Major Averages Sink Again as Correction Continues
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow fell 223 points to 16,321. The S&P 500 dropped 31 points to 1,874. The NASDAQ declined 63 points to close at 4,213. The major averages finished near Monday's session lows, which doesn't bode well going into Tuesday. The volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a sign that the institutional crowd was not selling as aggressively. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership contracted as there were 5 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. The new 52-week lows list solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were losses for 4 of the 5 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that has waned as market conditions eroded. Distributional action raised concerns while leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) waned and a deteriorating market (M criteria) environment was repeatedly noted in this commentary. New buying efforts are discouraged during market corrections while the fact-based investment system prompts disciplined investors to lean toward reducing market exposure.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is falling below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line with above average volume behind losses on 4 of the past 5 sessions.

The major averages finished firmly in negative territory amid continued concerns over global growth. Corporate profits were also cited as a factor for the pullback with 53 members of the S&P 500 scheduled to post third-quarter results this week. Shares of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co (JPM -0.6%) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ -2.1%) fell ahead of their scheduled earnings releases before tomorrow’s open. Stocks briefly pared losses after Chicago Regional President Charles Evans said the central bank needs to be patient in tightening interest rates.

All 10 sectors in the S&P 500 closed lower on the session. Energy and materials were the worst performing groups. Dow Chemical (DOW -5.6%), Halliburton (HAL -7.4%) and Chevron (CVX -1.6%) fell as crude oil extended its decline. Shares of CSX Corp (CSX +5.9%) was a notable gainer, advancing following reports the railroad operator recently rejected a proposed takeover offer from rival Canadian Pacific (CP -2.3%).

Treasuries were unchanged with the U.S. bond market was closed for the Columbus Day holiday. In commodity trading, WTI crude oil fell -0.9% to $85.07 a barrel on the NYMEX. COMEX gold rose +0.7% to 1,229.90 an ounce.

Energy, Tech, Retail, and Financial Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX -1.89%) was a negative influence on the major averages as the financial group also added pressure as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.02%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -0.75%) both fell. Energy-related shares were standout decliners on Monday as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -3.07%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.44%) slumped. The tech sector saw unanimous losses from the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -2.15%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.13%), and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.46%). Meanwhile, the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.59%) was a standout gainer.
