Stock Market Futures

The Dow Jones had a nice day early but then failed after the Chrysler announcement. The Dow still has not closed over the 8190 high from April and everytime it gets above 8200 it is sold. At this point, 8000 now becomes a critical support level as we await the stress test results on Monday. For More Technical Analysis - Go Here

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 8168 on 4/30/09, as the stock market rose in the morning and then fell on the Chrysler bankruptcy news. The Dow Jones Futures were up over 100 points this morning on a technical breakout which formed yesterday, hitting 8307 at one point today. As soon as the Chrysler news was official, stocks began to sell off. On a technical note, the Dow Jones failed to close over the previous 8190 April high for the second straight day.

MGM Mirage ( MGM ) was one of the hottest stocks today as the company announced they will get funding for one of their casino projects. MGM will be an active stock on Friday with over 70 million shares traded today.

Stocks to Watch - 5/1/09 - Stock Market Ideas

Fianancials: The Financial Bull ( FAS ) tested $9 Thursday but failed at $8.91. FAS is now back to support around $8.50. On the downside, $8 must now hold or it could be back to retest $7. I stopped trading FAS and FAZ as the stress test results are due out on Monday and don't want to get caught in a position. I will resume trading these on Tuesday.

MGM Mirage (MGM) - MGM stock exploded higher after the open, touching $9.94. $8 was then tested twice with a low of $7.90. At 2:30pm Thursday, MGM was back at $8.60. This will be an active stock tomorrow so I will surely be trading it again. For a trade, I like pullbacks to $7.50 or a break back through $9.
