Watching The Dollar, And Charts For Tuesday

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:59:46 GMT

During the second half of the trading day today, we saw the dollar rallying, with equities giving back early gains and closing flat. Although we should consider last week's stock market action bullish, with a nice recovery from early-week distribution, a couple of factors give reason for caution. First, the Chinese market showed some serious weakness last week. The Shanghai Composite Index fell 5.8% last Monday, followed by a 4.2% drop on Wednesday. Following the Wednesday selloff in China, the US markets gapped down at the open, and then charged higher to close solidly positive for the day. The US markets continued to follow-through during the remainder of the week. Wednesday's action was intriguing, in that it was allegedly due to a report showing surprisingly low oil inventories, which traders took as an indicator of improved demand, recovery, etc. Personally I think it is just as likely that Geithner told Goldman Sachs to buy the open to put a floor under[More...]

Nortel Files for Bankruptcy

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 16:52:00 GMT

Ah Nortel (NT) - those of you who were around in the late 90s know this name well.... JDS Uniphase (JDSU) and Nortel (NT) - the dominant powers of the next decade! Oh yeh, Lucent too ... For those not familiar with that era JDSU used to be the Potash of it's day... or Google in fact. Nortel was the back up name in the sector. In a completely anecdotal story, I was looking through my watch lists to expunge some old names this weekend (i.e. Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns) and I happened upon Nortel. I expunged her as well... Canadian readers will know this name very well. Telecommunications equipment maker Nortel Networks Corp. filed for bankruptcy protection in Canada and the U.S. on Wednesday, becoming the first major technology company to take that step in this global downturn.Facing a sharp drop[More...]

A Welcome Rally Greets Investors Ahead Of The New Year; Before You Get Too Bullish Look At The Volume

Wed, 31 Dec 2008 04:15:00 GMT

Today was a very positive day for the stock market indexes with the SP 600 rallying the most with a 3.7% gain. The Nasdaq, SP 500, SP 600, and DJIA all made it over their 50 day moving averages which helps now give them a little bit of support if this rally can catch any legs. However, before anyone gets “too for-sure” of themselves and go out there calling a bottom I would like to take your attention BACK to 2002 and 2003. What did the rallies of October 2002 and March 2003, which WERE REAL bottoms, have that this rally does not have? If you answered volume, you are right. If you answered nice stocks, you are right. If you answered stock setting up in “hot” based, you are right. If you said…well you get the point. This rally off these lows, with these charts are NOTHING like the rallies of either October 2002 or March 2003. So for those that keep using those dates as reference points please check your charts. Right now, the leading[More...]

Finisar posts sharply higher fiscal 1Q profit

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 22:46:00 GMT

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Finisar Corp., a maker of fiber-optic subsystems and other data networking equipment, said Thursday its fiscal first-quarter profit rose sharply, helped by an acquisition and stronger sales.
That compares with $2.8 million, or a penny per share, during the three months that ended Aug. 3, 2008.
Revenue increased 11 percent to $128.7 million from $115.8 million in the year-earlier period, including an 11 percent rise in revenue from the company's optics business - an increase that reflects the company's acquisition of rival Optium last year.
