Thursday Pre-Market Stock Movers

The US stock market is poised to open higher today after yesterday's strength from a better than expected ADP report. The good news for the rally of the past few couple days is heavier volume to the upside. However, because of the global recession threat, I am not sure if this rally can last. I would use this opportunity to lighten up some of my positions. The pass away news of the Great Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs is the sad news of the day. His legacy will live on! He is the Elvis Presley of the Tech World. He will be missed.

High Stocks:
(ZUMZ) - Better than expected September sale.
(ESRX) - Cuts outlook and yet it is trading up pre-open. This is something news to see. Perhaps it is telling us something that the stock is cheap?
(ESIC) - micro-cap on the rise on earning.

Down Stocks:
(AAPL) - related to the dead of Steve Jobs. I think it will bounce back if the market is still good.
(YHOO) - perhaps less certain about the buyout deal in the near future?

Friday Pre-Market Stock Movers

The US Stocks market is expected to open lower today because of the late sell-off at the close yesterday, as well as the global recession. Traders and investors are not in the mode of buying anything in a big way cause the stock market to cut the earlier gain yesterday. I expect this pattern to continue until we can see a better environment for investments.

Up Stocks:
(HRBN) - Chinese company is proposed to go private at $24. A gimmick for them to get out?
Not many stocks that are up today.

Down Stocks:
(NFLX) - expect to trade below $100 very soon. It is broken to the downside.
(SINA), (SOHU), (BIDU) - Chinese companies on accounting issues probed by DOJ. Chinese stocks should be avoided now. See my previous posts.

Wednesday Pre-Market Stock Movers

The US stock market is poised to continue its winning streak for the week from yesterday's German bailout plan for Greece. Unfortunately the market settled at the low point of yesterday's rally with normal volumes. The big buyers are not quite back yet. More volume indications are needed to satisfy the bulls.

Up Stocks:
(NFLX) - Dead cat bounce?
(JBL) - good earning report
(ACN) - good guidance
(CHK) - drilling success from one of its wells.

Down Stocks:
(AVGO) - insiders dump a big chunk of shares.

Tuesday Pre-Market Stocks Movers

The US stock market is poised to rise again this morning after Germany confirmed its loans to Greece. The global stock markets have been trading in a yo-yo fashion because of the global economy and the debt crisis mainly from Greece and other nations. This could be the first step toward stability to come. Hopefully the S&P and Nasdaq support lines can be held. We have tested several times in the past few weeks. It seems to be held now. The next thing to watch is the heavier volume to the upside.

Personally I think we have seen the peak for Gold and Silver now. I would lighten up some positions if you have not done so in the past few session.

Up Stocks:
(AMZN) - I think we can have a decent sale from Amazon this holiday season, perhaps the optimism is back to this stock as well as its ability to compete with (NFLX). Maybe (NFLX) can be taken by Amazon.
(A) - Unusual call options have placed yesterday on this stock, the trend continues.
(YRCW) - Penny stock to cut change the top level folks.
(ARMH) - Rebound from the recent sell-off. I think it is the Intel of the future.

Down Stocks:
(SQQQ) - bear ETF, as well as other bear ETFs will be down.
(WAG) - Down after earning, maybe investors do not like what they saw in the report.

Friday Pre-market Stock Movers

As expected, the US stock market is poised to trade lower before the opening bell. There are many factors for this bear trend now: global recessions, lose confidence with the US law makers who can't seem to work together for the greater goods of the US economy (As many said in many polls, these guys or gals are merely for themselves, it is quite shameful for this great nation), and FedEx lower guidance yesterday (shipping down dramatically). FedEx will have a really indication on what consumers and corporations will buy and sell.

Up Stocks:
All the bear ETFs.

Down Stocks:
(CAVM) - lower guidance from the company.
(GOLD) - even gold miner and golds are trading down now

Thursday Pre-Market Stock Movers

The US stock market is poised to trade lower this morning. Based on the past trading sessions, the uptrend pattern is broken now. We need to be very cautious now. Bears are back now.

UP Stocks:
(SQQQ) - bear trade, we can guess why this ETF is up.
(NFLX) - Dead cat bounced from the recent selloffs. I think it is going to trader below $100 soon.

Down Stocks:
(WPRT) - high beta stock from recent strong gains to head lower, self correcting and keep your eyes on this when the bulls are back.
(LOGI) - The blood never stops on this company. More bad news regarding lower guidance from the company.

Thursday Pre-market Stock Movers

The US stock market is poised to start trading lower this morning. Perhaps waiting for the FED meeting announcement this afternoon. Correction from a series of advance sessions is not out of the ordinary. The trend won't change until we are seeing heavier selling on the down days.

Up Stocks:
(ORCL) - Big cap with decent earnings. If you want safety in this kind of environment, it is not a bad one to own now.
(ADBE) - Missed earning but decent outlook. New version of flash coming out.

Down Stocks:
(WLT) - gauidance cut by the company. Time to get out. They are in the same industries as (ANR) and (BTU). I would avoid this sector.

Tuesday Pre-Market Stock Movers

The US stock market is poised to have some gain this morning. The reasons for such are several folds: market reversed heavy lose yesterday, news from Greece on its loans, and gains from Europe. I believe the trend is still intact for the bulls until we see changes.

Up Stocks:
(SPU) - Chinese penny stock moving up without any news. I would avoid any Chinese related stocks, except the well-known big companies. Here is an interesting article from Bloomberg regarding Chinese stocks, http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-08-18/chinese-protest-5-billion-losses-tied-to-u-s-reverse-mergers.html
(AAPL) - iPhone5 is coming. iPads are taking market shares from rivals. Up on the down day yesterday.
(ARMH) - Riding on the success of iPhones and Android phones.

Down Stocks:
(MCP) - Downgrade from JPMorgan, cuts price from $105 to $66. WOW! Analyst surely knows how to downgrade.
(MLNX) - Issuing more stocks.
(NFLX) - Down again today. Too pricey contents and too much competitions. Here is one interesting article from Market place regarding its future.

Pre-Market Stock Moves

The US stock market is poised to open higher this morning from the strength of Europe and upticks from recent session gains. On a very short term basis, I smell some minor pull-backs coming either today or tomorrow. If you bought 3x bull ETFs, I would unwind some positions today and keep the rest until the market turns.

Up Stocks:
(TSPT) - Penny stock on the move because FDA recommends its drug. I would watch out for this kind of speculative play. First day maybe fine, but most of the time, you will lose money . It is very small cap and thinly traded.
(ARX) - Buy rating from Goldman Sachs. The stock was added to the firm's Americas Conviction Buy List. The stock was hammered recently. I will wait for pullback before getting it.

Down Stocks:
(NFLX) - lower guidance from Netflix itself. I expect further deteriorations in the coming days and weeks, until it can sign up more contents.
(CISG) - Small Chinese stock, the company withdrew its private takeover. I smell bad book keeping. Did you see that from yesterday's (SEED)? Avoid small Chinese stocks.
(AIXT) - Lower gauidance, avoid!

Pre-market Stock Movers

Like I have stated yesterday, I believe market is in a short term uptrend now. Get some beaten down powerful movers stocks can be quite rewarding. (MSFT) may have momentum to the upside. The clue is Window 8 is coming. It is the OS for tablet and PC. The tablet interface is similar to the iPad, and the other interface is the traditional PC Windows interface. Perhaps Microsoft "iTune" is in the work. I will buy the stock before Window 8 is a hot topic soon. See the review for yourself:  

Stocks to the Upside: (ORCL) - upgraded (JAKK) - Oaktree Capital is bidding for the company Stocks to the Downside: (SOA) - lowers guidance (SEED) - another publicly traded company from China, avoid the small stocks from China

Pre-Market Stock Movers

The US market trims loses before the opening bell this morning. I believe the market wants to higher whenever it finds a chance to do so. Stocks to the upside: (SODA) - "BUY" initiated by Janney Capital. (AET) - upbeat guidance Stocks to the downside: (SWI) - Morgan Stanley downgraded
