Major Averages Finished 4th Consecutive Week With Gains

The major averages finished mixed on Friday but posted their fourth straight week of gains. The Dow and the S&P 500 trimmed their weekly advance to +0.4%, as the Dow fell 18 points to 17,634, and the S&P was up less than a point to 2,039. The NASDAQ gained 8 points to 4,688 and climbed +1.2% on the week. Friday's volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the Nasdaq exchange while advancers led decliners by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE. There were 42 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 98 stocks. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 8 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page. Disciplined investors know that new buying efforts may be made under the fact-based investment system only in stocks meeting all key criteria.

 

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index hit new 2014 highs with its 4th consecutive gain.

Stocks toggled between gains and losses as investors digested economic data. A measure of import prices declined the most in more than 25 months, while a gauge of retail sales for October surprisingly rose by +0.3%. The University of Michigan's consumer confidence survey increased for the third straight month to a seven-year high. Turning to monetary policy, regional president Jim Bullard said low inflation should not prevent the Fed from raising rates in 2015.

At the close six of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 advanced. Energy gained the most as the price of WTI crude on the NYMEX climbed +2.3% to $75.88 from a three-year low yesterday. Exxon Mobil (XOM +0.45%) rose. Baker Hughes (BHI +1.94%) rose after confirming it is in advanced talks to be purchased by Halliburton (HAL +2.40%). Health stocks were relative underperformers and Gilead (GILD -2.05%) fell.

Treasuries finished higher. The benchmark 10-year note climbed 6/32 to yield 2.32%.

Large gains on 10/21/14 backed by higher volume totals while leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) expanded met the definition of a "follow-through day" confirming a new uptrend for the market (M criteria). The S&P 500 Index, Nasdaq Composite Index, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average have collectively rebounded above their respective 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines, technically putting the market in a healthier stance.

Retail, Energy, Networking, Semiconductor, and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.46%) was a positive influence on the major averages. The Biotechnology Index ($BTK -2.28%) created a drag on the tech sector while the Networking Index ($NWX +1.57%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.90%) rose. The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.15%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -0.22%) both finished with small losses. Energy-related shares bounced back as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.71%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.00%) tallied gains. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +6.18%) was a standout gainer.

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.15%) is consolidating after rebounding from below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line to reach new 2014 highs.

Following Violation 50-Day Average Acted as Resistance

Facebook Inc (FB +$0.63 or +0.85% to $74.88) encountered resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line following a violation on 3 times average volume on 10/29/14 that raised concerns and triggered a technical sell signal. Recent gains have lacked volume conviction. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve.

The high-ranked Internet - Content firm was last shown in this FSU section on 10/29/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Gapped Down Following Latest Strong Earnings Report". The company reported earnings +59% on +59% sales revenues for the Sep '14 quarter but warned of rising costs. That marked its 6th consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings increasing well above the +25% minimum (C criteria). 

Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks more than +5% above their pivot point and always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is still an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. The high-ranked Internet - Content group leader has seen the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 1,116 in Dec '12 to 2,315 in Sep '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Members were previously warned - "Keep in mind that its large supply of 2.54 billion shares in the public float makes it an unlikely sprinter, especially as it is already well known by the institutional crowd and the general public."
