Eyes on China

There was a pause in the action today as the stock markets traded in a much narrower range and were a little mixed. The DJIA, SPX and NYA were all up just slightly but the Nasdaq and RUT were down. All eyes on China tonight as two key economic reports are released.

In tonight’s Weekday Market Wrap video I look at today’s price action and two trade ideas…Under Armour (UA) and Visa (V). I then review two new trade ideas on Alibaba (BABA) and Caterpillar (CAT). Continue reading

Teasing the Bears

The market pulled back on all the indices today. It’s almost as if it is teasing the bears. It has done this stair stepping process higher for several weeks now.

But there may something a little different this time and I discuss it in tonight’s video. I also briefly look at Michael Kors (KORS) which was up 8%, Mosaic (MOS) which was down 8% and Netflix (NFLX) which was up 4% today.

After the market closed, Facebook (FB) reported earnings and the stock was up about 3%. FireEye (FEYE) on the other hand was trading down 14% along with Whole Foods Market (WFM) trading down 6% in after hours trading. Continue reading

Another Push Higher

The markets added another push higher today with a fair amount of volatility in the afternoon after the Fed announced no change in interest rates. The DJIA ended the day up 198 points and the Russell 2000 started to play catch-up also, up 33 points, almost 3%. 

Oil looks like it may trying to trap some bears with the move today. In tonight’s video I also talk about 2 new trade ideas on Apache (APA) and Chevron (CVX).  Continue reading

In tonight’s Weekday Market Wrap video, in addition to our normal look at the U.S. markets, I look at the German DAX, Shanghai Composite Index and the Baltic Dry Index.  Stocks tonight are Apple (AAPL), Goldman Sachs (GS), Twitter (TWTR) and Boeing (BA). I also show the disaster of the day…Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX). Continue reading

Retail Sales Bring Back the Bears

goldilocksIt started in China again last night as they reported lower than expected inflation. Then U.S. retail sales were below expectations. Then Wal-Mart dramatically cut its future earnings forecast and whoosh…the stock was down 10% on its heaviest trading day since January 2009 and its lowest close since May 16, 2012.

In tonight’s Weekday Market Wrap video I look at all of today’s action and check in on Germany and China. Gold continues to push higher. Three new trade ideas tonight on Celgene (CELG), Lululemon Athletica (LULU) and Tesoro (TSO).  Continue reading
