Libor Rates - 4/08/09
Commodities Closing Prices - 4/08/09
Gold - 882.60
Oil - 49.82
Natural Gas - 3.65
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 7837 on 4/8/09, as the stock market was up today after the 2pm Fed minutes were released and the fact that the financials were weak once again. The day started with home builder Pulte Homes ( PHM ) purchasing Centex ( CTX ) for 1.3 billion. The Dow Jones Futures were down as much as 100 but when the above news was announced, went back to near positive territory. The Dow Jones was up as much as 70 points but then lost ground as Citigroup ( C ) and Bank of America ( BAC ) became weak. There was a rumor out that B of A CEO Ken Lewis will be replaced. Ken Lewis was just on CNBC telling us how everything was so great and now I'm wondering if he was just trying to save his job. If everything was getting better his job wouldn't be in jeopardy. Time will tell!
Tomorrow will be the last trading day of the week as the markets will be closed on Friday. Look for very low stock market volume tomorrow. Check out my stocks to watch report for Thursday. I will have full technical analysis of the stock market tonight - Right Here

Baltic Dry Index Shipping Rates 4/8/09 BDI
The following is a report on Dry Bulk Shipping Rates for 4/8/09. This data is critical for how the DryBulk Shipping Stocks such as DryShips ( DRYS ), Excel Maritime Carriers ( EXM ), Diana Shipping ( DSX ), Genco Shipping ( GNX ), TBS International ( TBSI ), Navios Maritime ( NM ), and OceanFreight ( OCNF ) will trade during the day. As you probably know, the Dry Bulk Shipping index can tell you a lot about the state of the World Economy. When Bulk Shipping Rates are at all time highs, the World Economy is outstanding. When Bulk Shipping Rates are as low as they have been lately, it signifies that the world economy has come to a screeching halt!

Dry Bulk Shipping Rates - April 8, 2009 - Down 21 Straight Days
Baltic Dry Index ( BDI ) - 1463 Down 3
Spot 4 - TC Average - 17497 Up 302
Baltic Cape Index ( BCI ) - 1993 Up 21

Citigroup C Stock 4/8/09 April 8, 2009
The following is a little Citigroup ( C ) stock technical analysis for April 8, 2009Citigroup Support & Resistance Levels - 4/8/09
Resistance Levels: $2.89, $3.00, $3.35, $3.89
Support Levels: $2.65, $2.40, $2.20
Citigroup continues to bounce off and close above both 10 and 50 day moving averages. This is a very bullish sign for the future. Citi had a big run and now is trending sideways instead of giving back the gains. As a trader, I am waiting for a break back above $3.00 to get long Citigroup again. I am also watching for several closes below $2.60 for a sign of more weakness to come.

Dow Jones Analysis 4/8/09 Stock Market Analysis
The following is Technical Analysis for the Dow Jones ( DJIA ) for 4/8/09Dow Jones Support & Resistance Levels - April 8, 2009
Resistance Levels: 8000, 8075, 8300, 8500
Support Levels: 7550, 7450
http://stockcharts.com/ - Chart
The Dow Jones Closed below the 10 day moving average Tuesday as the 8000 level continues to be a major resistance level. The Dow now has three straight sessions with lower lows. Tomorrow will be a very critical day the Dow will attempt to get back above the 10 day moving average and regain momentum. The next solid support level is 240 points lower at 7550 which is the 50 day moving average. I am looking to buy if we get back there. However, I will use a stop at 7450. A close above 8000 would be bullish for more upside. For More Technical Analysis - Go Here

Stocks to Buy April 8, 2009 4/8/09
Tuesday, during regular trading hours, there were many stocks that continued to break out to the upside. Below is a list of stocks that are worth watching for April 8, 2009. Also, check out the Biggest Stock Gainers of the Day. You can also find previous stocks to buy reports - Right Here
Stocks to Watch - 4/8/09 - Stock Market Ideas
Short ETF's: Tuesday, we had the TALF auction come in lighter then expected which spooked Wall Street into thinking this TALF plan isn't working. The Stock Market is going down because of this news and the Short ETF's are exploding higher. Here is a list of Short ETF's to watch tomorrow if the stock market continues to fall.
Financial Bear 3X ( FAZ ) - If market is going up, play Financial Bull ( FAS )
ProShares UltraShort S&P500 ( SDS )
ProShares UltraShort Financials ( SKF )
ProShares UltraShort Dow30 ( DXD )
ProShares UltraShort QQQ ( QID )
Large Cap Bear 3X Shares ( BGZ )
Small Cap Bear 3X Shares ( TZA )
Mid Cap Bear 3X Shares ( MWN )
ProShares UltraShort Real Estate ( SRS )
Penny Stocks To Watch: I will be watching the following penny stock on Wednesday because they were exploding higher on Tuesday:
Adeona Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ( AEN ) - AEN exploded higher Tuesday, I will be watching to see if this stock can trade back above $1.00 tomorrow. See my AEN Article.
Biopure Corporation ( BPUR ) - Biopure received a Nasdaq listing notice so Tuesday's rise could be an attempt to get BPUR stock back above $1.00 for ten straight days. Worth Watching.
Pier 1 Imports ( PIR ) - Pier 1 Imports, Inc. reported earnings Tuesday. This is probably the stock I am paying the most attention to because if PIR breaks through $0.80 today or tomorrow, we could be looking at a retest of $1.00 resistance from the last run up several weeks ago. If PIR closes over $1.00, it could be headed back to the $1.50-$1.75 level. This was a $5 stock back in September 2008.
Other Penny Stocks to Watch Wednesday:
MGIC Investment Corp. ( MTG )
Asyst Technologies, Inc. ( ASYT )
Friedman, Billings, Ramsey Group, Inc. ( FBR )
Aurora Oil & Gas Corporation ( AOG )

The PMI Group, Inc. ( PMI )
Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies ( QTWW )
TXCO Resources ( TXCO )
General Growth Properties, Inc ( GGP )
Stocks above $2 to Watch:
MGM MIRAGE ( MGM ) - I continue to watch this stock now that we finally have a dip. I will look to buy MGM when if it breaks through the high of the day tomorrow after about 9:45am.
Dendreon ( DNDN ) - I continue to watch DNDN, if this stock can get back into the $7's, I will be interested again.
Also Watch:
Gaiam, Inc. ( GAIA )

Textron ( TXT )
Lincoln National Corporation ( LNC )
