The major averages retreated on Tuesday. Volume totals were reported higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session's volume totals. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and 9-4 on the Nasdaq exchange.  There were 58 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 74 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs easily outnumbered new lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 10 of the 23 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

The standoff on Capitol Hill weighed on stocks as lawmakers worked on competing budget plans. The House is expected to propose a revised bill this afternoon that would reopen the government through mid-December and extend the debt ceiling until early February. A weak economic report added to the downside. Manufacturing in the New York region unexpectedly dropped to the lowest level since May. As a result, every S&P 500 sector declined.

Utilities led the market lower including Duke Energy Corp (DUK -1.06%) and Southern Co. (SO -1.21%).  Financials were also weak as Citigroup Inc (C -1.49%) fell, missing earnings estimates amid a drop in bond trading and mortgage revenue. Consumer stocks were under pressure, including Coca-Cola (KO -0.66%) after delivering earnings and revenue results that were in-line with expectations. Yahoo! Inc (YHOO -1.82%) fell as its earnings report was digested, and the tech sector was weak.

Treasury prices declined and the U.S. attracted the weakest demand since 2009 at weekly bill auctions. The 10-year note was down 11/32 to yield 2.73% and the 30-year bond lost 21/32 to yield 3.79%.

The market (M criteria) weakness has been noted as a "rally under pressure" and the choppy market currently calls for very careful navigation.  Disciplined investors might watch for opportunities to make proper new buying efforts, and stocks that were sold can always be bought again if strength returns.  Individual holdings should always be closely monitored for any worrisome technical sell signals. It is most critical to investors' success to avoid large losses by selling if any stock ever falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index snapped a four-day winning streak as it fell 12 points to 1,698. The prompt rebound above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line helped its technical stance improve.

The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.39%) bounced and was a standout gainer on Tuesday. The major averages were dragged lower by widespread losses including the influential Retail Index ($RLX -0.96%) and financial groups as the Bank Index ($BKX -0.88%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.50%) fell. The Healthcare Index ($HMO -1.24%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.01%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.89%), Networking Index ($NWX -1.93%), and Internet Index ($IIX -0.79%) suffered unanimous losses.  Energy-related shares also fell as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.75%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.34%) edged lower.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -0.88%) reversed and finished the session below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Noah Holdings Ltd (NOAH +$2.27 or +12.96% to  $19.79) finished strong after highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It hit a new 52-week high with more than 4 times average volume behind today's considerable gain, its 5th consecutive gain. The breakout above its pivot point triggered a technical buy signal. Volume totals cooled in recent weeks.  It found prompt support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line during its deep V-shaped cup with handle pattern. No resistance remains due to overhead supply while blasting to new high (N criteria) territory.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 18 in Mar '13 to 23 in Sep '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio is also an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. After it reported earnings +142% on +132% sales revenues for the second quarter of 2013 it was noted - "Strong sales and earnings acceleration helped this Chinese provider of investment products to better match the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines."  The N criteria also is also supported by strong sales revenues increases - considered a sign that a new product or service has been in great demand. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 17.3 Million shares in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
