Even Leaders Back Off; Some Nicely, Some Not

Consider the vast array of sectors represented in Your Weekly Review: software, hardware, medical, retailandfinance. They all have one thing in common: They all have backed off from their highs. The difference, of course, lies in how they retreated. Some showed heavy volume as they sliced
through key supports. Others are holding up well in what is, after all, a market correction.

Athenahealth ATHN, a maker of software targeting back-office operations at physicians’ practices, has dropped 15%from its Sept. 19 high.
The stock’s 10-week moving average has so far provided support, but last week’s 7% decline drew uncomfortably high volume. Cerner CERN, a rival of Athena health’s, is threatening to log a downside reversal this week. As it is, Cerner has seen an 8%gain whittled down to 1%. On the other hand, Cerner stands just 5% off its 52-week high.

Credit card giants MasterCard MA and Visa V also are testing their 10-week lines. Such tests, if they occur in soft trade, can be attractive buy points in a healthy market — but not in a correction. Discount retailer Dollar General DG is consolidating tightly, just 4% off its high. PriceSmart PSMT, the Caribbean and Central America’s largest warehouse-style retailer, reversed lower last week. Its retreat continues this week with a test of the 10-week line in slightly above-average volume. PriceSmart stands 17% below its 52-week high.

But Family Dollar Stores FDO, another discounter, is breaching its 50-and 200-day lines in fast trade. Sportswear maker Under Armour’s UA test of its 10-week line appears as part of a sloppy basing try. Many leaders — and even more ex leaders— are diving below their key supports. Among these you’ll find Green Mountain Coffee Roasters GMCR, which is falling after a failed breakout from a late-stage base. Aerospace issue TransDigm
Group’s TDG losses threaten to unravel its recent basing attempt.

Closing for this month and quarter.

Dow 10913.38 -240.60 -2.16%
Nasdaq 2415.40 -65.36 -2.63%
S&P500 1131.42 -28.98 -2.50%

The Big Picture. Stocks Slammed, But Volume Is Mixed

Stock indexes stumbled Friday, closing out September with their fifth straight monthly loss.

The Nasdaq and NYSE composite each dropped 2.6%, while the S&P 500 sliced off 2.5%.

Volume was up on the NYSE and down on the Nasdaq as volatile trading continued.

Among leading stocks, virtually none rose in heavy volume, while the losers list was short, thanks at least in part to fewer stocks still considered leaders.

Friday's losses were broad. Declining issues led advancers by a roughly 7-to-2 ratio on both major exchanges. New lows led new highs on the Nasdaq by 169 to 3.

Meanwhile, the Economic Cycle Research Institute added to the gloom. The institute said the U.S. economy is tipping into a recession and "there's nothing that policymakers can do to head it off."

The last recession began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. ECRI noted in January 2008 that a downturn had begun and could turn into a recession. ECRI made its recession call in March 2008.

While such news had to discourage the bulls, predictions aren't necessarily useful to investors, even if they prove correct.

Here's why: Even in a recession, there are tradable rallies. That's why investors should stay focused on the price and volume action of the main indexes themselves.

The market will tell you when to get in and out of the market.

For example, the market flashed a follow-through day on March 20, 2008, which led to a 13% gain in the Nasdaq over two months.

During that period, breakouts and gains among top-rated stocks included natural gas play Southwestern Energy (SWN), up 39% in less than two months; oil and gas explorer Petrohawk Energy, up 183% in less than three months; oil-equipment stock Weatherford International (WFT), up 37% in three months; oil-equipment company Chart Industries (GTLS), up 58% in four months; and railroad operator CSX (CSX), up 32% in two months.

You don't want to miss those kinds of gains among top stocks.

So, if the market delivers a follow-through, it's not wise to sit on the sidelines simply because you are convinced a recession is under way.

The market follows the rules of the market, not the rules of economists, politicians or anybody else with an opinion.

For the week, the market was mixed. The Dow rose 1.3%, and the NYSE composite added 0.3%. But the Nasdaq dropped 2.7%, while the S&P 500 eased 0.4%. All closed near the week's lows.

Losses were sharp in other areas. The iPath Dow Jones UBS Copper ETN (JJC), an exchange traded fund that reflects the price of copper, slid 6% for the week. The Philadelphia semiconductor index shed 5.9%. And SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), an ETF that reflects the price of bullion, fell 1.1% — its fourth straight weekly loss after marking a high.

Another good slide coming for KLSE on Monday

silent?

Still going strong.. riding this "bear" market. We're official now.
Let see how well the bears can take this down.

I'm gotta cautious here.. lots of bulls now are planning for major assault because we're oversold.

It needs to go back up a little for more bear support but if we dive straight again to 1050, the bounce will be equally strong.

Bulls back in vengeance

Luckily i have my trailing stops ready.

Now lets wait for another lower high

Yes indeed. It was right out of the gate, we dive and short covering began. Had to cover all my 1st shorts batch and during the 2nd wave up, all shorts are buried. Once that 1101 line was broken at the last hour, it's a buy buy buy.

The FT times cooked up stories about possible bail out plan by Euro. All BS!

The market saw the oversold condition, one big whosh to the bottom to shake off the longs, and off it goes.

Got to play the long side now for a few days here.

Financial stocks bleeding like there's no tomorrow.

Should we go in right now? Price are damn tempting...

I'm staying away from financials eventho they're pretty attractive.

Probably u are right as financial stocks are weight down due to uncertainty in US and EU debts which may have impact on overall financial company.

Couple of weeks ago when LVS touching $50.27, I was queing my counter at $50.30 but the deal never been done and right now it going back to $40 level.

Moral of the story, sell at market price when we intended to sell for the profits, as few cents difference can causing we lose 100x than that amount.

I'm on my 3rd rotation for LVS now (price range:36-50). Added more at $36.25-$36.50 area yesterday.
This time, I've slightly lowered my high price target to 48-49 area. It may take 3-4 weeks or more to get there, hopefully before they report earnings. Then, sell into earnings.

We're now moving north again. Buy dips on this second day of bounce but keep those trailing stops in place to protect profits.

Let's ride this bear market rally.

Good luck to all!
