The major averages finished little changed on Monday's session. The volume totals were still below average yet slightly higher than the prior session's volume totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was evenly mixed with a slightly negative bias on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. 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 a total of 75 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs easily outnumbered new lows on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. There were gains for 10 of the 19 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

Stocks were choppy throughout the session as investors were leery to make moves ahead of the New Year. A batch of weaker-than-expected economic data also caused trepidation.

Sector action on the S&P was mixed. Energy stocks were the worst performers as crude oil prices declined more than -1% to $99.27 per barrel. Shares of Exxon Mobile Corp (XOM -1.18%) were down. On the earnings front, Cal-Maine Foods Inc (CALM +0.20%) inched higher after the company posted quarterly results ahead of analysts' estimates. In other news, Cooper Tire & Rubber Co (CTB +5.4%) rallied on reports that the company terminated its takeover agreement with Apollo Tyres.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were higher along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was up 1/4 of a point to yield 2.98% and the 30-year bond gained 5/8 of a point to yield 3.90%. 

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched at its all-time high, up +25.95% year-to-date.

PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX +0.44%) hit a new 2013 high, trading up for a 6th consecutive session.

Herbalife Ltd (HLF -$0.43 or -0.55% to $77.85) is perched -4.7% off its 52-week high today. Few investors have headed for the exits lately as volume totals have been cooling following a streak of gains when rallying with no resistance due to overhead supply. Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 11/22/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Perched Near Highs Following Rebound", after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 10/02/13 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). The subsequent breakout into new high territory with great volume conviction signaled the beginning of what may be a meaningful and sustained advance in price. Its color code was changed to yellow after quietly dipping below its "max buy" level. Disciplined investors always limit losses by selling if any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

It reported earnings +44% on +19% sales for the quarter ended Sep 30, 2013 versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive quarterly earnings increase above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) have been strong after a downturn in FY '09. Leadership from other Cosmetics/ Personal Care firms is reassuring concerning the L criteria, however the Group Relative Strength Rating is still a rather mediocre 72 rating. Ownership by top-rated funds has recently been on the rise, increasing from 607 in Jun '13 to 620 in Sep '13, a reassuring sign concerning institutional interest (I criteria). Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.
G - Previously featured in past reports as yellow but may no longer be buyable under the guidelines.
