Investors continued to weigh concerns that the Federal Reserve could be considering paring back its bond purchasing program. On the economic front, durable goods orders for April topped expectations but are had little positive effect on equities.

Nine of the 10 sectors on the S&P finished lower, led by declines in utility stocks. Duke Energy Corp (DUK -1.26%) led the space lower. Retailers showed weakness following some disappointing corporate earnings reports. Sears Holdings Corp (SHLD -13.62%) and Abercrombie & Fitch Co (ANF -8.00%) fell hard after posting results below analysts' expectations. Williams-Sonoma Inc (WSM -2.05%) and Salesforce.com Inc (CRM -5.34%) also fell following their quarterly profit tallies.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were higher along the curve with the benchmark 10-year note up 1/16 of a point to yield 2.01%.

The market (M criteria) uptrend has lifted the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index to new record highs. 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. Action-worthy leaders best matching the winning models are covered on an ongoing basis on the Featured Stocks Page - including our Certified experts' latest notes and links to additional resources including detailed analysis with annotated graphs.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index broke a 4-week winning streak with its -1.1% weekly loss.

Financial shares were mixed on Friday as the Bank Index ($BKX +0.33%) edged higher and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.31%) edged lower. Energy-related shares quietly ended lower as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.16%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.15%) finished with tiny losses. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.13%), Internet Index ($IIX -0.16%), and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.05%) had a slightly negative bias while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.56%) was a standout gainer in the tech sector. The Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.52%) and defensive groups fell hardest as the Healthcare Index ($HMO -1.29%) and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.25%) lagged.

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX -0.13%) is consolidating well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. 

Proto Labs Inc (PRLB +$0.53 or +0.99% to $53.87) tallied small gains with very light volume after a damaging loss with above average volume led to a retreat below its pivot point. It remains above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, however its close below its old high close ($52.82 on 2/13/13) on Wednesday completely negated its technical breakout as it slumped back into its prior base. It was last shown in this FSU section with an annotated graph on 5/03/13 under the headline, "Volume +47% Above Average Behind Gain for New Highs", after highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here). The previously cited pivot point (based on its 2/13/13 high) still was considered a very important threshold as it hit a new 52-week high with a solid gain backed by +47% above average volume, sufficient to clinch a technical buy signal.  However, subsequent gains lacked volume conviction, and then distributional action began taking its toll.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 131 in Jun '12 to 204 in Mar '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of only 18.9 million shares (S criteria) in the publicly traded float is ideal, yet it can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.  Its Accumulation/ Distribution Rating of D- was noted as a concern after losses with above average volume following its earlier breakout attempt which failed. It recently reported earnings +46% on +24% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter, continuing its strong growth trend satisfying the C criteria. The high-ranked Electronic - Parts firm may likely find support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and continue rallying, however disciplined investors always limit losses by selling if any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price.
