S&P 500 Index Fell -14.3% in Third Quarter
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up +1.3%, the S&P 500 Index fell -0.4%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index dropped -2.7%. Higher volume was reported on the NYSE on Friday while the Nasdaq exchange saw lighter volume. Breadth was negative as declining issues beat advancers by 4-1 on the NYSE and by more than 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The new 52-week lows totals increased and easily outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the Nasdaq exchange and the NYSE, and the new highs total on the Nasdaq exchange remained in the single digits. There were only 2 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 3 on the prior session. There were losses for all 13 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

The recent themes prevailed as a difficult quarter ended on Wall Street with another sharp loss. Data from overseas reinforced the perception that the global economy is slowing, and overshadowed U.S. economic reports on business activity and consumer sentiment that were better than expected. A report out of China got the most attention. A gauge of Chinese manufacturing dropped for the third straight month.

Basic materials, industrials and financials brought up the rear. Ingersoll Rand Plc (IR -12.11%) after lowering its earnings outlook. Micron Technology Inc (MU -14.14%) sank after posting an unexpected net loss in the latest quarter. Eastman Kodak Co (EK -53.84%) plunged to 78 cents following a report the company is weighing a bankruptcy filing. The 10-year Treasury note rallied 26/32 to yield 1.91%.

The market environment (M criteria) is clearly under pressure and back in a correction after the heavy wave of distributional action last week. The latest confirmed rally may, at best, be considered barely alive by the fact that the Nasdaq Composite Index and S&P 500 Index are still fighting to stay above their respective Day 1 (8/09/11) lows.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index dropped for the fifth straight month, the longest losing streak since 2008, and finished the quarter down -14.3%. The benchmark index is -28.2% off its October 2007 all-time high and -17.4% off its high from May 2, 2011.

Financial Groups' Weakness Still Poisoning Broader Market
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Financial shares' weakness continued to poison the market as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -4.78%) and Bank Index ($BKX -3.81%) had a heavy negative influence on Friday. The tech sector was led lower by big losses from the Networking Index ($NWX -3.74%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -3.42%), Internet Index ($IIX -3.09%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.99%). Energy-related shares faced pressure as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -4.00%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -3.26%) both sank. The Retail Index ($RLX -2.64%) and Healthcare Index ($HMO -1.89%) also created a drag on the major averages, meanwhile the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.30%) was a standout performer with its modest closing gain.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -4.78%) ended near the year's lowest close. Persistent weakness in the financial group has been a "leading indicator" which has again followed historic precedent while leading the broader market lower in recent months.

Slump Under Old Highs Near Prior Pivot Point Cited
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Mistras Group Inc (MG -$0.55 or -3.04% to $17.56) has slumped under its old highs and violated its 50-day moving average line triggering technical sell signals. It finished near the pivot point cited in the mid-day report on 8/10/11 when it was then charging toward its April highs. After rallying above them to new highs its prior resistance acted as a support level while consolidating. Any subsequent losses could lead to more worrisome technical damage, meanwhile a rebound above its 50 DMA is needed for its outlook to improve. Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 9/09/11 with an annotated daily graph under the headline, "Hovering Near Highs Well Above Support".

Since its last FSU analysis was published the Building - Maintenance Services group has seen its Group Relative Strength Rating slump to (42), which is mediocre, whereas the L criteria calls for leadership in the industry group. The chart below shows the stock slumping under its 50 DMA line and under old (April) highs, trading near its previously cited pivot point. It has maintained its solid earnings history concerning the C and A criteria. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 99 in Sep '10 to 153 in Jun '11, a very reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. After its 5/05/11 Public Offering the company management's still large 47% ownership interest keeps them very motivated to look after and build shareholder value. The small supply (S criteria) of only 27.7 million shares outstanding and 14.7 million in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. Disciplined investors always limit losses at 7-8% if ever a stock falls that much after purchased. If the market environment (M criteria) is not favorable, 3 out of 4 stocks typically follow the direction of the major averages. Disciplined investors do not fight the tape!
