Rally Loses Steam Stock prices surged following today's much stronger-than-expected consumer confidence data, then proceeded to drift lower and finish marginally higher. Several Fed speakers issued dovish comments and durable goods orders rose for the third straight month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 72 points (0.7%) to 10,353, the S&P 500 index rose 7 points (0.6%) to 1138, and the Nasdaq Composite was 12 points (0.6%) higher at 1824. Airline, semiconductor and basic materials shares paced the gainers while telecom and utility shares stood out among the losers. Volume on the Big Board was 1.2 billion shares as 1.6 billion shares changed hands on the Nasdaq.
Yesterday's bounce to resistance does not erase the previous day's breakdown. The stronger market averages (Russell 2000 and S&P) are testing support, but the big stock averages are sinking. Sentiment still appears to be bullish but that can reverse rather quickly. Expect another down day. These are not recommendations, only opinions: GIS - General Mills - Buy Stock brokeout of a 2 month base, MACD bullish divergence started in early Feb, expect possible resistance @ 49.50 area. Support around 47.75 Target @ 52.75 NET - Network Assoc. - Short Stock developed a 3 month triple top, broke through support @ 25.00, gapped down below 23.00, expect retracement through gap @ 24 resistance area. Stop @ 24.75 Target @ 17.50 MCD - Buy VPI - Short Let me know if anyone has looked at these positions.
Seanote, what is your target n MCD? Is it around 28.50? When do you see this happening? Just started learning so a few pointers would be nice. Thanks, Tuna
Tuna, Indicators dictate buy down to $42.50. This is a longer term play. The stock bounced off support last Thursday and has now seen a strong move starting up again with a primary long term trend. Target @ 60 - 70
