Extremely Negative Breadth While Market Nosedives
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P downgrade of U.S. sovereign debt sent shock waves through Wall Street as the major averages plunged on Monday. Volume totals were reported even higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, continuing the previously noted market correction (M criteria) with more distributional selling from the institutional crowd. Declining issues beat advancers by 70-1 on the NYSE and by 20-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week lows substantially outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. New highs totals were in the single digits on both major exchanges for the second day in a row. There was 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, down from the prior total of 2 stocks. There were no gainers out of the 9 high-ranked leaders currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
The S&P 500 Index extended its worst slump since the bear market in 2008 and the Dow closed below 11,000 for the first time since October. S&P also lowered credit ratings on Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other lenders with a "direct reliance" on the U.S. government. The action spurred concern over the ripple effects from the loss of America's Triple-A credit rating. The 10-year Treasury note was sharply higher, and the yield fell to 2.34%.
Crude oil fell more than $5 a barrel to an eight-month low. Gold topped $1,700 an ounce. European stock markets plunged even though the European Central Bank began buying Italian and Spanish bonds in an attempt to tame the continent's debt crisis.
Financials and energy stocks were the hardest hit sectors. Bank of America Corp (BAC -20.3%) dove lower after American International Group Inc (AIG -10%) filed suit against the company, claiming losses of over $10 billion on mortgage bond instruments.
The current market correction leaves disciplined investors in a defensive stance, looking toward protecting capital rather than adding more market exposure. A new rally confirmed by a solid follow-through day would be an important reassurance worth waiting for before new buying efforts may be justified. Meanwhile, the indices remain below their respective 200-day moving average (DMA) lines after a well-noted and damaging streak of losses. Fans of the fact-based investment system may recognize the major indices below their 200 DMA lines as a worrisome sign of an "unhealthy" market environment (M criteria).
The August 2011 issue of CANSLIM.net News will be published soon! Links to all prior reports are available on the Premium Member Homepage.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at its low for the session after diving deep below its old April 2010 highs.

Investors Flee Financial Stocks Like Poison
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Financial stocks were treated like poison as the Bank Index ($BKX -10.70%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -9.24%) led the market's sharp decline on Monday. The Oil Services Index ($OSX -10.04%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -8.54%) suffered large losses as crude prices plunged. The Healthcare Index ($HMO -8.66%) continued rapidly giving back the year's previously impressive gains. The Networking Index ($NWX -9.02%) led the tech sector's retreat while the Internet Index ($IIX -6.62%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK -6.57%), and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -5.39%) were also smacked with big losses. The Retail Index ($RLX -6.07%) also rung up a large loss. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.69%) edged lower, unable to rise against the overwhelmingly negative market backdrop.

Negative Reversal to a Close Below its Pivot Point
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
J 2 Global Communication (JCOM -$1.62 or -5.36% to $28.58) finished the session with a loss after a worrisome negative reversal leading to a close back below its pivot point. It has no overhead supply remaining to act as resistance, but the negative backdrop of the broader market (M criteria) bodes poorly for most stocks. Its color code was changed to yellow in today's mid-day report with an annotated daily graph (read here) showing a pivot point based on its 7/07/11 high after a "double bottom" type base.
Technically JCOM has been enduring distributional pressure near previously stubborn resistance in the $30 area since gapping up on 8/03/11 from below its 50-day moving average (DMA) and 200 DMA lines. The 3 latest quarterly comparisons through June '11 show sales revenues and earnings acceleration and the high-ranked Telecom Services - Cable/Satellite firm has a strong annual earnings history, satisfying the C and A criteria. The weekly graph below is packed with a lot of additional data. One concern we have highlighted is the waning ownership by top-rated funds, falling from 420 in Mar '11 to 393 in June '11. Normally, increasing interest from top-rated funds is preferred with respect to the I criteria.

Y - Stubbornly holding its ground against a severely negative market backdrop. After featured in the 8/02/11 mid-day report its 8/03/11 gain triggered a technical buy signal with +170% above average volume behind its gain. The M criteria urges extreme caution, however, since 3 out of 4 stocks generally go along with the broader market averages.
