The S&P 500 climbed to an all-time high on Monday as Energy shares rallied and investors digested increased deal activity. NYMEX WTI crude advanced 3.9% to $47.49/barrel, amid renewed optimism that OPEC nations will agree to cut output at a meeting next week in Vienna.

Headwaters (HW +17.07%) rallied as the company agreed to be acquired by Australian construction firm Boral for $1.8 billion. Shares of Facebook (FB +4.06%) ended higher after the social media giant announced a stock buyback of up to $6 billion in the first quarter of 2017. In earnings, Tyson Foods (TSN -14.49%) fell as the meat-producer missed profit estimates and provided disappointing forward outlook.

Heavy Volume Behind Breakout Gain

Arista Networks Inc (ANET +$6.50 or +7.39% to $94.48) finished strong after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 2015 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Disciplined investors know that risk increases when chasing a stock more than +5% above its pivot point. While challenging its all-time high, today's gap up and big gain backed by +256% above average volume triggered a technical buy signal yet quickly lifted it beyond its "max buy" level noted.  Prior highs in the $87 may act as initial support on pullbacks, and patience may allow for accumulating shares without stretching too far beyond the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

ANET has shown strong and steady increases in quarterly sales revenues while earnings have routinely been well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) through the Sep '16 quarter. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong, however, its history is limited since its $43 IPO in June of 2014. 

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 360 in Dec '15 to 434 in Sep '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. 
The high-ranked Computer - Networking firm has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of C. Its small supply of 34.4 million shares (S criteria) in the public float may contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
