 CLOSING  MARKET COMMENTARY  
Major Averages' Plunge Led By Financial Stocks

The major averages got smacked on a one-two-punch from a record jump in oil prices and a disconcerting jobs report. Decliners trumped advancers by a 4-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. Volume totals were mixed on the major exchanges; NYSE was reported higher and The NASDAQ was just a bit lower, marking a clear distribution day.  There were 66 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, lower than the 71 issues that appeared on the prior session. The total number of stocks making new 52-week lows again outnumbered stocks making new 52-week highs on both major exchanges.

Before Friday's opening bell, the Labor Department said that jobs fell for a fifth consecutive month in May and the unemployment rate experienced its largest single month advance in over two decades. Payrolls slid by 49,000 last month and the unemployment rate jumped by 0.5%, to 5.5%. Supposedly, there was a massive surge of teenagers (a.k.a. students) into the workforce last month which helped drive the largest jump in teenage joblessness since at least 1948.

Elsewhere, energy prices surged nearly $10 a barrel to a record as the dollar weakened after the jobs data was released. It should be noted that on Thursday, crude oil jumped over $5 a barrel which was a new record one day advance. This means that in less than 48 hours crude oil surged over +10%, hitting a new record high. Of course, higher energy prices act as an indirect tax on both the consumer and most businesses. Surging energy prices continue to hinder growth. 

It is of the utmost importance for growth investors to exercise patience while being protective of capital. In the event that sufficient leadership does not quickly emerge, this rally may be short lived and suffer the same fate as the February 13, 2008 follow-through day.  Although we observed the Thursday, June 5, 2008 gains from the Nasdaq Composite Index as a follow-through day which confirmed a new rally attempt, Friday's prompt about face and ominous action was clearly indicative of heavy distribution. Such immediate signs of distributional pressure usually do not bode well for a new rally.  The large and widespread losses virtually put an end to the market's latest rally; however, Nasdaq technically has not undercut its May 23rd low.  

PICTURED: The benchmark S&P 500 Index slashed through key technical support levels on Friday, plunging under its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and below its recent chart lows.

Financial, Retail & Tech Groups Lead a Broad Market Retreat

Deteriorating financial stocks have been dragging on the major averages for a long time, and on Friday the Bank Index ($BKX -5.25%was slammed with big losses once again and dove to new lows.  Right behind them with big losses were the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -4.88%) and the Retail ($RLX -4.28%), both of which sliced under their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines.  The tech sector also ended with big losses from the Internet ($DOT -3.00%), Semiconductor ($SOX -2.89%), Networking ($NWX -2.65%), and Biotechnology ($BTK -2.06%) indexes, and the Healthcare ($HMO -2.74%) group backpedaled also.  After early gains that challenged its all-time highs, the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.43%) closed with a loss and near its session low, and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.42%) also erased its earlier gains.  A second consecutive day of solid gains helped the range bound Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.73%) rebound and close the week above its 50 & 200 DMA lines after choppy action this week took it below both lines.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -5.25%) has been revisited in this commentary again and again, and we have repeated its importance because of the track record financial shares have serving as a forward looking indicator for the broader market.  The 1-year chart above shows the early-June deterioration to new 2008 lows at the close on Friday.  Those new lows are also shown on the 3-year chart above, which gives you a clear picture of the -42.5% decline in this index from its February 2007 high.

FEATURED  STOCKS UPDATE  

Latest Notes on All Featured Stocks | Recently Featured Stock Updates

The stocks below have been recently featured by CANSLIM.net. Our experts monitor these stocks and post updates on noteworthy action here.

Foreign Bank in Healthy Shape Above Prior Base and 50 DMA

Healthy stocks that are within close striking distance of new highs are often great buy candidates for investors to keep on their watch lists, especially when the companies match favorably with all of the investment system's criteria.  When a stock is more than -10% off its 52-week high, and if it has violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, then the outlook only gets worse and worse as it spends a greater period of time trading deeper under that important short-term average line. By the time a stock's 50 DMA line starts sloping downward it should also be acknowledged that the stock has been struggling for a long while, in which case it might be time to reduce exposure and look for places to put that money to work in stronger buy candidates.

Credicorp Ltd. (BAP -$2.16 or -2.67% to $83.11) ended with a loss on light volume. BAP sports strong ranks; its Earnings Per Share (EPS) rating is 98 and Relative Strength (RS) rating is 91.  This stock was recently featured on Thursday, May 8, 2008 in the CANSLIM.net Mid Day Breakouts Report (read here) with a $80.49 pivot point (which it had recently cleared) and a $84.51 maximum buy price and the following note: "Y - Reported solid earnings news but suffered an analyst downgrade and gapped down today, dipping under prior chart highs in the $80 area before rebounding. Recently featured in 4/24/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here). Based on weak technical action it was previously dropped from the Featured Stocks list 1/25/08. It held up well above its 200 DMA line and repaired the recent technical damage with a gap up on 4/01/08 above its 50 DMA line. It was previously featured in the 12/12/07 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here). Earnings and sales growth has been strong in the past 4 quarters and on an annual basis (good C and A criteria)." 

As long as it continues consolidating above its 50 DMA and prior chart highs it remains in healthy shape and may deserve the benfit of the doubt.  Disciplined investors stick to buying stocks within the investment system's guidelines and remember to always limit losses per the 7-8% sell rule.

Recently consolidating near support at its 200 DMA line and prior chart lows in the $24 area which were previously noted as important levels to watch. It gapped down on 4/14/08 and violated its 50 DMA line, raising concerns. It has failed to make headway and pulled back since featured in the 2/21/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here) and later that afternoon in a more detailed CANSLIM.net Stock Bulletin (read here). It has shown steady annual earnings growth and its quarterly earnings increases have been borderline, but not especially impressive (for the C and A criteria) in respect to the system's +25% guideline.

Y - Holding steady since featured in 6/04/08 CANSLIM.net Stock Bulletin with detailed analysis and an annotated graph (read here). Found prompt after a recent pullback toward prior chart resistance in the $22-23 area. First featured in the 5/21/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here). Little resistance remains due to overhead supply. Good annual and quarterly earnings increases meet the C & A criteria. Its small supply of shares outstanding could contribute to greater volatility, especially if institutional investors rush in or out. This high-ranked leader is in an industry group that has mostly been lagging and is ranked near the bottom of the 197 industry groups list, however strength and leadership from others in the group including AMED and USPH provide some reassurance with respect to the L criteria.

Y - Consolidating near highs with volume drying up in recent weeks. Featured in the June 2008 issue of CANSLIM.net News (read here). Look for AAPL to trigger a fresh technical buy signal, which could come if it rallies and closes above its pivot point with gains backed by volume of at least 50.5 million shares. Volume needs to be at least +50% above average when the stock manages to close above its pivot point in order to trigger a proper technical buy signal - the high volume behind a breakout's gains is a critical sign of institutional buying demand (the I criteria).

Y - Falling back toward its 50 DMA line. Gapped up and hit new all-time highs on 6/05/08 after reporting earnings and raising guidance, however it encountered prompt resistance at prior chart highs in the $72 area (near its max buy level) and erased much of its early gains. It recently found support near its 200 DMA line. See the Featured Stock Update section of the 4/09/08 CANSLIM.net After Market Update for analysis and an annotated graph (read here). Its 3/25/08 gain above its pivot point with +52% above average volume was just above the minimum volume guideline for a proper technical buy signal. Decelerating sales revenues growth rate is a concern. Featured in the 1/31/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here). Hails from the high-ranked Containers group, which is reassuring concerning the L criteria.

It blasted to a new high after a positive reversal on 4/29/08 following reporting earnings per share +33% and sales +48%.

It traded as lows as $33.96, near its recent chart lows and its 50 DMA line, before finding prompt support. Featured in the 5/29/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here) as it hit new multi-year highs with a considerable gain with volume running at an above average pace. Earnings and sales increases have improved in recent quarterly comparisons. Gapped up on 12/21/07 when we noted that its recent quarters showed improving sales and earnings. Featured in the August 2004 issue of CANSLIM.net News, but it later fell out of favor and was dropped from the Featured Stocks list, making it a "turn around story" now.

Its considerable gain on 4/22/08 helped it rise above its pivot point with volume more than triple its average daily trading total, triggering a proper technical buy signal.

The Featured Stock Update section of the 3/28/08 CANSLIM.net After Market Update provided a detailed analysis and an annotated graph (read here). Its small supply of shares and very light trading volumes could lead dramatic price volatility, especially if the institutional crowd rushes in or out.

Y - Consolidating near support at its nearby 50 DMA line. Previously noted 5/22/08 gap down and loss on above average volume which raised concerns as it fell below its pivot point. Featured in the 5/19/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here) after it gapped up and hit a new all-time high, following prior gaps up on 5/01/08 and 4/16/08. Good annual earnings history and 3 consecutive quarterly reports have shown sales revenues and earnings increases both above the +25% guideline (good C and A criteria). Number of top-rated funds owning an interest rose from 94 in Jun '07 to 155 in Mar '08, helping satisfy the I criteria.

Y - Gapped down for a small loss today on light volume, falling under its pivot point toward support at its 50 DMA line. For the past 4 weeks volume has been drying up while building a new base. Gapped up on 5/12/08 above prior week's high and traded to new all-time highs with considerable gains backed by volume +61% above its average daily trading pace helping confirm a technical buy signal. It recovered impressively while its fundamentals remained strong. Based on weak technical action, it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 1/7/08. Coverage on 11/12/07 highlighted analysis of its 50-day moving average violation that followed a huge run up (see details and annotated graph here). This long-time favorite rose at least 16-fold after first featured in the December 2003 issue of our monthly newsletter, CANSLIM.net News (read here).

Y - Gapped down and fell toward support at its 50 DMA line while recently pulling back under its max buy level. As previously noted, "Patience may allow for accumulation on light volume pullbacks." Its earnings growth rate has been stellar - satisfying the C and A criteria. Gapped up on 5/09/08 after reporting solid sales and earnings increases for the latest quarter ended March 31, 2008 and providing stronger guidance. Confirming group leadership (the L criteria) came from Google after its latest earnings report. See the Featured Stock Update section of the 4/14/08 CANSLIM.net After Market Update for analysis and an annotated graph demonstrating how it found great support in recent weeks near its 50 DMA line, an important short term average where healthy stocks typically find support from institutional investors (read here). Its 4/18/08 gap up was a previously noted bullish technical indication of institutional accumulation (the I criteria) during its latest base. PCLN has traded up as much as +50% above the pivot point noted when featured in the 11/09/07 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here).

Y - Negatively reversed today after hitting a new all-time high beyond its max buy level. Leadership in the Oil & Gas group (good L criteria) has been helping many energy shares continue to climb. An upward trendline can be considered support which coincides nicely with prior chart highs in the $78 area, where deterioration leading to a violation would trigger an early sell signal. Featured in the 5/21/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here) after it gapped up and hit a new all-time high with a considerable gain on above average volume, breaking out from a 7-month base. High-ranked firm in the strong Oil & Gas Machinery/Equipment group. Good annual and quarterly earnings growth history (good C & A criteria), however decelerating sales and earnings are a concern.

Y - Gain today while leadership in the Oil & Gas group (good L criteria) has recently been helping many energy-related shares continue to climb. It negatively reversed on 5/21/08, and deterioration under its pivot point has raised concerns as it fell back toward its 50 DMA line. It was featured in the 5/21/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here). Multiple gains on above average volume in February helped it blast above its January highs, rising from a 6-week cup without a handle. High-ranked leader in the Oil & Gas - Machinery/Equip group (good L criteria) with a good annual and quarterly earnings growth history. Small supply of shares (the S criteria) could contribute to greater volatility. Good quarterly and annual earnings increases meet the C & A criteria, however sales revenues increases have been below the +25% guideline.

Y - Pulled back under its pivot point. Considerable gains on 6/04/08 with volume nearly triple its average daily volume helped it clear its pivot point for a new 52-week high. The technically strong action is typically considered a buy signal, however until the 2/5/08 follow-through day of solid gains on higher volume, the M criteria argued against all new buys. It has a good annual earnings history (good A criteria) and, after 4 lackluster reports, in the 2 latest quarterly comparisons (the C criteria) the company showed much stronger sales revenues and earnings increases. Last covered in detail in the 5/2/06 CANSLIM.net After Market Update (read here) as it was being dropped from the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks list.

Y - Second consecutive considerable gain lacking volume as it hits new all-time highs today. New pivot point and max buy levels were noted, however any breakout gain needs at least +50% above average volume to meet the guidelines for a proper technical buy signal. This high-ranked leader has no overhead supply to hinder its progress. Gains in recent weeks have lacked volume conviction indicative of institutional (the I criteria) accumulation, however it found support near its 50 DMA line when it got hit on 5/01/08 after reporting quarterly results. Previously, strong confirming gains on 4/15/08 and 4/16/08 triggered a new technical buy signal as it rose above its pivot point on more than double its average volume. Featured in yellow at $37.66 in the 4/15/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here). First featured at $31.30 in the 9/19/07 in the CANSLIM.net Mid-Day Breakouts Report (read here).

Pulling back after a considerable gain on 6/05/08 for new all-time highs with twice its average volume helped it rise above its pivot point from a 6 month base. Found support when pulling back recently to its 50 DMA line. Earnings have been above the +25% guideline in 3 of its past 4 quarterly comparisons and it has a good annual earnings history (good C & A criteria). Lackluster sales revenues increases under the +25% guideline are some concern.

Y - Gapped down today, pulling back toward its pivot point with a loss on near average volume. No resistance remains due to overhead supply and its up/down volume ratio of 1.5 is bullish. Just featured again in yellow in the June 2008 issue of CANSLIM.net News (see here). Deterioration under $46 would technically negate the latest breakout and raise concerns. Recently featured in the 5/29/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here) when hitting new all-time highs above what may be called a high handle after pulling back and bouncing at support of prior chart highs in the $42 area. Its May breakout lacked great volume conviction, however it fully recovered since, based on weak technical action, it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list 1/11/2008. High ranks and strong earnings history (good C and A criteria). Increasing ownership by top-rated funds, rising from 153 in Dec '06 to 237 in Mar '08, satisfies the I criteria.

Considerable gain on 6/05/08 with heavy volume helped it technically break out to all-time highs following a previously noted 7-month cup-shaped pattern. It has high ranks and apparently good sales revenues and earnings growth, however some concerns are raised by either re-statements or quarterly pre-tax, non-recurring items included in every quarterly financial report in recent years.
