Market Closing: Stocks End Mixed After Consumer Sentiment Disappoints - Averages Finish Just Positive For Week

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 20:22:00 GMT

Stock averages closed narrowly mixed, in the middle of the day's range, after a weaker-than-expected report on consumer confidence sapped the early broad-market gains that followed mostly upbeat earnings news from the tech and retail space. The Dow's win streak stops at eight sessions.[More...]

Good News From Tech Companies Helps Semis Power Ahead

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 15:51:49 GMT

The market is roughly flat in the first hour of trading, but large tech stocks are leading the way after some solid earnings reports. DELL and MRVL both reported solid earnings and gave positive outlooks. Additionally, Intel came out and guided revenues above consensus. This is a great sign. The bears have been complaining that the strong earnings reports were all from cost-cutting, and that we would need to see a pickup in revenues for it to continue. So this revenue guidance from INTC is notable. It is also helping power the semi index +2.3% ahead while most sectors are flat.[More...]

ETF Preview: Tech And Retail Funds Look To Get Earnings Boost, Financials Also Gain

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 12:30:00 GMT

Major market ETFs, including the SPY, DIA, UYG and others, are modestly firmer this morning, moving in step with early futures trading. Wall Street has been treated to mostly positive economic news this week and will look to Friday's two reports to continue that trend. But analysts also warned that modest signs of recovery have been well priced into stocks already. Personal income and spending data are due out at 8:30 a.m. ET. The revised Univ. of Michigan consumer sentiment gauge is due for release at 10 a.m.[More...]

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:15:00 GMT

This is the 1st Quarter 2009 edition of our ongoing hedge fund portfolio tracking series. Before reading this update, make sure you check out the Hedge Fund 13F filings series preface.

Commodities Continue To Power Ahead

Fri, 29 May 2009 15:53:19 GMT

The market is slightly higher in early trading, after a solid session yesterday. The leading sectors so far today are energy and materials, as a weak dollar today is boosting commodity prices. Oil prices topped $66 this morning, new highs for this year. Gold is also higher, near the $975 level, but this is still below the year's highs that were reached in February. Financial stocks are taking a breather, which I would view as healthy. In economic news, Q1 GDP estimates were revised to show that the economy shrank at a -5.7% rate, which is less bad than the original -6.1% estimate, but it was still below expectations (-5.5%). In corporate news, solid earnings reports from DELL and Jcrew ([More...]

A Retail Reversal

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 06:37:00 GMT

Anyone who reads this blog knows my affinity for retail stocks, particularly apparel retailers. Simple businesses with measurable demand yet so complex and diverse in execution and strategy. More importantly, retail stocks can be quite volatile as investors fall in and out of love with the stocks almost as quickly as consumers fall in and out of love with various fashion trends. Just a few months ago, I wrote about how investors have unfairly punished retail stocks over the last year. In the last few weeks, we’ve seen just how quickly they’re willing to pile right back in. In fact, on a technical basis, many are showing signs of strong[More...]

October sales promise a bit of relief to stores

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:52:00 GMT

NEW YORK - October sales reports from major retailers ranging from Target Corp. to Macy's Inc. are expected to offer more evidence of a spending recovery when they're released Thursday.
SpendingPulse, a service of MasterCard Advisors, reported Wednesday that jewelry (up 7.2 percent) and clothing (up 3.4 percent) showed signs of life in October compared with a year earlier, when spending was in a free fall.
Retail Metrics' Perkins raised his projection to a 2 percent gain, up from 1.4 percent earlier in the month, helped by improving business at department stores.
