NYX Earnings Could Impress

January 31, 2007

I think NYSE Group (NYX) has a very good shot at impressing the street with earnings. The stock struggled in late December but held up thanks to its 50 DMA, or daily moving average. Now the stock sits once again at its 50 DMA, and with earnings due out Friday morning, fireworks could be around [...]

SHLD Stock Breakout Looming?

January 31, 2007

I love the setup that Sears Holdings (SHLD) has assembled here over the last few months. Looking at the most recent base that is developing, the lower average volume is perfect for a setup.

FXI Chart Discussion

January 30, 2007

Looking at the chart of Ishares China (FXI), it has had a wild run the last few weeks. After topping out at $118.04 the fund sold off heavily, falling all the way to test $100 support not some 6 trading days later. Since though there has been decent support, and it seems the fund may [...]

GLW Chart Discussion

January 30, 2007

I like this setup that Corning Inc (GLW) is putting together. The stock isn’t in the hottest of industry’s right now, but the technicals look nice for a short term play. After trading over 65 million shares just last week and surging to nearly $21, the stock has started to fall back naturally on lower [...]
