Indices Halt Slide But Lack Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost -2.1%, the benchmark S&P 500 Index shed -2.4%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index gave up -2.6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite Index remained below their 200-day moving average (DMA) lines after the week's damaging losses. On Friday's session the major averages posted gains but finished off their session highs. The volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session's totals. Advancers and decliners were evenly mixed on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership also waned as there were 12 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 15 stocks. There were gains for only 6 of the 14 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that has been shrinking lately while the market environment has deteriorated.
The major averages found early traction on Friday following Speaker John Boehner's press conference on the fiscal cliff, but the indices retreated from their highs after comments from President Obama indicated a clear difference of opinion between his administration and the republican led congress.
Economic data was mixed with import prices rising more than expected and consumer sentiment topping consensus estimates. Stocks traded in a narrow range throughout Friday's session, and seven of the 10 sectors ended higher, led by an advance in tech stocks. Kayak Software Corp (KYAK +27.80%) on news that it was being acquired by Priceline.com (PCLN -0.32%) in a $1.8 billion deal. On the earnings front, shares of Walt Disney Co (DIS -5.96%) and J.C. Penny Company Inc (JCP -4.84%) were off after the companies posted disappointing profit tallies.
Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries ended little changed along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was up 1/32 to yield 1.62% and the 30-year bond was higher by 1/8 of a point to yield 2.75%.
Regular readers may note that this commentary first mentioned a "market correction" on October 11th, calling for reduced market exposure repeatedly if investors were not already completely in cash. During market corrections the M criteria argues against new buying efforts and urges investors to take a defensive stance to protect precious capital. That stance can change back to a bullish stance where buying is encouraged when at least one of the three major averages produces a solid follow-through day (FTD). A FTD confirming a new rally requires substantial gains on higher (ideally above average) volume, coupled with healthy leadership and a respectable number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs. Historic studies have shown that a FTD occurring between Days 4-7 of a new rally effort has often signaled the beginning of the most substantial market rallies.
Investors should always limit losses if ever any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price. Following strict sell rules is precisely how this fact-based investment system prompts investors to reduce exposure and protect cash during market downturns. Keep a watchlist of strong acting stocks with all-key criteria in anticipation of the next confirmed uptrend. See the noteworthy candidates included on the Featured Stocks Page.
Watch for an announcement via email concerning the next WEBCAST. The webcast will also be available via an updated link highlighted at the top of the Premium Member Homepage.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line (2,983.38) and the tech-heavy index finished the week -9.1% off its 2012 high hit on September 21, 2012. In early-June it promptly found support after undercutting its 200 DMA line. While the major indices linger below their 200 DMA lines the risk of more serious losses becomes a greater concern. Bargain hunting is never a part of the fact-based approach supported by CANSLIM.net. Until the major averages produce a new confirmed rally with a follow-through day, disciplined investors know that it is most important to be protecting cash.

Tech Sector Helps Market Halt Slide
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The tech sector saw modest gains from the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.24%), Networking Index ($NWX +0.44%), and the Internet Index ($IIX +0.57%) while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.60%) was a leading gainer. The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.55%) lost ground while the Bank Index ($BKX +0.08%) held its ground. Energy-related shares remained quiet as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.10%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.07%) were little changed on the session. The Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.14%) inched higher, meanwhile the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.37%) was a standout decliner.

Distributional Action in Stock and Broader Market
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Altisource Portfolio Solutions Sa (ASPS -$2.41 or -2.15% to $109.58) rallied back this week following a spurt of distributional losses with above average volume. Important support to watch is at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, then prior highs in the $92 area define the next chart support level. It was recently noted as "Very extended from its latest base." Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days, however its Accumulation/Distribution rating slumped to a C- from a B when last shown in this FSU section on 10/12/12 with an annotated graph under the headline, "New High Close Following Latest Breakout". It subsequently blasted as high as $129.72 on 10/24/12, trading up +116% from when first featured in yellow in the June 5, 2012 mid-day report (read here).
On 9/24/2012 its color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 8/20/12 high plus 10 cents. On 10/03/12 its volume-driven gain above its pivot point triggered a new (or add-on) technical buy signal and it quickly got extended beyond its "max buy" level. Time will tell if it might form another sound base pattern, however the market conditions (M criteria) are an overriding concern arguing for greater caution at the current time.
It reported earnings +61% on +31% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 versus the year ago period. Earnings increases have been above the +25% guideline, satisfying the C criteria, and backed by solid sales revenues increases in the 5 latest quarterly comparisons. This Luxembourg-based Financial Services firm's small supply (S criteria) of only 15.4 million shares in the public float can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 108 in Sep '11 to 160 in Sep '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

G - Pulling back from its 52-week high today for a 3rd consecutive small loss with slightly above average volume. Reported earnings +39% on +15% sales revenues for the Sep '12 quarter, a reassuring follow-up to the previously noted sub par quarter. Upward trendline and 50 DMA line define near term support where violations would trigger technical sell signals.

Y - Pulled back again today and its volume-driven loss led to a close back in its prior base, completely negating its 11/06/12 breakout. It released better than expected earnings +35% on +14% sales revenues for the Sep '12 quarter. Keep in mind the M criteria which argues against new buying efforts until the market is back in a confirmed rally.

G - Consolidating just -2.9% off its 52-week high today after recently finding support at its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings +24% on +19% sales revenues for the Sep '12 quarter, a notch below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). It has not formed a sound base and it is extended from a proper buy point under the fact-based system's guidelines.
