Börsipäev 20. november - HPQ hirmutab konkurente

Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) teatas eile tugevad kvartalitulemused, öeldes et taaskord on suudetud turuosa võita (arvatavasti Delli, Lenovo ja LXK arvelt). Kuigi kahekohalist kasvu suudeti näidata igas regioonis (Revenue in the Americas grew 10% on a year-over-year basis to $11.9 billion. Revenue grew 19% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa to $11.6 billion. Revenue grew 20% in Asia Pacific to $4.8 billion), olid kasvumootoriks peamiselt arenevad turud. Jaotusvõime Hiinas ja Indias paraneb. Samuti ei mõjutanud firmat krediidiprobleemid ning tegelikult oleks tahtnud ettevõte turule veelgi rohkem müüa.

Ettevõtte käibest 67% tuleb väljastpoolt USA-d. BRIC riikides (Brazil, Russia, India ja China), mis moodustavad käibest 9%, suudeti aga käivet kasvatada lausa 37%.

USA aktsiaturgude suurimate indeksite futuurid on avanemas ca 1% kõrgemal tasemel.

Wachovia Starts Euroseas (ESEA) at Outperform
11-19-2007 05:45:17 PM
Wachovia initiates coverage on Euroseas (Nasdaq: ESEA) with an Outperform rating and a $22 to $24 price target.
The firm said it expects containership and dry bulk fundamentals to remain strong throughout 2008.
Euroseas, Ltd. and its subsidiaries provide ocean-going transportation services worldwide. It owns and operates drybulk carriers that transport iron ore, coal, and grains, as well as bauxite, phosphate, and fertilizers.

Enne täna avaldatavat housing datat kardetakse, et uute ehitusete alustamine on langenud 16 aasta madalaimale tasemele, mis omakorda annaks võimaluse intresside langetamiseks. Futuurid indikeerivadki, et 11. detsembri kohtumisel alandatakse intresse 4.25%-ni. Kui veel eelmine kuu hinnati selle tõenäosuseks 72%, siis tänaseks on tõenäosus tõusnud 96%-ni.

Seetõttu on dollar kukkunud uutele põhjadele, hetkel küsitakse euro eest $1.478, ära on käidud ka $1.48 all. Ühtlasi võib turgudele närvilisust lisada ka FOMCi protokoll, mis avaldatakse meie aja järgi kell 21.

Google tgt raised to $900 from $800 at Credit Suisse.

Credit Suisse raises their tgt on GOOG in attempt to better account for long term opportunities in areas like display, local, and mobile. The firm believes that over time as all advertising goes digital, including television, radio, and outdoor, and Google becomes the de facto "operating system" for advertisers, providing them with the dashboard to monitor and optimizer their advertising, tremendous value will be created for Google shareholders.
kiire reaktsioon, Madis :)

ma just tahtsin öelda, et HPQ ja GOOG võivad täna tehnoloogiaktsiad kappama panna
Deutsche Bank on täna taas Citi hinnasihi kallal ning kärpimas seda $29 peale $34-lt. Välja tuuakse just riskijuhtimise vajakajäämised, millega on ikka kenasti puusse pandud. Eile liikusid ka jutud, et võibolla tahab ettevõtte CFO saada uueks CEOks Citis, kuid arvestades, et võetud riskide eest vastutab ikkagi ka finantsjuht, ei tundu sellistel juttudel väga tugevat vundamenti olevat.

Kuigi uudisnupp on eilne, siis Google'i jutu jätkuks kõlbab küll. Barronsi Tech Trader vahendab analüüsiettevõtte Hitwise'i uuringut, mille kohaselt on Google jätkuvalt turuosa võitmas. Oktoobris tehti 64.49% otsingutest läbi Google'i (septembris 63.44%). Oma turuosa on suutnud suurendada ka ASK.com (IACI), kelle vastavad näitajad on 4.76% vs 4.32% septembris.

Microsofti ponnistused ei tundu veel vilja kandvat, eelmise aasta 10.42% ja septembri 7.83% pealt on kukutud 7.42%-ni. Sama seis ka Yahooga: oktoobri turuosa 21.65% vs septembri oma 22.55%.

Building Permits 1178K vs 1200K consensus
Housing Starts 1229K vs 1170K consensus

Tehnoloogiasektor on eelturul muud turgu edestamas ning kuubikud avanemas ca +0.8%ga.

Aasia alustas miinuses, kuid päev suudeti lõpetada valdavalt plussis. Euroopa turud jagunevad laias laastus pooleks ning USA alustab plussis.

Yesterday's Pain Brings Today's Opportunity

To improve the golden moment of opportunity, and catch the good that is within our reach, is the great art of life.
-- William James


One of the things about the market that seldom changes is that intense emotions lead to good opportunities. That is why I have been very focused on the potential for a tradable bounce recently. The mood has turned unusually negative, and when it is that bad, it will almost always will suddenly lift for a while and give us a chance for some good trades in the other direction.

This very negative mood in combination with the propensity for the market to trade in positive fashion around the Thanksgiving holiday makes the possibility for a good bounce quite high. The key to taking advantage is to be mentally and emotionally prepared to embrace a bounce.

After days like yesterday, many market players become extremely pessimistic. All they can think about is how poor the action is. They can't even consider the possibility that the mood might shift even for a little bit. That is why when we do turn the action can be quite dramatic. The folks that have turned so negative scramble to be less so, and eventually they make the same mistake the other way and become overly optimistic about the market.

At a time like this, it is particularly important to be clear as to what time frames you are using. There is little question that the intermediate trend for the market has turned down. We are taking out the lows of last week and the lows of August are not that far off. It is a very poor technical picture and we can't ignore that fact. We have to make sure we play some defense and work to protect our capital should the trend persist.

However, within that longer-term trend there will be many shorter-term ones, and if you are so inclined, they can offer great opportunity. Some of the best trading is often big bounces within a longer-term downtrend, and that is what we are setting up for right now.

One thing that has been tricky about this market over the past year has been the tendency of the market to break down and bounce straight back up. These sorts of "V"-shaped recoveries are not what the stock market technician usually expects to happen. More typically, bounces after a sharp breakdowns will fail.

We saw a good example of the more typical action this past week as we completely gave back the huge bounce that we had last Tuesday. I suspect that many market players were hoping for a "V"-shaped bounce and were not positioned well when the bounce completely failed. That probably helped to increase the intensity of yesterday's selling.

Despite the sour close last night, we are set up for a very positive open this morning. Asian markets reversed strongly after a poor open and Europe is acting much better. Positive earnings from Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and generally better news flow is helping matters.

Capital Economics võttis tänase statistika kokku järgmiselt:

As we expected, US housing starts rebounded slightly in October. The trend is still clearly downwards, however, and these figures should not be misinterpreted as a sign that housing activity is even close to bottoming out. Starts rebounded by 3.0% to 1,229,000 annualised last month, only partly reversing the massive 11.4% decline in September. The unseasonably warm weather in the north-east probably helped as did the rebound in multi-family starts after a particualrly big drop off in September. But single-family starts fell again to 884,000, from 954,000. Most worryingly, the number of building permits issued dropped to a 14-year low of 1,178,000, suggesting that the number of starts will fall again in the coming months. Even if starts did somehow miraculously stabilise over the next few months, the overall level of housing construction would still continue to decline for at least another 6 months because of the time it takes to build a home. In short, aside from the very modest bounce in the headline figure there is nothing in this report that is at all encouraging. Housing is still in deep trouble.

Kogu selle positiivsuse peale on HPQ tugevus ära vajunud
Ericsson(ERIC) ootab, et 4. kvartali tulemused jäävad suure tõenäosusega antud 53-60 miljardilise prognoosivahemiku alumisse äärde. See lisab omakorda ebamäärasust selle kohta kuna ja mil moel jälle jalad alla saadakse ning tänases seisus ei ole see kindlasti midagi sellist, mida investorid oleks valmis kuulama. Aktsia käis ka 12 % miinuses juba, kuid on tugeva turu taustal tasapisi ülespoole tagasi tulemas (hetkel -9%).
Nafta hind on taas turge kollitama hakanud - 3% täna plussis ja barreli hind üle $97.
FRE ja FNM on täna ikka koledad

tahad neid õlut jooma kutsuda? ;-) ma eile tundsin ka oppaka vastu huvi...
nad on küll viimase märkimise käendajad, aga ma eeldan, et kodutöö on korralikult tehtud
