A batch of generally better-than-expected economic data lifted stocks. The S&P/Case-Shiller home price index posted the biggest year-over-year advance since February 2006. In addition, building permits jumped to a five-year high in October and a gauge on manufacturing in the central Atlantic region climbed to the best level since August. These encouraging updates overshadowed an unexpectedly drop in consumer confidence to a seven-month low.

Six of the 10 S&P 500 sectors advanced. Technology was the best performing group thanks to Apple Inc's (AAPL +1.9%) gain. Consumer stocks also gained ground. Tiffany & Co. (TIF +8.68%) rallied after posting earnings above analyst expectations and raising its full-year outlook. The more defensive utilities sector lagged behind as CenterPoint Energy Inc (CNP -5.19%) fell.

Treasuries rose and a government auction of five-year notes garnered weaker than average demand. The 10-year note was up 6/32 to yield 2.71% and the 30-year bond gained 11/32 to yield 3.80%.

Market (M criteria) conditions are encouraging as the major averages have seen leadership (new highs) expand while the Dow and S&P 500 Index climbed into new all-time high territory. New buying efforts should always be selective.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is perched above 1,800, up +26.37% year-to-date after 7 consecutive weekly gains.

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.74%) rallied for a modest gain and the tech sector was led higher by gains from the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.86%) and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.61%) while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.08%) finished flat.  Financial shares were mixed and little changed as the Bank Index ($BKX -0.25%) edged lower and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.10%) inched higher. Energy-related shares were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.44%) posted a small gain and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.31%) declined.

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.17%) was a clear laggard with a large loss, slumping toward its 2013 lows..

Grand Canyon Education (LOPE +$0.02 or +0.04% to $44.72) has been consolidating since its considerable volume-driven gain on 10/30/13 for a new high. It has been repeatedly noted - "Reported earnings +17% on +14% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter, its 2nd quarterly comparison with an earnings increase below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Fundamental concerns remain while technical action has been reassuring."

The high-ranked Commercial Services - Schools firm was last shown in this FSU section on 10/14/13 under the headline, "Formed Advanced Base But Fundamental Concerns Remain", Disciplined investors might look for stronger buy candidates meeting all key criteria.

Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines near term support, and a subsequent violation would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. Its Relative Strength Rating (92) remains above the 80+ minimum guideline.  The Commercial Services - Schools group has shown leadership (L criteria) and currently has an A Rating. The weekly graph below shows pivot points identified earlier this year.  The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 200 in Mar '12 to 336 in Sep '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria.  Its small supply (S criteria) of 45 million outstanding shares could contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
