September 12, 2010 – 7:00 pm

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I wrote, "For the new week, the market may need a bit of consolidation.  Both SPX and Nasdaq are showing bullish crossovers in their respective MACDs.  VIX closed below 22, a level which had been a solid support since May.  Wednesday has some economic data that may help to [...]

Market Consolidates After Solid Gains Last Week: SPX, Nasdaq, PCLN, MA, V, VECO, CREE, VMW, CRM, CMG

September 8, 2010 – 3:47 pm

After making solid gains last week, the market has been consolidating after the long Labor Day weekend.  Lacking economic news in the US, the market seemed to focus on the European financial system.  Yesterday, the market slumped on worries of European banks.  Today, the market rallied after a successful auction of Portuguese government debt.  Are [...]

September 6, 2010 – 8:56 pm

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I forecasted, "For the new week, we’ll look to see if we can continue to get improved economic data, especially the consumer confidence and Chicago PMI on Tuesday to perhaps set the tone.  On Friday, we’ll get the latest payroll numbers and unemployment rate.  VIX actually closed lower last [...]

Stocks Sink Further On Home Sales: SPX, Nasdaq, GOOG, ISRG, PCLN, MLM, VMC, CRM, TSL

August 24, 2010 – 6:16 pm

The market was already on its heels and sank lower today after a sharp fall in the latest home sales report.  Stocks were weak pretty much across the board.  GOOG fell another $12.68 to close just above the $450 level.  Just 2 weeks ago, GOOG was trading around $500/share!  ISRG continued to stumble, down $13.82; [...]

Market Forecast + Sector Watch: SPX, Nasdaq, GLD, MOO, INX2, XME, POT, MOS, AGU, CF, PCLN, MFE, GOOG, NEM, ABX, GOLD

August 22, 2010 – 7:43 pm

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I forecasted, "For the new week, the latest development in the charts are certainly not bullish.  However, it may not necessarily dictate a breakdown.  If SPX 1080 does not hold, the next support is 1060, set back in mid-July.  The market could still be range-bound, and, is very mixed." As [...]

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 Pushes Higher: SPX, Nasdaq, POT, CF, MOS, RIG, DO, APC, HAL, BP, GOOG, AMZN, PCLN

July 8, 2010 – 2:19 pm

Yesterday, I mentioned that "we should see resistance between SPX 1070 and 1080."  This morning, the market tested SPX 1070 and started to pullback a bit.  But, in the last hour, the market pushed higher again, closing above SPX 1070. Agriculture stocks were strong:  POT +4.02%, CF +5.12%, MOS +4.63%.  Oil services continued to run [...]

June 6, 2010 – 8:13 pm

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I wrote: "For the new week, the market is definitely struggling to bounce from May’s slump.  However, Europe’s financial problems may be worse than that of the US, as China’s Premier warned of a possible double-dip in the global economy’s attempt to recover.  Charts are certainly showing the same [...]
