Todays Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA Index DJX DJI; Nasdaq, S&P 500; Stock Market Investing News Today
The primary indicators in the U.S. finished mixed last session. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average closed about break-even at 12,019.42. The Nasdaq was just
green by .03 percent at 2,626.93 and the S&P 500 closed just red by .02 percent
at 1,244.28. Although the U.S. indices closed mixed on the last trading session
last week, indices pushed into positive territory over the course of the week as
a whole. All three improved by greater than or equal to 7 percent. The Dow Jones
was up 7 percent. The Nasdaq was higher by about 7.6 percent and the S&P 500
finished better for the week by about 7.4 percent. The last week ended on a
positive note via the jobs data. The Labor Department reported that the national
unemployment rate dropped lower to 8.6 percent for November. The unemployment
rate has slowly come off of its peek which posted in October at 10.1 percent.
Investors confidence was bolstered, somewhat, by the data. Although the
unemployment rate lowered, the number of jobs that have been added in recent
months does not match the number necessary to keep up with population growth.
Investors will look to string several months of strong jobs data together to
feel secure that the U.S. economy is moving in a consistent direction. Last
week, the market started off with three strong days and the hope is that this
week will show similar trends. Today, investors will look to the Commerce
Department report on factory orders. Economists expect a minor decline in orders
for this report however. Frank Matto

Will Wednesday’s 5% Surge Kick Off a Year-End Rally?
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace Wednesday’s surge was so impressive that it’s worth taking another look at it from the distance of a few days. A quick thumbnail technical analysis allows for only one conclusion: Stocks will rally further. The Dow soared nearly 500 points, the S&P and Nasdaq finished up 4.2% and small caps led the charge with a 5.8% gain. The VIX is 27% lower today than on Nov. 1. Trading volume on the NYSE clocked in at 1.66 billion, over 60% above the 10-day average. Up volume accounted for 97% of Wednesday’s trading. Assuming that this rally has further to go seems like a slam-dunk. But a little bit of perspective is never bad. We saw a similar price and volume surge on Oct. 27 when the S&P pushed as high as 1,293, and the Dow as high as 12,284. NYSE trading volume that day was almost 40% above the 10-day average. The Oct. 27 explosion lifted 94.5% of stocks above their 10-day average, while Wednesday’s squirt propelled 93.6%, but (and that’s a big “but”) stocks tumbled more than 10% following the Oct. 27 performance (more about what that means in a moment). High Probability Profits When it comes to trading, it’s all about identifying high probability entry or exit points. There are always new trading opportunities, but the best opportunities are those where all stars (indicators) are aligned for a profitable trade. The three best indicators, in my humble opinion, are a composite of technicals (support/resistance levels, Fibonacci analysis, trend lines, patterns, buy/sell signals, etc.), sentiment and seasonality. A high probability trade sees all three indicators pointing in the same direction. Along with a few minor setups, we’ve gotten two major high probability signals this year: A sell signal in May and a buy signal in October. In April, the S&P was closing in on major technical resistance, investor sentiment was outright bullish (which is bearish from a contrarian point of view) and seasonality was turning bearish (“sell in May and go away”). The Apr. 15 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter warned that: “A major secondary market top is forming. It would simplify our forecast if the S&P would be able to reach the ideal 1,369 to 1,382 target for a major secondary market top before the summer doldrums.” The S&P topped on May 2 at 1,371. The rest is history. Exactly the opposite was true at the October lows. The Sep. 23 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter provided this outlook: “From its May high at 1,370 to its eventual low, the S&P will likely have lost about 300 points (22%). This kind of move validates a counter trend rally. Any drop below 1,088 may mark the end of the 2011 bear market leg. Such a drop may be only on an intraday basis.” The S&P exploded 20% from its 1,075 intraday low on Oct. 4 to its 1,293 high on Oct. 27.

Top 10 Best-Performing NASDAQ-100 Stocks of the Week: FSLR, FFIV, LRCX, JOYG, ADSK, GMCR, MYL, NVDA, BIDU, KLAC (Dec 04, 2011)
Below are the top 10 best-performing stocks in the NASDAQ-100 index
Will Wednesday’s 5% Surge Kick Off a Year-End Rally?
Wednesdays surge was so impressive that its worth taking another look at it
from the distance of a few days. A quick thumbnail technical analysis allows for
only one conclusion: Stocks will rally further. The Dow soared nearly 500
points, the S&P and Nasdaq finished up 4.2% and small caps led the charge with a
5.8% gain. The VIX is 27% lower today than on Nov. 1. Trading volume on the NYSE
clocked in at 1.66 billion, over 60% above the 10-day average. Up volume
accounted for 97% of Wednesdays trading. Assuming that this rally has further to
go seems like a slam-dunk. But a little bit of perspective is never bad. We saw
a similar price and volume surge on Oct. 27 when the S&P pushed as high as
1,293, and the Dow as high as 12,284. NYSE trading volume that day was almost
40% above the 10-day average. The Oct. 27 explosion lifted 94.5% of stocks above
their 10-day average, while Wednesdays squirt propelled 93.6%, but (and thats a
big but) stocks tumbled more than 10% following the Oct. 27 performance (more
about what that means in a moment). High Probability Profits When it comes to
trading, its all about identifying high probability entry or exit points. There
are always new trading opportunities, but the best opportunities are those where
all stars (indicators) are aligned for a profitable trade. The three best
indicators, in my humble opinion, are a composite of technicals
(support/resistance levels, Fibonacci analysis, trend lines, patterns, buy/sell
signals, etc.), sentiment and seasonality. A high probability trade sees all
three indicators pointing in the same direction. Along with a few minor setups,
weve gotten two major high probability signals this year: A sell signal in May
and a buy signal in October. In April, the S&P was closing in on major technical
resistance, investor sentiment was outright bullish (which is bearish from a
contrarian point of view) and seasonality was turning bearish (sell in May and
go away). The Apr. 15 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter warned that: A major
secondary market top is forming. It would simplify our forecast if the S&P would
be able to reach the ideal 1,369 to 1,382 target for a major secondary market
top before the summer doldrums. The S&P topped on May 2 at 1,371. The rest is
history. Exactly the opposite was true at the October lows. The Sep. 23 ETF
Profit Strategy Newsletter provided this outlook: From its May high at 1,370 to
its eventual low, the S&P will likely have lost about 300 points (22%). This
kind of move validates a counter trend rally. Any drop below 1,088 may mark the
end of the 2011 bear market leg. Such a drop may be only on an intraday basis.
The S&P exploded 20% from its 1,075 intraday low on Oct. 4 to its 1,293 high on
Oct. 27.

6 Trustworthy Dividend Stocks to Buy Now
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace These high-dividend stocks have been an oasis throughout the market volatility of 2011, and they will continue to offer a place where investors entering into the market can feel secure. New money flowing into stocks will head for the safest stocks with the highest and most reliable dividends. Here are six trustworthy dividend stocks to buy now: Altria Group Inc. (NYSE: MO ) is legendary for its dividend payout — representing a 6% dividend yield! And, despite declines in cigarette shipping volume and a tough regulatory environment, this company keeps delivering strong operating income. Particularly, the company's flagship premium brand Marlboro is still going strong thanks to its strong base of loyal consumers. Companhia de Bebidas das Americas (Ambev) (NYSE: ABV ) has been a favorite stock of mine for several years. Not only is ABV the dominant beer and beverage company in Argentina, Brazil and Canada, it also pays one of the highest and most dependable dividends on this list. With a stronghold in emerging markets and a 4.5% dividend yield, I don't see any reason to sell this stock in the near term. Dr Pepper Snapple Group (NYSE: DPS ) is benefiting from booming international sales and a weak dollar. Latin America is a key sales driver for the company, and many currencies in South America have been appreciating against the dollar. Like ABV, Dr Pepper Snapple is profiting from a growing middle class in Latin America. For the fourth quarter, the analyst community is expecting 4.7% annual sales growth and 11.9% earnings growth. The company trades at only 12.9 times 2012 forecasted earnings and has a very attractive 3.5% annual dividend yield. McDonald's Corp. (NYSE: MCD ) has stayed true to its roots while consistently introducing new menu items. New offerings have led to strong global comparable sales, and in the most recent quarter the company enjoyed a 12% increase in sales. Over the same period, net income gained 9%. Earnings per share also trumped the consensus estimate of $1.43. I'm excited to see a well-established company like McDonald's continue to grow sales and earnings at this rate. And company leadership sees no sign of stopping. Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM ) makes seven of the top 15 brands of tobacco products in the world and sells its cigarettes in 160 countries. There will always be regulatory issues with tobacco companies, but PM has weathered them all and will continue to aggressively grow its business and its dividend. The current yield is 4.2%, and with several dividend increases over the past few years I only expect that payment to rise in the year to come. Reynolds American Inc. (NYSE: RAI ) currently pays a 5.3% dividend. The combination of capital returns and steady dividend payments is enough for me to continue to recommend this stock throughout the year to come.
