For the week, the Dow was up +0.9% the S&P 500 rose +1% and the NASDAQ advanced +1.2%. The indices finished lower on Friday's session. The volume was reported near the prior session total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 9-7 margin on the NYSE, but the mix was even on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 32 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 total of 41 stocks on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE while new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 2 of the 6 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page which ended the session with a gain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average managed a new all-time high close on Wednesday's session. However, the gain was not considered enough for the Market (M criteria) to earn the label of returning to a "confirmed uptrend" per the newspaper. Therefore, confirming gains would be a welcome reassurance to still be watching for, and then any new buying efforts should be selective and only focused in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system. Keep in mind that any sustained and meaningful market advance requires leadership - a healthy crop of stocks hitting new 52-week highs.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is consolidating -0.8% off its all-time high.

Financial shares were a positive influence on the major averages as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.47%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.51%) rose and the Retail Index ($RLX +0.28%) eked out a small gain. Commodity-linked groups rose as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.21%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.74%) outpaced the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.24%). The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.28%) eked out a small gain while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.47%) and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.42%) both edged lower.

Most Recent Note - 4/30/2014 12:43:10 PM Y - Highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/04/14 high in the 4/29/14 mid-day report (read here). The plastics maker separated its ethylene assets into a tax-advantaged partnership in which it plans to sell shares to the public. Holding its ground today, it gapped up and tallied a considerable gain with more than 4 times average volume for a new 52-week high on the prior session triggering a technical buy signal while rallying from a "double bottom" base. Quarterly earnings increases have been above the +25% minimum (C criteria) in comparisons through Dec '13. Keep in mind that 3 out of 4 stocks tend to move in the same direction of the major averages (M criteria) and confirming gains from the major averages are still needed as reassurance the broader market is strong.
