Stock And Precious Metals Markets: Head Fake Or Earth Quake?

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 00:24:53 GMT

The S&P 500 is above the "shaky" 950 level, and Mr. Nasdaq cut through the 1900 level like a hot drill-bit through a butter ceiling of resistance. Gold defied the $940 resistance level and almost closed as high as $950 on Monday. With Crude Oil easily clearing the $64-a-barrel level, silver took its cue as both an industrial and precious metal and bounced up 2% in one day closing at $13.62 an ounce. Is this the proverbial "head fake" by the manipulating specialists who want to sucker us into a market top, or has the ground opened up revealing chasms of hidden market fortunes and wealth? As John Stossel used to say on 20-20, "Give Me A Break". But is this the "break" that produces profits or shatters the thigh bones?[More...]

Analyst Comments: GOL, Allied Waste, Burlington Northern, Turkcell, Dendreon, American Medical, Wilmington Trust, Silicon Lab, NII Holdings

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 18:44:00 GMT

We are keeping our Hold recommendation on Gol Linhas (GOL). The company has been enjoying impressive growth in the Brazilian domestic airline industry for the last few years, and the short-term growth outlook remains quite encouraging. It is important to note that 2007 earnings were highly affected by the infrastructure crisis in the Brazilian airports, a problem that showed a slightly improvement in the first half of 2008. Additionally, 2008 results are now affected by high oil prices. Gol remains one of the fastest growing airlines in the world and with the acquisition of VRG the short-term growth outlook seems positive. We were very encouraged to see that oil prices have begun to move down from the US$150 per barrel peak recently. The reaction in the airline industry was prompt. This was great news for GOL; nevertheless it is too[More...]
