Indices completed "narrowest of consolidation"...NICE !!!

Most traders are completely blown away by markets ability to close near 9 month high 3 days in a row????...all simplistic conclusions about this market had them all set for a full fledge correction of 5% or MORE or RETEST of LOWS as championed by many on CNBC.....

Some pundits have been changing their deadlines on a weekly basis for "dire results"...they are hoping & praying that they will be right sometime in a span of 6 months of "wrong predictions"..thus a need to move their dates forward....

Here is how the indices have done since we hit 9 months high...all numbers are based after today's close :

Dow Jones 09 HIGH 9124.91..close today 9070.72...Down a whopping 54.19 points or .59%..RSI 69.39

S&P500 09 HIGH 982.49..close today 975.15 Down a whopping 7.34 points or.75%..RSI 67.86

Nasdaq 09 High 1979.34..close today 1967.76 Down a whopping 11.58 points or .59%..RSI 71.55

The above stat proves that lot of predictions which are made daily about markets are "crapshoot"....when markets do not go down against all odds...then there IS a good CHANCE that it will "explode on the UPside"

AH GNK ER was a beat on both Sales & EPS.....they are suspending dividend & shares buyback as part of their covenant.....CC @ 830 AM.....

AH V reported a beat & guide Higher...but it is Down $1.01 ???

AH Futures are GREEN....

AH Gold & Silver are UP...

AH Nikkei UP .15% so far....

Green stocks included NDAQ,ICE,MA,C,BAC....

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

thanks for hard work on the blog

Here is some news on GS;S&P Analyst Research Notes
S&P RAISES RECOMMENDATION ON SHARES OF GOLDMAN SACHS TO BUY FROM HOLD
Tuesday 07/14/2009 9:13 AM ET - Standard & Poor's Research Notes
Q2 earnings of $4.93 vs. May-Q FY 08 $4.58 beat our $2.82 estimate, despite commercial mortgage and real estate losses and TARP-related costs. GS benefitted from inexpensive funding, a surge in underwriting, and active clients. The firm was also able to hold costs down, aided by a lower headcount. We believe Goldman Sachs is gaining market share and benefiting from low cost funding, and will see continued strong results throughout '09. We are raising our '09 EPS estimate to $17.12 from $12.34, and upping our target price by $28 to $178, 10X our 12-month forward EPS estimate.

The shippers are supposed to have tough sledding for remainder of fy09. so says SP report
My FRO beet but not much of move because of negative sentiment IMHO

Best regards to all

Not Happy with GNK tape....

Hi Saleem,

Checking the message boards, no one else seems to know why GNK was sold off either. Maybe we get a boost late in the afternoon.

Best Regards
