Stocks Take SP500 Above 1100: SPX, Nasdaq, CLF, PCLN, BIDU, FSLR, WMT, DELL

February 18, 2010 – 9:13 pm

The market pushed higher in bumpy trading as February options came to 1 day before their expiration.  In my article on Tuesday, I said, "I think we should see some profit-taking tomorrow, especially if SPX goes up to test 1100.  If SPX does hit 1100 tomorrow, we would look to lock in more profits on [...]

November 19, 2009 – 6:06 pm

The market started out weak on an inline unemployment report.  The chip makers led the market lower as Bank of America downgraded both INTC and TXN.  INTC lost 4.08% while TXN dropped 3.38%.  If you read the above linked article, you can really get a sense that it is a "ratings game".  The timing was [...]

Cashing Out On Oil, Up Goes The Qs! SPX, Nasdaq, MA, V, DELL, MRVL, DNA, GILD, CPHD

Techs were strong, as QQQQ (the Qs) went back to nearly $50. Financials also showed strength today, helped partially by MA, which reaffirmed revenue guidance. MA jumped $22.11, or up +7.71%, [...]

Review 11/29/07: SPX, Nasdaq, SHLD, DELL, JCG, OVTI

November 29, 2007 – 6:25 pm

After the HUGE jump yesterday, the market held together pretty well and finished slightly green. The Dow was up +22.28 points; SPX added just +0.7 points; and Nasdaq gained +5.22 points. For me, it was a day to relax and watch, allowing the market to vent a little. The market was very strong, letting off [...]

Review 8/30/07: SPX, Nasdaq, DELL, OTEX, OVTI

August 30, 2007 – 4:37 pm
