Big-Cap Tech Selloff Hits Nasdaq With Another Large Distribution Day; Pharmaceuticals And Drugs Hold-Up DJIA.

January 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Stocks on the Nasdaq simply got nailed today, as a weak outlook by AAPL followed by two downgrades hit the stock with a 6% loss. This along with a weak profit outlook from LRCX with a downgrade simply was too much for the small-cap and tech indexes to handle.

At the close, the Nasdaq fell 1.5%, the SP 600 lost 1.1% and closed below its 50 dma, the SP 500 fell .3%, and the DJIA held like the champ it has been with a minimal .07% loss. Read more

Stock Market Indexes Take Off After An Early Choppy Session, Closing Near The Highs Of The Session

January 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment

A day of minor volatility gave way to a nice rally after 1pm EST sending all the indexes in a nice solid uptrend into the close. The possible reason for the rally was a left-over feel good effect off the AAPL news in combination with another drop in crude oil. Today’s 3% drop now brings the yearly damage to 12% for crude.

At the close, the Nasdaq led the way with a .6% gain, the DJIA and the SP 500 followed with a .2% gain, and the SP 600 lagged with a .01% gain. The big winners were the IBD 85-85 and IBD 100 indexes which gained .7% and .9% respectively and the Nasdaq 100 which gained 1.1%. This was the sixth day in a row the Nasdaq and the Nasdaq 100 staged very strong intraday reversals. One look at the daily charts and all those tails shows that any selloff is being bought.
