 CLOSING  MARKET COMMENTARY  
NYSE Indices Firm Up But Nasdaq Undercuts Recent Lows

On Monday the Nasdaq Composite Index undercut its May 23rd low, ending its latest rally attempt. Meanwhile, the NYSE indexes posted gains which can be considered Day 1 of a new rally attempt.  In general, stocks failed to rebound in any meaningful way after Friday's losses dealt the major averages their worst single-day declines in several months. Decliners outnumbered advancers on both major exchanges by about a 2-to-1 ratio. Volume totals reported were lower than the prior session on both major exchanges.  There were 34 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down considerably from the 66 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.

On Friday, the market got smacked after the unemployment rate and oil both surged. Right now it is of the utmost importance for growth investors to exercise patience while being protective of capital. The market remains in a correction, which reiterates the importance of playing strong defense until market conditions improve.

Crude oil fell -2.9% to $134.54 per barrel, pulling back after Friday's huge  +8.4% spike. The US dollar strengthened after hawkish Fed comments, which also played a role in crude's retreat. Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said the current price of oil is not supported by fundamentals, however OPEC has been expressing this view since before oil hit $100 per barrel.  

McDonald's Corp.(MCD +4.14%), the world's largest fast-food chain, jumped after it reported that sales in the US and Europe improved last month. This was encouraging especially since Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT +2.06%), the largest retailer, reported stronger sales last month. This raised hopes that the US consumer is staying active.

PICTURED: The NYSE Composite Index sank further below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines on Monday.

Financials Keep Falling While Energy Keeps Rallying

Financial stocks continued to create a drag on the market as the Bank ($BKX -3.23%) and Broker/Dealer ($XBD -2.33%) indexes were among Monday's worst laggards.  The Healthcare ($HMO -1.23%) group and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.35%) also closed lower. Technology and retail shares were mostly weak, however the Retail Index ($RLX -0.94%) and most tech indexes closed the session well above their intra-day lows.  The Networking ($NWX -0.84%) and Semiconductor ($SOX -0.84%) indexes suffered modest losses, however the Internet Index ($DOT +0.43%) eked out a small gain. Commodity-linked areas started strong, then pulled back for a quieter close as the Integrated Oil ($XOI +1.89%) and Oil Services ($OSX +2.57%) indexes still finished with solid gains and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.79%) closed modestly higher.

Natural Gas Services Firm Closes Strong After Breakout With Volume

A very important technical tool that savvy investors have learned to incorporate in their technical analysis is the 50-day moving average (DMA) line.  The 50 DMA line plays a pivotal role relative to a stock's price.  If the price of a stock is above its 50 DMA then odds are that its 50 DMA will act as formidable support.  Conversely, if the price is below its 50 DMA then the moving average acts as resistance.  Healthy stocks sometimes trade under their 50 DMA lines briefly, but usually a strong candidate will promptly bounce and repair a 50 DMA violation. When a stock has violated its 50 DMA line and then lingers beneath it, the stock's outlook gets worse and worse as it spends a greater period of time trading under that important short-term average line. Once the 50 DMA line starts sloping downward it should also be acknowledged that the stock has been struggling for a while, and it might be time to reduce exposure and look for places to put that money to work in stronger buy candidates.

Natural Gas Services Grp (NGS +$1.78 or +6.10% to $30.96) rose to a new high today with a considerable gain backed by very heavy volume, nearly two and a half times its average daily volume.  The oil and gas equipment firm was first featured on Wednesday, May 21, 2008 in the CANSLIM.net Mid Day Breakouts Report (read here) with the following note, "Y - A second consecutive gain on above average volume has it rallying to new 52-week highs today after a 4-week consolidation above its 50 DMA and prior chart highs in the $24 area. 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." 

NGS negatively reversed after its early gains on 5/21/08 prompted that day's appearance in yellow, and it closed that session under its pivot point, with the turnabout for a loss raising concerns. However, it stayed well above its 50 DMA and there was not great technical damage caused by its subsequent losses which came on lighter volume. Now that it has produced a solid gain above its pivot point the stock is clear of all resistance due to overhead supply.  In a bullish market environment, it would be more tempting to take action; however the market needs to produce a follow-through day and convincing leadership must return before disciplined investors can have the right reassurances that odds are in their favor.

Y - Positively reversed today, bouncing right at its 50 DMA line. Recently pulled back under its pivot point, raising concerns. During the past 4 weeks volume has been drying up while basing. 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).

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 - Positively reversed today after a gap down on 6/06/08, bouncing after pulling back under its pivot point. 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.

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.

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 - Gapped down today while falling with a considerable loss on heavy volume toward important chart support at its 50 DMA line and recent chart lows in the $172 area. 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 - Loss today on near average volume, violating support at its 50 DMA line and an upward trendline while also falling under its pivot point, raising concerns. 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 - Loss today has it sinking under its pivot point as well as its February 25, 2008 high close of $70.66, near support its 50 DMA line (now $68.60) where a violation would raise greater concerns. It blasted to a new high after a positive reversal on 4/29/08 following reporting earnings per share +33% and sales +48%. Color code was changed to yellow again on 5/01/08 with new pivot point and max buy levels noted. Stock was covered in the Featured Stock Update section of the 3/19/08 CANSLIM.net After Market Update (read here). Gapped up on 2/21/08 from a base-on-base type pattern after its latest strong earnings report. First featured in yellow at $45.50 in 4/24/2007 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day Breakouts Report (read here).

Y - Pulling back after its 6/06/08 gain lacking volume as it hits new all-time highs above the new pivot point and max buy levels which were noted. Breakout gains need at least +50% above average volume to meet the guideline 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.

Y - Considerable early loss today has it violating its 50 DMA line, raising concerns following its reversal after hitting a new all-time high on 6/05/08 as it encountered prompt resistance at prior chart highs in the $72 area (near its max buy level). Reported good earnings and raised guidance, however sales revenues increases have been lackluster. 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.

Y - Pulling back deeper below its pivot point, raising concerns. 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. 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 - Loss on heavy volume led to an early pullback near its 50 DMA line, and it has rebounded to the middle of its wide intra-day range. Negatively reversed Friday's early gains after hitting a new all-time high, pulling back near its pivot point. 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.

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.

Color code was changed to yellow based on the pullback toward support near its prior chart highs in the $40 area, however concerns were raised after it negated its breakout and fell below its pivot point.

See the Featured Stock Update section of the 6/04/08 CANSLIM.net After Market Update for analysis and an annotated graph (read here). Color code was changed to green since recent deterioration has pressured it from its highs. Signs of weakness, especially due to poor market conditions (the M criteria) before the 6/5/08 follow-through day, made it a less compelling buy candidate.

Gapped up on 5/15/08 and 5/16/08, rallying from support near its 50 DMA line and earlier chart highs that were a resistance level near $145, now approaching all-time highs. It has high ranks and a great earnings history. It found support near its 200 DMA line and rebounded impressively since, based on weak technical action, it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 1/17/08.

It is extended from its prior base after steadily rallying well above its max buy level in recent weeks. See the Featured Stock Update section of the 5/1/2008 CANSLIM.net After Market Update for analysis and an annotated graph (read here). Made good progress since it gapped up and was featured in the 4/16/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report rising from a "3-weeks tight" type of chart pattern (read here). Widespread strength in the Transportation - Rail group is a nice reassurance of leadership (good L criteria). Better than +25% earnings increases in the 2 latest quarters help satisfy the C criteria, however sales revenues growth rate remains below guidelines. It has a decent annual earnings history (good A criteria).

Reported impressive earnings news and gapped up for a considerable gain on heavy volume, blasting above the $37 area to new multi-year highs. It has a strong quarterly and annual earnings (C & A criteria) history, but its sales revenue growth rate has been below the +25% guideline. That suggests there is not extremely great demand for a new product or service (the N criteria), however its solid fundamentals and good leadership (the L criteria) from other Computer Software - Enterprise issues are nice reassurances.
