For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained +0.3%, the S&P 500 Index rose +0.1% and the Nasdaq Composite Index lost -0.5%. The major averages finished higher on Friday's session, albeit off of their best levels. The volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating there was not an increase in institutional buying demand behind the gains. Additionally, breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange.  There were 46 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from 42 stocks on the prior session. Meanwhile, the list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs contracted yet still easily outnumbered new lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 9 of the 22 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that has recently contracted as several former leaders showed noted signs of both fundamental and technical deterioration.

Stocks were choppy throughout Friday's session despite a better-than-expected report on U.S. manufacturing. Corporate earnings were also a factor in the session. Shares of Chevron Corp (CVX -1.63%) fell after the company reported a decrease in third-quarter profits. Shares of American International Group, Inc (AIG -6.52%) fell following their quarterly results. The new General Motors Company (GM +1.19%) rose after the company reported stronger-than-anticipated vehicle sales in October. In other news, The Container Store (TCS +101%) rallied in its first day of trading.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were lower along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was down 5/8 of a point to yield 2.63% and the 30-year bond was off over a full point to yield 3.70%. 

The market (M criteria) has established a confirmed uptrend. Disciplined investors might watch for opportunities to make proper new buying efforts.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating near all-time-highs, up +19.16% year-to-date.

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.02%) was an influential group gainer on Friday while the Bank Index ($BKX +0.19%) posted a smaller gain.  The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.62%) led the tech sector while the Internet Index ($IIX +0.26%) eked out a smaller gain, meanwhile the Networking Index ($NWX -0.38%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.33%) each ended with a small loss. Weakness in the Retail Index ($RLX -0.42%) also created a drag on the major averages. Energy-related shares suffered modest losses as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.59%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.30%). Defensive groups were laggards as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -3.19%) fell harder than the Healthcare Index ($HMO -1.57%).

CELG was last shown in this FSU section on 9/20/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume-Driven Gain Challenging New Pivot Point", tallying a gain with volume more than 2 times average. After additional volume-driven gains for new highs it encountered distributional pressure, however, and the stock's Accumulation/ Distribution Rating has slumped to an E from a B-  

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,623 in Dec '11 to 2,021 in Sep '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria.  However, the company is already well-known by the institutional crowd, and that means that very few are likely to just be discovering it.
