The major averages finished modestly lower on Tuesday's session. The volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by 7-6 on the NYSE and 6-5 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 39 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 a total of 44 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new lows on the Nasdaq exchange, but new lows outnumbered new highs on the NYSE. There were gains for 8 of the 16 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

Stocks we choppy throughout the day as investors were cautious to make moves before the conclusion of the Fed's 2-day policy meeting. Equity markets could remain range-bound until the central bank makes a decision tomorrow on whether or not it will taper its current level of bond purchases.

Sector action on the S&P was mixed. Health Care stocks showed weakness with Glaxosmithkline Plc (GSK -1.62%). Telecom stocks got a boost from some M&A activity. Shares of Frontier Communications Corp (FTR +8.64%) rallied on reports that the company was acquiring AT&T Inc's (T -0.88%) mobile and fiber optic networks in Connecticut. 3M Co (MMM +2.92%) rose after boosting their quarterly dividend.  In other news, Facebook Inc (FB +1.95%) hit a new all-time high on news that the company would start using video ads on Thursday.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were higher along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was up 11/32 to yield 2.84% and the 30-year bond gained 15/32 to yield 3.87%.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is still trading well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which acted as support during its prior consolidation.

Modest losses for the Retail Index ($RLX -0.47%) and financial indexes were a negative influence on the major averages as the Bank Index ($BKX -0.79%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.33%) edged lower.  Commodity-linked groups also had a slightly negative bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.51%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.50%), and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.41%) finished the session with small losses.  The Networking Index ($NWX +0.32%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.98%) posted gains while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.14%) dragged on the tech sector.

PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX +0.32%) is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and near prior highs.

Last appearing in this FSU section on 11/13/13 with annotated daily and weekly graphs under the headline, "Perched Near All-Time High Tallying Quiet Gains", it was shown inching higher with light volume for a best-ever close. It is currently perched only -4.7% off its all-time high and no resistance remains due to overhead supply. The 9/06/13 summary, under the headline, "Holding Ground Following Latest Volume Driven Gains", showed a weekly graph where it recently rose with volume-driven gains from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base noted as a riskier "late stage" base.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 193 in Mar '12 to 498 in Sep '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The company hails from the Finance - Credit Card Payment Processing group which improved to a 94 Group Relative Strength Rating from a 55 rating when shown in the FSU section on 7/18/13. Impressive strength and leadership from a couple of other firms in the same industry group is also considered a reassurance concerning the L criteria.
