Flood Of Earnings Begin - Monday/Tuesday Preview

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:14:28 GMT

Long time readers will know our love/hate relationship with earnings season. As information hogs we love more data; but as stock market participants we hate the massive overreactions to companies based on 90 days of business and a penny here or there in earnings per share, or +/- 1-2% of revenue on the top line. But this is the only game in town and if certain companies should win or lose 20-30% of their market value within seconds of the all important press release is not up to us; this is the market "we've" created. So we'll gap up or down in many individual stocks, and the market as a whole based on 1-2 "important" companies that - based on a few pennies here or there - shift the entire complexion of a $14 Trillion economy. Or so the pundits will opine. In most cases, I will be cutting back positions going into earnings since they have become 50/50 propositions with completely unknown risks v returns as lemmings rush in (or out). [More...]

Daily Report For Tuesday, Apr 14, 2009

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 14:18:59 GMT

(9:30am ET) Stocks in NY sank at the open following various negative reports from TV talking heads, though trade volume was weak on the Easter Monday. After the close, Goldman Sachs surprised with unusually positive revenue and earnings. Today, President Obama will be making a speech on the state of the economy. Traders are confused. Yesterday was pretty much a lost day in the market. Very little of consequence happened. By the close, the DJIA’s small loss (-25.57 -0.32% to 8057.81) offset the small gain in the S&P (+2.17 +0.25% to 858.73), while the NASDAQ (+0.77 +0.05% to 1653.31) was flat. The Toronto Composite (+98.50 +1.07% to 9285.6) and the Toronto Venture Board (+11.89 +1.23% to 980.86) were stronger as the metal miners and goldminers enjoyed a good day. Except for Japan’s Nikkei 225 index (-0.92% to 8842.7), prices today were strong in the major international equity markets: Australia (+2.22% to[More...]

(8:36am ET) On Thursday, the upbeat earnings report of (Cara 100) Best Buy (BBY) served to lift the market at the open. Technologies stocks later were the basis of a closing hour rally. At the close, the DJIA (+174.75 +2.25% to 7924.56), S&P 500 (+18.98 +2.33% to 832.86), and NASDAQ (+58.05 +3.80% to 1587.00) gained for the third day in four this week. The Toronto Composite (+198.06 +2.25% to 8995.50) was in line with NY, but the Toronto Venture Board (+24.98 +2.63%to 974.02) also rallied. In the US equity market, the big winners were the Industrials (XLI +5.4%), Consumer Disretionary (XLY +4.6%) and Basic Materials (XLB +4.0%). All ten sectors were winners, but the laggards on this day were Energy +0.9% and Financials (XLF +1.2%). Within the many industry groups, there were a broad section of technology groups that were on the leader board. Lagging a bit were the Goldminers ($XAU[More...]

Daily Report for Thurs., Mar. 5, 2009 (7:57am ET) Equity markets made steady progress on Wednesday as Energy (XLE +4.8%) and Basic Material (XLB) stocks rallied from the opening bell, giving traders hope that an upside move was about to commence. By the end of the session, the DJIA (+149.82 +2.23% to 6875.84, still down from Friday’s 7062.93 close); the S&P 500 (+16.54 +2.38% to 712.87, still down from Friday’s 735.09); and the NASDAQ Composite (+32.73 +2.48% to 1353.74, still down from 1377.84) showed promise. The Canadian markets were also firm as the Toronto Composite gained +183.13 +2.40% to 7814.75 (down from Friday’s 8123.02 close), while the Venture Board gained just +6.88 +0.83% to 830.95 (down from Friday’s 861.66).

Thu, 26 Feb 2009 15:35:00 GMT

(9:39am ET) Equity prices sold off sharply at the open and then after gaining strength all day, sold off sharply again into the close. The DJIA (-80.05 -1.09% to 7270.89); the S&P 500 (-824 -1.07% to 764.90); and the NASDAQ Composite (-16.40 -1.14% to 1425.43) closed with a loss of just over -1%. Canadian markets remained strong through the close, however. The Toronto Composite gained +72.97 +0.93% to 7932.30, and the Venture Board was up +1.38 +0.16% to 854.97. The Techs (XLK +0.9%) were the leading sector with the Semi-conductors in particular strong on the day ($SOX +3.0%), while the Banks ($BKX gained +2.4%). True to recent form, as the Banks lifted, there was a sell-off in gold, as $GOLD dropped -$3.30/oz to close at 966.20. Crude Oil ($WTIC) gained +$2.54/bbl to close at 42.50, and is a tad stronger this morning, up to 43.46 at about 8:15am ET, then softening a bit to 43.06 at 9am, still up so far on the[More...]

(9:39am ET) Equity prices as shown in the major market indexes are at multi-year lows and traders are in a state of capitulation. By the end of the day, Monday, the DJIA (-250.89 -3.41% to 7114.78), the S&P 500 (-26.72 -3.47% to 743.33), and NASDAQ Composite (-53.51 -3.71% to 1387.72) closed down at support levels going back to the 1990’s. The Toronto Composite (-302.32 -3.80% to 7647.67) and Venture Board (-13.96 -1.56% to 878.94) were down there as well. There were no winning sectors as Healthcare (XLV -2.0%), a major loser, was the best of the lot. Basic Materials (XLB -6.1%), pulled down by Chemicals, led to the downside. The Financials (XLF -3.5%) dropped equal to the broad indexes, and much of the loss was in the REITs ($DJR), which fell -7.8%, and not the banks. Today, JP Morgan (JPM) prudently slashed its dividend, permitting all banks to follow, without each getting hammered. That move was crucial to a base being set[More...]
