Microsoftilt on kardetud Apple’i iPhone’iga konkureeriva toote väljastamist, kuid Bill Gates on need jutud ümber lükkamas, lubades smart phone segmendis keskenduda üksnes Windows Mobile programmi tarkvarale. Samuti rääkis Gates partnerluslepingutest erinevate telefonide tootjatega alates Samsungist ja lõpetades Motorolaga (MOT), uskudes, et niimoodi võidab Microsoft rohkem, kui enda telefoni hakataks välja arendama.
Täna, 9. jaanuaril on majandusandmete osas vaikne päev ning pullid on oma viimase kahe nädala veriseid haavu lakkumas. Abi oodatakse nii Fedilt kui ka fiskaalpoliitilisi vahendeid valitsuselt tarbijate toetamiseks. Eilne pea 30%line langus Countrywide (CFC) aktsiates näitas, et hoolimata ettevõtte-poolsetest kommentaaridest, et firma pankrotti veel minemas ei ole, seda sõnumit lihtsalt ei usuta enam.
Viimase kaheksa kauplemispäevaga on Nasdaq kukkunud üle 10.5% ja S&P500 pisut üle 7.2%.
Goldman Sachs on täna taas väljas oma USA majanduslanguse teesiga - kui varem on räägitud 3%listest intressimääradest suve keskpaigaks, siis täna kuuleme 2.5%listest määradest 3. kvartaliks. Nende SKP kasvuprognoos 2008. aastaks on nadi 0.7%. 2008. aasta teise ja kolmanda kvartali aasta baasile viiduna SKP'd nähakse -1% ringis. Töötust ennustatakse 2009. aastaks tänaselt 5% pealt kasvavat 6.5% peale.
Üks väike tsitaat Doug Kassilt: "It's the hardest stock market to navigate ever."
Panen siia ühe graafiku, mis näitab, miks töötuse määr nii oluline on. Nimelt 100%-l juhtudest on USA langenud alati majanduslangusesse, kui töötuse määr tõuseb oma viiamsest põhjast enam kui 0.5 protsendipunkti... see on ka faktor, mis mängis suurt rolli Goldman Sachsi majanduslanguse teesi väljakujunemisel.
Don't 'Wait It Out'

We're getting hurt, but I'm a long-term investor.
-- Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud
Major shareholder of Citigroup (C)
One thing that has always greatly frustrated me about Wall Street is that there seems to be no appreciation of the idea that a multi-billionaire might approach the market differently than an average investor with a small portfolio. We hear how big investors like the prince or Warren Buffett aren't worried because they are holding for the long term. If they actually had a choice in how they approached the market that might be important, but they have to stick with big positions through thick and thin.
I don't really care how a Warren Buffett manages hundreds of billions of dollars. It has no relevance to me, but I would love to know what he would do if he had only $100,000. I bet he wouldn't simply park it in a big-cap stock for the long term.
In many cases, long-term investing is not the preferred approach to the market, but it's the only possible approach for a big investor.
I bring this up today because it is the argument that is so often used to push investors to sit idly by in a rotten market. "I'm a long-term investor, so I'm just going to sit and wait this out" is one of the most dangerous things an investor can do if he or she wants to produce superior gains.
The way to excel is to get out of the way when the market goes into a downtrend. If you can avoid even part of a bear market, you will be far ahead of the long-term investor who sits idly.
The argument against such an approach is that you can't time the market. But you don't need to time the market. You simply need to adhere to some generally accepted rules of portfolio management. When losses start to grow, draw a line in the sand and cut them at some point. You can always buy back your favorite stocks at some point, but in a poor market there is no knowing how low they can go.
Think of selling not as an irrevocable decision but as a form of insurance that can be removed by rebuying at some point. Selling is cheap and easy and can have some major psychological benefits if you use it wisely.
I bring this topic up today because this market has fallen into a downtrend. We are likely going to see a decent bounce fairly soon, but the market is broken and the likelihood is that more pain lies ahead. If you play defense now and don't just sit passively, you can end up far ahead of the pack when things start to act better. That means some additional work, but effort is usually rewarded.
We have another positive open on the way, but positive opens have not worked out well recently. We have consistently opened strong and closed weak, which is bear-market action. We'd be better off with a poor open that washed out hopeful bounce-buyers, but it isn't happening this morning.
I continue to think the Fed will make a move before its next scheduled meeting at the end of the month. Unfortunately, there is no way to time such a thing, and loading up in anticipation is a bet rather than prudent speculation. But with the market so grossly oversold and the risk of a Fed move out there pressing shorts is very dangerous.
Overseas markets were mixed, with a strong intraday reversal in Asia and Europe down. Gold continues to rally and oil is bouncing back a bit.

Kuna täna hommikul liikus turul agressiivselt ringi jutte sellest, et Föderaalreserv võib olla lähipäevil või isegi tänase kauplemispäeva keskel intresse alandamas, siis panen siia lihtsalt natukene huvitavat infot.
Ajalooliselt on olnud niimoodi, et kui üleüldse on päeva keskel intressimäärasid liigutatud, siis on tehtud seda pisut pärast USA lõunatundi ehk lootusrikkad kauplejad võivad turul seda oodata Eesti aja järgi kell 20.00 - 20.30 ning teate puudumisel oma lootuse taaskord koos turuga maha müüa.
See, kas ja kuna Fed langetab on ülimalt riskantne ja tegelikult võimatu ette öelda, kuid tahtsin 7 aasta taguse stsenaariumi siia üles riputada lihtsalt. CFC täna taas üle 10% miinuses ning finantsturgudel puudub absoluutselt igasugune usaldus majanduse, majandusstabiilsuse, ettevõtete ellujäämisvõimesse ja varsti kaob ilmselt ka investorite eneseusk iseendasse.

7 aastase taguse olukorraga on praegu veel pullide kasuks see veel,et ei ole tulnud kasumihoiatusi kus öeldakse ,et kasum langeb 50%, siis ju hakkas minu mälu põhjal suur langus mobiilitootjatest ,ericsson,elcoteg jne.
52 nädala uute põhjade ja tippude suhe on täna 24:1....
Joel, kas seekord on tulemuste tabelit ka kavas teha?
jaan71,
Plaan on täiesti olemas tõepoolest - usun, et järjepidevalt tehes annab see hea ülevaate ettevõtete reaalsetest kasumitest ja analüütikute ootustest. Aga kuna ettevõtted on 4. kvartali tulemusi teatamas koos aastalõpu omadega, siis läheb neil nende teatamisega tavapäraseest pisut enam aega, mis tähendab, et tulemuste tabeliteni veel aega on.
Aga nagu ikka, kui on mingeid ettevõtteid, mida tabelitesse kaasata ja neid seal seni olnud pole, andke aga teada ja püüan meeles pidada.

Says some of the best opportunities in the next five years will be created out of this credit crisis.
