%) eked out a small gain. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.15%) finished virtually unchanged while energy-related shares were modestly lower and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.78%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.59%) lost ground.  Small losses for the Retail Index ($RLX -0.46%) and Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.65%) rounded out a mostly negative session.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -1.59%) has been encountering resistance at its 50-day moving average line.

Wedged To New Highs Without a Sound Base or Great Volume

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (CMG -$3.19 or -0.97% to $325.30) pulled back today from its all-time high after 9 gains on near average volume in the span of 10 sessions. It has been repeatedly noted as extended from prior highs that define initial chart support to watch. It was last shown in the FSU section on 6/15/11 with an annotated daily graph under the headline, "Quiet Consolidation; Latest Earnings Increase Under +25%", when consolidating near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. It did not form a sound base pattern before then wedging to new high territory without especially great volume conviction. An upward trendline connecting its prior lows defines a near-term technical support level to watch illustrated on the weekly graph below. It is perched just -1.4% off its 52-week and all-time high with no resistance due to overhead supply.

CMG currently has an A rating for Accumulation/Distribution. Ownership by top-rated funds rose from 530 in Mar '10 to 689 in Mar '11, a nice reassurance concerning the I criteria of the investment system. Sales revenues increases have been strong, however the quarter ended March 31, 2011 showed earnings +23%. That was the first increase under the +25% guideline for the C criteria in years, raising some concerns. It has a good annual (A criteria) earnings history.
