Eile tõusis koos nafta ja maagaasihindade ralli ning Chesapeake Energy (CHK) ja Totali (TOT) vahel sõlmitud partnerluslepingu toel CHK aktsia ca 8%. Kui Goldman langetas oma soovituse 'hoia' peale (hinnasiht tal jätkuvalt $32), siis Deutsche Bank kinnitab täna oma ostusoovitust ja ja tõstab hinnasihi $33 pealt $35 peale ning Citigroup kinnitab oma hoia-soovitust ja tõstab hinnasihi $28 pealt $32 peale. Kuigi aktsia on lühikese aja jooksul tugevalt tõusnud ja võime turu nõrkuse korral CHK'le kohaselt näha ka volatiilsemat allapoole korrektsiooni, usun siiski, et see jääb pigem lühiajaliseks ning et pikaajaliselt on CHK aktsiatel veel potentsiaali tõusta küllaga ning väärivad jätkuvalt kohta investeerimisportfellis.
Hommikused futuuriliikumised lubavad igaljuhul ka seekord oodata aasta teisel päeval turgude jätkuvat tõusu.

He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
We started off the year on a positive note. We had strong gains on excellent breadth and increased volume. Volume could have been better, but it is tough to quibble when we had so many pockets of very strong action. China-related stocks did particularly well, and oil, gold and commodity names benefited from a weaker dollar.
If you want to find a negative, the easiest argument is that strength to start the year is just positive seasonality driven by factors other than fundamental considerations. While that may indeed be the case, a gain is a gain no matter why it occurred. While strength may have been driven by beginning-of-the-year inflows and money managers anxious for a good start to the new year, it doesn't change the fact that we had some pretty impressive strength.
Technically the indices are a bit stretched at this point, but if there is one lesson we learned over and over in 2009 it is that we shouldn't fear an overbought market, as they can (and often will) become even more overbought. We consistently had some straight-up action at the beginning of a new month. In September, October and November in particular we had multiple positive days in a row early in the month.
So once again here we are in a situation with a strong but a bit technically extended market and players rather complacent. While it would make sense to worry about that setup, this is the sort of environment that consistently has produced a large supply of dip-buyers. Many market players are too disciplined to chase strength but they are happy to jump in on any minor pullbacks. That is what gave us so many long winning streaks in 2009.
Strong positive seasonality begins to wane after the first few days of January, and we usually have at least one good bout of profit-taking fairly early in the year as those who delayed taking taxable gains in the prior year move to lock in some profits. However, another lesson we learned over and over in 2009 is that it was a mistake to anticipate weakness. The market consistently ran up much further than many folks thought reasonable and produced some impressive short squeezes.
Although we are only two days into the new year, the action still feels very much like it did in 2009. That means we have to respect the strength and not be overly concerned about when it might end. That doesn't mean that we should become undisciplined, but until the bulls actually do something wrong they deserve our respect.
The dollar is weak again this morning, which is helping to boost gold, oil and commodities, but the indices are around flat. Apple (AAPL) is active on some confirmation that its iTablet device will indeed be on the market in the next few months.

Avatari edu sunnib IMAXit (IMAX) uusi võimalusi otsima & NYT kirjutab, et koos Discovery & Sonyiga plaanitaks juba järgmisel aastal tuua turule 3D telekanal (IMAX kaupleb täna +4.4%):
NY Times reports Discovery (DISCA), Imax and Sony (SNE) are forming a joint venture for a 3-D television channel, two people with knowledge of the deal said. The joint venture will be announced sometime Tuesday, timed to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where 3-D television is expected to be a hot topic. The three companies will own equal stakes in the channel, according to one of the people with knowledge of the deal, who requested anonymity because the channel had not been announced. Discovery Communications, which operates the Discovery Channel, TLC and other cable channels, will distribute the channel, which has a 2011 start date. It is expected to showcase a mix of 3-D content, including entertainment and sports. It will also show some of the natural history programming that Discovery is well known for.
