SJI has a Bullish looking stock chart, price broke out from the horizontal resistance mark around 38.68 share Tuesday on a respectable volume. The stock is displaying upside momentum and is poised to move higher from these levels.

Retrospective of 2008

It's time to use this short-break in the markets as a good opportunity to do a retrospective of the previous year, showing you the total of visitors that daily come here, placing the blog in a level of international recognition in the financial blogosphere. To begin, I must tell you that during the year of 2008 have passed by here a total of 142.847 unique visitors ( page views 196.743 ) with an average of 11.903 unique per month ( page views 16.395 ) and 2975 unique per week ( page views 4098 ) . Those visitors came from different parts of the globe, but as is natural most of them from the United States. The readers via feeds also grew at a rate quite high, surpassing even the barrier of 250% compared to 2007. The content published here continues to be just informational and not with the intention to provide an indication of investment, or any other matter. I must always ensure that the trading of my ideas is always subject to possible external news and facts that can interfere with the correct reading of any technical analysis. As usual this is the traditional time for resolutions and makes concrete goals for the next year. I have a few resolutions for the New Year but I’ll focus just in my visitors and blogging. I want to build up to a consistent 20,000 visitors per month. I’m convinced in the potential to get there without foreseeing how. In conclusion, I must say that in general the year was excellent for the blog in all ways. I finish thanking you the confidence you have shown throughout this time and hope that the level of growth continue surprising or remaining at this level, thank you!!!

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Tuesday - YHOO, CIEN, SIGM, NVDA

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

NVDA - Nvidia failed to partake in the rally started in November. This stock formed a rising wedge/flag over the last few weeks and broke trendline support last week. Looks like a trend reversal and a move to 7 level looks inevitable. Shareholders who prefer higher risks may hold with a stop-loss at 7.5.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

SIGM - The near-term outlook is bearish and a close above 9 would confirm this view. On the contrary, a close above 9.34 ( 50 dma ) would have bullish implications and would push the stock to the 10-10.28 range. Hold with a stop-loss at 8.81.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

Shares of Ciena are coming very near to its horizontal support of 6. Any close below this level will signal the next leg down has begun. Stop yourself out on any close below this level. Technically, the RSI had just broken the Bullish territory and fallen below 50. In addition, MACD histogram is negative while MACD crossed below the faster “trigger” line or the red line.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

Yahoo failed to partake in the November advance and looks like and accident waiting to happen. The key level of support on the YHOO is now 11.45, but any close below 11.75 could ignite a move to retest 11 in coming days.

Opening the veil on 2009

Opening the veil on 2009, it will be recommended to maintain a cautious attitude towards the stock market, especially with regard to investments with shorter horizon 3 to 4 months, as high macroeconomic difficulties and high uncertainty and risk will have an impact on this class of assets. The sentiment towards global equity markets has become more dangerous at this moment, so the situation should continue to be marked by instability. The volatility in the market will therefore remain high for some time. This effect becomes more dangerous in a market with little liquidity as we have seen lately . In recent months, the macroeconomic risks have increased significantly for developed economies and have had a more obvious impact on the results of major companies, many analysts are anticipating a negative growth in first 6 months in these economies. The most important key catalysts of the companies still exist, but I believe that there is still a great distance to go before the market is sufficiently strong to release it.

Stocks to watch next week - CIEN, AMZN, TSO

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

TSO - The technical chart looks really positive after the stock crossed the 12 level, but honestly the volume was not good enough to be convincing. The near-term outlook stays cautious till the stock closes conclusively above $12. So far the technical chart is still showing buy signal with stock trading above 50 day moving averages with MACD on top of signal line and K line on top of D line. Short-term traders can hold their longs with a stop at $11.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

AMZN - The stock reversed direction near 55 level last week. This level is proving to be a strong resistance zone. A strong trend would not be in place unless the stock closes above this level, while a close below nearby congestion support in the 50 area would predict a test of short-term uptrend support near 45. The uptrend continuation scenario is slightly more likely at the moment. Shareholders may remain invested with a stop-loss at 50.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

CIEN - The short-term outlook remains bearish and a drop to the 5.75-6 range appears likely. Short positions may be considered with a price target of 5.75-6 and a stop-loss at 6.64 ( 20 dma ). The weak outlook would be negated only on a close above 6.64 on heavy volume. The long-term trend is bearish.

The global economic slowdown

The New Year is coming up fast and no hopes for a better economical environment are in perspective. During 2008 we saw a sharp deterioration of conditions in financial markets initiated by the sub-prime crisis. In a global economy, and building on the complex connections between different markets, the absence of a solid financial system will bring inevitable setbacks in the growth of the real economy. The complete rupture of the channels for granting credit on a global scale will have unpredictable consequences on global economic growth. The recovery of the economies after a crisis in the banking system is generally slower as a result of the transmission mechanisms of monetary policy does not work as expected. Thus, I believe the growth of economies will only appear and accelerate just in 2010, supported by an improvement in the conditions of access to credit and, secondly, the relief in prices of food and energy goods, which should provide for an acceleration consumption. At this moment the economy environment we're in is extremely tough, and unfortunately, I can't see the bottom nor to predict a good beginning of the year for financial markets.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

CTX - The short-term trend is up. The immediate target is 13-13.21, which was achieved on the past week. The price has reversed from here. The stock should be bought only on a close above $13, as it faces strong resistance at that level. The uptrend continuation scenario remains more likely at the moment, however a stop-loss at is necessary at $10.13.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

Downward bias in JDSU. The stock failed to close above the resistance level of $4.10 last week. This resulted in a sharp drop on today session. The recent price patterns suggest that the downward move started on Monday could continue. A decline to the 3-3.10 range appears likely. Shareholders who prefer higher risks may hold with a stop-loss at $3.18. Fresh buying may be only considered on a close above $4.12.

Stocks to watch next week - RIMM, CNC, TSO, HUN

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

RIMM broke the downtrend line on strong volume and could eventually rally up to test the November highs. However there is a strong resistance to break before move to $50 zone, the 50- day moving average at $45,85. Technical indicators remain slightly bullish as MACD momentum drifts higher near recent highs in positive territory, MACD histograms drift higher the 0 level and RSI moves up. Let's keep an eye on it.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

HUN - The price movement in the last couple of days indicates that the stock has formed a short-term bottom at $3. A move to the 3.70-4 range appears likely. On the other hand, a close below 3.30 would be an early sign of weaknes.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

CNC - Looking at the daily chart the near-term outlook is very positive and a move to the Rs 21-21.47 range appears likely. The stock broke the downtrend line on heavy volume. Exposures may be reduced on an evidence of resistance at this range. The uptrend continuation scenario is slightly more likely at the moment. Shareholders may remain invested with a stop-loss at 18.11.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

TSO - The technical daily chart shows the stock has been on a downward trend in the recent weeks. It staged a reversal on Wednesday. Hold with a stop-loss at $10. The shortg-term outlook is bullish and the stock could seek higher levels of 14-15. Fresh exposures may be considered on a move above 11.86.

The economical problems are not behind us

The index of the U.S. economic indicators fell 0.4% in November, the fifth time in seven months, indicating that the U.S. economy will continue to deteriorate in the coming months. The index of economic indicators, calculated by the Conference Board, is a measure of the direction the U.S. economy should follow within three to six months. The index fell 0.4% in November, after having fallen 0.9% in October, released today by the U.S., according to Bloomberg. This indicator confirms the forecasts of economists that the recession in the United States will be the largest since the Second World War with banks limiting credit, the value of shares and real estate will fall and unemployment will rise. The economical problems are not behind us like many people are saying, the worst may be in front of us.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

OCR - Very bullish action on Omnicare this week. The stock firmed around 22-23 and then broke out with three days of high volume. Further strength above $26 opens the door to $28. The technical chart shows positive sign as the stock has just rose above the 200 day moving average. In addition with MACD above 0 we should see more upside from this stock. Put her on your radar.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

RCL is starting to show signs of acumulation with high volume on upside days and low on dowside days. The technical chart shows the stock is in a short term bull market rally with MACD on top of signal line and K line on top of D line. The near-term outlook would depend on the price movement in the next few days. A close above $12.50 would impart bullishness and would help the stock move to the 14-16 area. A drop below 11.16 would have negative implications that would push the stock down to the 10-9.56 range. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. operates in cruise vacation industry worldwide.

Solar Stocks Shine - LDK, ESLR, FSLR

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

FSLR - The stock closed above its 50-day moving average today on heavy volume for the first time since early September, which is usually a good signal for the short term. The stock is now on the uptrend and with K line now on top of D line First Solar shares have the chance to go much higher from here. If 126.72 holds, next resistance is 160.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

ESLR - The shares have been on a small rally recently with K line on top over D line. The stock overall is still weak with 50 day moving average now below 200 day moving average.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

LDK opened weak and closed strong to form a bullish engulfing pattern. A break above $15 turns the trend Bullish. The shares have been on a rise recently as K line is on top of D line indicating a buy signal.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Wednesday - PAAS, BBY, RMBS

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

RMBS remains in a clear uptrend, but there were three days of increasing volume and this stock is way overextended. The technical chart shows positive sign as the stock is now trading above 50 day moving average with KD rising and MACD now above 0. Recent surge may spur profit taking near the 200 DMA but for the short term is looking good.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

BBY - After breaking out from its bearish descending channel the stock has made a strong run topping it off with todays strong rally on increased volume.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Tuesday - GET, SLB, SQNM

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

SQNM - From the technical chart both MACD and KD are showing bullish sign as MACD is rising near 0 while KD is crossing up again. The stock might test $21 level in the short term if it is able to sustain above $19 .

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

SLB has been trying to bottom for a couple of days now. There have been some pretty bullish candles forming and it seems to me like it is ready to turn up. If not, at least there is a clear area to put in a stop and scratch the trade. Hold it with a stop loss around $40 area. For people who is out, the buy point will be on the day it blows through $44.24 on heavy volume.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

GET has rallied strongly off of the November Lows. On a short–term basis, the stock is fighting with the 12.58 level, I expect a breakout at any moment on a close basis. In addition, we can see that the relative index is starting to perk up, which supports the thesis for higher prices. Remain invested with a stop loss at $9.38.

Stocks to watch next week - EXM, NETL, GOOG, FSLR

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

FSLR - Despite the overall bullish market sentiment, the stock registered a decline of 15 percent from the previous week's close. A close above $128.14 would impart a positive undertone while a drop below $110 on a close basis would impart bearishness. Remain invested with a stop loss at $110.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

GOOG - Looking at the daily chart the near-term outlook appears positive. A move above the near-term resistance level of $323.47 would help the stock touch the immediate price target of $340-372. Only a drop below $287.30 would negate the positive outlook for Google.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

NETL - - The stock might face a period of sideways action while it consolidates the gains booked in the last sessions. The stock will face short to medium term resistance at $20.05 ( 50 DMA ). Once this level is crossed with good volumes, the stock can go to $23,26.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

EXM - The stock has been in a correction phase after a strong upside movement. Only a drop below $5.80 on a close basis would negate the positive outlook for Excel Maritime Carriers shares. Existing holders may remain invested with a stop loss at $5.80. On the other hand, any close above $8.88 would have major positive implications from a long-term perspective.

Russia In Recession


After US, Germany, Italy and many others countries, now has come the time of Russian Government admits that the country is also technically in recession. "The recession started" said the responsible government, to explain that there has been a drop in production for two consecutive quarters. "In October, he added, began a major slope and the same will happen in November and December. For now, there is no data available on the index of industrial production for November." According to Klepach, "until the end of this year, the increase in industrial production in Russia itself may decelerate to about 1.9% compared with 4.7% originally planned." Klepach said that the increase of Gross Domestic Product will be this year, lower than the official forecast of 6.8%, but refused to announce new estimates. Between January and September 2008 the Russian economy grew 7.3%, four tenths below the original forecast of the Ministry of Economic Development. The year of 2009, promises to be one of the worst years since the crisis of 1929.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Friday - JPM, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

JPM - The ascending wedge pattern I've followed in the JPM's chart for the past several days has finally been broken to the downside. What does this mean for tomorrow's action ? Well, normally a close near the lows of the day such as we saw today leads to a lower close the following day. This is usually a sign of bearishness. In addition, the Stochastics indicator showed the %K line crossed below the %D line when both values are above the 80% level, creating a sell signal. A move to the $27.5-$27.75 range appears likely in the near term. Only a close above $33 would reinstate bullishness.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

GS - After the spectacular surge in November, the stock has traded in a narrow converging triangular range for about 3 weeks. Given its past behavior, the quiet move in this stock is not likely to continue, it could be up or down. There is a strong support level at the $67-$68 range. A breach of this range would lead to a sharp decline. For the moment, only a close above $74 would impart a positive trend. Existing holders may remain invested with a stop loss at $67.28.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

C - Although there is a possibility of a rally to the $9-10 range, the near-term outlook does not appear positive. A drop below $7.40 with volume would have negative implications and could push the stock to $6-$6.45 zone. Remain invested with a stop loss at $7.40.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Thursday - BAC,GS, WFC


WFC - Looking at the daily technical chart above, the stock looks somewhat neutral. The stock is trading around 50 day moving average and 200 day moving average as both moving average are tangling with each other. As the moving average indicates, the stock is on a neutral zone and a spike or plunge would defines the trend for the next few months. The only possible negative indicator is KD which is beginning to crossing down.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

GS is starting to show signs of accumulation with upside days and low downside days. Buy the stock only when it moves beyond the resistance level of $74 on a close basis,for a swing trade with a target of $81.19.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

Banc of America shares have been trading in a short-term uptrend since the lows of $9.69. Looking at the daily technical chart, the stock is forming a rising wedge (bearish pattern) with a likely target of around $20. It will be interesting to see if market touches $18.57 or perhaps even $20 in the coming days before a good fall. For now, the technical short-term indicators look favorable for the bulls, however be cautious on all up moves and keep a close eye on the wedge. The moment the wedge is broken, expect good correction. Stay tuned on it.

Italy in recession

Italy is the most recent European country to enter in recession. Early in the morning the Italian institute of statistics confirmed the recession of the country's economy after the GDP has retracted 0.5% in the third quarter of the year against the previous quarter, which is the worst since the last quarter of 1998. Italy joins now the group of European countries that are already in recession as Germany, Sweden or Ireland. I think more countries will join this group in the next months. The economy of the biggest countries in Europe is collapsing faster than I was expecting.

Bear market rally in action

We are living consecutive days of gains in the US indices without fundamental reasons. People are buying stocks just believing they are cheap, But are they really cheap? I’m not convinced at all. The big slowdown in housing, the falloff in retail sales and the vertical drop in the LEI (leading economic indicators) are already signalling a deep recession and more troubles for companies ahead.

The company’s fundamentals keep being under pressure and will continue to deteriorate as profit margins get squeezed from higher costs and the inability to pass those costs on through higher pricing. Everyday more companies cut its forecasts and sales. The longer employment numbers persist, the greater the danger that economic activity will contract even further. I suggest that we are under a bear market rally instead a new start of a bull market. The current rally is nothing more than a bear market rally and nothing more. The momentum behind it has been terrible, which is further evidence of more trouble ahead. Be careful with your long positions, the coming days for the economy will be even worse than currently are and we might see a test of a low before a new fundamental and real bull market starts, that's my opinion but only time will tell if I'm right. The markets are now moving just on hopes. Be careful!!!

Here is the trade Idea for Wednesday - Texas Instruments !!!

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

Shares of Texas Instruments gained 5 percent today after the company late Monday said it expects to report fourth-quarter earnings of 10 cents to 16 cents a share, compared with a previous forecast of 30 cents to 36 cents a share. Things to focus on technical chart is the huge spike in volumn in today session. Probably It marked the end of the slide and beginning of bottoming. Although both 50 day and 200 day moving averages are falling, the rising KD shows the stock is probably now in recovery mode. TXN looks like it is ready to resume the resistance line. If stock breaks above mentioned resistance prices then further upside is expected. Let's keep an eye on it.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Tuesday - CSCO and AMZN,

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

AMZN - Amazon shares have been trading in a nice uptrend channel since the lows at $34.68 were placed in November 2008. The daily technical indicators remain positive for now with MACD above the sell line and the RSI above 50. Channels are extremely important as upper and lower trendlines represent key pivot points. A break below the uptrend channel could signal the end of this rally, so hold the stock with a stop loss order under the lower line. Resistance of this uptrend channel is now at $53.24.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

CSCO broke up today through the downtrend line resistance. Technical chart shows bullish sign with K line on top of D line and MACD on top of signal line. A move towards the Rs $17.52-$18.30 range appears to be on the cards. At the moment, only a drop below $16.11 would negate the short-term bullish outlook. Remain invested with a stop loss at $16 while fresh buying may be considered on a close above $17.52.
