Tuesday's gains added to impressive annual returns for the major averages. The S&P 500 logged its best year since 1997 as it rallied +29.6%. The Dow's annual return of +26.5% was the best since 1995. The volume totals were still below average yet slightly higher than the prior session's volume totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 76 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from a total of 42 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs expanded and easily outnumbered new lows on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. There were gains for 15 of the 19 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

Stocks finished 2013 on a high note. The Dow gained 72 points to a new record high of 16,576. The S&P 500 Index also posted a fresh all-time high as it rose 7 points to 1,848. The NASDAQ was up 22 points to close at 4,176, its best level since September 2000. The major averages advanced amid encouraging economic data. The S&P/CaseShiller home price index climbed by the most in seven years and a gauge on consumer confidence finished at the strongest year-end reading since 2007.

Eight of the 10 S&P 500 sectors gained ground. Energy and technology were the best performing groups. Gains were paced by Phillips 66's (PSX +3.3%) jump and Apple Inc's (AAPL +1.2%) advance. Health care and telecommunications lagged behind as Johnson & Johnson (JNJ -0.77%) and AT&T Inc (T -0.11%) ended lower.

Treasuries declined on Tuesday and posted their first annual losses since 2009. The 10-year note fell 15/32 to yield 3.03%. The 30-year bond lost more than a full point to yield 3.97%.

The Market (M criteria) rally has continued producing sufficient leadership (stocks hitting new highs) and the ongoing uptrend remains intact. New buying efforts should always be selective.

PICTURED: The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index increased +38.3% in 2013.

The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.65%) and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.34%) led the tech sector while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.40%) fell. The influential financial groups were a positive influcence as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.23%) out paced the Bank Index ($BKX +0.42%), and the Retail Index ($RLX +0.61%) also posted a modest gain. Commodity-linked groups also were on the rise as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.15%) outpaced the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.81%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.99%).

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.23%) rallied to a new 2013 high.

Prior lows in the $35-36 area define the next important chart support levels to watch below its 50 DMA line where any subsequent violations would raise concerns and trigger more worrisome technical sell signals. The company has shown strong quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases, including +38% earnings on +35% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter versus the year ago period. It has earned high ranks including a 98 Earnings Per Share(EPS) rating, and it has maintained a strong quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 276 in Sep '12 to 572 in Sep '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.  The Internet - Content group has recently shown leadership and it currently has the highest possible A+ Group Relative Strength Rating, a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria of the fact-based investment system.
