Leadership Wanes as Major Averages Show Technical Deterioration
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks retreated on Thursday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 75 points to 16,368. The S&P 500 fell 12 points to 1,909. The NASDAQ declined 20 points to 4,334. The volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session volume total on the Nasdaq exchange but lighter on the NYSE. Decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and 9-5 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 7 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 prior session total of 9 stocks. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 4 of the 11 of the high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The market (M criteria) deterioration of late earned the label of a "correction" as the technical damage became significant to chart readers and leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) waned. Disciplined investors limit losses and reduce market exposure during rough market periods by selling any stocks which fall more than -7% from their purchase price.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index recently slumped below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. A rebound above that important short-term average is needed for its outlook to improve.
After gaining in early trading, the major averages dropped as heightened geopolitical concerns prompted profit taking. Russia imposed a ban on importing food from western nations and a combat aircraft was also shot down over Ukraine. The escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine overshadowed positive economic data. A report showed that jobless claims unexpectedly fell by 14,000 last week to 289,000, while the four-week average declined to an eight-year low.
At the close, eight of the 10 sectors in the S&P 500 were down. Health care and telecom were notable underperformers. Johnson and Johnson (JNJ -0.8%) and Pfizer (PFE -0.9%), Verizon (VZ -1.1%) and AT&T (T -0.9%) fell. The defensive utilities sector was the relative outperformer. Duke Energy (DUK +0.9%) rose following the company's strong profit tally.
Treasuries gained ground. The benchmark 10-year note rose 15/32 to yield 2.41%. The 30-year bond increased 27/32 to yield 3.22%.

Financial, Tech, Retail, and Energy-Related Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Financial shares were a negative influence on the major averages on Thursday as the Bank Index ($BKX -0.87%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.95%) lost ground.

The Retail Index ($RLX -0.22%) ended the session with a small loss. The Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.77%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.59%) both edged lower while the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.03%) finished flat.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

Following 50-Day Moving Average Violation Gains Lacked Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
E Q T Midstream Partners' (EQM -$0.38 or -0.45% to $83.62) has only tallied gains with light volume in recent weeks, even after violating its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with volume-driven losses that triggered a technical sell signal. It recently reported earnings +37% on +21% sales revenues for the Jun '14 quarter, an improvement after 2 sub par quarterly earnings comparisons. Technically, it needs gains above its 50 DMA line for its outlook to improve and it faces resistance due to overhead supply while it is consolidating -18.4% off its 52-week high.
It was last shown in this FSU section on 7/17/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Volume Totals Cooling While Consolidating Near Highs". It completed a new Public Offering of 10.75 Million common units on 5/01/14. It traded up as much as +92.8% since first highlighted in yellow in the 12/12/13 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point based on its 11/18/13 high plus 10 cents. It completed a new Public Offering on 7/16/13, then made gradual progress afterward. This MLP in the Natural Gas business has seen the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 20 in Jun '12 to 95 in Jun '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
