x 0 x 0 Alert Admin	MARKET SNAPSHOT U.S. stocks turn lower as techs weigh Cisco falls ahead of earnings; Hewlett-Packard weighs on Dow By Nick Godt, MarketWatch Last Update: 11:13 AM ET Feb 6, 2007 NEW YORK (MarketWatch) - U.S. stocks turned lower on Tuesday, as weakness in technology affected sentiment, with investors cautiously awaiting for the release of earnings from Cisco Systems Inc. after the close. Caution also continued to temper the advance of a broad market that's been struggling to find direction as the fourth-quarter earnings season start winds down. "This has been the trend lately," said Michael Malone, trading analyst at Cowen & Co. "We're sort of melting higher." The Dow Jones Industrial Average shifted in and out of positive territory, and was last down 5 points at 12.656. The S&P 500 fell 0.1 points to 1,446, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 9.4 points at 2,461. The Dow was weighed by shares of Hewlett-Packard Co., which fell 1% after news that Eastman Kodak is introducing a competing line of higher-priced printers that feature lower-priced cartridges. Broad weakness among blue chips offset gains from the likes of Alcoa Inc., Dupont and Coca Cola Co. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. also gained 0.3% after the retailer announced that it is testing a possible video download service that would offer more than 3,000 films and television shows. Wal-Mart's download service will compete with that of Apple Inc., whose shares dropped 0.6%. -------------

x 0 x 0 Alert Admin	INDICATIONS U.S. futures up before Paulson, Bernanke speeches Wal-Mart set to launch video download service By Steve Goldstein & Tomi Kilgore, MarketWatch Last Update: 7:50 AM ET Feb 6, 2007 LONDON (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stock futures sported a tepid rise on Tuesday ahead of speeches from Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, with Wal-Mart's move into the video download market likely to be a focus. S&P 500 futures edged up 1.30 points at 1,455.00 and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 3.50 points at 1,809.00. Dow industrial futures improved 12 points to 12,715. U.S. stocks closed little moved on Monday despite a flurry of deals. The Dow industrials ended up 8 points, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 5 points and the S&P 500 declined 1.4 points. There's not much in the way of economic releases from the U.S. on Tuesday, but Treasury Secretary Paulson is due to testify before the U.S. Ways and Means committee at 10 a.m. Eastern, and Fed Chairman Bernanke will make a speech in Omaha, Neb. at 1:30 p.m. Fed presidents Michael Moskow and Janet Yellen also will be delivering speeches. The dollar was mixed, slipping against the euro but mostly unchanged vs. the yen. Gold futures tacked on $3.60 to $659.70 an ounce in electronic trading. Oil futures rose 94 cents to $59.67 a barrel in electronic trading, and has now gained 15% over the last 3 weeks. Wal-Mart said it was launching a test version of a video download service, which will include more than 3,000 movies and TV titles from major Hollywood studios and TV networks. The service will compete with Apple Inc.'s download service. The stock was up 0.4% at $84.25 in pre-open trading. Eastman Kodak may also be in focus on the introduction of higher-priced printers with lower-priced cartridges. That will put the company in competition with Hewlett-Packard, Canon, Seiko Epson and Lexmark International. In earnings news, Tyco International reported fiscal first-quarter earnings and revenue that rose over year-earlier levels. Excluding non-recurring items, earnings would have topped Wall Street forecasts. Duke Energy reported fourth-quarter earnings that fell from last year, but results excluding non-recurring items topped expectations. National Semiconductor shares declined 2% in Frankfurt after the company said it now expects third-quarter revenue to decrease 14% to 15% from the $501.6 million reported in the second quarter because of lower shipments. National Semi previously expected third-quarter revenue to be down 8% to 11% sequentially. Networking bellwether Cisco Systems reports results after the close. The stock was up 0.6% at $27.65 in pre-open trading. ---------------------

x 0 x 0 Alert Admin	MARKET SNAPSHOT U.S. stocks to pull back at Monday's opening But investors are encouraged by new Dow Jones Transports highs By Leslie Wines, MarketWatch Last Update: 9:13 AM ET Feb 5, 2007 NEW YORK (MarketWatch) - U.S. stocks are headed for a lower opening Monday as investors assess recent gains, but Wal-Mart Stores is likely to trade higher after the retail giant gave a preliminary same-store sales report that exceeded a prior forecast. In the financial sector, State Street Corp. agreed to buy Financial Services Corp.for about $4.5 billion in stock. The futures contract for the Dow Jones Industrial Average last was down 14 points at 12,675. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 were 2 points lower at 1,451.10 and down 1.2 points at 1,806.0. U.S. stocks closed mixed Friday but chalked up gains for the week. A weaker-than-expected January employment report eased investor concern about inflation but weighed on economically-sensitive stocks on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. A sense of caution should prevail at Monday's opening, although investors remain encouraged that the Dow Jones Transports, which had been lagging the Dow industrials, on Friday set a new high. The Russell 2000 also set a fresh record. The new high in the Dow Jones transportation stocks confirmed the Dow industrials' recent gains, according to followers of the Dow Theory. "The averages saw confirmation from both the Russell 2000 and the Dow Jones Transports," said Marc Pado, chief U.S. market strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald. "These intermediate to long-standing divergences had weighed on sentiment," Pado said. "However, they joined the party last week, confirming a continuation of the bull market in 2007." The data highlight of the day will be the Institute for Supply Management's non-manufacturing index for January, which is due at 10 a.m. Eastern. The MarketWatch forecast, based on a poll of economists, is for a headline reading of 57.0%, which would be slightly higher than the 56.7% reading produced in December. In pre-market electronic trade, shares of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. rose 1.3% to $48.69. Over the weekend, Wal-Mart gave a preliminary estimate for a 2.2% rise in comparable-stores sales for January, beating the retailer's prior forecast for a gain of 1% to 2%. The news wasn't all good. The world's biggest retailer also said same-store sales rose 2% on the year - its lowest annual growth rate in 25 years. ------------ NEW YORK (MarketWatch) - U.S. stocks are headed for a lower opening Monday as investors assess recent gains, but Wal-Mart Stores is likely to trade higher after the retail giant gave a preliminary same-store sales report that exceeded a prior forecast.

x 0 x 0 Alert Admin	Next week in US market - Bullish! Good time to 'Exit' at these highs ..... ?!! --------------- MARKET SNAPSHOT Ease of inflationary pressures seen lifting stocks Earnings season to roll on with reports from Cisco Systems, Walt Disney By Carla Mozee, MarketWatch Last Update: 7:00 AM ET Feb 3, 2007 SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - U.S. stocks are expected to extend their record-setting gains next week, taking their cue from the Federal Reserve's upbeat comments on the economy and inflation and amid fresh earnings reports from companies such as Cisco Systems Inc. and Walt Disney Co. "We're going to grind our way higher," next week, as corporate earnings strengthen and stocks look like a better deal relative to bonds, said Jim Awad, Chairman of Awad Asset Management. The rate of corporate earnings growth in the fourth quarter has now edged up to 10.3% from 9.4% last week, according to Thomson Financial, putting the quarter back on track for a 13th consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. Higher-than-expected results this past week from Boeing Co.and Exxon Mobil Corp. boosted the average of companies beating estimates to 5.1%, said the research firm. Brian Gendreau, investment strategist at ING Investment Management, doesn't expect another triple-digit rise on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which occurred during trading on Wednesday. But he does expect a continuation of the upward trend in stocks "until the market re-prices the Fed. I don't think that's going to happen next week." Blue-chips will be under a close eye next week. The Dow Jones Transportation Average ended at a new high Friday and followers of the so-called Dow Theory believe that fresh highs in the index are a bullish sign. Wall Street will once again be on earnings watch, with results due from tech bellwether Cisco Systems, Dow component Walt Disney Co., and local-phone services provider Qwest Communications. David Sowerby, portfolio manager at Loomis Sayles, said he's interested in Marriott International's report to evaluate activity in the travel and leisure industry as a gauge of consumer spending. That report is scheduled for Thursday, as is the bulk of January same-store sales reports from retailers. Retailers overall are expected to report a rise of 3% in monthly sales, down from 4.9% a year ago, according to Thomson Financial. A report on unit-labor costs, a key measure of inflationary pressures from a tight labor market, due Wednesday will keep inflation figures in play during the upcoming sessions. The view from the Federal Reserve that core inflation is moderating while economic growth had juiced the markets on Wednesday and Thursday. Gendreau expects that effect to linger in the markets next week. "If you ask the bulls to write their dream scenario, this would be it. It doesn't get any better than this." What concerns Awad heading into next week is the "awful" geopolitical situation between the U.S. and Iran that has helped push up the price of oil above $59 a barrel on Friday and by 6.5% for the week. "Our [market] internals are strong. I worry about an external shock to the system, and if anything, the rhetoric has been increasing on both sides." The Associated Press, citing diplomats, reported Friday that technical crews have moved centrifuges into an underground complex in Iran, setting the stage for a program to create nuclear arms. "Oil traders thought it best not to stay short over the weekend with rising geopolitical risks and falling thermometers," said Phil Flynn, a senior analyst at Alaron Trading. ----------------

x 0 x 0 Alert Admin	MARKET SNAPSHOT U.S. stocks close mixed after jobs report Lower-than-expected payrolls, wages, soothe inflation concerns By Nick Godt, MarketWatch Last Update: 4:22 PM ET Feb 2, 2007 NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks closed mixed Friday but chalked up gains for the week, after a weaker-than-expected January employment report eased investor concern about inflation but weighed on economically-sensitive stocks on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. "Some pull-back isn't too surprising after the two strong days we've had," said Ken Tower, chief market strategist at CyberTrader. "It's the end of the week, so short-term traders are trying to catch some profit." The Dow closed down 20.19 points at 12,653.49, weighed down by recent gainers such as Alcoa Inc., Boeing Co. and 3M Co.. The blue-chip average advanced 1.3% for the week. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index finished up 2.45 points at 1,448.39, and took a 1.8% gain for the week. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 7.50 points to 2,475.88 and registered a 1.7% weekly advance. Even Microsoft Corp., which was upgraded by Banc of America to a buy rating, fell 1.1%. "The outlook for investors has changed from how quickly will the Fed ease to how robust will profit growth be while the Fed leaves rates unchanged," Tower said. Crude oil futures reversed early losses and rallied $1.78, or 3.1%, to close $59.08, scoring a 6% advance for the week. ------------------- "Some pull-back isn't too surprising after the two strong days we've had," said Ken Tower, chief market strategist at CyberTrader.
