The major averages were little changed Friday as investors digested comments by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. In a speech at the Chicago Fed's conference Bernanke said the central bank continues to watch markets for signs of increased risk taking. Attention will now turn to the meeting of G-7 leaders in London as they discuss measures on improving global growth.

Consumer Discretionary was among the best performing sectors as shares of Priceline.com Inc (PCLN +3.78%) rose despite lowering its second-quarter outlook. The Gap Inc (GPS +5.62%) rallied after reporting a +7.0% increase in April same-store sales. Over in tech, Dell Inc (DELL +0.98%) rose on reports Carl Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management proposed an alternative bid to acquire the computer maker. Energy and materials were the worst performing sectors as a stronger dollar weighed on commodity prices and shares of Halliburton (HAL -0.39%) and Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc (FCX -0.21%) edged lower.

Treasuries were lower with the 10-year note falling 23/32 to yield 1.89%.

The market (M criteria) saw an expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) that reassured investors a confirmed uptrend is at hand. Watch for new stocks featured in the CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report. Action-worthy leaders are covered on an ongoing basis with the latest notes and additional resource links included on the Featured Stocks Page.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched at its all-time high and finished the week above the psychologically important 15,000. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines near-term support to watch on pullbacks. The indices' rally to new highs confirmed the market's uptrend which means odds are favorable for new buying efforts in stocks meeting all of the fact-based investment system's key criteria.

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.99%) posted a solid gain and financial shares were a positive influence on the major averages Friday as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.66%) outpaced the Bank Index ($BKX +0.34%). The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +3.37%) led the tech sector higher while the Internet Index ($IIX +1.16%), Networking Index ($NWX +0.80%), and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.89%) ended unanimously higher.  The Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.52%) also posted a solid gain into new high territory. Meanwhile, weakness in commodity-linked areas led the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.28%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.51%), and Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.23%) each to finish the session lower.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX +0.34%) rallied to new 2013 highs this week. This is encouraging news for the broader market outlook since financial stocks are a reliable "leading indicator".

Grand Canyon Education (LOPE -$0.02 or -0.08% to $24.13) was highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here) while consolidating following its considerable "breakaway gap" on 5/08/13. Its pivot point is based on its 2/20/13 high plus 10 cents. A breakaway gap is one noted exception where investors may chase a stock more than +5% above its prior high or pivot point. However, buying further above prior highs increases the chances that a normal pullback may prompt disciplined investors to limit losses and sell if the stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price.  The stock spiked into new 52-week high territory with volume-driven gains, and it also rallied into new all-time high territory above its April 2010 high (N criteria), showing bullish technical action which may mark the beginning of a meaningful and sustained advance in price.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 200 in Mar '12 to 290 in Mar '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It most recently reported earnings +34% on +21% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter, and earnings increases were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) the past 3 quarterly comparisons. It found support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and well above its 200 DMA line recently, proving resilient after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 4/02/13. It was last shown in this FSU section on 3/13/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Weakening Relative Strength After Negating Breakout". Since then its Relative Strength Rating (90) has improved above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates under the fact-based investment system. The Commercial Services - Schools group now has a D+ Rating, however leadership  (L criteria) from at least one other company in the group is an encouraging sign.
