Review 12/12/07: SPX, Nasdaq, BIIB, DO, RIG, SLB

This morning, the market opened up sharply, almost completely erasing yesterday’s loss, as the Fed announced further plans to deal with credit problems. But, the big gains quickly faded.
Yesterday, I said, “The market now could slide further to test the 20-day MA (the cyan line). On the other hand, this quick drop might give […]

Review 12/11/07: SPX, Nasdaq, STM, GNSS, T, CSCO, JNPR, BIIB

Well, the market didn’t get what it wanted from the Fed, who lowered the federal funds rate by only one-quarter percentage. Immediately after the rate announcement, the market dropped sharply and continued the slide all the way to the close. The Dow ended down almost 300 points; SPX stumbled 38.31 points; and Nasdaq […]

Review 12/10/07: SPX, Nasdaq, RATE, WU, TTWO, TXN

Here’s how the market closed:

HGX (housing) jumped another +2.66%, while XLF stayed strong also, adding +2.12%. […]

Market Forecast for Week of 12/10 (Part II): Sector Watch

XLF (financials)

We talked about XLF last weekend and are still watching it closely. We were looking at the resistance at $31.5. XLF tested that resistance this past week, but, didn’t close above it. However, the 10-day MA has moved above the 20-day MA and both have turned up. So, again, we’ll […]

Market Forecast for Week of 12/10 (Part I): SPX, Nasdaq

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I said, “So, the market is looking healthier. For the new week, if the market continues to rally above the 30-day MA, we could see the above mentioned resistance range tested. It’ll be very interesting to see how the market positions itself before the next Fed meeting, which is […]

Review 12/5/07: SPX, Nsadaq, FXI, CHNR, EFUT, EDU, PTR, CEO, SNP, LFC, CHA, CMED

Yesterday, in my evening post, I said of SPX, “We’ll need to see some upwards movements soon to start turning the 20-day MA,” and of Nasdaq, “We’ll need to see Nasdaq close above the 20-day MA to feel more bullish.” Well, the market responded with both of those signals today (will discuss more later).
