Low Expectations May Give Us a Toehold

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.
-- Willie Nelson


Earnings season is kicking off, and market players are happy with what they are seeing. The reports from the likes of Intel (INTC), JPMorgan (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC), BlackRock (BLK) and Coke (KO) aren't anything fantastic, but expectations are low enough that bulls are breathing a sigh of relief and doing some buying.

What this market has been missing over the past couple of weeks is some sense that much of the bad news has been priced in already. It looked like that was starting to happen, but the market was caught by surprised when General Electric (GE) had such a poor report. That suppressed expectations again, which in turn is helping to trigger the "buy the mediocre news" reaction that we are seeing this morning.

We must now consider whether the market can build on this strong open. There is little doubt that there are still plenty of major economic worries out there. We are still hearing about how Merrill Lynch (MER) may have more writedowns, oil prices are rocketing higher and inflation concerns are growing.

If you want to find negatives, you won't have any problem at all. But that really isn't the issue. The issue is whether market players are feeling like the market has already priced in these fears and worries. The action today is going to tell us a lot about that. We badly need a strong day at this point and then some more good reports from IBM (IBM) and Google (GOOG) over the next couple days.

If we can hold up on this news this morning, then underinvested bulls will start to inch back in and shorts will start to cover. Momentum will start to build and the key indices will move back over important technical resistance at the 50-day simple moving average.

The market has the conditions in place to climb the wall of worry. Expectations are low and there is still plenty of skepticism about economic health. Those aren't going to go away anytime soon, but if the market holds up and catches a little momentum, then buyers will start to inch back in out of fear that maybe a turn really is coming.

I'm optimistic that we may be able to get some upside going here, but I'm still concerned about a few things. We need some better volume soon. The market has little vigor -- volume is at the lowest of the year and needs to change. Also, the rapidly accelerating oil prices and the weak dollar are going to stir up inflationary fears and that can kill any nascent rally very quickly.

This market has plenty of hurdles, but the low expectations for earnings and some OK reports are giving us a glimmer of hope.

Turud päev otsa üles roninud ning viimased paar tundi on kohapeal seistud, pole enam jaksu ülesminekuks. Mõne minuti pärast avaldatakse Fed`s beige book, mis võiks anda turgudele veidi hoogu ning kujundada edasise suuna.
Esimese hooga tullakse päris korraliku spikega allapoole, kas ka jätkusuutlikult?

Täna õhtul teatab oma tulemused IBM. Intel on äsja tehnoloogiasektorit rõõmustanud ning pullid ootavad tuge kindlasti ka IBMilt. Kui seda ei tule, saab reaktsioon olema valuline. Päris mitmed analüüsimajad on viimastel päevadel avaldanud arvamust, et IBMi tulemused saavad olema paremad kui tänane konsensusootus. Saame näha. Igaljuhul, kui peaks panuseid tegema, valiksin ootustele vastavad numbrid.
