A Day Of Huge Gains! SPX, Nasdaq, PCLN, POT, AGU, MOS, CF, GOOG, GS, CLF, FSLR, LVS

August 4, 2010 – 4:23 pm

The market pushed higher today as investors cheered better economic data, such as improvement in private employment.  The broader market itself only advanced slightly, as SPX added just +6.78 points.  But, certain stocks really went higher, including most of our positions. PCLN was the headline grabber.  After last night’s blowout earnings and bullish guidance, PCLN jumped [...]

Market Ends Down In Volatile Trading: SPX, Nasdaq, POT, GS, SPY, CLF, GMCR, CME, CTXS, WYNN, FSLR, MET

July 29, 2010 – 8:22 pm

The market started out in the positive territory as jobless claims fell.  However, as I stated last night, "SPX can easily slide down to test 1100 again."  SPX went up as high as 1115.9 and quickly turned lower.  Around noon, SPX had dropped all the way to 1092.  That’s almost 24 points on the SPX, or [...]

July 7, 2010 – 3:05 pm

In my Market Forecast this week, I said, "For the new week, the market should be looking for a bounce after the quick fall for the past 2 weeks.  The above mentioned levels [SPX 1040; Nasdaq 2150] should be the first resistances.  We could see some volatile trading to start the week."  Yesterday, the market gapped higher and [...]

July 5, 2010 – 9:42 pm

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I wrote: "For the new week, this week is still range-bound with a bearish bias.  The longer the market hangs below SPX 1080, the more likely we’ll see SPX test 1040 soon again.  However, if the market rises above 1100, we’ll likely see a new bullish formation in SPX’s [...]

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I said: "For the new week, the market looks to be on its way to break higher.  The daily upper BBs have opened up; the 10-day MAs are crossing above the 20-day MAs.  In addition, the 30-day MAs are trying to turn up.  These are all bullish signals.  This weekend, China [...]

June 13, 2010 – 7:20 pm

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I said: "For the new week, with both SPX and DJI ending below major support levels (SPX 1080 and DJI 10,000), the market can see additional selling pressure.  Energy sectors still look weak, with oil spill in the Gulf looking to extend into the fall, although the containment cap [...]
