The Dow was up for the 18th consecutive Tuesday as it rose 123 points to 15,215, a new all-time high. The S&P 500 Index gained over 16 points to close at a new all-time high of 1,650. The Nasdaq Composite Index finished at its best level since October 2000 as it advanced 23 points to 3,462.

The biggest jump since October 2010 in a gauge of small business optimism set the positive tone. Signs of limited inflation pressure provided additional support after import prices declined in April by the most since December 2012.

Virtually every sector finished in positive territory. Financials were the best performing group as Bank of America Corp (BAC +2.77%) and Citigroup Inc (C +2.39%) gained ground. Energy erased Monday's losses and also helped pace the advance as Chevron Corp (CVX +1.75%) and ConocoPhillips (COP +1.71%) rose. Technology stocks lagged behind as index heavyweight Apple Inc (AAPL -2.39%) fell following a report that its global market share in smartphones shrank in the first quarter.

The tail end of earnings season will also garner attention. Agilent Technologies (A +2.16%) posted its profit tally after the close, and Wednesday's docket includes notable reports from Deere (DE +1.29%), Macy's (M +1.09%) and Cisco Systems (CSCO).

In fixed-income, Treasuries were down for the fourth straight session. The 10-year note fell 12/32 to yield 1.97% and the 30-year bond lost a full point to yield 3.18%.  

The market (M criteria) saw an expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) that reassured investors a confirmed uptrend is at hand. Watch for new stocks featured in the CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report. Action-worthy leaders are covered on an ongoing basis with the latest notes and additional resource links included on the Featured Stocks Page.

PICTURED: The S&P Small Cap 600 Index is at an all-time high and it has rallied +16.27% year-to-date after technically breaking out at the start of the year.  The indices' rally to new highs confirmed the market's uptrend which means odds are favorable for new buying efforts in stocks meeting all of the fact-based investment system's key criteria.

The positive influence of financial shares continued to boost the major averages as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +2.22%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +1.80%) were among Tuesday's standout gainers. The Retail Index ($RLX +1.20%) posted a solid gain and the tech sector saw unanimous gains from the Networking Index ($NWX +0.81%), Internet Index ($IIX +0.85%), and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.44%) while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.94%) was a standout gainer. There were also gains from energy-related issues as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.68%) outpaced the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.41%), and the Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.53%) also edged higher.  Meanwhile, the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.11%) was a clear laggard as the classic "safe haven" group finished in the red.

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX +1.20%) extended its winning streak to 9 straight gains for new highs. Regular readers may recall the strength in the Retail Index has been noted as an encouraging sign in the past, as the American consumer's spending accounts for approximately 2/3 of the nation's economic activity.

Roadrunner Transportation Systems Inc (RRTS  $+0.73 or +2.83% to 26.50) finished strong today with a gain on average volume for another new all-time high, getting more extended from its latest base. Prior highs in the $23 area define support to watch above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Fundamentally, concerns have been raised by its report of earnings +16% on +27% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 versus the year ago period, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Investors who may own it might choose to give the stock the benefit of the doubt unless it flashes any weak action, however a disciplined investor following the fact-based system would usually avoid making new buying efforts in any companies failing to solidly satisfy the fundamental guidelines.

Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 4/23/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, " Groups' Weakness and Slump Under 50 Day Moving Average Line Hurt Stance " after its violation of the recent low and slump below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line triggered technical sell signals. It was then noted - "Decelerating sales revenues and earnings increases in sequential quarterly comparisons through the Dec '12 quarter are noted as a concern. It is more ideal when a company shows accelerating sales revenues and earnings increases."  It showed resilience near its 50 DMA line, then started the month of May with a spike higher with heavy volume behind big gains.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 168 in Jun '12 to 197 in Mar '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.  The company completed a new Public Offering on 12/06/12 and, technically, it broke out above previously stubborn resistance in $19 area with volume-driven gains in January. Regular readers may recall that, based on weak action, RRTS had been dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/18/12 following a choppy period.
