As Usual, Stocks Push Higher

With stocks continuing to grind higher toward their 2011 peak, it becomes increasingly incredible that the market, as measured by the S&P 500 has not dropped at least 1% since March 15. Ironically, the next day the drop was even more precipitous, sending stocks to their starting level of the year. Since then, it’s been a pretty remarkable run — a 6.2% gain in 15 trading sessions. That run continued Wednesday, not in any spectacular fashion, and in fact, stocks spent a portion of the midafternoon slightly in the red, before, well, doing what they do — rise. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 33 points higher to 12,427, the Nasdaq rose 9 points to 2800 and the S&P 500 added 3 points to 1336. During that time, it’s been difficult to find anything that isn’t working for investors. Energy stocks? Check. Industrials and building materials? Check. Automobiles? Check. And that’s just equities. Lost on no one, of course, has been the parabolic rise in gold and silver, which are each setting all-time and 31-year-highs on almost a daily basis. (They did so again on Wednesday). With such a run in stocks, one can’t help but feel a need to take part in the ride higher while also wondering when said ride will end (or whether it will). But this is a difficult time for skeptics. Whenever it appears there is a crack in the rally’s armor, the forces of momentum gather themselves for another move higher. Any cynical illumination of low breadth or low volume becomes fodder for the next closing high. That’s not to say that those arguments aren’t valid. As we mentioned in this space on Tuesday, the Nasdaq 100, rebalanced or not , does look a little spent, and is actually down from one week ago. And it’s helpful to keep in mind that the broader market also has yet to rise more than 1% since March 21. Volatility has taken a back seat, and it seems difficult to imagine another 6% runup by the end of April without some further tangible reason for it. In the end, the last hope for a market correction of any scale may lie in the banking sector, which curiously hasn’t gone gangbusters while all around it has. The Financial Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLF ) exchange-traded fund, in fact, is still down almost 3% from its 2011 high, and is essentially unchanged from late January. If things are so great, one may still wonder, why aren’t bank stocks participating? On the other hand, why worry about it when easy profits are to be made elsewhere?

The Inside Scoop On My Latest Trade

While this one may be priced a bit outside of what I advertise, GFRE has all the makings of a big payday and for those of you who have been on my list for quite some time, you know I’ve been waiting to strike. I know, I know… the bottom was declared at $5.50 and I had two chances to grab shares there but I just wasn’t ready. Partly because I don’t always put a lot of faith in double bottoms and partly because I just wasn’t ready. Keep in mind, while the extra $.50 cents would be nice on my 3k shares, if this stock does what I think it can do, it’ll just take a bit longer to reach my goal. Seriously, that’s how much margin for error there is on this one and how badly it’s undervalued right now. So today’s entry at $5.96 was calculated on the following information. This isn’t rocket science, China is in the middle of a shit storm right now but I guarantee you some of these stocks are not committing fraud and when the dust settles some shorts are going to lose a lot of money. A. Per the last settlement date of 3/15/11 there is a short interest of 2,383,383 shares which is 8.95% higher than the previous settlement date. With the average daily share volume at 264,353 that would take 9.02 days to cover. B. The market cap on GFRE is right around $200m which means if it opens up, it could move very fast… remember LOCM? C. Gulf Resources sees revenue growth of 24% and net income climbing 27% this year D. GFRE is getting analyst price targets of $10 and while I don’t typically put much weight into analysts hype, I tend to agree with them here So in summary, when you consider the huge short position, price targets and numbers behind this company I think it’s a safe bet for my money as a short to mid term trade. If it squeezes, $8′s and $9′s could be a lot sooner than you’d think for a stock this size. My initial order was for 5k shares but $5.96 ran away from me on the bid so I’ll add to my position tomorrow probably.

5 Facts Behind March Auto Sales

Most auto manufacturers had good reason to crow about March sales figures released last week: volume jumped 17% over the same month last year. Shares of Ford (NYSE: F ) and General Motors (NYSE: GM ) shares – the first and second place finishers in March vehicle sales – rose 4% between Thursday and Tuesday (both were trading down less than 1% on Wednesday. That 17% increase translates into a fairly strong seasonally adjusted selling rate of 13.1 million vehicles.  But while those numbers are good and continue to show a slow, but steady, strengthening in the domestic light vehicle market, they don't provide a complete roadmap of where the industry has been and where it's going.  Here are a few additional pieces of data to plug into the GPS: The Adjusted Slip.   If you annualize 2011 domestic vehicle sales based on the seasonally adjusted March sales numbers, the projections actually slipped from 13.4 million in February.  To be sure, that's higher than the 12.6 million the industry posted in December 2010 and January 2011.  But the April report will bear watching for signs that the dip in the March rate is more than a blip on the screen.   It's A Long Road Back To Pre-Recession Levels.  It will be good news if the industry sells more than 13 million vehicles this year. That would be consistent with a post-recession market turnaround: automakers ended 2010 with 11.6 million sales, an 11% increase over 2009.  But manufacturers are still miles away from the 17.4 million vehicles sold in 2000, when sales began their decline. Cash For Clunkers May Have Worked Better Than We Think.  About 14 million vehicles were scrapped in 2009, according to according to an industry study.  While that ought to mean that dealers are finding a vast sellers market among car-less consumers, there's an interesting nuance to that equation: they only sold about 10 million vehicles that year. That's 4 million fewer cars and light trucks on the road.  The number of dealerships also dropped 11% between 2008 and 2010. While the U.S driving public is not abandoning its cars en masse for scooters, a new economic uncertainty could once again force many buyers to keep driving their older cars longer.  Japan ‘s Disaster Will Hit The Industry Hard.   The March 11 earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear crisis in Japan will keep at least half of Japan's auto manufacturing facilities off line until at least the first week in May, according to the industry research firm IHS Automotive. Because all automakers depend heavily on Japanese suppliers for parts — and inventories are very lean — as much as one-third of all global vehicle production could be forced to stop during that time, the researchers say. Never Underestimate The Pall Of Oil Price Shifts.   Automakers, like everyone else within the transportation sector, face serious headwinds over oil price volatility.  Auto sales are buffeted by wild pendulum swings in fuel prices because cheap gas boosts demand for bigger, less efficient SUVs, while pricey fuel sparks greater interest in smaller, greener vehicles.  Remember June 2008, when $4-a-gallon gas had buyers clamoring for electric or hybrid vehicles?  With gas prices sinking to the $2 range just five months later, buyers fell back in love with big vehicles again.  That's enough to send vehicle production planners running for cover – and Prozac.   As of this writing, Susan J. Aluise did not hold a position in any of the stocks mentioned here.

TODAY’S STOCK MARKET News DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE DJI, S&P 500, NASDAQ INDEX TRENDS, NOTES April 6th, 2011 Review and Week’s Overview

Stocks struggled during yesterdays session and ended the day relatively flat.
The S&P 500 finished the last session lower by .02 percent at 1332.63. The
Nasdaq ended the last session just above break even by .07 percent at 2791.19.
The Dow Jones Industrials finished lower by .05 percent at 12393.90. Investors
mulled over the rising interest rate potentials and continued to feel negative
pressure stemming from the turmoil in the Middle East. Stocks felt the negative
pressure as well, but the uncertainty helped to push precious metals higher
during the last session. For today, investors will look to the agricultural
product producer, Monsato, to post positive earnings data. Another key earning
report this day will stem from Bed Bath and Beyond. On Thursday, the Labor
Department will post weekly jobless claims as usual. Also on Thursday, the
Federal Reserve will release data relating to February consumer credit analysis.
In addition to these two reports, investors will be waiting to see if the
European Central Bank increases its benchmark interest rate in an attempt to
reduce inflationary potentials. The Commerce Department will post wholesale
inventory data for February to end the trading week. Economists are anticipating
that this report will post a moderate increase over the wholesale inventory
report data from January. Author: Frank Matto
