    FDX FedEx reports Q2 (Nov) earnings of $1.89 per share, excluding $0.25 non-recurring charge related to new labor contract, $0.13 better than the Reuters Estimates consensus of $1.76; revenues rose 10.3% year/year to $8.93 bln vs the $8.94 bln consensus. Co issues downside guidance for Q3, sees EPS of $1.20-1.35 vs. $1.55 consensus. FDX sees Q4 EPS of $1.98-2.13 vs $1.98 consensus. Co issues in-line guidance for FY07, sees EPS of $6.60-6.90 vs. $6.82 consensus. CFO comments, "Earnings for our second quarter were better than forecast primarily due to lower than expected fuel prices, slightly stronger than anticipated growth at FedEx Ground and insurance proceeds related to Hurricane Katrina. Our earnings guidance for the third quarter recognizes a difficult year-over-year comparison, as last year's third quarter benefited from the timing lag that exists between when we purchase fuel and when our indexed fuel surcharges automatically adjust. December 2005 fuel surcharges at FedEx Express and FedEx Ground were set during the period fuel prices had spiked following Hurricane Katrina. We remain optimistic that we will continue to improve full-year margins and returns during a period of moderate economic growth."  

  • Varajased indeksite futuurid on rohelised ning peale eilset selloffi indikeerib see positiivset starti. Hoolimata sellest on lühiajaline nägemus siiski üsna karune. Täna lisan graafikule SAR indikaatori, mis on loodud stop-tasemete selgitamiseks. SAR toimib hästi trendivatel aegadel, kuid võib anda palju valesignaale. Vaadates Nasdaq graafikut näeme, et üsna mitu korda on SAR olnud ülalpool indeksit, mis sisuliselt tähendaks lühikeseks müügi võimalust, kuid tegu on valesignaalidega. SARi valesignaalide leidmiseks võib kasutada Wilderi DMI indikaatoreid. Ehk, juhul, kui DI ristumisi toimunud ei ole, ei ole ka SAR andnud õiget signaali. Näeme, et eilne kukkumine on tinginud SARi lühikese positsiooni stopi ning ka Wilderi indikaator on teinud ristumise. Aga selge on see, et see pole absoluutne tõde. TA järgi on siiski tegu selgelt bearish nägemusega.

    Küünalde jälgijatele on Nasdaq 100 teinud enne eilset allamüüki "Bearish Two Crows" mustri.

  • Nafta varude tänaselt raportilt oodatakse toornafta vähenemist( ca -2mln barrelit) ning seoses pisut soojemate ilmadega ootavad osad turuosalised ka kütuse suuremat kulumist(rohkem autoga sõitjaid). Veebruari nafta futuur on ka plussis - varude vähenemine toornaftas oleks 4. järjestikune.

    Gauging Pullback Odds for Year-End

    "Trust everybody, but cut the cards."
    -- Finley Peter Dunne

    The vast majority of traders seem to trust in the idea that the market is going to hold up and, more likely, move steadily higher into the end of the year.

    There is good support for such thinking: Upside momentum remains strong, the charts are in good shape, a constant barrage of mergers and acquisition keeps sentiment positive, and seasonality is positive. Why would anyone worry about the market now? There are no negatives. We should all be long and riding the momentum train.

    Certainly we shouldn't be wasting our time anticipating great disaster, but that doesn't mean we should be so trusting that we aren't prepared for the conventional wisdom to falter. This is a market unconcerned about and unprepared for a pullback and anyone who has been in the market for a while knows that this sort of complacency is extremely dangerous. That doesn't mean we panic, sell everything and load up on shorts. However, the smart market players remain very aware of the quick damage that can be done when a large faction of the market is caught by surprise.

    I spent some time yesterday looking over charts in the past year and studying the action at the end of December. Although seasonality supports a strong finish, it is by no means a certainty.

    We need look back no further than last year as an example. We had a big rally off the lows of October but topped out on Dec. 13. The Nasdaq was down three of the four days following Christmas and lost 44 points. We had much the same talk then about investors holding up the market and preserving gains, and that resulted in some being caught by surprise.

    I believe there is a good likelihood we could see a similar type of pullback before year-end. I'm not saying the market is going to fall apart and go straight down, but there are so many folks looking for a simple and positive finish to the year that the market beast just has to be licking his chops looking to bite some bull butt.

    We have a slightly positive start this morning following a good day overseas. Oil is up and gold steady. There are a few merger deals on the wires and the tone is generally positive, but has been slipping slightly as the open approaches.
  • Kas keegi oskab kommenteerida GLD käitumist. Täiesti arusaamatu.
  • Toornafta varud vähenesid -6.3 mln barrelit vs oodatud -2 mln
    Distillaatide varud suurenesid +1.2 mln barrelit vs oodatud -0.6 mln
    Mootorkütuste varud suurenesid +1.0 mln barrelit vs oodatud +/-0.0 mln

    Renkler,
    Mis kulda(GLD) puutub, siis hinnatõusule aitaks kindlasti kaasa kõrgemad kütusehinnad ning eilsed Föderaalreservi liikme Fisheri poolt öeldud sõnad, et inflatsiooni tõustes ei jää Fed-il midagi muud üle, kui intresse tõsta.
  • Vabandan. Huvi pakkus QLD imelik käitumine. Peaks plussis olema, aga on 5% miinuses.
  • Kuna tegu on võimendusega kuubikute suhtes ja kuubikud rohelises, siis on ka QLD plussis. Üheks põhjuseks, miks nominaalilt hind langes, võib-olla dividendid...kuigi otsest uudist kohe hetkel ei leia
  • Cloroxi Colgate diil, mis tegelt aktsiat lühiajaliselt diludib, mõjub kuidagi positiivsena
  • Diversifikatsioon on üheks põhjuseks arvatavasti. Mäletamist mööda oli CLX tooteliin suhteliselt tühi. Eile ei langenud ka aktsia eriti UBS kommentaaride peale.
