Dow Jones Analysis 11/18/08 - Stock Market


Another weak day for the Dow Jones and the overall Stock Market today. Here is Dow Jones technical analysis for 11/18/08 ( November 18th, 2008 )


This is how I am trading stocks based on the Dow Jones Industrial Average ( DJIA) for tomorrow, 11/18/08. The level 8175 is key to me, so is 8000, so is 7965, and most importantly 7774.


Dow Jones Support and Resistance Levels for 11/18/08


The Dow Jones closed right near Thursday's close around 8275....100 points above the Oct 27th closing of 8175. It looks like we may retest the lows again and I don't think they will hold this time. I could be wrong, but will the buyers show up again at the lows for the 4th time? Ok, so if we break 8175 i'm out of everything and will watch....if we get some buying, I will quickly get back in. If the selling persists, I will get back out. If we take out 7965 that will be really bearish and I will look for 7800 to hold....if that doesn't hold, you could be looking at the Dow Jones testing 7000. One more final plunge this could really rattle things. Will Carter Worth be right about these lows holding? Will the Hogan bottom hold? These questions should be answered somewhat this week or next!

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 8273.58 on 11/17/08, as investors sold stocks after the G20 summit was a bust and the fact that the financials continue to be weak. The Dow Jones Futures was actually down around 200 this morning but some buying came into the market during the afternoon hours. Top Stock Market Headlines for November 17th, 2008 include Citigroup ( C ) debating whether or not to cut another 50,000 jobs. General Motors ( GM ) hopes to get a bailout, and Research in Motion ( RIMM ) is up 8% today due to the company seeing continued smart phone strength. Mark Cuban was also accused of Insider Trading in Mamma.com ( MAMA now CNIC ). I always wondered why Mamma.com changed its name to Copernic several years ago. Baidu.com stock got crushed today due to a report out that the search engine is doing some shady things. From what i've read, Baidu is going to come out with a statement tomorrow and depending what they say, the stock could rebound. Thats pretty much what happened in the stock market today. Light volume, lots of selling, not many buyers, same old ugly story!

Mark Cuban Insider Trading 11/17/08 MAMA

Mark Cuban was charged with insider trading November 17th, 2008. The Dallas Mavericks Basketball owner has been charged with selling 600,000 shares of Mamma.com ( MAMA ) right before the company was going to dilute shareholders by selling MAMA stock to raise capital. The Billionaire avoided a 750,000 loss. Yes, I used to trade Mamma.com ( MAMA ) and made a lot of money on it back in the day, but I always thought there was some shady activity going on with the stock. A few years ago I heard on CNBC from David Faber that Mark Cuban responds to every email that he receives from fans of about any topic. I decided to bring up an old topic, Mamma.com ( MAMA ) now called Copernic (CNIC). I emailed Cuban and asked him why he ever got involved in Mamma.com and what he saw in the company. Also, I asked him what made him sell the stock.

I never received a response. I guess he only responds to 99.99999% of all emails.

Las Vegas Sands ( LVS ) Going Concern 11/17/08

Today, 11/17/08, Las Vegas Sands ( LVS ) has removed its going concern red flag.

Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) today announced that it has reissued its 2007 audited financial statements as part of an amendment to its currently effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3. The reissued 2007 audited financial statements reflect that, in light of the company's recently completed $2.1 billion capital raise and the adoption of its updated development plan, the company believes that it has sufficient liquidity and capital resources to both fund its ongoing operations and to execute its updated development plan.

The filing also reflects an updated opinion by the company's independent accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, reporting that as a result of management's recent actions, including the recently completed capital raise and the adoption of the updated development plan, the substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern has been removed. No wonder someone bought 24,000 December calls last week!
