Major Averages' Declines Led Again By Financial Group

The S&P 500 Index suffered its biggest one-day loss since November while the major averages retreated from their recovery highs on Wednesday. Declining issues overwhelmed advancers by 7-2 on the NYSE and by almost 5-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Volume totals were lighter on the NYSE and heavier on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. The total number of 52-week highs solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There was a total of 55 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 113 on Tuesday's session. On the Featured Stocks Page losses were posted by 22 out of the 24 high-ranked leaders now listed, and Aruba Networks Inc (ARUN -6.39%) was the biggest percentage decliner.

 

The stock market's steady ascent was interrupted as Goldman Sachs (GS -4.7%) shares sank after reporting disappointing revenue. American Express (AXP -2.4%) also fell after warning of lower earnings and job cuts.  Although U.S. Bancorp's (USB -2.89%) earnings beat estimates, its shares fell in sympathy will other bank stocks. Financial shares clearly led the broad-based pullback.

The US dollar fell to the lowest level in almost two months against the euro after President Obama announced a $45 billion package of export deals with China. A weaker report on housing added to challenges for the market. December housing starts dropped to the lowest level in more than a year. The Dow would have been nearly 40 points lower without International Business Machines Corp. (IBM +3.3%) which rallied after the company reported better-than-expected earnings.

PICTURED: The benchmark S&P 500 Index suffered its biggest one-day loss since November, yet it is still well above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines an upward trendline connecting its August-November lows.

Financial Group Leads Broad-Based Retreat

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -2.80%) and Bank Index ($BKX -2.39%) sank as financial shares were among the biggest negative influences on the major averages. Deterioration in financial shares historically makes the major averages vulnerable to greater losses. The Healthcare Index ($HMO -2.57%) gave up some of its recent gains, and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -2.56%) led the tech sector lower while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.36%), Networking Index ($NWX -1.78%), and Internet Index ($IIX -1.40%) finished unanimously lower.  Commodity-linked groups also collectively lost ground as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.83%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.21%), and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.35%) closed lower.

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX -1.18%) slumped near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which recently acted as a support level.

Distributional Pressure Raising Concerns After 40% Rally

Neogen Corp. (NEOG -$0.76 or -1.91% to $38.99 suffered a loss today with above average volume, slumping near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which has been a reliable support level during past consolidations. Its Accumulation/ Distribution rating has slumped to a D+ (see red circle) from a B rating since last appearing in this FSU section on 12/06/10 under the headline "50-Day Moving Average Line Acted As Solid Support Level".  It went on to rally to new all-time highs as much as +40% above its 9/01/10 price when highlighted in yellow as a noteworthy buy candidate. Distributional pressure has it now testing support at its 50 DMA line. It has slightly violated an upward trendline connecting its August-November and early-January lows, raising additional concerns.  

NEOG has a history of steady annual earnings growth (A criteria). The 4 most recent quarterly comparisons have shown accelerating sales revenues growth with earnings per share increases above the investment system's +25% guideline.  Years ago, this stock was first featured on Thursday, February 21, 2008 in the CANSLIM.net Mid Day Breakouts Report (read here) and it was later dropped from the Featured Stocks list.

It is extended from a sound base after adding to a recent cluster of gains backed by above average volume.Prior chart highs in the $29 area define initial support to watch well above its 50 DMA line.

G - Hovering above its previously cited "max buy" level, its color code is changed to green. It held its ground stubbornly after a gap up gain on 1/11/11 with above average volume triggered a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. No resistance remains due to overhead supply.

G - Pulled back today after streak of gains with above average volume. It is extended from a sound base, yet unhindered by overhead supply, it may produce more climactic gains. The recent low near $58.50 and its 50 DMA line define chart support levels to watch.

G - Distributional pressure led to a close today -15.2% off its 52-week high. It remains perched above previously cited support at prior highs near $40. Meanwhile, more damaging losses would raise serious concerns. Its downward sloping 50 DMA line may now act as resistance.

Y - Loss today with near average volume led to a close just pennies below its 12/01/10 high close, raising some concern while technically negating its recent breakout gain with a close back in its prior base. Subsequent volume-driven gains above its pivot point would be a very reassuring sign.

Subscriber Questions:

January  18, 2011

Dear Ken,

Should we be concerned when there is an expanding number of companies on the Leaders List making new 52 week highs while there is negative breadth on the Featured Stocks page such as that which occurred today? Is this any early warning sign in any way? Thanks!  Marcus

 
Ken's Response:

 January 19, 2011

Dear Marcus,

Thanks for asking a great question and helping me bring up some more detailed comments on the Featured Stocks list. Yesterday losses were posted by 15 out of the 25 high-ranked leaders now listed on the Featured Stocks page. Meanwhile, there was a total of 113 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page up from 85 on Friday's session.

One day of negative breadth on the Featured Stocks list alone should not be cause for any great concern, so the occurrence yesterday would not be construed as an early warning sign of any importance. Note that the blue chip Dow Jones Industrial Average, which has been a recently noted laggard index, outperformed the Small-Cap indexes yesterday. Meanwhile, defensive groups including the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.29%) and Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.79%) were among the session's best performers shown in the Industry Group Watch section of the After-Market Update. In sum, the action was a sign of some rotation of funds away from leading "growth" areas which recently enjoyed great gains. 

While you have brought up the subject of the Featured Stocks list, what might be a warning sign and some cause for concern is the list's gradual contraction over recent weeks.  There were 30 on December 1st, but there are only 24 today.  While some new candidates have shown up highlighted as noteworthy, more in recent weeks have been dropped from the Featured Stocks list after damaging sell signals were noted. The expansion or contraction in the list should be viewed as a telling indication of the current market (M criteria) environment. Note that near the Bear Market lows in early 2009 there were as few as 5 stocks on the list. 

Please let me know if there is any way I can be more helpful to you in your efforts.

Best regards,
