Stocks finished higher on Tuesday. The Dow was up 23 points to 19121. The S&P 500 added 2 points to 2204 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 11 points to 5379. Volume totals on Tuesday were up the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers and decliners were evenly mixed on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. Leadership improved slightly as there were 66 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 61 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted but still solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.

Tiffany & Co (TIF +3.15%) rose as the luxury goods retailer posted better-than-expected quarterly profit. In Health Care, UnitedHealth Group (UNH +3.60%) rose after the insurer provided optimistic 2017 guidance. Shares of Mallinckrodt (MNK -9.10%) fell despite the company reporting double-digit sales growth of its key branded drugs. In the consumer space, Delphi Automotive (DLPH -4.34%) fell after being the subject of negative analyst commentary.

Treasuries advanced with the benchmark 10-year note up 4/32 to yield 2.32%. The 30-year bond was 17/32 higher to yield 2.94%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude retreated 3.9% to $45.23/barrel, ahead of tomorrow’s OPEC meeting in Vienna. COMEX gold lost 0.3% to $1187.30/ounce.

Volume-Backed Breakout Triggered New Technical Buy Signal

Patrick Industries Inc (PATK +$3.75 or +5.50% to $71.90) was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 7/28/16 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). The convincing gain for new highs today was backed by +106% above average volume triggering a new (or add-on) technical buy signal.

PATK
was last shown in this FSU section on 10/26/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Sputtering Below 50-Day Average Ahead of Earnings News". It foundsupport at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/27/16, and since then it stubbornly held its ground while rebounding impressively. It reported Sep '16 quarterly earnings +36% on +42% sales revenues, continuing its streak of quarterly comparisons steadily above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). A small downturn in FY '13 was a flaw previously noted in its annual earnings (A criteria) history.

It was first highlighted in yellow with pivot point based on its 4/28/16 high plus 10 cents in the 5/24/16 mid-day report (read here).

Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication that its shares were under slight accumulation over the past 50 days. The number of top-rated funds owning its share rose from 218 in Jun '15 to 307 in Sep '16, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of 14.3 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
