PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched -0.4% off its record high, quietly pausing after 6 consecutive gains.

The major averages (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend and there remains a healthy level of market leadership (a large number of high-ranked stocks hitting new highs). New buying efforts should only be made in stocks meeting all fundamental and technical criteria of the fact-based investment system. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.

The major averages traded in a narrow range heading into the long Memorial Holiday weekend as investors assessed updates on the U.S. economy. Before the open, first-quarter GDP was up to a 1.2% annualized rate from a preliminary 0.7% reading. A gauge of manufacturing activity showed durable goods orders fell in 0.7% in April compared to a 2.3% increase in March. The University of Michigan adjusted down to 97.1 from 97.7.

Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors advanced led by Consumer stocks. Costco (COST +1.79%) rose after posting positive earnings results. Beauty products retailer Ulta Salon (ULTA +3.2%) gapped up for a new high but ended near the session low as its profits topped consensus estimates. Real Estate and Heath Care the worst performing groups on the session. Mall operator General Growth Properties (GGP -4.39%) fell and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ -0.48%) slipped.

Treasuries were up modestly Friday. Benchmark 10-year notes rose 2/32 to yield 2.25% and the 30-year bond added 5/32 to 2.91%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude added 1.8% to $49.78/barrel. COMEX gold increased 0.9% to $1267.10/ounce.

Biotech Index Fell; Semiconductor and Networking Indexes Edged Higher
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

On Friday the Retail Index ($RLX +0.00%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.04%) both finished flat and the Bank Index ($BKX -0.26%) edged lower. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.38%) and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.46%) both ended modestly higher, but the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.12%) finished in the red. The Gold & Silver index ($XAU +0.69%) posted a modest gain as it outpaced the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.02%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.29%).

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -0.26%) is still meeting resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Improvement would help, but subsequent losses below the prior lows would badly hurt the broader market outlook, because the financial groups have proven to be reliable leading indicators.

Rising From Advanced Base With Above Average Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Berry Plastics Group Inc (BERY +$0.49 or +0.84% to $58.60) was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 5/10/17 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It had +32% above average volume behind its gain for a new high while rising from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base. However, a proper technical breakout should have a minimum of +40% above average volume

It has rebounded and rallied to new highs after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 3/24/17. It reported earnings +36% on +12% sales revenues for the Mar '17 quarter, and fundamentals remain strong. Recently it reported earnings +43% on -7% sales revenues for the Dec '16 quarter. The lower sales revenues are noted as a cause for concern, especially after the 4 prior quarterly comparisons showed strong sales revenues increases in the +32-35% range.

BERY was last shown in this FSU section on 3/20/17 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Sputtering Below its 50-Day Moving Average ". The high-ranked Containers/Packaging firm was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 10/25/16 high plus 10 cents in the 11/30/16 mid-day report (read here). There was a "breakaway gap" on 11/29/16 powering to new 52-week highs with considerable volume-driven gains.

Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 473 in Dec '15 to 638 in Mar '17, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It currently has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship rating of C.
