CNBC teatel võib MBI saada täna kuulujuttude kohaselt reitingu langetuse osaliseks, mis annaks finantssektorile ja kindlasti ka kogu turule negatiivse fooni. Tasub silma peal hoida.

Get Ready for a Breakout -- or a Breakdown
By Rev Shark

Do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but does not make any progress.
-- Alfred A. Montapert
Recent market action is much like a rocking horse. We keep moving back and forth and going nowhere. Technically, this action has given as a very clearly defined trading range and has everyone focused on which way are going to break.
The bulls argue that we have stopped going down and are building good support that is promising for an upside resolution. The bears say that a trading range within a downtrend has a great likelihood of breaking to the downside rather than reversing upward.
My tendency is to side with the bears and look for a downside breakdown. I have a hard time embracing the bullish argument that the market has already priced in the worst. It seems like every day there is a new alphabet soup of debt issues, and there is still a large contingent of market players who think we will escape the clutches of a nasty recession. I'm simply not convinced that that bad news has been bad enough and that we can resist the power of gravity that exists within a downtrend.
One scenario I'm keeping firmly in mind is what Helene Meisler suggested yesterday, which is a failed move to the upside before we break to the downside. That is the sort of thing that the Market Beast loves to do in order to dole out the most pain to the most people.
Inversely, a fake breakdown is also something we must make sure we keep in mind as this trading range resolves itself. When trading ranges are as obvious as the present one is, there is much greater danger that there will be false breakouts as traders become increasingly aggressive in trying to get a jump on others. Everyone wants to catch the breakout or breakdown, and that makes for lots of spiky moves.
Although I'm leaning toward a downside breakdown, the good thing is that I need not make any big bet on that scenario at this point. I'm sitting on a lot of cash and have the luxury of simply watching the action and reacting as things develop. I don't need to be wildly bullish or bearish. I can be opportunistic and wait to make my moves as things begin to move.
The most important thing you can do at this point is to understand the environment and to have a plan in mind for how you will deal with it as it unfolds. If we break down, what moves are you going to make? Are you going to raise cash, dump positions or aggressively short? If we continue to hold and show signs of turning up, what stocks are you going to buy, and what time frame will you use?
I don't know how things will play out, but I do know that there are going to be some good opportunities for those who are ready.
We have a flat to slightly down start to the day, which is a change after three days of gaps of more than 1%. Overseas markets were mostly soft, and oil and gold are trading up.

Merryll langetas FNM ja FRE reitingut "müü" peale seoses krediidiprobleemidega.
-
Ja mõlemad turu alguses tugevas languses!
-
Moodyse andmetel võib oodata kommertsvõlakirjadele rohkem reitingute tõstmist, kui langetamist 2008 aastal.
-
Ja ka järelturul turud tugevas rallis ülespoole.
-
Päeva lõpus oli "short squeeze" ?
-
Eile tehti siis sellist päevalõppu ja ei ühtki kommentaari LHV poolt selle kohta.
Kuidagi nigelaks on päevafoorumid jäänud viimasel ajal. Rohkem liiklust, poisid. -
Kuna tõus tehti põhimõtteliselt 25 minutit enne turu lõppu, siis kirjeldasin antud tõusu põhjusi Börsipäeva järelvaates!
-
jyriado, eks mõni päev võib aeg-ajalt sisu tõepoolest vähem olla. Sedapuhku 'süüdlaseks' minu nädala lõpu pisike puhkus... Aga kõik tähtsamad asjad saavad siin siiski ära kajastatud, kas või tagantjärgi.
