PICTURED: The Dow increased 19 points to 17,573 and closed at a fresh record high.

The S&P 500 rose less than a point to 2,031, a new record high. The NASDAQ Composite fell 6 points to 4,632.

Stocks spent the day toggling between gains and losses as the monthly jobs report fell short of expectations. Non-farm payrolls rose by a less than anticipated 214,000 in October, but it was the ninth straight month that more than 200,000 jobs were added. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate edged down to a six-year low of 5.8% even as more Americans entered the labor force.

Seven of the 10 sectors in the S&P 500 rose. Energy and materials advanced as WTI crude rebounded while gold posted its biggest gain since June. Schlumberger (SLB +1.6%) and Freeport-McMoRan (FCX +2.4%) rose. Utilities also gained ground led by PG&E Corp's (PCG +1.9%) Health care and consumer discretionary weighed on the market. Humana (HUM -6.4%) fell after posting a disappointing full-year forecast. Walt Disney (DIS -2.3%) fell as the company's media revenue fell short of expectations.

Treasuries rose for the first time in three sessions. The 10-year note gained 23/32 to yield 2.30%. 

Large gains on 10/21/14 backed by higher volume totals while leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) expanded met the definition of a "follow-through day" confirming a new uptrend for the market (M criteria). The S&P 500 Index, Nasdaq Composite Index, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average have collectively rebounded above their respective 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines, technically putting the market in a healthier stance.

The Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.28%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.90%) dragged the tech sector lower while the Networking Index ($NWX +1.24%) rose. The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.71%) outpaced the Bank Index ($BKX -0.14%) to the downside while the Retail Index ($RLX +0.40%) was a positive influence on the major averages. Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.89%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.88%) rose.  The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +7.42%) was a standout gainer for a 2nd consecutive session as it bounced back from multi-year lows.

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX +0.40%) recently rebounded near its 2014 highs.

Illumina Inc (ILMN +$5.27 or +2.94% to $184.82) has recently endured mild distributional pressure, but recent losses were on below average volume. Its color code was changed to yellow after dipping below its "max buy" level. Prior highs near $182 define initial support to watch on pullbacks. Disciplined investors always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price. 

It was last shown in this FSU section on 10/22/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Breakout Cleared 'Double Bottom' Base Pattern", after highlighted in the earlier mid-day report (read here). The pivot point cited was based on its 9/04/14 high in a "double bottom" base pattern. Considerable volume-driven gains added to its winning streak and triggered a technical buy signal. This Medical - Research Equipment/Services firm reported earnings +71% on +35% sales revenues for the Sep '14 quarter, its 2nd consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Sequential quarterly comparisons show encouraging sales revenues and earnings acceleration.

Its current Relative Strength (RS) rank of 94 is well above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Historic examples of the market's biggest winners typically showed their relative strength lines (the jagged blue line) usually spiked to new highs ahead of, or while the stock was making new highs. In this case, however, its RS line peaked a bit higher in February of 2014. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth history has improved steadily since a downturn in FY '09. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 877 in Dec '13 to 991 in Sep '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.
G - Previously featured in past reports as yellow but may no longer be buyable under the guidelines.
