Despite Friday's decline, the major averaged finished the week higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up +0.5%, the S&P 500 Index rose +1.3% while the Nasdaq Composite Index gained +1.4%.  Volume totals were higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, inflated by options expirations. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by nearly an 11-4 margin on the NYSE and by a 7-6 margin on the Nasdaq exchange.  There were 70 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the total of 107 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs contracted yet still solidly outnumbered new lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 11 of the 21 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

The major averages finished firmly in negative territory amid concerns when the Fed may start tapering its asset purchases. In an interview this morning, St. Louis President James Bullard indicated the central bank could start trimming its bond buying program at the October policy meeting. Renewed debate in Washington DC over the federal spending also provided a headwind to the market.

On the earnings front, Darden Restaurants (DRI -7.14%) fell after quarterly results missed analyst projections. All 10 sectors in the S&P 500 were down on the session. Telecom and utilities were the worst performing groups as Verizon Communications Inc (VZ -1.50%) and Duke Energy Corp (DUK -0.84%) fell. Materials also weighed on the market with Newmont Mining (NEM -5.74%) as the price of gold declined. Shares of Netflix Inc (NFLX +2.73%) were a notable gainer, rising on reports the company's Canadian subscribers may have doubled. Cintas Corp (CTAS +0.73%) edged higher after the uniform maker increased its annual forecast. Health care was a notable gainer with Celgene Corp (CELG +0.91%) hitting a new 52-week high with a volume-driven gain.

Treasuries were higher with the 10-year note rising 5/32 to yield 2.73%.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average touched a new all-time high this week, but stocks retreated on Friday with heavy volume.

Financial shares were mixed as the Bank Index ($BKX -0.31%) edged lower while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.35%) posted a comparable gain. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -6.08%) was a standout decliner, surrendering a substantial part of the week's earlier gains. Energy-related shares fell as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.55%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.66%) lost ground.  There were unanimous small losses in the tech sector indexes as the Networking Index ($NWX -0.66%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.93%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.59%), and the Internet Index ($IIX -0.28%) fell.  The Retail Index ($RLX -0.60%) and the Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.38%) also created a drag on the market.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -0.31%) encountered resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Celgene Corp (CELG  +$1.27 or +0.86% to $149.79) hit a new 52-week high today with volume more than 2 times average. It traded above the new pivot point cited based on its 8/01/13 high plus 10 cents, but it encountered some distributional pressure and ended the session below is pivot point.  Additional volume-driven gains and a strong finish above the pivot point may help to clinch a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. It formed an orderly base-on-base type pattern. Its 50-day-moving average (DMA) line defines important chart support. CELG was last shown in this FSU section on 8/21/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating Above Prior Highs and 50-Day Moving Average".  The high-ranked Medical - Biomed/Biotech firm reported earnings +25% on +17% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter versus the year ago period, maintaining its strong earnings history (C and A criteria).

The stock's Accumulation/ Distribution Rating is a B+. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased bullish indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,623 in Dec '11 to 1,983 in Jun '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria.  However, the company is already well-known by the institutional crowd, and that means that very few are likely to just be discovering it.
