The major averages ended higher Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 198 points to 16,020, the S&P 500 added 20 points to 1,805 and the NASDAQ advanced 29 points with the index closing at 4,062.  Stocks were higher from the opening bell following a batch of better-than-expected economic reports. Looking at the data, non-farm and private payrolls expanded more-than-anticipated in November, while the unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped to 7% from 7.3%.

All 10 sectors on the S&P ended higher. Industrial and Material stocks showed strength with Caterpillar Inc (CAT +1.29%) and Monsanto Co (MON +0.70%) gaining. On the earnings front, Ulta Salon Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc (ULTA -20.54%) fell sharply after posting a weaker-than-expected profit tally. In other news, American Eagle Inc (AEO -9.4%) fell as heavy holiday discounting caused the retailer to lower their current-quarter guidance.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were modestly higher along the curve with the benchmark 10-year note up 5/32 to yield 2.86%.

The Market (M criteria) remains in a confirmed rally, however showing signs of distribution and waning leadership, yet the Dow and S&P 500 Index both remain perched near new all-time highs.

Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 11/06/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Hitting New Highs After Choppy Consolidation". Its Relative Strength rating is currently 81, just above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Fundamentally, it has maintained high ranks due to its strong earnings history (meeting C and A criteria) including earnings +45% on +39% sales for the Sep '13 quarter just reported.  This high-ranked Apparel - Clothing Manufacturing firm has headquarters in Hong Kong. It completed Secondary Offerings on 9/25/12 and 2/20/13, each time while perched near its all-time highs.  Prior reports noted - "Such offerings often are a short-term hindrance to upward price progress yet typically result in broader institutional ownership interest." 

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 326 in Mar '12 to 813 in Sep '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.2 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days.
