Major Averages End Mixed After Early Gains Fade
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 Index managed to close in the green, but the Nasdaq Composite Index lagged behind. Decliners narrowly led advancers by a 8-7 margin on the NYSE and while decliners beat advancers by 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. Volume was lighter on the NYSE and near the prior session total on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 16 high-ranked company from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 10 stocks. There were gains for only 5 of the 15 of the high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
Stocks pared gains as declines in technology shares put a damper on an early rally triggered by a jump in consumer confidence. The Conference Board's index of consumer sentiment climbed in November by the most since 2003 as Americans grew more upbeat about employment and income prospects. European efforts added to optimism. Well-received bond auctions by Belgium and Italy eased some contagion concerns and euro-area finance ministers met to discuss ways to end the debt crisis. Fed speak was also in focus. Atlanta Fed President Lockhart said that expanding securities purchases is unlikely to give a sufficient boost to U.S. growth.
Overall, most sectors were higher, led by energy, while technology stocks slipped. Energy stocks got a boost as crude oil inched toward $100 a barrel. Meanwhile, chipmakers Broadcom Corp (BRCM -2.78%) and Qualcomm Inc (QCOM -1.54%) dragged techs lower.
The 10-year note closed off 9/32 to yield 2.00%, pushing the yield higher for a third straight day in the longest stretch of increases this month.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index graph above shows a lack of buying demand in recent weeks while it is sputtering below the 50-day and 200-day moving average lines.

Tech Sector Drags Nasdaq Down
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The tech sector had a negative bias as the Networking Index ($NWX -1.55%), Internet Index ($IIX -0.76%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.72%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.64%) lost ground. Financial stocks also created a drag as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.62%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.61%) ended lower. Commodity-linked groups had a positive drift as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.23%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.28%) rose along with the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.76%). The Retail Index ($RLX +0.65%) and Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.43%) also were a positive influence.

Little Resistance Due to Overhead Supply
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Under Armour Inc (UA -$1.30 or -1.63% to $78.31) has rallied back above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which helped its technical stance improve. Little resistance remains due to overhead supply following its recent consolidation. Its 200 DMA line defines the next important support level. Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 11/03/11 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Found Support Near Pivot Point After Volume-Driven Breakout", while perched near its all-time high.
The high-ranked Apparel - Clothing Manufacturing firm was highlighted in yellow in the 10/25/11 mid-day report (read here) with an annotated graph illustrating its volume-driven breakout from a "reverse-head-and-shoulders" base pattern. Proof of fresh buying demand may be a reassurance worth waiting on before accumulating. Volume-driven gains to new high ground could signal the beginning of a longer and more substantial advance. During its recent rebound there were bullish signs of heavy new institutional buying demand, a very reassuring characteristic when considering new buying efforts in any stock. UA reported earnings +29% on +42% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 339 in Dec '10 to 420 in Sep '11, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Earlier notes had acknowledged the downward turn in annual earnings (A criteria) in FY '08, a concern with respect to the fact-based investment system.
