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.

Stocks to Watch for Next Week

The US stock market got hammered last week. It was one of the worst weeks since late 2008. Without any good news from anywhere, it maybe hard to invest in the market now. The once safe heaven GOLD and Silver were down along with the stock market. So there is no place to park right now. But on the other hand, interest rates are so low and the housing market is still terrible, I think not every investors will abandon the stock market yet.

Earning for the week of 9/26 - 9/30 will be:

  • Monday: CALM, FGP
  • Tuesday: AM, NEOG, WAG, ACN, CMTL, JBL, OMN, PAYX, PRGS, SABA, ZZ, SMSC, and SNX.
  • Wednesday: ATU, DRI, FDO, MKC, MOS, TXI, WOR.
  • Thursday: AZZ, CHINA, DMAN, MU, XRTX.
