Major Averages Rose to New Records at Thanksgiving
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages edged higher on Wednesday. The Dow closed at an all-time high of 17,827 as it climbed 12 points. The S&P 500 gained 5 points to a record high of 2,072. The NASDAQ Composite rose 29 points to 4,787. There were lighter volume totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by an 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 65 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 prior session total of 90 stocks. New 52-week highs still easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 9 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page. A "confirmed uptrend" for the market (M criteria) has been repeatedly noted in this daily Market Commentary since large gains were noted on 10/21/14 backed by higher volume totals as leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) expanded.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index gained 5 points to a record high of 2,072.
The spotlight was on a large batch of mixed economic data. Pending and new home sales for October failed to top analyst expectations while jobless claims unexpectedly rose to a near three-month high of 313,000. Other data revealed durable goods orders increased last month for the first time since July while consumer spending and income rose at the same pace. In addition, the University of Michigan’s consumer confidence index improved this month to the highest level since December 2001 and a gauge on Midwest manufacturing unexpectedly declined from a one-year high.
Eight of the 10 sectors in the S&P 500 finished higher. Verizon (VZ +1.4%) rose while telecom and tech were among the best performing groups. Hewlett-Packard (HPQ +4.1%) rallied after reporting earnings results in-line with analyst estimates. Losses in energy dragged on the market as WTI crude fell -0.7% to a four-year low of $73.59 a barrel ahead of tomorrow’s OPEC meeting. Schlumberger (SLB -2.4%) fell.
Treasuries rose and a government auction of seven-year notes received above average demand. The 10-year note gained 3/32 to yield 2.24%.
Disciplined investors know that new buying efforts may be made under the fact-based investment system only in stocks meeting all key criteria. The Featured Stocks Page shows the most action-worthy candidates and their latest notes and a Headline Link directs members to the latest detailed analysis with data-packed graphs annotated by a Certified expert along with links to additional resources.

Tech Sector Rose While Commodity-Liniked Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.11%) led the tech sector higher while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.09%) and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.61%) posted smaller gains. The Bank Index ($BKX +0.15%) inched higher and the Retail Index ($RLX +0.04%) finished flat while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.20%) edged lower. Commodity-Linked groups lagged as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -2.77%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.67%) both lost ground and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.30%) also slumped.

Quiet Gain For New High Close
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Epam Systems Inc (EPAM +$0.98 or +1.98% to $50.49) quietly rose for a new high close. It has been stubbornly holding its ground above its "max buy" level with volume totals cooling. Prior highs in the $44 area define initial support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
It was last shown in this FSU section on 11/11/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Consolidating Above Prior Highs Following Technical Breakout". The high-ranked Computer - Tech Services firm reported earnings for the Sep '14 quarter above views (not yet shown on the chart as of today) and also gave upbeat sales guidance for the current quarter. It had previously reported earnings +33% on +31% sales revenues for the Jun '14 quarter, a 3rd consecutive quarter with earnings above the +25% guideline, making it a better match concerning the C criteria. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong.
It completed Secondary Offerings 8/30/13 and 9/17/13. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation in the past 50 days. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 254 in Dec '13 to 288 in Sep '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of only 36.1 million shares (S criteria) can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
