Stocks toggled between gains and losses throughout Friday's session as lingering tensions between Russia and the Ukraine kept investors sidelined. The latest employment data was largely positive. Specifically, non-farm payrolls grew by 175,000 in February, more than the anticipated gain of 150,000 jobs. Despite the gain, the unemployment rate unexpectedly ticked higher to 6.7%.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is perched near its 2014 high.

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.44%) and Bank Index ($BKX +0.93%) both posted gains and were a positive influence on the major averages. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.43%) fell hard as it gave back part of the considerable +22.58% gain it had tallied thus far in 2014. The Networking Index ($NWX -0.49%) posted a modest loss and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.11%) edged lower while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.20%) and the Retail Index ($RLX +0.25%) posted small gains. Energy-related shares were directionless with the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.01%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.14%) little changed.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX +0.93%) touched a new 2014 high. Healthy action in financial stocks is encourgaing news which bodes well for the broader market outlook. Rarely do the major averages suffer bad downdrafts while financial stocks are acting strong.

Iconix Brand Group Inc (ICON -$0.45 or -1.08% to $41.05) encountered distributional pressure and suffered a loss with above average volume on Friday after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/02/13 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here).  The weekly chart shows it was the 6th consecutive weekly gain, and it has the look of a riskier "late-stage" base. Disciplined investors always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price. It is consolidating above prior highs in the $40 area defining near-term support.

Technically, on 3/04/14 it gapped up for a volume-driven breakout to new high territory. No resistance remains due to overhead supply so it is free to rally unhindered by anxious sellers hoping to break even on a losing trade. The high-ranked Apparel - Clothing Manufacturing firm reported earnings +44% on +24% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter, marking its 3rd consecutive quarterly earnings increase above the +25% guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been steady. The 12/13/13 mid-day report last noted - "Patient investors may watch for a new base of secondary buy point to possibly develop and be noted in the weeks ahead."

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 333 in Mar '13 to 359 in Dec '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
