Stock Market Commentary:

Stocks and a host of commodities rallied after last week’s week-long “Flash Crash.” From our vantage point, the market rally remains under pressure due to the lackluster action in the major averages and so many leading stocks.

Stocks Rally As Jobs Related Bounce Continues

Stocks and a host of commodities rallied on the first day of the week, rebounding from last week’s very sharp sell off. It was encouraging to see a slew of leading stocks hold up rather well during lat week’s sell off ranging from: AAPL, NFLX, BIDU, PCLN, GMCR, MCP, & AMZN. 

Market Outlook- Rally Under Pressure

From our point of view, the market rally is under pressure which suggests caution is paramount at this stage.  Looking forward, the next level of support for the major averages are their respective 50 DMA lines. The rally remains in tact as long as support holds. If you are looking for specific help navigating this market, please contact us for more information.

    For the most part, the major averages and leading stocks are acting well as investors continue to digest the slew of economic and earnings data being released each day. Until a clear picture can be formed as to how companies fared last quarter, one could easily expect to see more of this sideways action to continue. The market just began its 46th week since the March lows and the rally remains intact as long as the major averages continue trading above their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines.

    Stock Market Commentary:
    Stocks and a host of commodities ended mixed after the latest economic data missed estimates. So far, the old adage, “Sell in May and Go Away,” appears to be working brilliantly. From our vantage point, the market rally remains under pressure due to the lackluster action in the major averages and several leading stocks.
    Lousy Economic Data Weighs On Stocks:
    Investors digested a slew of economic data on Thursday. On the plus side, the Labor Department said weekly jobless claims fell by -29,000 to 409,000 last week but the four-week average is still above 400,000. On the downside, existing homes sales missed estimates at a 5.05 million annual unit rate, down -0.8% in April and tanked -12.9% vs. the same period in 2010. Leading economic indicators fell -0.3% in April following a 0.7% jump in March. The report also missed the Street’s estimates. In other news, the Philly Fed Survey also missed estimates which suggests sluggish economic growth may be on the horizon.
    Market Outlook- Rally Under Pressure
    From our point of view, the market rally is under serious pressure which suggests caution is paramount at this juncture. Looking forward, the next level of support for the major averages are their respective 50 DMA lines and resistance is their 2011 highs. The rally remains in tact as long as support holds on a closing basis. If you are looking for specific help navigating this market, please contact us for more information.

  • Stocks End Lower On Lackluster Economic Data

    It was encouraging to see the major averages continue rallying after breaking above their their respective 2-month downward trendlines and their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines. However, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the NYSE composite have stalled near their prior chart highs which is their next logical area of resistance. At this point, the window remains open for for high ranked stocks to be accumulated when they trigger fresh technical buy signals.

  • Quiet Day On Wall Street; Commodities Rally:

    Byinfo@50park.com

    Monday was a quiet day on Wall Street as gold and silver soared. In the future, to avoid any confusion, we are no longer going to use outside resources to label the market. A popular outside source changed their label on Friday to Market in a confirmed rally, without a proper FTD emerging. This is bizarre and frankly plain irresponsible. From our standpoint, the rally that began on September 1, 2010 is still intact and we said that in our commentary on November 16, 2010 when the outside source said the rally ended. Full Story here.
