M6ned teemad tänaseks päevaks:
- Euro murdis jällegi dollari vastu viimaste aastate k6rgeimale tasemele. Yhe dollari eest saab 0.7996 eurot, mis kodumaises valuutas on ca 12.49 krooni.
- Dollari n6rkus ei ole masendanud turgusid ning futuurid on ligemale pool protsenti plussis.
- JP Morgan t6stab täna hommikul McDonaldsi (MCD) reitingu Overweight peale varasema Underweight asemel. Nende arvates ei muuda hullu lehma t6bi tarbijate eelistusi ning myyk peaks jääma samaks (myygi pysimist endistel tasemetel kinnitas MCD pyhade ajal ka ise). Samas aga loomaliha hind turul peaks kukkuma ning see peaks MCD ning ka teiste restorianikettide (QSR) jaoks positiivselt m6juma.
- AG Edwards teatas, et alustab pisikese protsessoritootja Transmeta (TMTA) katmist Buy/Speculative reitingu ning $5 hinnasihiga järgmise 12-18 kuu jooksul. Nende arvates on firma suuteline saavutama $200 mln suuruse käibe 2005 aastal.
- Trinity Biotech (TRIB) teatas, et nende Uni-Gold kiire HIV-test sai USA ravimiameti käest myygiiloa. Kiired HIV-viiruse testid on populaarsust kogumas, kuna varasema tunde v6i päevi väldanud ootamise asemel saab tulemused juba 10 minutiga. TRIB on täna hommikul 60% plussis.
HIV viirus tundub järjest kiiremini maailmas levivat ning kiirtestid v6ivad olla varsti kasutusel k6ikjal alustades riigisektorist ning l6petades kindlustusseltsidega. Turul ongi hetkel kolm mängijat: Orasure (OSUR), Trinity (TRIB) ning suurem Abbott Labs (ABT). Minu tähelepanu on viimasel ajal köitnud just $300 mln turuväärtusega OSUR, mis v6ib lähitulevikus saada ka LHV Pro all valituks.
- Six Flags (PKS) ei ole viimaste poolikute kauplemispäevade jooksul eriti liikunud ning ma usun, et enne järgmist ylesliikumist tuleb läbi teha pisike korrektsioon $7.5 ja $7 vahele.
- Smith Barney on täna hommikul välja positiivse kommentaariga pooljuhtide sektori teemal. Nende arvates peaks sektor tervikuna kasvama järgmisel aastal 20%. Varem ennustasid analyytikud 14% kasvu. Saab näha, kas see ka mingisugust m6ju aktsiatele omab.
- New York Times kirjutab täna hommikul sellest, kuid internetis tegutsevad pangad saavad tänu madalamale kulubaasile pakkuda deposiitidele paremaid intresse kui nende "bricks'n'mortar" konkurendid. Hea uudis eelk6ige NetBanki (NTBK) jaoks, kuid omab positiivset tooni ka E-Loani (EELN) suunal. Kogu v6rku viidud finantsteenuste mØte ongi ju kulubaasi alandamine. Kasutusmugavusest rääkimata.
- RevShark:
Good morning. The finish line to a very impressive year is in sight. Many folks have already locked profits for the first time since 1999 and closed up shop content in the knowledge that they were able to generate a positive return once again.
We still have three more days of slogging left in 2003 and the likelihood is that the final days should be rather tame and insignificant. Many investors will be happy to coast to the conclusion of the year and then work on the implementation of a new strategy when they are back at full power Jan. 5, 2004.
The question for us to consider this week is whether we will see a rotation back into small-caps, technology and momentum stocks that showed some signs of life last week. The most striking theme in this market over the last few weeks has been the outperformance of industrial, steel, oil and cyclical stocks. The Nasdaq has lagged as the stodgy smokestacks have hit new recent highs.
However, last week technology and small-cap stocks started to find some support. Unlike the DJIA and S&P 500, the Nasdaq has not been able to make new highs after briefly breaking through the overhead at 2000 on Dec. 3. The DJIA on the other hand has gone parabolic after breaking through the 10,000 level Dec. 11.
Some folks will say the DJIA is simply catching up with the Nasdaq, which outperformed for most of the summer and fall. But the chart of the DJIA is clearly extended recently, while the Nasdaq is set up nicely for an attack on new highs.
One way or another we are very likely to see a narrowing in the gap between the Nasdaq and the DJIA that developed in December. Based on the charts, the most likely way that will happen is for the Nasdaq to pick up some momentum while the DJIA drifts and digests recent gains.
Traders will likely be focusing on small-cap action this week because of the historic tendency of small stocks to outperform at this time of the year. There are plenty of small-cap technology stocks that have pulled back sharply to support levels. The ones that catch some volume can make some nice moves. So stay alert for unusual action in individual stocks early in the day.
In the early going we have positive indications. Overseas markets are pretty much up across the board. Semiconductor stocks are leading the way overseas. The dollar continues its struggle and hit another record low against the euro this morning. Gold is trading up to as high as $415.00.
There are news reports in the English press that Saddam has disclosed information on hidden weapons and $40 billion in hidden funds. If this story develops it could have a very positive impact on the market.
It should be an interesting day but volume is going to be thin, which means that the opportunity for manipulation and quick spikes is very high. Be careful out there.
