The major averages finished mixed and little changed on Tuesday. The volume totals were reported higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange.  There were 69 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 53 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs still easily outnumbered new lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 10 of the 22 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

The major averages took a breather following a two-day advance as investors digested fresh economic data and mixed earnings reports. The ISM's non-manufacturing composite unexpectedly increased in October to 55.4 from the prior month's reading of 54.4. Disappointing forecasts by the EU for sluggish euro zone growth and higher unemployment added to the cautious tone. Updates later this week on economic growth also

CVS Caremark Corp (CVS +2.00%) paced gains among consumer stocks as the company raised its full-year outlook. In technology, AOL Inc (AOL +8.52%) and Cognizant Technology Solution Corp (CTSH +3.15%) rallied after both companies topped earnings estimates. The telecommunications group was the worst performing sector. AT&T Inc (T -2.52%) and Verizon Communications Inc (VZ -1.92%) fell. Utilities also lagged behind. FirstEnergy Corp (FE -1.14%) posted a sharp drop in third-quarter earnings. Notable profit tallies after the close included reports from CH Robinson, 21st Century Fox and Tesla Motors.

Treasury prices fell for the fourth time in five days. The 10-year note lost 16/32 to yield 2.66% and the 30-year bond was down more than a full point to yield 3.76%.

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

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is perched near 2013 highs, up +23.6% year-to-date.

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.19%) posted a small gain and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.86%) rose, however the gains were largely offset by weakness in other groups. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.31%) edged lower. The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.19%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.03%) had a slightly negative bias. Medical-related issues lagged as the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.59%) and the Healthcare Index ($HMO -1.57%) both lost ground. Commodity-linked groups also drifted lower as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.13%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.84%), and Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.72%) lost ground.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -0.03%) is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Portfolio Recovery Assoc (PRAA -$0.43 or -0.73% to $58.54) was down today for a 5th consecutive loss with above average volume, slumping below prior highs and finishing below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, raising concerns. Volume-driven gains did not trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal after a new pivot point was recently cited. Great volume conviction is a critical element to any proper buy signal as it shows that heavy institutional buying demand is lurking, but when PRAA hit a new high last week it was lacking volume behind the gain. More damaging losses below its prior low ($56.20 on 10/09/13) would raise more serious concerns and trigger more worrisome technical sell signals.

This high-ranked leader from the Finance - Credit Card/Payment Processing industry group has strong fundamentals and has earned great ranks.  The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 308 in Jun '12 to 431 in Sep '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It recently reported earnings +43% on +31% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter, continuing its track record of strong earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). It found support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line during its consolidation after last shown in this FSU section with an annotated graph on 9/26/13 under the headline, "Wedging to New Highs With Gains Lacking Volume Conviction". A 3:1 share split impacted prices on 8/02/13.
