Ipco (2.8 cents) — Temporary rebound
MONDAY, 18 MARCH 2013Prices are likely to trade on a weak note for the next few weeks because the breakout of the large base formation has clearly failed. Any rebound is likely to be temporary, with resistance appearing at three cents. This was the level of the neckline of the base formation. Short-term stochastics and 21-day RSI are at the low end of their range, triggering the bounce. However, quarterly momentum is falling from a relatively overextended high and has further to fall. Support is around 1.9 cents.

There are too much supplies causing the price to face resistance. Labour costs are also contributing factors.

Midas Holdings – Technical SELL with +12% potential return Last price: S$0.50 Resistance: S$0.53 Support: S$0.44 SELL with a target price of S$0.44 with stops placed above S$0.53. Prices appear to be unable to close the gap down which was created on 22 Feb 13 and may continue to trend lower. Its mid Bollinger band could be acting a resistance. Its Stochastics looks poised to form a bearish crossover. Watch to see if its MACD could hook down below its centreline instead. - UOBKH

March 19, 2013, 8:09 a.m. EDT 10 reasons to run with Wall Street’s bullsCommentary: Why this four-year-old rally is just getting started
ROCKVILLE, Md. (MarketWatch) — There’s an old saying about Wall Street climbing a wall of worry. And right now there are plenty of worries — from sequestration to Cyprus to a China slowdown.Has the market rally come too far, too fast?The stock market's race to all-time highs has impressed and surprised many on Wall Street. But even bulls are wondering whether the rally has run its course. But these problems keep the market rally honest. Furthermore, there are a host of encouraging signs for investors who can look beyond the negative headlines. Below are 10 reasons the market could move even higher. Feel free to share your own observations in the comments section, and for balance please read a companion piece: 10 reasons a correction could be coming. And join me online at 2 p.m. today (Tuesday) for a live Twitter debate on the topic. Just submit your comments on either the bull or the bear case to me at@JeffReevesIP and use the hashtag #bullorbear in your tweets. Now put on your rally cap: 1. Banks are backFat cat financials are unpopular, I know, but on the whole it’s good that major banks are doing better. Healthier bank balance sheets are the result of increased lending, lower loss reserves and higher capital cushions. Moreover, systemic risk from the mortgage meltdown has mostly been wound down, as has the overhang of mortgage-related lawsuits. A hard fact about capitalism is that access to capital is key — and more loans to small businesses as well as increased mortgage lending are signs of a healthy economy. 2. You can’t fight the FedForget that blip in the Federal Reserve meeting minutes about possibly tightening policy ahead of schedule. The bottom line is that the Fed has its foot to the floor with its zero interest-rate policy and quantitative easing, and Bernanke & Co. are decidedly in favor of stocks and against interest-bearing assets. True, some risk-averse Americans continue to sit this rally out and others have made decent money in Treasurys. But broadly, central bank policies favor stocks vs. the alternatives — and as this rally since 2009 has shown, most investors would be wise to go with the flow rather than fight the Fed while loose monetary policy reigns. 3. Jobs and spending
The 7.7% unemployment rate the U.S. printed for February was the lowest in four years, and that trend of slow and steady improvement looks to be continuing based on the latest look at growing job openings and declining layoffs. We also just learned aboutstrong retail sales from February that show Americans are spending despite the payroll tax hike, the sequester and other supposed risks to consumer confidence. 4. No recession riskThe St. Louis Federal Reserve actually has a “recession probabilities” chart based on a combination of non-farm payrolls, industrial production, real personal income and manufacturing/trade sales. The measure is close to zero right now. Also, a separate indicator from Cullen Roche’s Orcam Investment Research shows no near-term risk of a downturn based on his firm’s proprietary recession index. 5. HousingMany pointed out in 2011 and early 2012 that there could be no sustainable recovery without the participation of housing. Well, now we have participation in a big way, with housing construction as well as home values rising decisively. Looking forward, optimistic researchers such as Nomura are projecting housing starts to grow by as much as 30%year-over-year in 2013. That’s good for jobs as well as the “wealth effect” in American households. 6. ManufacturingIndustrial production in 2012’s fourth quarter was much stronger than reported. Plus,durable goods orders jumped in January by the highest amount in more than a year, thanks to strong demand for machinery and manufactured metal products. U.S. Manufacturing PMI has remained in growth mode since late 2009, and recent numbers for February saw output rise at the fastest rate since March 2012. 7. Measured enthusiasmThe American Association of Individual Investors noted in its most recent sentiment survey that while bullish sentiment is high, so is bearish sentiment. Despite the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.43% hitting an all-time record, bearish sentiment recently rose to 38.5% of respondents, vs. an historical average of 30.5%. Hardly “irrational exuberance” there. In other words, if equities can rally without the “Great Rotation” or exceptional bullishness or retail investors, it suggests that further gains are ahead, or, at worst, the gains will stick. It’s hard to claim the market is full of sheep buying anything not nailed down when you see headlines trumpeting a 100-year bear market. 8. Buybacks and buyoutsThere’s cash on the sidelines as it relates to individual investors, and there’s idle cash that businesses are sitting on. Private equity is flush with cash, and corporate cash on balance sheets is double the average level. This has caused merger and acquisition spending to top $219 billion so far in 2013, compared with $85 billion in the same time frame last year. Clearly, businesses think good opportunities are out there — whether they be via buyouts or a record amount of stock repurchases. 9. New high is not a topRecent data from Ned Davis Research reviewed the 13 highs for the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index SPX -0.55% since its 1950s debut. The data show that in the worst case, the S& P 500 tacked on another 2.3% over 132 days before peaking. In the best case, the bulls marched ahead for around 7.5 more years — 2,711 days, to be exact — and added another 221.6%. The median since 1954 is 417 days and 18% upside. Granted, this sample size is small, but it’s noteworthy. 10. Stocks can rise even if the economy stallsThis final point is key: Economic growth and stock market performance are not joined at the hip. The Dow doesn’t move in tandem with GDP. Sure, there is an economic element to stocks and corporate profitability. But a recent Bank of New York Mellon report cited inThe Economist showed no hard link between dividends, earnings growth or capital appreciation in the stock market.
In fact, from 1972 to 2009 the nations with the highest GDP growth rate saw stock markets deliver smaller gains than those with the lowest GDP growth rate. So much for the idea that you must have a red hot economy to support a red hot stock market.

March 19, 2013, 8:30 a.m. EDT U.S. housing starts rise 0.8% in February
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Construction on new U.S. homes nudged up 0.8% in February to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 917,000, with modest gains for single-family homes and apartments, as longer-term trends also signaled a housing market that continues to strengthen, according to data released Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected construction starts in February to rise to a rate of 913,000 from an original January estimate of 890,000. On Tuesday the government upwardly revised January's starts rate to 910,000. Looking at less volatile longer-term trends, starts in February were up 28% from the same period in the prior year, but remain below a bubble peak of almost 2.3 million in 2006. Starts for single-family homes rose 0.5% in February to a rate of 618,000, the highest level since June 2008. Meanwhile, starts for structures with at least five units increased 0.7% to a rate of 285,000. The government also reported Tuesday that building permits, a sign of future demand, rose 4.6% in February to a rate of 946,000, also hitting the highest rate since June 2008.

Recovery Builds as Housing Numbers Pick Up Steam
Published: Tuesday, 19 Mar 2013 | 8:33 AM ET
 Getty Images Apartment construction in Houston, TX Groundbreaking to build new U.S. homes rose in February and new permits for construction rose to the highest level since 2008, a sign the nation's housing market recovery is gathering steam. The Commerce Department said on Tuesday that starts at building sites for homes rose 0.8 percent last month to a 917,000-unit annual rate. That was in line with analysts' expectations of a 915,000-unit rate. Starts for single-family units, which comprised about two thirds of the total, edged up 0.5 percent to their highest level since June 2008. Permits for future home construction rose to a 946,000-unit rate, also the quickest since June 2008. Data for U.S. housing starts can be volatile and is sometimes subject to large revisions. The government revised upward its estimate for January housing starts to a 910,000-unit rate. The housing market has regained some footing after a historic collapse that helped push the economy into a deep recession. Home building added to national economic growth last year for the first time since 2005 and is expected to provide stronger support this year. That could help counter the drag expected from tighter fiscal policy as Washington works to shrink the federal budget deficit. |

Washington quietly on track to avert another crisis, Goldman saysMarch 19, 2013, 8:09 AM Remember the third leg of the trio of monsters that Washington was confronted with at the end of last year? That was the fiscal cliff, the sequester and the threat of a government shutdown on March 27. As we known, the cliff has been sailed over while the sequester has been implemented, in what can reasonably be described as a 1-1 draw on political victories. But the third leg, the possibility of a government shutdown if what’s called a continuing resolution is not passed, seems likely to be averted. That’s according to a research note from Goldman Sachs, which pointed to the 63-35cloture vote Monday evening which paves the way for the Senate to vote as early as Tuesday on the continuing resolution. So long as the bill doesn’t get messed with too much, the Goldman analysts expect the House to pass it with little fanfare, and for President Barack Obama to then sign it. Under the legislation, the level of spending will stay at sequester levels, but some of the domestic agencies will get more flexibility to implement the spending. The Goldman analysts say the next opportunity to reverse the sequester won’t come until the summer, when the debt ceiling will need to be lifted, and when a funding for the October 1-starting fiscal year will need to be passed. Oh, and despite this particular shutdown being reached, the Goldman analysts assign a “very unlikely” probability that the Democrats and Republicans can come together on a 10-year budget that each side has introduced. |
