The Smallcap Stocks Bubble is Ripe to Burst / Companies / Financial Crash
By: Graham_Summers
I’ve been pounding the table that stocks have entered “bubble-mode” for months now. All the generalized signs are there, including:
- Investor sentiment creeping back to 2007 levels
- The eight week average insider “sell to buy” ratio at late July 2007 levels
- Stocks overextended, overvalued, and overbought

Bristol-Myers Squibb BMY Correction Appears Complete / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The price pattern and my near-term intermediate-term momentum work argue strongly that Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) finished a corrective downleg at this morning's low of 24.07 off of its Mar 29 high at 27.07. As long as key support between 24.10 and 23.50 contains any acute (forthcoming) selling pressure, the larger base pattern from Sept 2008 remains intact and dominant.

Double-Top in UltraShort Financial SKF ETF / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Mike_Paulenoff
I have no idea where the ProShares UltraShort Financials ETF (NYSE: SKF) might close, but the chart structure below argues strongly that a significant double bottom at 16.68 and 16.94 is in full development, and is now putting upward pressure on the key resistance plateau between 18.30 and 18.60. If and when hurdled, this will trigger upside projections of 19.50-20.00 and then 21.60-22.00. Such a scenario will indicate that the financial sector has established a significant near-term top (SKF bottom) formation.

An Update On Philip Morris: Earnings, Buybacks, Dividends / Companies / Healthcare Sector
By: Kevin_Duffey
PM Earnings -
Philip Morris International, Inc. (PM) reported earnings and scored a “miss” according to most analysts. I typically could care less about whether it was a “beat” or “miss” so that’s all I’m going to say about that. The bottom line is that PM has reiterated that it is on track to achieve earnings growth of at least 10% and bring in EPS of $3.75 to $3.85 for 2010. Based on 2010 EPS of $3.75, a $50 stock price means a price-to-earnings ratio of 13.3.Read full article... Read full article...

U.S. Companies Profiting from China's Economic and Consumer Boom / Companies / China Economy
By: Tony_Sagami
March 24 was the last time I told you that the Wall Street experts have been and still are underestimating the strength of the Chinese economy. Here is what I said:
“I’ve been regularly and consistently telling you that the Chinese economy is doing much better than the mass media and Wall Street ‘experts’ have been telling you.”

Goldman Sachs Fraud and ETFs / Companies / Exchange Traded Funds
By: Ron_Rowland
Last week the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission filed a civil lawsuit against Goldman Sachs (GS) alleging fraud. And the news hit Wall Street like a volcano!
Of course the SEC sues companies all the time. Goldman Sachs isn’t just any company, though. Goldman is big — very big — a financial Godzilla with unmatched power and vast political influence.

Goldman Sachs "Financial Fraud!" What a Happy Noise. Revenge is Sweet / Companies / Credit Crisis 2010
By: Mike_Whitney
Schadenfreude. The pleasure derived from watching someone else suffer. It's human nature and it's what's what's driving the Goldman pile-on. SEC Enforcement director Robert Khuzami had barely uttered his statement on Friday, before the the yelps of joy arose from every corner of the country. "Fraud!" What a happy noise. Revenge is sweet. Suddenly the prospect of subpoenas, indictments, and long prison sentences didn't seem so remote. But don't get your hopes up. Goldman was picked for a reason, and that reason has nothing to do with its shady business transactions. It's politics.

Double Top for Goldman Sach's Stock / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Mike_Paulenoff
We discussed the near- and medium-term chart work on Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) during last evening's live Webinar. In a nutshell, GS has carved out a potentially lethal Double Top formation between last Oct. (193.60) and last week (186.41), with the critical breakdown plateau at 150-147.80. Should GS violate and sustain beneath the support plateau, the measured downside target is 110-100.

Bad Banks, Are There More Cockroaches in the Kitchen? / Companies / Credit Crisis 2010
By: Hans_Wagner
If you have you ever seen a cockroach in the kitchen, you know there are more than what you see. The same concept applies to improper financial activity by companies. When you find one bad action, you will more than likely find others. The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) is suing Goldman Sachs for failure to disclose “vital information” regarding a synthetic collateralized debt obligation, named Abacus 2007-ACI.

Sell the Homebuilders into Strength as SPX 500 Tests Highs / Companies / Housing Stocks
By: Richard_Gateway
As the SPX 500 rallies from the shallow correction Autobottrading.com warned of on April 15, the homebuilders are also trading higher, to levels where risk for investors is great. The Philadelphia Housing Sector Index ($HGX) has breached this year’s highs and is up, as of this writing on April 20th, over two percent. Despite the bullish price action, the sector is reaching very long term resistance levels which will likely halt and reverse the bullish advance which began last March. Autobottrading.com advises investors, long term position traders, and swing traders to use this strength to exit positions in the housing sector.

Going After Goldman: A Crackdown on Financial Crime or a Kabuki Play Maneuvre to Avoid Bringing Criminal Charges / Companies / Credit Crisis 2010
By: Danny_Schechter
Fox Business News was engrossed in interviewing a blonder than thou reality TV bimbo when the news that the Securities And Exchange Commission was filing fraud charges against Goldman Sachs broke on Friday afternoon.
The breaking news bulletins were already flying through cyberspace before the Fox Means Business network got around to moving from a snickering interview with a starlet confessing to commodifying and monetizing her appeal to the biggest story in months on the Street beat. Corporate fraud allegations seem to make free market boosters nervous.

Ford and Toyota, A Tale of Two Car Companies / Companies / Sector Analysis
By: Richard_Shaw
It’s spring time and we’re thinking about maybe getting a new car. That and the recent problems at Toyota, plus the strong sales at Ford, and the not to distant bankruptcy of GM and Chrysler, got us wondering how the car company stocks are doing — not that we are hot to own car company stocks (although we are hot to own a new car).

The End Game for the Goldman Sachs (GS) "Crisis" / Companies / Banking Stocks
By: Trader_Mark
If you are new to the market and think today was some sort of game changer... please don't worry. Malfeasance is now the root of the US casino, we go through one of these episodes every 3-5 years and come back stronger and more malfeasant! (I made that word up) That said, days like today are for enjoyment since they break up the normal - any day Goldman stock falls and Cramer gets exposed by a man never to see the CNBC light of day ever again is a day to cherish. But it changes nothing.
