Stocks Fall After Fed Lowers GDP Forecast
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
While the major averages lost ground on Wednesday, the volume total was reported lower on the Nasdaq exchange, and the NYSE volume total was near the prior session's total. Declining issues beat advancers by 4-3 on the NYSE and by 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. For a second consecutive session new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the Nasdaq exchange and the NYSE. There were 41 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, one notch above the total of 40 on the prior session. However, only 2 of the 14 of the high-ranked leaders currently included on the Featured Stocks Page posted gains.
The Federal Open Market Committee downgraded its assessment of the economic recovery, but offered no new steps to improve growth or jobs. The central bank repeated a pledge to keep interest rates low for an extended period and said inflation pressures appear to be temporary. The major averages drifted steadily lower during the afternoon as Wall Street received the cautious forecast from the Federal Reserve. During Chairman Bernanke's press conference he announced that the Fed now believes 2011 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth will range from 2.7% to 2.9%, down from the range of 3.1% to 3.3% that was announced in April.
Encouraging comments from FedEx Corp (FDX +2.59%) included a positive earnings report and promising outlook. Earnings and revenue topped expectations for the shipping giant and the news inspired optimism in transportation sector shares. D.R. Horton Inc (DHI +1.4%) and other homebuilders also advanced after the Federal Housing Finance Agency said prices gained in April from a month earlier. Analysts were expecting a decline. Meanwhile, Adobe Systems Inc (ADBE -6.25%) was hurt after giving a disappointing forecast.
The S&P 500 Index's +1.34% gain on Tuesday was considered a questionable gain borderline with the minimum gain expected for a follow-through day (FTD). On Tuesday the S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index and S&P 600 Small-Cap Index both posted +1.9% gains on Day 3 and Day 4 of their rally attempts, respectively. The strength in small stocks and expansion in the new 52-week highs list was noted as an encouraging sign for growth-oriented investors who might cautiously look to accumulate ideal buy candidates, however the newspaper summarized the latest action with the conclusion that the broader market (M criteria) still remains in a correction. Thursday's session will mark Day 4 of the Nasdaq Composite Index's rally attempt.
A follow-through day (FTD) occurring between Day 4 and Day 7 of a new rally is considered the most ideal confirmation of a new rally attempt. As previously explained, to produce a solid FTD there should be a gain of at least +1.4% or more from at least one of the major averages, and the gain must come with higher volume and an expansion in leadership (new 52-week highs). Meanwhile, any deterioration under the Day 1 lows would officially end the nascent rally attempt and signal that the market's correction is continuing.
Upgraded members will have access to the upcoming Q2 2011 Webcast scheduled for Wednesday, June 29th at 8PM EST and the July 2011 issue of CANSLIM.net News to be released soon afterward.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average's loss marked Day 5 of its rally attempt.

Tech, Retail, and Influential Financial Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Weakness in the Retail Index ($RLX -1.14%) and influential financial shares' losses dragged the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.03%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.92%) lower, weighing on the major averages. The Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.92%) backpedaled while the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.77%) posted a gain and energy related shares were mixed as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.48%) edged lower and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.39%) edged higher. The tech sector's Internet Index ($IIX -0.85%), Networking Index ($NWX -0.72%), and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.47%) lost ground and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.02%) finished flat.

Faltering After Breakout Yet Finding Support
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
First Cash Financial Services Inc. (FCFS -$0.51 or -1.29% to $38.96) lost ground today on lighter than average volume. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines initial support to watch while its recent lows in the $37 area also define nearby support. Its color code was changed to green after damaging losses on higher volume negated its latest breakout. Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 5/31/11 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Fresh Technical Breakout From Firm in Finance - Consumer Loans Industry", as it gapped up today and hit a new 52-week high, rising from an orderly flat base pattern with 3 times average volume triggering a technical buy signal.
It was color coded yellow with pivot point cited based on its 52-week high plus ten cents when featured in the 5/31/11 mid-day report (read here). It reported earnings +52% on +28% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been steady. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose slightly from 336 in Jun '10 to 349 in Mar '11.
The major averages' recent gains were coupled with higher volume totals on the major exchanges and an expansion in the number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs. While the action signaled accumulation, a more convincing follow-through day (FTD) of gains from at least one of the major averages is still needed to confirm a substantial improvement in the M criteria (market direction).

Its color code was changed back to yellow after its recent resilience. Disciplined investors may watch for gains above its recent highs and wait for a follow-through day to confirm a new rally. Meanwhile, recent lows near $75 define important support to watch. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 6/6/2011. Click here.
