The Dow rallied 85 points to a new all-time high of 15,961. The S&P 500 hit a new record level, gaining 8 points to 1,798.  The major averages finished firmly in positive territory amid speculation of the Fed maintaining its stimulus measures. The market was also higher despite this morning’s economic data. Before the open, reports showed industrial production declined in October and activity in the New York region unexpectedly contracted this month. A separate report revealed wholesale inventories grew +0.4% in September.

All 10 sectors in the S&P 500 were higher with materials and energy the best performing groups. Peabody Energy Corp (BTU +1.93%) and Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM +2.2%) after Berkshire Hathaway disclosed it had taken a stake in the company. On the earnings front, Agilent Technologies Inc (A +8.69%) after the electronic testing equipment maker's quarterly profits beat consensus estimates. Retailer Nordstrom (JWN -0.99%) fell even after reporting earnings above projections.

Treasuries finished lower with the 10-year note declining 4/32 to yield 2.71%.

Market (M criteria) conditions are encouraging as the major averages have seen leadership (new highs) expand while the Dow and S&P 500 Index are both climbing into new all-time high territory.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX +0.27%) is rallying toward its 2013 high.

It reported earnings +33% on +34% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Concerns had been raised by its Mar '13 earnings report with only a +14% earnings increase, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) for buy candidates. A downturn in FY '07 and '08 earnings (A criteria) has been followed by a strong earnings rebound in recent years.  Return On Equity is currently reported at 37%, well above the 17% minimum guideline of the fact-based system.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 818 in Mar '12 in to 1,080 in Sep '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. The high-ranked Medical - Ethical Drugs firm's shares spiked higher in late May at around the time of M&A news that it would buy Bausch & Lomb for $8.7 billion. It completed Public Offering on 6/18/13. The upshot of Public Offerings is that when completed the end result is typically an increase in the total number of institutional owners. Institutional owners are often supportive of their existing positions and will even accumulate more shares when they consolidate near classic support levels like the 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines, if they are still believers in the company. If too many become pessimistic and decide to unload, this is what ends up sending the stocks slicing through support. 

Prior reports noted - "Investors are taught in the Certification to only buy stocks with a combination of both strong fundamentals and strong technical action, however stocks should be sold based on their technical action only. In this example, more bullish action rewarded patient investors still giving it the benefit of the doubt until any technical sell signals start adding up."
