Leadership Wanes As Data Shows Economic Recovery Slowing

The major averages fell on Wednesday after durable goods fell and the Fed Beige Book showed the economic recovery has slowed. However, it was encouraging to see volume totals, an important indicator of institutional sponsorship, decline on the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange compared to Tuesday's levels. Decliners led advancers by over a 2-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.  New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE while on the Nasdaq exchange new highs were matched by new lows.  There were only 14 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page.  That marked a considerable contraction from the 59 issues that appeared on the prior session and the higher new highs totals that were a recent signs of expanding leadership.

The major averages ended lower after the Commerce Department said durable goods unexpectedly fell last month. Goods that are built to last at least three years fell -1% compared to the Street's estimate of a +1% increase. At 2:00PM EST, the Fed published its Beige Book which summarizes economic conditions at 12 districts around the country. The report showed that the economic recovery slowed in some districts while other districts held steady. Growth held steady in Cleveland and Kansas City, but slowed in Chicago and Atlanta. Other areas showed modest economic conditions. The primary culprit for the lackluster reading was high unemployment which adversely affects consumer spending, a primary driver of the US economy.

It is encouraging to see the major averages hold on to their gains after breaking above their respective 2-month downward trendlines and rising above their respective 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines in recent sessions. It is also healthy to see a new batch of high-ranked stocks breakout of fresh bases as the present rally gets stronger. The window remains open for for high-ranked stocks to be accumulated when they trigger fresh technical buy signals. Trade accordingly.

PICTURED: The benchmark S&P 500 Index is challenging its 200 DMA line and finding some resistance there after recent gains that have lacked volume conviction. It would be most encouraging to see volume increase to above average totals with subsequent gains above the long-term average and its June high.  An expansion in leadership (new highs) would also be a reassuring sign that the rally is strong and sustainable.




Healthcare Group Remains Weak

The tech sector had a negative bias on Wednesday as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.81%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.65%), Networking Index ($NWX -1.47%), and Internet Index ($IIX -0.82%) ended unanimously lower.  Weakness in the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.34%), Bank Index ($BKX -1.32%), and the Retail Index ($RLX -1.00%) also had a negative influence on the major averages.  Energy-related shares fell as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.85%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.64%) suffered small losses, meanwhile the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.32%) edged higher.

PICTURED: The Healthcare Index ($HMO -2.86%) is slumping back below its 50 and 200 DMA lines.

Latest Comparison Marks 3rd Consecutive Quarter of Big Sales Revenues and Earnings Growth

Netlogic MicroSystems Inc. (NETL -$0.43 or -1.29% to $32.80) was featured in yellow in today's mid-day report (read here) while trading within close striking distance of less than -5% from its 52 week high, working on the right side of a 12-week cup shaped pattern without yet forming a proper handle. It faces no remaining resistance due to overhead supply. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news and it was noted in recent mid-day reports - "Earnings news is expected on Wednesday."

Following the close today it reported very strong results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, marking its 3rd consecutive quarter of sales and earnings increases solidly above the +25% minimum guideline. It has also maintained a good annual earnings growth history, so today the C and A criteria are both solidly satisfied, despite its negative comparisons in the Dec '08, and Mar, Jun '09 quarters versus the year ago periods.  The number of top-rated funds owning its shares increased from 115 in Sept '09 to 142 in Jun '10, which is a very reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

The stock is acting healthy and should remain on an active watch list until the stock triggers a fresh technical buy signal which requires gains above its pivot point backed by at least +50% above average volume. Remember to always limit losses per the 7-8% sell rule, and never hold a stock if it falls more than that from your purchase price. Based on weak technical action NETL was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/11/08, and it subsequently fell from $31.73 to as low as $7.21 before rebounding impressively.
