The Dow climbed 42 points to close at a record level of 16,221. The S&P 500 hit a new all-time high, rising 9 points to 1,818. The NASDAQ rallied 47 points to end the week at 4,104. The major averages extended their weekly gains after a report showed the economy grew at a faster pace than previously estimated. Third quarter GDP was revised higher to 4.1%, which is the best level since the final three months of 2011.

Technology helped pace the gains Friday as Red Hat Inc (RHT +14.49%) surged after the company topped earnings estimates and raised its full-year forecast. Shares of Textron Inc (TXT +14.49%) surged following reports the maker of Cessna planes was close to a deal to acquire aircraft manufacturer Beechcraft. The utilities group also was one of the best performing sectors as NiSource Inc (NI +4.32%) and NextEra Energy Inc (NEE +1.30%) rose. Telecommunication stocks lagged behind as CenturyLink Inc (CTL -1.02%) fell.

Treasuries were higher at the long end of the yield curve. The 10-year note rose 11/32 to yield 2.89%. The price of the 30-year bond was up a point and 16/32 to yield 3.82%.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index rallied to a new 2013 high, up +35.94% year-to-date.

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.75%) was a positive influence on the major averages while the Bank Index ($BKX +0.44%) and Retail Index ($RLX +0.26%) posted smaller gains.  The Networking Index ($NWX +1.39%) and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.63%) led the tech sector higher while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.83%) posted a smaller gain. The Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.97%) outpaced the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.23%) as energy-related shares rose.  The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.02%) finished flat.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX +0.44%) hit new 2013 highs.

Stratasys Inc (SSYS +$3.06 or +2.49% to $125.87) posted a solid gain with above average volume. It recently has been consolidating above support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. More damaging losses would raise greater concerns and trigger worrisome technical sell signals. It remains noted with caution - "Reported earnings +13% on +153% sales revenues, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) raising fundamental concerns." While the fact-based system suggests that any new buying efforts in stocks should be based upon a combination of both fundamental and technical characteristics, sell decisions should be based upon only technical action and not due only to a fundamental disappointment which develops.  Therefore, patient investors may give it an opportunity to possibly produce more climactic gains while being watching for technical sell signals.

SSYS was last shown in this FSU section on 11/18/13 with annotated daily and weekly graphs under the headline, "Rallying For New Highs Despite Fundamental Flaw Raising Concern", getting extended from a sound base. It completed a new Public Offering on 9/13/13. When it proposed a new Public Offering on 9/09/13 while perched near all-time highs it was noted - "Such offerings can often be a short-term hindrance to upward price progress, however underwriters often help companies attract greater institutional ownership interest in the process." Ownership by top-rated funds rose from 246 in Sep '12 to 351 in Sep '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria (see annotated weekly graph below). However, its Return-on-Equity is now at 4%, below the 17% minimum guideline.

Announced an offering of more than 27 Million new shares and a total of nearly 43 Million existing shares are also being offered by certain selling stockholders including Mark Zuckerberg. Such offerings often are a short-term hindrance to price progress. As of the close of trading on December 20, 2013 the stock will become a component of the S&P 500 Index.
