PICTURED: The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.50%) hit a new 2013 high.

It made limited headway since highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/19/13 high plus 10 cents in the mid-day report on 10/16/13 (read here).  Since then it reported earnings +38% on +25% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter, continuing its strong earnings history satisfying the C and A criteria. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 395 in Dec '12 to 448 funds as of Sep '13, a reassuring trend in place concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its small supply of only 26.2 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.  Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks extended more than +5% above prior highs and always limit losses by selling if any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price.
