Dow now down 37 points. Tech news worries Wall Street
Major
stock gauges fall, led by Nasdaq composite, as investors worry about
Dell delaying its report, Intel's troubles in Europe, Hewlett-Packard;
oil prices dip
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks slipped Monday morning, led by technology shares, as investors eyed discouraging news out of Dell, Intel and Hewlett Packard, and opted to back out of equities. The Nasdaq composite (down 10.54 to 2,155.25, Charts) lost nearly 0.4 percent more than 50 minutes into the session. The Dow Jones industrial average (down 14.32 to 11,377.79, Charts) and the broader Standard & Poor's 500 (down 4.44 to 1,294.48, Charts) index both saw smaller declines. |

Dow and Nasdasq opened down on 5th aniversary of 9/11 .... - 25 points and - 4 points respectively now. Think US markets will finish GREEN at the end of the day as a respect for those who died that fateful day .... And to show the terrorists that we can still be positive despite their cowardly terror acts! |

Now investors can turn their efforts to the notorious trends of Sep. Self-fulfilling or seasonality? That is the question. Few notions have been more touted of late than the seasonality effect of September. Yes, it is true that while Oct is known for its massive drawdowns and rallies from the depths, Sep has a reputation as the worst month for investor returns. And why not? A quick look at the data shows that since 1970, the S&P returned an average of -1% during Sep, the only month to have an average return in the red. Since 1970, Sep has yielded a negative S&P 60% of the time. What's amazing is that the stats remain poor no matter how you slice the time period. For example, since 1990, the S&P has spent 56% of Seps in the red for an average "Sep return" that is barely below 0. Slice it thinner to results since 2000, and 2/3 of the Sep returns are negative, with an average of -4%. In other words, this seasonal pattern is one that investors should definitely heed. But there may be a flip side. If Sep starts out on a roll and continues upwards (and last week was a good start), this pervasive pessimism could quickly unwind into buying. Consider the combination of the sentiment conundrum and Sep seasonality enough to be wary of the current market environment. While there has been some room for the market to move higher over the past few weeks, the game is likely to get a little tougher. The group think of Wall Street is less likely to defend the current market given the well-publicized Sep seasonality and more likely to dump stocks that have provided some short-term gains. Consider a break of the S&P's 20-day moving average a warning of this short-term weakness. |

After a sleepy start to September, Wall Street is set to pick up the pace this week.
Reports are due on the trade balance, import and export prices, manufacturing, consumer sentiment, and most notably - retail sales and consumer prices. A few quarterly earnings reports even trickle this week, with Wall Street brokerages including Goldman Sachs and Bear Stearns due to release results. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial expect third-quarter earnings will jump about 14.4% yoy, but the first big batch of results won't start pouring for a month. A number of Fed officials speak this week as well, including two voting members of the central bank's policy-making arm: Vice chairman Donald Kohn and San Francisco Fed president Janet Yellen on Tuesday. Last week, Yellen made comments to the effect that the Fed may need to restart its recently paused interest rate-hiking campaign because of stubbornly high inflationary pressures. That didn't thrill investors and pressured stocks. Although few economists expect the central bank to lift rates at the Sept. 20 policy meeting, there is the risk of more rate hikes before the end of the year, especially if inflation doesn't cool off. The news week is also notable since Monday marks the five-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Beware September Last week's choppiness was partly seasonal, with investors skittish at the start of September, typically the worst month of the year on Wall Street. The negative seasonal pull is likely to continue, analysts say, unless the economic news should prove particularly supportive. The fact that the stock market clocked in an unusually strong August means September could be extra tough this year. The Nasdaq composite rose 4.5% in the month, the Dow added 1.8% and the S&P 500 index added 2.2%. "You have to keep in mind that most of the rally we saw last month was on spotty volume, with most of the big players paying more attention to beach balls than ticker symbols," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank. But now, the big guys are back. Typically, September brings house cleaning, with money managers shedding losers before the end of the quarter. The end of September is also the end of the fiscal year for many mutual funds. "Going forward, I think there is more vulnerability," Ablin added. But some investors saw it another way. The seasonality factors are so well known by investors at this point, said Todd Salamone, director of trading at Schaeffer's Investment Research, that weakness in the month can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. But the anticipation of a weak period can also reduce the likelihood or the intensity of any fall selloff, he added. "We're vulnerable right now with respect to the fact that the market is trading near the top of the recent range, but we're less vulnerable than we were maybe a year ago," Salamone said. "The underlying sentiment seems to be a little better, at least for now." |

Next Week IMF week, and since it is held in sg, I believe that market will be in "Green mode". STI stocks should be a good trading take.. further supported by crude oil trading at 4 months low... :) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Reassuring comments from Cleveland Federal Reserve President Sandra Pianalto about inflation. She said she is concerned about inflation, but that economic activity is moderating. She added that the stability of inflation expectations was another element in her support of the Fed's holding rates steady last month. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Lennar Corp.'s announced that it was lowering its third-quarter profit forecast, joining several of its rival homebuilders in pointing to lackluster demand in a slowing housing market. This provides mounting evidence of a slowing housing sector and may leave Wall Street unnerved at the prospect of a sharp economic slowdown. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Wednesday's action was the first distribution day since the August 15th follow through day. There has been nothing normal about the recent rally. In fact, I believe it has been a "less than meets the eye" rally. The dirty little secret is that the Dow and S&P have masked very poor action in many important areas of the market. The RAILS have not budged. The TRUCKERS have not budged. BIOTECHS have not budged. The AIR FREIGHTS have not budged. The RETAILERS have not budged. HOUSING is now breaking new lows. The DISK DRIVES hardly budged and are now gagging badly. The BROKERS have lagged. The LENDERS are acting like the RED SOX. COMMODITY stocks have just stayed in range...and most importantly, the SMALL CAP and MID CAP INDICES have lagged badly. All this while the Dow and S&P were close to cycle highs. In other words, this a narrowly focused rally and not a broad-based one.
If TECHNOLOGY and more specifically, the SOX (semicon) tops, that would be bad. The SEMIS are vital to the health of the market and they may have just put in the high of this latest move. One day is just one day...but in the context of the past few months, it may just be an important day. OIL prices continue to head lower and OIL STOCKS are now plunging. This now includes some of the bigger cap names like COP, MRO, OXY and XOM. Normally, falling oil prices lead to a higher Wall Street. But not so now. WORLD MARKETS may have also just topped. This has to be watched closely because WORLD MARKETS joining in to any downside would be a confirming negative. SHIPPERS have now topped also. This group has been acting well for the better part of 3 months. Sep could be lousy. Trade with caution! |
