The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 5 points to 16,025, the S&P 500 added 3 points for its best-ever close at 1,808 and the NASDAQ advanced 6 points with the index closing at 4,068.  The volume totals were reported mixed, lighter on the Nasdaq exchange while volume was higher on the NYSE. Advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange while breadth was even on the NYSE. There were 56 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down slightly from a total of 59 stocks on the prior session.  The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new lows on the Nasdaq exchange and also on the NYSE. There were gains for only 8 of the 18 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. That was discouraging action in that group of leading stocks versus the broader market's positive breadth.

Stocks traded in a narrow range throughout the session. Investors were cautious as Richmond regional Fed president Jeffrey Lacker said he expected stimulus tapering to be a topic of discussion during next week's FOMC meeting.

Most sectors on the S&P ended higher, led by gains in tech stocks. Shares of Apple Inc (AAPL -1.1%) and Facebook Inc (FB +1.9%) . Food distributor Sysco Corp (SYY +9.6%) rallied on news that the company was acquiring competitor US Foods. In other news, McDonald's Corp (MCD -1.1%) after the restaurant chain reported disappointing November sales data.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were modestly higher along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was up 3/32 to yield 2.85% and the 30-year bond gained 9/32 to yield 3.87%.

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. As always, any new buying efforts should be selective. The CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks Page shows the most action-worthy candidates and their latest notes and a new Headline Link directs members to the latest detailed analysis with data-packed graphs annotated by a Certified expert along with links to additional resources.  The Premium Member Homepage - includes "dynamic archives" to all prior pay reports published.

Soufun Hldgs Ltd Ads (SFUN -$1.62 or -2.26% to $70.02) is -9.6% off its all-time high after it pulled back for a 4th consecutive loss today with lighter volume, consolidating from its all-time high hit last week.

The high-ranked Internet - Content firm powered into new high territory since last shown in this FSU section on 11/08/13 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Perched Near All-Time High After Testing Support".  It has rallied +182% since first featured in the 2/11/13 mid-day report in yellow (read here).

Fundamentals remain strong as it reported +64% earnings on +45% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter versus the year ago period, solidly satisfying the C criteria. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 67 in Sep '12 to 134 in Sep '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 33.4 million shares in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
