PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.90%) fell on Friday, yet it has surged into new high territory in a reassuring manner, as financials are important "leading indicators" for the broader market.

Its Accumulation/Distribution Rating has improved from a D to a B- since last shown in this FSU section on 8/28/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Quietly Perched Within Striking Distance of 52-Week High". Its streak of gains and rebound above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line helped its outlook improve after it had sputtered since highlighted in yellow in the 6/20/14 mid-day report (read here) with a pivot point based on its 2/26/14 high plus 10 cents.

The Medical - Generic Drugs industry group currently has a 77 Group Relative Strength Rating, up from a 66 when shown on 8/28/14. Leadership from other issues in the group is also a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. It reported earnings +70% on +34% sales revenues for the Jun '14 quarter, and its strong record satisfies the C criteria. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has also been strong. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares has generally been on the rise, up from 1,219 in Sep '13 to 1,564 in Jun  '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.
