SELL OFF on Friday , CRUDE OIL big winner

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

DowJones -1.96%
S&P -1.83%
Nasdaq -2.35%

Friday SELL OFF !!!!!!!

U.S. stocks closed sharply lower Friday with the Dow Jones Industrial Average posting its biggest one-day loss since March 2003, down more than 200 points, after oil high a four-month high and GE and Citigroup earnings disappointed. The Dow was down 213 points, or 2%, losing 2.7% on the week. The Nasdaq composite slumped 54 points, or 2.4%, to 2,447, its biggest one-day decline since September 2003 for a 3% loss on the week. The S&P 500 fell 23 points, or 1.8%, to 1,261 and was down 2% from a week ago.
Dowjones breakout the resistance 10.720 with huge volume on Friday, so perhaps we can down more points during the next week if crude oil continues to go up. MM200 is now at 10.541, so this level could be a very important point for the future of the market.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

February crude closed at $68.35 a barrel on its final trading day, It gained $1.52, or 2.3%, for the session, and closed out the week up 6.9%. March crude rose $1.29, or 1.9% to end at $68.48 Friday. February natural gas rose 37.5 cents, or 4.2%, to close at $9.28 per million British thermal units for the session. The contract closed up 5.6% for the week.
According to chart above we can see that we are now near of 70$ level and I think that level are now inevitable. As a reminder, the NYMEX front contract tested a record high of $70.85 in late Aug 2005.

Have a great weekend !!!!

RAMBUS - it's losing some momentum

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

The great upside of RAMBUS started during this year can be near of the end in the short term, it's my opinion based in the indicators that we can see in the chart.

The company will report there earnings tomorrow after the bell.

INTEL - Profit up but sales & forecast misses

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Intel profit up but sales and forecast misses !!!

Intel reported its fourth-quarter today after the bell and according to report the profit rose 16% but its sales fell short of Wall Street's expectations due to lower-than-expected shipments of desktop computer chips. Intel earned $2.5 billion, or 40 cents a share, compared with $2.1 billion, or 33 cents a share, in the same period last year. Sales rose 6% to $10.2 billion but missed the expectations of analysts. Analysts estimated Intel would earn 43 cents a share, excluding stock option costs. Intel didn't say how much option costs impacted results. Its first quarter sales forecast was also below Wall Street's target, so bad news for the chip sector.
Tecnical Indicators for Intel : MACD + RSI + Fullsto - Bearish
Supports according to the chart above : 24.74 ; 23.79 ; 22.65 ; 22.45

AMD also today was one of the hot stocks of the session of today , after Merrill Lynch cut its rating to "sell" from "neutral" concerning the competition from Intel in 2006. On friday Deutsche Bank lowered its rating on Advanced Micro Devices Inc. to "sell" from "hold". These two downgrades push the stock from the highs of 37.46 to near 32.

Bad News for Global markets - Oil prices climbed past $66 a barrel Tuesday to close at their highest level since late September as Iran's resumption of its nuclear program and violence in Nigeria served to threaten global crude production. February crude added $2.39, or 3.7%, to finish at $66.31 a barrel.

Today Hot stocks

AMD - Advanced Micro Devices was downgraded at Merrill Lynch to sell.

BSX - Boston Scientific Corporation raised its offer to buy Guidant to about $27 billion.

NX - Quanex Corp. raised its first-quarter earnings outlook by 35% Monday, citing better-than-expected results at its building products division and lower scrap costs at its car products division.

Gateway , RAMBUS like a RAMBO , LU warning !!!

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Gateway is really a real hope, as I have mentioned last week!!!
During this week , Gateway up more than 8% and breakout the medium downtrend line, so from here we only have one way to go , UP !!! perhaps close the Gap. who knows !!!
Also on Thursday Gateway have informed the market that have refreshed its notebook line with new models featuring the new Intel® Centrino® Duo mobile technology platform, giving customers the very latest in mobile performance. In addition to the performance enhancements, the new systems feature thin and lightweight designs, long battery life and advanced data, theft and Internet security.
According to the chart above we can see many Bullish Indicators ( RSI + MACD ), however we can have some psychological resistance to break the 3$ level, but I think that will be fast and easy.
The stock is now above the MM50
Resistances : 3.09 and 3.26 Support : 2.85
Also during this week Forbes have upgraded the score for Gateway to 3, that means that Stock shows Strongly Improving Conditions, you can check this information here.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

RAMBUS stock have started the year like a " RAMBO " fast and strong, up more than 100% !!!!

This stock is usually prone to big a swings, and much of it on litigation news, against some big companies as Hynix and now against Micron. Taken together Rambus could attain a $936 million revenue windfall if the court sides with the company.
So, keep this share in your mind . This stock probably can only stop in 35.20, if not perhaps only near 38$, this value was the last upgrade, but at this level I see some dangerous positions for both sides.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Lucent was one of the hotstocks on Friday after warning the market with a slower revenue growth for this year than previously forecast, because of lower sales in the United States and China.

Friday Hot stocks

HPQ - Goldman Sachs raised its rating "outperform" from "in-line".

Iran is "not worried" about its possible referral to the UN Security Council over its nuclear programme, a senior nuclear official told state television on Thursday.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Nasdaq with a new year high at 2320 !!

Nasdaq goes up for the sixth consecutive session and reach the Overbought conditions. We have more space to go up but more limited now as show the Fullstochastic Indicator.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Shares of Alcoa Inc. fell sharply Tuesday as investors reacted swiftly to the giant aluminum producer's unexpectedly weak fourth-quarter earnings.
Alcoa's net earnings for the three months ended Dec. 31, released after the closing bell Monday, came in at 26 cents a share, down from 30 cents in the year-ago period.
Alcoa pinned the weak results on a series of production problems, including hurricane damage to facilities in Texas and Jamaica, and rising raw materials and energy prices, which cut into gains from higher aluminum prices and strong orders from the aerospace sector.
Also today UBS downgraded Alcoa to "neutral" from "buy" a day after the Dow component said its quarterly earnings fell 16 percent.

Alcoa has now a good support near 28$.

General Motors have initiated the recovery

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

General Motors have started a Rebound after have touched on December in the lows of the last 25 years ( 18.33$ ).
This Rebound it is associated with the good news that had been published during last week, one of them was related with the good sales performance in Asia and Latin America, according to the news given by the CEO Rick Wagoner.
"Getting outside of the U.S. market we had a good year, on balance, around the world," Wagoner said preliminary sales figures show GM sold 9.2 million vehicles worldwide. The only other year GM sold more than 9 million vehicles was 1978, he said. GM was particularly strong in Asia, selling more than 1 million vehicles for the first time ever, Wagoner said. GM's market share in the Asia-Pacific region was 5.8 percent. In 2004, GM sold 887,000 vehicles in the region and had a 5.2 percent market share. GM also had its best year ever in Latin America, selling more than 900,000 vehicles, Wagoner said. He said the company is still tallying results in Europe but believes it was a record year there as well.
General Motors Corp. gained as much as 7.7% to $22.41, making it the biggest percentage gainer within the Dow industrials. The stock, a drag on the Dow in 2005, was upgraded by Goldman Sachs to "in-line" from "underperform".
Looking to the chart we can see that the indicators are showing Bullish signals ( MAC + RSI + Fullstoch ), also today we have confirmed the break-out of yesterday ( medium term downtrend line )with very good volume. I see now a resistance at 23.08, and we can see some profit taking near these levels.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Another Big day for Sandisk !!!

We saw today another big rally in Sandisk after the announcement of the deal with Verizon Communications Inc. to sell a flash memory card for mobile phones at Verizon stores, and after the presentation of New Gadgets Unveiled at Trade Show.
Scandisk has reached the Overbought conditions , so perhaps we can have now some profit taking in this levels.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Gateway continues to show some resistance to go up, although that my opinion is that this share is cheap at these levels, because this company is turning to a profit again and growing fast, the only problem of this downtrend I think is related with the Insider Sellers. The company reported a net income of $15.1 million in the third quarter, compared with a $59 million dollar loss in the same period a year before. Gateway also grew 35% in the third quarter in terms of unit shipments, a reversal of the situation a few years ago when Gateway shipments steadily dropped every quarter. The new notebooks come as Gateway is setting out to expand into the corporate market. At present, the company serves mostly consumers and, in the business segment, small businesses, government agencies and schools. During the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show GTW has informed that is is planning to bring high-performance consumer desktop PCs that support Intel® Viiv(TM) Technology to market this quarter. The next generation of Gateway PCs will deliver vast performance and digital media benefits for entertainment and productivity, including next-generation graphics, home-theater-quality audio and enhanced entertainment capabilities.

Average of short term Indicators : HOLD
-According to the chart , we need to break the red line (~2.85 ) to go forward and perhaps now it will close the gap .
- Support : 2.69 and 2.51 Resistance : 2.85 and 3.02

Macro Economic News :

Very Important Macro economic news was released today, weekly Jobless Claims Plunge to Lowest Level in More Than 5 Years, one more reason to believe that the American Economy it's showing very strong performance in the Labor Market and the economy will keep growing at a solid pace. The Labor Department reported today that applications for unemployment benefits dropped by 35,000 to 291,000, the smallest number since Sept. 23 of 2000. This decline of 35,000 claims was much better than Wall Street had been expecting, so the better-than-expected improvement in the layoff picture for last week was certain to raise hopes for a solid performance in job growth for December.

Ciena could be Strongest Performer In Sector In 2006

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

As I have mentioned before this blog will be now written in English. According to statistics of origin of the visitors, most of the traffic is from countries that don't have the Portuguese language as primary, so I think this change will be a form to increase the traffic and to give more satisfation to all people that daily visit my blog. If you have any comment about this change, please inform me and perhaps I will put a translator to translate this blog from English to other languages. I'll appreciate your kind understanding and cooperation.

CIEN is one of my top picks for this year, I see some good reasons to keep this stock in my porfolio.
Good commentaries was given by some analysts during December that can leave more confortable some investors.

- Ciena Could Be Strongest Performer In Sector In 2006
Credit Suisse First Boston analyst Paul Silverstein said Ciena could see "meaningful future revenue growth and profitability" from its status as a "preferred supplier" for BT Group's planned "21st Century Network."
The analyst said he expects there will be "an approximate two- to three-quarter delay between product shipment and revenue recognition by Ciena," resulting in the company recognizing revenue around the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.

-Standard & Poor's Equity Research analyst Kenneth Leon maintained a "hold" rating on Ciena after the company successfully completed contract negotiations to be a preferred supplier for BT Group's next-generation IP-based network.
Leon said in a research report that he views "BT as an important contributor to Ciena's transport and switching segment sales in fiscal 2006 (ending October)." The analyst expects that segment will be 60% of total sales.

Many reasons to keep this stock in alert.
