Börsipäev sai täna alguse tavapärasest pisut hiljem, aga pole hullu : )
Mis nüüd tänasesse USA turgu puutub, siis olulist liikumist näeme kindlasti kell 15.30 avaldatava tööjõuraporti peale. Eelmine kuu kadus esialgsete andmete kohaselt 62 000 töökohta, juulilt oodatakse ca 75 000 töökoha kaotamist. Eilsete esmaste töötu abirahade väga suure numbri taustal on kindlasti paljud kartmas negatiivset tööjõuraportit. Kui uudised on vähegi talutavad, siis usun positiivsesse reaktsiooni. -
Turgudele on täna mõju avaldamas General Motors'i (GM) oodatust halvemad Q2 tulemused, mis on aktsia hinna saatnud ligi 8%-lisse langusesse. Ettevõtte teatas massiivsest $15.5 mlrd suurusest kahjumist, millest $9.1 mlrd moodustasid restruktureerimiskulud ja mahakandmised. Neid arvestamata oleks kahjumiks tulnud $6.4 mlrd ehk $11.3 aktsia kohta. Käive langes aastatagusega võrreldes 18% $38 miljardini.
Kuigi ettevõtte püüab kulusid kokku hoida tööjõu vähendamisega, keskenduda arenevatele turgudele ja täiustada tooteportfelli ökonoomsemate autode suunas, ei ole vähemalt seni see strateegia edu toonud. Siiski on GM'i finantsjuht investoreid rahustamas öeldes, et firmal on piisavalt likviidsust ($21 mlrd raha ja $5 mlrd krediiti) raskete aegade üleelamiseks.

Co issues in-line guidance for FY08, sees EPS of $1.75-2.00, excluding non-recurring items, compared to previous guidance of $1.80-2.30, vs. $1.89 consensus. Co's Board of Directors has authorized the co to repurchase of up to 1.0 mln shares. -

Patrick Schultz on RealMoney all Venemaa negatiivset palet demonstreerimas:
Lenin is smiling in his grave these days as the "commanding heights" of the Russian economy are quickly coming back under government control.
Moscow has introduced yet another policy agenda to further renationalize major components of the economy. Mother Russia is forming a large state-owned grain company through the seizure of smaller privately held companies. It aims to recreate the former state-trading system that was dismantled with the fall of the Soviet Union.
Foreign diplomats in interviews to the media say that Moscow bureaucrats plan to use the current Agency for the Regulation of Food Markets and transform it into a major global trader. The new entity will control between 40 and 50 percent of Russia's grain exports.
In the Putin era, Russia has aggressively moved towards forming large state-owned giants in energy, metals, and even aircraft.
The only thing missing is the restoration of the hammer and sickle flag. -
Bear Claws Still Out This Morning
By Rev Shark

The superior man perseveres long in his course, adapts to the times, but remains firm in his direction and correct in his goals.
--I Ching
The market mood continues to swing wildly and is quite grim this morning as we await the monthly jobs data. Yesterday's reversal put a damper on a big two-day move and we are contemplating a massive loss from General Motors (GM) this morning, and a number of somber earnings reports elsewhere.
The mid-week rally did what all good bear market rallies do: it sucked in some cash from the overly hopeful. Ultimately, what makes bear markets so agonizing is the cycle of false hope and disappointment.
Eventually, investors just get worn out, throw in the towel and give up. That is when the bottom finally comes, but it is grueling process. As I've often said, bear markets don't scare you out, they wear you out.
Our job in this sort of market is to persevere. I promise you that better times will eventually come and we will be nicely rewarded if we don't give up.
However we have to be zealous in protecting our capital and avoiding trouble. We can't get sucked into the serial bottom-calling or the premature hope that the business media loves to celebrate.
I have absolutely no idea how long this market will struggle, but I do know we will have some tradable rallies and some short term opportunities -- if we stay flexible and don't kid ourselves into buying for the long term too early.
In a market like this, it is tremendously important to have clarity as to your approach and time frames. The easiest way to get in trouble is to let investments that have gone wrong push you into thinking you should take a Warren Buffett-like approach to the market.
I don't want to sound overly grim as we await the jobs report. We may indeed see some further market upside in the near term. but we just can't lose sight of the fact that the market is still caught in a major long term downtrend and we are completely lacking in any good leadership right now.
Yes, financials have bounced and maybe some of those big banks have seen their lows, but that doesn't mean the overall market is going anywhere soon.
We have a rocky start this morning. Overseas markets are weak, oil and gold and trading down. Let's see what the jobs report gives us and we'll go from there.

Lihtsalt lugemiseks üks lugu:
This Indicator Is Right 95% of the Time... It Says Buy!
By Dr. Steve Sjuggerud
Since 1995, this stock market indicator has flashed "buy" on 41 days.
If you'd bought stocks the day it flashed, and simply held three months, you'd have made money 39 out of 41 times – that's 95% of the time!
The largest of the two losses was -1.7%. Meanwhile, the biggest gain was 33% – in three months. The average gain was an incredible 13% in three months. That's not an "annualized" number... 13% is what you would have made in three months.
I tell you this because the indicator flashed again on July 10.
Fortunately, you haven't missed the gains yet...
The stock market is only up about 2% since the indicator flashed. To equal their average 13%gain in "buy" mode, stocks still have to rise another 11% in just over two months.
The indicator is simple. It's from Jason Goepfert, who runs sentimenTrader.
The indicator is simply the difference in "Smart Money" Confidence versus "Dumb Money" Confidence. Jason says:
If the Dumb Money Confidence is at 100%, then that means that these bad market timers are supremely confident in a market rally. And history suggests that when these traders are confident, we should be very, very worried that the market is about to decline.
When the Dumb Money Confidence is at 0%, then from a contrary perspective we should be [buying stocks], expecting these traders to be wrong again and the market to rally.
Jason's "confidence indexes" are built based on real money – what real traders are actually doing.

------------------------------------
In mid-July, the "Dumb Money" (essentially small traders) was remarkably scared. Jason's Dumb Money Confidence Index dropped to 17%. Readings this low are incredibly uncommon. Meanwhile, Smart Money Confidence stood at 67% – a whopping 50-point spread.
Whenever this spread hits 50 points, history says you have a 95% chance of making money over the next three months... with an average gain of 13%.
In general, I've found sentiment indicators are difficult to use as timing indicators. The results look good. But as they say, past performance is no guarantee of future results. It's better to use a sentiment indicator like this one from Jason as a "get ready to buy" or "get ready to sell" indicator.
Still, the timing this month wasn't bad... The indicator flashed on July 10, and the market appears to have bottomed just three trading days later, on July 15. Since then, the market has spent the last two weeks fighting its way into an uptrend. So far, the "up" move has been so weak, we can hardly call it an uptrend yet. But it's trying.
Actually, when you step back and size things up, we're very close to an ideal situation for making money in stocks:
1) Stocks are relatively cheap now... For example, the forward price-to-earnings ratio of the Dow is only 12.5 today.
2) Investors are scared, as Jason's Dumb Money Confidence Index shows.
3) We're just missing the uptrend.
But the market is trying... And Jason's indicator has a formidable track record. In short, we could be close to a great time to buy U.S. stocks.
