Weekly Wrap + Market Forecast + Sector Watch: SPX, Nasdaq, UUP, GLD, USO, XLF, GOLD, AEM, NEM, ABX, PAAS, GS, MS, JPM, BAC, WFC

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I wrote: "For the new week, we should see strength in the market early in the week.  Friday’s jobs report actually paints a very good scenario for the stock market.  While jobs were added, the unemployment rate was left unchanged.  This should help to keep a lid on the [...]

Fed Day…As Expected RIG, FCX, GS, MS, FSLR

The Fed came and went Wednesday, silently into the night.  As I expected, they came out with basically the same statement as last time….certain to be bullish for stocks over the next few weeks.  Gold was on fire and clicked right out the gate, but fell some after the statement.  We could see this surge [...]

Market Sinks To Test Support: SPX, Nasdaq, MS, WFC, AAPL, FCX, FFIV, EBAY

Yesterday, in my evening article, I said, "For the past 4 trading sessions, the market has been treading water, which means some consolidation is happening.  Both SPX and Nasdaq are sliding away from the daily upper BB.  This shows a lack of immediate momentum to push the market higher.  Unless the market can jump back up to [...]

Earnings, Earnings, And More Earnings! SPX, Nasdaq, MS, WFC, GS, QCOM, EBAY, VMW, ISRG, EDU, AMZN, DECK, MSFT, BIDU

Financials were weak to start as MS posted a $1.2 billion quarterly loss and WFC, although reporting better-than-expected results, spooked investors with continuing loan problems.  MS ended the day flat and WFC lost 3.55%.  Financials got stronger during the day.  GS closed in the green as it redeemed the outstanding warrants the US government received through [...]

The market was obviously nervous today ahead of AAPL and YHOO earnings.  After opening higher in the morning, the market drifted into the red.  AAPL traded down to just below $150/share.  But, soon after lunch, buyers came in again, and the market was able to finish higher.  Biotechs continued to be strong today.  HGSI jumped [...]

Market Forecast + Sector Watch: SPX, Nasdaq, USO, XLF, XME, XLE, PBW

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I wrote: "For the new week, the market still looks very vulnerable.  The market would have to overcome a lot of downside pressure to push higher.  Goldman Sach’s (GS) earnings on Tuesday morning could decide the market’s near-term fate." Indeed, GS earings turned out to a dominant force.  On Monday, [...]
