Stocks Rally For Second Straight Day, On Lower To Flat Volume; Funds Still Have No Interest In This Market
March 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment
It was another day of light gains, for the stock market. However, today, had a bit more of a steady bullish bias to it, unlike yesterday, as big-cap indexes closed near their HOD. The good news for stocks came on the back of a better-than-expected housing starts number for February. That number was up 9% for the month, which is much better than the 14% drop in January. The bad news, in that mix, came from building permits as they fell again by 2.5%. The other positives effecting stocks was M & A activity. The news that CYTC is making a full bid for ADZA and that PALM might receive a bid for its business might have had a positive impact on stocks. Read more
Stocks Find Intraday Support, Again, With All Indexes Closing Higher On The Day; Leading Stocks Continue Outperformance

It was yet another driftless day for stocks, overall, as comments from Fed heads Bernanke, Yellen, Moskow, and the Treasury Secretary had no major effect on the stock market. There was no catalyst for stocks to move in one way or the other. It was basically about earnings action in individual stocks and nothing else, today.
Afternoon Rally Gives Stocks Support, Off Of Yesterday’s Selloff; Nasdaq Holds Its 50 DMA, SP 600 Regains Key Line.

Stocks were able to find some support, yesterday, after a nasty selloff on Thursday did some damage to stocks. IBM started the day off wrong when its stock gapped down over 3.5% and put pressure on the indexes. However, a late afternoon rally, for no apparent reason, helped lift the SP 500 and Nasdaq to a positive close. Read more

Stocks gapped up in the morning, held those levels, and rallied for the rest of the day on the back of another back-breaking decline in oil. This huge 4% drop in oil helped the entire market rally, on Thursday. Oil has now fell 15% in 2007.
At the close, with techs and small caps leading, the SP 600 gained 1.2%, the Nasdaq rallied 1% breaking out above the December highs, and the SP 500 and DJIA gained .6%. The DJIA also hit another all-time high.
Stocks Rally As Techs Lead The Way; Traders Who Sold Or Went Short Yesterday Feel The Pain.

What started out as a crazy morning, once again, for stocks, quickly turned into a day of steady advances. The treat of the day and the possible cause to this was another fall in crude oil prices. The fall today, after yesterday, brings the two day total to 8.9%. Besides that, however, there was no other catalyst.
At the close, the Nasdaq led by a healthy margin rallying 1.25%, the SP 600 gained .15%, the SP 500 gained .12%, and lagging was the DJIA with a .05% gain. Leading stocks were up .4%, doing better than all but the Nassy.

What a way to start off the New Year! Today, stocks showed us all why it is silly to have convictions. After gapping up very strong this morning on the back of some strong manufacturing data, stocks continued to rally. However, after the FOMC minutes were released, stocks did the exact opposite and reversed into negative territory. Thankfully, for the bulls, stocks found solid support at 3pm and rallied into the close, giving the DJIA and Nasdaq a positive close.

Stocks gained ground off of crude oil rising 2%, drifting with an upward bias on the DJ and downward bias to a green close. The gains in the face of bad news was a clear sign of just how strong this market STILL is.
