Stock Market Futures

The Dow Jones had its first up day in the past 6 trading sessions and it was a nice one at that. My only concern was the late day selling off of 100 points. On the upside, we got close to the first resistance level of 7000 and it was rejected. The rest of the week will be crucial because I believe there is a huge move coming but I just don't know which way as of yet. I feel we will either close over the 10 moving average and rally or break 6700 and go to new lows. Keep an eye on the 10 day moving average! For More Technical Analysis - Go Here

Stock Market Futures

The Nasdaq finally had a great day but we are only back to Monday's high. Keep an eye on the next resistance level at the 10 day moving average which tomorrow will be around 1385. 1400 would also be resistance.
Support at 1315 continues to hold and if we close below 1315 I think we will break 1300 and go to a new 52 week low. For More Technical Analysis - Go Here

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 6876 on 3/4/09, as the stock market went up today for a change. The Dow Jones Futures opened the day higher as China came out and announced an expected stimulus package. The stock market advanced its gains through out the day and exploded higher after 2pm. Oil went back into the $45's while the price of Gold tested $900. In the final 15 minutes of trading, stocks did come off their highs. This is the 4th straight session where in the final 15 minutes we had a notable sell off.

In the final hour, CNBC's Dylan Ratigan commented that there may be a Congressional Hearing on the mark to market accounting rule on March 12, 2009 ( 3/12/09 ). If this rule was suspended temporarily, you could see a gigantic bear market rally. Click Here for all you want to to know about marked to market accounting. FAZ hit a high of $84.51 and has now lost $5 from that high. FAS, which is the financial bull 3X, has reversed from the lows and I actually took a small position in FAS on this news. Pay attention to this story because if they would suspend mark to market, you could see various bank stocks double in days.

Stock Market Report 3/4/09 Wall Street Watch

This afternoon, March 4, 2009, the stock market is getting a lift due to Chinese stimulus package which helped give Asian markets a bounce overnight. Oil is is jumping because of this news as well. Oil prices touched $45 briefly this morning but is now trading at $43.77 per barrel.

Stocks to Watch - 3/4/09


DryShips ( DRYS ) - Drys stock is soaring today on an oversold bounce and the fact that it is finally trading back over the 10 day moving average ( $3.53 ) for the first time since a few days after it topped out in the $17's. This is something to watch very closely! DRYS could be getting ready to make an up move but the stock remains extremely risky. From what I can tell, earnings might come out 3/5/09 after the close. DRYS is expected to report 0.71 cents per share in earnings.

Potash ( POT ) - Potash has really stuck out to me today! It made a daily high this morning at $81.49 and then dropped like a rock starting just after 11am est. Longs better hope the 73.49 low holds or a retest of $70 could be coming soon. After $70, $65 must hold. Today is the first time in many months where you saw strength in the stock market but weakness in POT. Mosaic ( MOS ) is up a bunch today so whoever sold big this morning knows something!!!!

Wells Fargo ( WFC ) - This to me is the most important event which actually just started happening about an hour ago. Wells Fargo ( WFC ) stock has been getting hammered....almost like a hedge fund is attacking it on the short side. This has caused the overall stock market to get weaker. Keep an eye on this stock! WFC hit a high of $11.32 this morning but is now trading just above $9. Is WFC the next shoe to drop?

Bill Gross CNBC 3/4/09 March 4, 2009 GE

Bill Gross, CIO of Pimco, was on CNBC this morning and gave comments on General Electric ( GE ), the TALF program, and the Housing Plan. GE stock was trading at $5.96 but has now rebounded to $6.20 on the following Bill Gross Comments.

Bill Gross CNBC Comments - 3/4/09

GE default rates are rising, what do you see?

I have a technical take on what is happening with GE, you are basically seeing an anticipation of the triple A rating become double A, forced selling ahead of the downgrade. A lot of bonds coming up for sale, widens spreads, signals to the stock market something is wrong. GE is subject to forced selling ahead of downgrade by Sovereign Wealth Funds. We have a lot of GE bonds and it is a very viable company.

Talf Details - what is your view on the TALF Program?

It's a potential trillion in support or more if its successful, consumer loans, credit cards, auto loans. These markets will be supported with Talf.

Housing Plan: Are we coming out of it on Housing?

I think housing is the primary focus right now. - Today's housing plan addresses 2nd lien mortgages before 1st lien and I think that is important.

Stock Market 3/4/09 March 4, 2009 Dow Jones Report

Today, 3/4/09, the stock market futures are indicated higher after the quick sell off at the close yesterday. Oil is really spiking this morning and gold prices are slightly higher.

Last night, there were two companies the the tech sector that disappointed.

- Google Inc. (GOOG) Chief Executive Eric Schmidt said Tuesday the economic situation is "pretty dire," adding that he does not expect to see improvement until 2010
.
"Everyone is assuming 2009 is a tough, tough year. Schmidt struck an optimistic note when discussing Google's opportunities in the mobile search and display advertising businesses. He predicted that mobile search ad revenues would surpass PC-based paid search sales with a "few years," as opposed to a few decades.

Schmidt pointed to Japan as a leading mobile market in which Google has established partnerships with two of the top three mobile providers. He said the company is now attempting to replicate those types of deals, with the "obvious prize" in China.

- Palm Inc. (PALM) warned that its fiscal third-quarter sales would be well below Wall Street expectations, illustrating the rapid decline of its aging product portfolio.

With no new products hitting the market, few were expecting much until the launch of its Palm Pre later this year. But no Wall Street analyst anticipated such a dire performance.

"The much-anticipated launch of the Palm Pre remains on track for the first half of calendar year 2009, but as expected we've got a difficult transition period to work through," said Palm President and Chief Executive Ed Colligan.

If the Nasdaq breaks the 1295 low, it could get really ugly. Just look what happened when the Dow broke 7449 and S&P 500 broke 741.

Check out my technical analysis of the stock market for support levels and resistance levels.
