TODAY’S STOCK MARKET DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE DJI, S&P 500, NASDAQ INDEX TRENDS, NOTES January 20th, 2011 Close

Through the halfway point in today's trading session, stock index composites
were posting in the red. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Nasdaq, and the
S&P 500 were all trending in negative territory up to this point. Trends were
pulled lower despite more positive economic reports at home. China's economic
growth and inflation potentials related to this grow, are causing worries to
persist in the minds of many economic analysts. Here, the number of Americans
filing for first time unemployment insurance fell lower to 404,000 this week.
This number is positive in that it is 37,000 less than it was just one week ago
and better than what many economists had been anticipating. Sales of existing
homes moved higher as well and beat out original expectations. The National
Association of Realtors reported that existing home sales rose 12% in December.
This is positive news for a sector that has been struggling and in need of a
positive boost. Earnings reports came in today as well. Morgan Stanley reported
that price per share increased to 43 cents and total revenue rose 14%. Wendy's
and Arby's shares moved higher today too. The dollar gained strength today

Google’s Shakeup Casts a Shadow

Heading into earnings season, it was a concern for investors as to how easily the big guns in the tech sector would surpass Wall Street estimates. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) delivered the goods on Tuesday, and late Thursday, so did Google (NASDAQ: GOOG ). The search giant said after the closing bell that it posted fourth-quarter earnings of $8.75 a share on revenue of $6.37 billion — both figures that blew past analysts’ expectations by a wide margin. But Google also delivered something else — news that it would shake up its management structure, moving co-founder Larry Page into the CEO role, while current Chief Executive Eric Schmidt is to become executive chairman, “focusing externally on deals, partnerships, customers and broader business relationships, government outreach” and something called “technology thought leadership.” Investors are now left in a bit of a quandary: here’s the quarter they were looking for, and then some, but future quarters are to likely have less day-to-day input from one of the guys responsible for the success . Google’s after-hours share price seemed to reflect that tug-of-war — the stock was up just 2% in after-hours trading to $639 after falling slightly in the regular session. Similar to Apple’s strong report on Tuesday, however, it may be another case of a company’s incredible success being immune to anybody’s meddling for the foreseeable near-term future. After all, here’s a company — as large as Google is — still able to post nearly a 30% rise in revenue, while its all-important paid clicks, the number of times people click on search results sponsored by advertisers, grew 18% from last year, beating expectations of 15%. What’s more, international revenue alone jumped 52% from a year earlier. Investors are now left with a sort of interesting dual competition between two of the top 5 American companies for the first half of 2011, at least — which high-performing company, Google or Apple, with its CEO, Steve Jobs, on the bench for six months, does a better job of still delivering stellar financial results? As far as that concerns the 2011 fate of the Nasdaq, which has now dropped 2.2% in two days, both companies will need to keep the growth engine revving.

Here is a more detailed look at the news that will affect each company when trading continues. Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC) Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC) has received a new contract from the U.S. Coast Guard. Under the contract worth $89 million, Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC) will supply long-lead materials for the fifth National Security Cutter (NSC). These new cutters from Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC) will replace the 378-ft Hamilton class High Endurance Cutters, which entered into service during the 1960s.

Judy Rice, president of Prudential Investments, the mutual fund arm of Prudential Financial (NYSE:PRU) said, "Along with providing a potential hedge against rising interest rates and inflation, this fund helps improve portfolio diversification since the performance of real assets is not tied to traditional stock and bond investments." Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT) Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) has agreed to become the major sponsor the 2011 AEM Construction Challenge.

Market Selloff Likely to Continue

Current Long Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): None Current Short Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): GLD (136.40) BIAS: 7% Short Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST) : Jobless Claims (8:30 a.m.), Existing Home Sales (10 a.m.), Leading Indicators (10 a.m.), Philadelphia Fed Survey (10 a.m.), EIA Natural Gas Report (10:30 a.m.), EIA Petroleum Status Report (11 a.m.) My Observations and What to Expect: Futures are slightly down heading into the open. Asian markets saw heavy selling, well in excess of 1%. European markets are seeing selling in the range of 0.5% to 1.4%. Positive earnings reports yesterday from Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) and IBM (NYSE: IBM ) represented a “sell-the-news” event. S&P 500 Index currently sits on the 10-day moving average (MA). It did break it on an intraday basis, but held the support level at the close. Evening star formation over the past three days in the market indicates that we are at the very least, seeing a short-term top being put in place. Volume was above average yesterday, but less than what we saw the day prior. The bulls showed no willingness, or even attempted to buy the sell-off yesterday – another sign pointing to a potential breakdown in this market. Despite these bearish observations that are unfolding, there is little in the way of technical damage that has yet to be done to the charts themselves. Even the 10-day MA remains intact. The market will now start showing more sensitivity to bad economic numbers (previously ignored the bad and rallied on the good), so today’s job’s number is very important, and another miss, like last week, could create a repeat of yesterday. On the intraday S&P 500 charts, the upward trend has been broken and a “lower-low" has been put in place (price dipped below the 1280 level). Three price levels/support levels to keep an eye on today (using the S&P): 1280 which represents the 10-day moving average; 1275 which represents the lower support level of the ascending price channel the S&P has been trading in; and 1271, which represents the 20-day moving average (hasn’t traded below it since Dec. 1 when this rally started) 1261 represents the short-term ‘higher-low’. The more long-term trend-line dating back to Sept. 1 currently has support at 1254. For the bears – Follow through, Follow through, Follow through – Squash the dead cat! For the bulls – Bounce, Bounce, Bounce! Hold the 10-day moving average. Here Are The Actions I Will Be Taking : Unlikely I will be initiating any new long trades today, unless the market shows an impressive recovery to yesterday’s sell-off. Initiating one to two short positions is in the cards today, depending on how the market responds to the jobs report and once we dip below the 10-day moving average Focus will also be on day-trading intraday price swings. Follow me in the  SharePlanner Chat-Room today for all my live trades and ideas. The SharePlanner Swing-Trading System is a proven trading strategy that has outpaced all the major indices with an 8-year return of over 1,010%. It's an easy trading system that requires very little effort after you buy the stock and great for those who can't watch the market all the time! Find out more by visiting SharePlanner.com .

Buy Starbucks Calls for Earnings Jump

Watch for Chris Johnson today on CNBC's Closing Bell at 4:20 EST. Next week is huge for earnings. In fact, it's the biggest week of the season, with well over 100 S&P 500 companies on the list, along with nearly half the Dow Industrial 30. We have lots planned for Winning Edge subscribers this season, including many trades played after reports to take advantage of overreactions to earnings numbers. But we're here to hone in on one stock that we've pulled from our Winning Edge trade list.  It's Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX ), the bastion of baristas that's made quite a comeback from the depths of 2008 (the stock has more than quadrupled off that low). SBUX reports after the bell on Wednesday, January 26, with analysts calling for a modest 6 cent (18%) increase from a year ago. We say modest because the company has averaged 70% growth during the past four quarters. And the whisper number is 3 cents below the analyst figure, another sign of lowered expectations. The stock has performed extremely well after recent earnings reports, gaining ground after six of the past seven releases. In fact, the shares have popped an average of 6.3% in just one day following these reports. Currently, the stock is in a holding pattern, stuck in a range between $32 and $33 for most of the past six weeks. The $33 level has been a bit sticky, probably because of heavy call open interest at that strike. But another decent earnings report (SBUX hasn't missed an estimate in seven quarters) could provide the boost the shares need to break into territory last visited in early 2007. Starbucks Chart Sentiment is mixed, meaning that we could see some unwinding pessimism that could translate into buying. The put/call ratio is coming off a peak, suggesting that call activity is gaining strength compared to puts. And 10 of 22 analysts rate the stock a "hold," leaving room for upgrades. With the stock poised for a breakout, earnings amid lower expectations could be just the spark. Jump on board with the SBUX February 33 Call in the range of $1 before SBUX reports next Wednesday.

Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Fourth Week of January

Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends’. This is the process of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend . This technique generally works only in bull markets. In flat or choppy markets, you have to be extremely careful. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can’t sell the stock until after the ex date. The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable Excel list of the stocks going ex dividend during the next week or two. The list contains many dividend paying companies, all with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the market capitalization, the ex-dividend date and the yield. Royal Bank of Canada (RY) market cap: $73.2B ex div date: 1/24/11 yield: 3.9% The Clorox Company (CLX) market cap: $8.9B ex div date: 1/25/11 yield: 3.5% Boardwalk REIT (BOWFF) market cap: $1.9B ex div date: 1/27/11 yield: 4.4% ConAgra Foods, Inc. (CAG) market cap: $9.9B ex div date: 1/27/11 yield: 4.1% Bank of Montreal (BMO) market cap: $32.0B ex div date: 1/28/11 yield: 4.9% Fifth Street Finance Corp. (FSC) market cap: $654.6M ex div date: 1/28/11 yield: 10.7% The additional ex-dividend stocks can be found at wsnn.com. (If you have been to the website before, and the latest link doesn’t show up, you may have to empty your cache.) If you like dividend stocks, you should check out the high yield utility stocks and the Monthly Dividend Stocks at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com or WSNN.com. Dividend definitions: Declaration date: the day that the company declares that there is going to be an upcoming dividend. Ex-dividend date: the day on which if you buy the stock, you would not be entitled to that particular dividend; or the first day on which a shareholder can sell the shares and still be entitled to the dividend. Record date : the day when you must be on the company’s books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks two business days before the record date. Payment date: the day on which the dividend payment is actually made, which can be as long at two months after the ex date. Don’t forget to reconfirm the ex-dividend date with the company before implementing this technique. Disclosure: Author did not own any of the above at the time article was written.
