GE missed by 7 cents ......
GE is down 10% so far & heading towards 52 week low....
Almost 3.5 million share traded by 745am........
Futures are lower by 12 points on NASDAQ......
GE has NOT performed well for the last 10 years.....barely meeting estimates......
GE is NOT a growth company @ all......
Finance 5 cent miss & health care division 1 cent miss did not perform..and another 1 cent miss everywhere...NOT a mark of company which IS being managed well???
I see the opening & pre-market weakness as a buying opportunity in an oversold market.....
I will be adding to my portfolio today either in what I already own or something new...depends on price attractiveness !!!!
Day to day gyrations should NOT ruffle investors or traders who have more than 5 minutes time horizon......
This is a clear "add on weakness MOMENT"
BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

ReplyDeleteAG News from IBD:
DuPont boosts outlook on ag sales
The chemical maker hiked its Q1 EPS guidance to about $1.29 vs. its earlier outlook of $1.14-$1.19 and views of $1.17. DuPont cited strong growth in its agriculture businesses and rapid growth in emerging markets. That offset weakness in the U.S. construction and automotive markets. DuPont said it sees Q2 EPS of $1.05, below views of $1.12. It also raised the lower end of its ’08 EPS guidance by a nickel and now expects $3.40-$3.55 vs. estimates of $3.45. Shares rose 1.2% to 49.64.

Solars are up due to this, from briefing:
ReplyDelete09:58 Color on relative strength in the solar stocks
After gapping down at the open, a number of solar stocks have reversed and are now showing relative strength (LDK, SOLF, SPWR, FSLR, CSUN, CSIQ). We're hearing Piper Jaffray was out with a call saying to buy solar names based on changing sentiment on likelihood of House passing Solar initiative.

Agrium Inc
Focus on leading stocks in leading groups. Although the Chemicals-Fertilizers group is no longer the No. 1 group among the 197 industries tracked by IBD, it’s still near the top of the heap. One of the biggest firms in the group is Agrium, (AGU) which produces nitrogen, phosphate and potash fertilizers.
Agrium gapped up and hit a record high of 76.14 during the week ended Dec. 28 (Point 1). It then tumbled on some of the heaviest volume in years (Point 2), part of that harsh broad-market sell-off we saw in January. The fertilizer maker’s 40-week moving average stemmed the decline (Point 3) and the stock soon started building the right side of what would become an eight-week cup base. Despite some accumulation in the structure, the breakout in the week ended Feb. 29 only took the stock a hair above its December peak (Point 4). Agrium has since settled back, and now in in the sixth week of a new cup-shaped base. Since the prior breakout resulted in a gain of less than 20%, the current formation is a base-on-base pattern.
