Bulls Keep Market From the Brink

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow them.
-- Louisa May Alcott

The most impressive thing about this market in recent months as how it has stayed so hopeful and optimistic despite a steady flow of negative news. The problems in real estate and credit are of historic proportions, the economy is clearly starting to slump and oil is hitting record highs, yet market players stay positive and keep the market from suffering any great pain.

The last two days, we have been on the brink of technical breakdowns in the major indices before the buyers jumped in and delivered a good close. These buyers have continually relied on the fact that the Fed is acknowledging that there are some major problems out there and that they are willing to cut interest rates and provide liquidity to help cure them. The old adage that you shouldn't fight the Fed has proved to be excellent advice so far, and every time the market looks like it is in trouble, the bulls take comfort in it.

This morning, the bulls have a very strong earnings report from Microsoft (MSFT) . The stock is indicated up around $4 in the early action, but so far there doesn't seem to be a lot of sympathetic action in other parts of the market.

One thing we have seen a couple times this quarter is a strong report from a major company like Intel (INTC) , Google (GOOG) or Apple (AAPL) that doesn't have much impact on the broader market. We have had a generally negative mood through earnings season so far despite a number of very good reports.

We'll see if Microsoft can help bolster the broader market, but with the FOMC interest rate decision coming up next week, the bulls probably won't need a lot to hold the market steady. It is a bit troubling that the mood is not that ebullient so far this morning and that Europe is doing little overnight, but the market has the potential for a pre-Fed run to kick in at any time.

The enduring optimism and hope that has been in the market in the face of onslaught of negatives is an impressive thing. Many want to bet against it as they believe the weight of the negatives can't be resisted forever. Maybe that will be the case but for the moment the conditions are in place for this market to hold steady.

Although there were some better earnings last night, particularly MSFT, we have rather sedate action in the S&P 500, while the Nasdaq is looking perky. Europe was just slightly positive while Asia gained. Oil is up strongly and hitting new highs. That has to be an issue of concern as we go forward.

USA on päeva alustamas väga korraliku +0.7% plussiga - põhjuseks eileõhtused tugevad Microsofti tulemused, mis on +12.5% kõrgemal kauplemas ning eelturul lilleliste tulevikuprognoosidega välja tulnud Countrywide Financial (CFC), kes näeb kinnisvara turul kaugemas tulevikus paremaid aegu ning CFC aktsia on üles hüpanud eelturul kogunisti +23%.

Intressimäärade langetamise tõenäosused fed fund rate'ides:

100% tõenäosus, et Fed langetab intresse 25 baasipunkti võrra 31. oktoobril, 14% tõenäosus, et intresse langetatakse 50 baasipunkti võrra.

Kuna Ben on 2 korda juba discount rate'i modereerinud, võib ka ses vallas muutusi tulla.
Vimpelcom on eespool toodud uudise peale kauplemas ligi 6% plussis.
CFC, nii nagu paljude teiste analoogsete laenajate osas, "tahaks näha" ikka kahjumit aasta lõikes. Võib-olla isegi kahjumiga lõppevat majandusaastat, siis hakkan mõtlema ostmisele.
Ei teadnudki varem, et 2.5%line langus dollaris teiste välisvaluutade vastu võrdub justkui 0.25%lise alandamisega Föderaalreservi intressimäärades, mistõttu, mida madalam dollar, seda väiksem vajadus Fedil täiendavalt sekkuda:

Tony Crescenzi RealMoney'st: One important implication of the dollar's drop relates to the outlook on Fed policy. Some studies have shown that for each 2.5% decline in the value of the dollar, it can have the same economic impact as a 25 basis point cut in interest rates.
Nii ongi, et mida madalamad on FED'i intressid, seda suurem põhjus on dollaril langeda teiste valuutade suhtes.
olemegi jõudnud suure küsimuseni. Miks ülejäänud maailm üldse USAsse investeerib?
Oletan, et üks põhjustest on see, et USA turg kõige likviidsem turg.
Huvitav on üldse see olukord viimastel aastatel. Kui paljud seal turul mängijatest üldse majanduslikku haridust omavad? Minul ei ole ka seda, kuigi TTÜ-s paar semestrit ökonoomikat sai pursitud. Globaliseerumine ja interneti levi ja raha vool sinna on omal kohal. 10 a. tagasi ei saanud ju istuda oma elutoas läpakas põlvel ja tradeda, nii et sõrm villis :)
Paljud on tundnud muret, et turul on liiga palju globaalset raha, mis tänu turgude tõusule iseennast toidab. See tähendab "loll raha suurendab lolli raha". Kui USA majanduses on praegu märke asja hapuks minemiseks, siis selleasemel, et turud langeksid, toimub vastupidi. Nafta varsti 100$, aga see ju positiivne, kui nafta tõuseb, järelikult peab ka aktsiaturg tõusma. Onju :)
Kuhu see välja jõub? Eks paistab, kuid loodan ( turgudel ei ole lootusega mingit pistmist ), et karuna ma ei ole see, kellele lõplikult müts pähe tõmmatakse.
FMD kummaliselt "nõrk" pärast eilseid tulemusi. Oskab keegi kommenteerida?

Soovitan üle vaadata ka sellenädalase lõpliku tulemuste tabeli. Äkilisi liikumisi oli päris hulgaliselt - suurima tõusja tiitel läheb tänasele Countrywide Financialsile (CFC).

1Hope, paar mõtet:
1. turg on olnud väga skeptiline FMD suhtes - natuke tuleb aega anda, et kõik kartused lahtuksid
parem rahulikult üles tiksuda, kui mingi närviline üles-alla tõmblemine

2. ma arvan, et paljud tegelikult ei saa päris täpselt aru kuidas see värk töötab,
nüansse ja detaile, millest pilt kokku jookseb on suht palju, mul endalgi veel kodutööd veel selle koha pealt teha
ma arvan, et paljud ootavad "spetsialistide" arvamust - järgmine nädal võiks analüütikute hinnangud aktsiale suunda anda

ise teeks nii: kui peaks allapoole tulema, siis ostma
FMD on piisavalt tõestanud, et liigub õigel teel. skeptikud asuvad väljaspool ettevõtet. juhtkond ei ole ühtegi signaali pika aja jooksul andnud, mis ettevaatlikuks võiks teha
Tänud Speedy.
NB! Täna öösel siis Eestis kella keeramine tunni aja võrra tahapoole, kuid USAs tehakse sama liigutust alles 4. novembril kell 02.00 idaranniku aja järgi pühapäeva hommikul - seega järgnev nädal toimub USA börsidel kauplemine Eesti aja järgi kell 15.30-22.00.
