Negative Breadth as Major Averages Retreat From Record Highs

Stocks declined for the second straight session on Wednesday. The volume totals were reported mixed, lighter on the NYSE while volume was higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and 7-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 24 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 a total of 44 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new lows on the Nasdaq exchange, however new lows solidly outnumbered new highs on the NYSE. There were losses for all of the 15 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a more negative bias in that group of leading stocks versus the broader market's negative breadth.

 

The Dow lost 129 points to 15,843. The S&P 500 Index suffered the biggest one-day retreat in nearly five-weeks as it fell 20 points to 1,782. The NASDAQ was down 56 points to 4,003. The major averages dropped as a budget deal in Washington intensified concerns that the Fed may soon begin scaling back its stimulus measures.

All 10 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory. The materials group paced the decline as DuPont (DD -1.87%) and PPG Industries Inc (PPG -2.67%) fell. Health care also weighed on the market. Laboratory Corp of America (LH -10.99%) tumbled after delivering disappointing 2014 earnings projections. In the industrials sector, General Electric Co (GE -2.06%) fell and weighed the most on the S&P 500. On the upside, MasterCard Inc (MA +3.53%) rallied following the announcement of a stock split and a boost to its quarterly dividend.

Treasury prices fell and held losses after a government auction of 10-year debt drew tepid demand. The 10-year note was down 11/32 to yield 2.84%. The 30-year bond lost 21/32 to yield 3.88%

The Market (M criteria) rally has come under more worrisome distributional pressure while leadership (stocks hitting new highs) has waned. Any new buying efforts should be selective. The CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks Page shows the most action-worthy candidates and their latest notes and a new Headline Link directs members to the latest detailed analysis with data-packed graphs annotated by a Certified expert along with links to additional resources.  The Premium Member Homepage - includes "dynamic archives" to all prior pay reports published.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is pulling back toward its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and prior highs defining important support to watch.

Widespread Losses Weighed All Groups Down

Dropped Due to Weakness Following +191% Gain Since Featured

Biotauto Hldgs Ltd Ads (BITA -$1.25 -4.35% to $27.50) will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight after finishing the session near its low and -21.5% off its 52-week high. It Completed a new Public Offering on 12/06/13, and it faces overhead supply that may act as resistance up through the $35 level. It gas been retreating and may test support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, where a violation would be a more worrisome sign. Like any stock that is dropped from the Featured Stocks list, if fundamentals remain strong while a new base forms, and strength eventually returns, it may one day return to the Featured Stocks list.

BITA was last shown in this FSU section on 11/11/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating After Getting Extended From Prior Base".  It traded up as much as +191.7% since first highlighted in the 8/07/13 mid-day report in yellow at $12.01 with the prior pivot point based on its 5/08/13 high plus 10 cents (read here).

This China-based Internet-Content firm reported financial results +129% on +40% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter. Its quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 13.9 million shares in the public float can contribute to great volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. There are 39 top-rated mutual funds as of Sep '13 that currently own an interest in the company, up from 25 in June, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days.
