$NKBP, $CCM, $CYOU – The IPO market is heating back up just as we predicted.  Check in on our friend Francis Gaskins on some possibly HOT Chinese IPO’s.  

Keep in mind we are looking for profits, not long term relationships; IPO’s will often times rally but then back fill providing us an opportunity to play the bounce but you have to catch it.

AMEX Shares Look To Sizzle While CITI and B of A Fizzle

December 17, 2009 · Leave a Comment

“American Express is moving in a nice rising uptrend. For the short term there’s some support at $42.50, the peak of July,” Royce Tostrams, technical analyst at Tostrams Groep  said. Tostrams believes that American Express shares will break higher and continue to rise above $50, from their Wednesday closing price just above $41.

 On the other hand BAC shares are currently moving sideways between $14 and $18.25, and closed just above $15 on Wednesday. “These lower price peaks suggest there’s selling pressure coming in the market,” Tostrams said.
 
Citi group isn’t looking any better, closing at $3.45 on Wednesday. “We’ve fallen below short-term support just above $4. Now the market is moving towards its July lows at $2.55. So I believe as the falling trend remains in tact. You have to be very, very careful with Citigroup,” Tostrams said.
 
We’ll be keeping a close eye on B of A and Citi, this could be a good buy but we’re not ready to jump in just yet, for now we’ll watch from the sidelines.

Come And Trim My Christmas Tree With Some Share’s Of Tiffany’s

December 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment

 

$TIF is looking great this holiday season, and for more than just jewelry. With a 52 week low of $16.70 it’s been climbing pretty steadily since, to a high today of $42.92.
 
Also looking to fill my portfolio with these stocking stuffers:
Boeing ($BA) looks like a great buy, announcing yesterday that ” 787 Dreamliner took to the sky for the first time today, ushering a new era in air travel”. The price today is down .34%, however, overall has been steadily increasing in price, and should expect this continue into the new year.
 
Along with $NOC which also continues to steadily climb in price with  Ruebel quoting “It’s not too late to get into the defense stocks. The reality is that the defense budget is going to be flat, which is better than expectations from 6 months ago..” 6 months ago NOC traded at a high of $48.13 and today we’re looking at a high of $56.17.

DIAMONDS AREN’T JUST A GIRLS BEST FRIEND

December 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment

 

$ZLC The latest stock to catch our eye as one that may be a bounce is Zale Corp. The stock has be dwindling down from it’s high of $8.20 in mid Oct to a low of $3.19, caused in part by the company’s disclosure that holiday sales were not coming in as strongly as anticipated; however it does appear that it has bottomed out and we could be seeing a bounce shortly. With today’s price already starting to move up with a high of $3.44 and with volume of 1,037,494 this is definitely one to keep your eye on.

Tis’ The Season to IPO

November 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Following our favoriate IPO anaylst, Francis Gaskins of IPO Desktop we have radared $DG which is scheduled to trade on Friday, November 13.  

While discount stores are booming in a down economy it is uncertain how this IPO will perform from a purely trading stand point.  Many IPO’s are good for an easy 5-15% gain or short gain.  We are still doing more research using information from the IPO Report. 

  • Largest discount retailer in the United States by number of stores, with 8,577 stores located in 35 states as of July 31, 2009, primarily in the southern, southwestern, midwestern and eastern United States.
  • New DG stores are typically cash flow positive in their first year, generally pay back capital in under two years, and, DG believes, deliver attractive returns relative to competitors.

While this all sounds positive the oracle of IPO’s doesn’t see it giving DG only a 7 out of 20.  Please write in with any feedback.

The Technology of Making Gains

November 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Never one to miss a good call, the hardware has been one of our most fun trading sectors trading heavily in $APPL, $DELL and $HPQ.  Each one of these has been around a 50% gain since or original July 2009 calls shown here. 

Apple (AAPL: 202.19*, +0.73, +0.36%) is perhaps the best-performing big company in America at the moment. Despite sluggish consumer spending over the past year, shoppers remained willing, even eager, to pay a premium for Apple computers, phones and music players.

As Sharp As A Razor

October 14, 2009 · 1 Comment

Always one to brag (kidding, well sorta) we called the bottom on $RZ almost too easy.  Check back on the 28th and see for yourself: http://themarketorder.com/2009/09/28/bouncing-raser/.  I have included a excert from Market News Video: 

“Raser provided investors with an update on its plug-in hybrid electric vehicle project. The company had demonstrated its technology in California with Arnold Schwarznegger, and also on CNBC, using an H3 Hummer. Raser said the SUV can deliver 140 miles per gallon, and can go 50 miles without using gasoline and using up only 60% of its battery pack. Raser is discussing potential partnerships with several automakers, and is completing its final review of its drivetrain technology with General Motors (MTLQQ).”

RZ chart

If you enjoyed average buy in around $1.30 like we did then the gain thus far is enough to lock in profits.  There is no telling if this will stall out as it tests the $1.75 so if you do decide to hold keep your eyes peeled.
