  • 3 Feb : Is this rebound for real ? AA, MMR, UAL, DJ 0 comments
    Feb 3, 2010 9:31 AM | about stocks: AA, UAUA, MMR

    Is this rebound in DJ for real ? It remains to be seen over the performance of DJ over the next few nights. I am not so convinced at this stage of a strong rebound for the reason that the volume on DJ seems pretty weak and low evenr though DJ did make a spectacular 100+ pts rebound yesterday. Also Shanghai Index barely closes above 3000 point today. Until i see strength in the two dominant super giant economies, i would remain cautious and bias towards shorting positions.

    Dow Jones (DJI 10296.850000 ↑1.09%) Industrial

    Relative strength remains to be seen over the next few sessions. I would like to see a higher volume traded to accompany the rebound. If DJ fails he rebound, it may test to breakdown the 10129 region again.

    UAL (UAUA 13.63 ↓0.66%)

    Airline stocks are holding well for this round of onslaught and mayhem. Most of them including LCC (5.9 ↓1.01%), Delta Airline has not broken the downtrend. But with the DJ still weak in the doldrum, how long can this airline stock continue to hold ?

    3 Feb UAL

    MMR

    After the broke out from $9 about 2 weeks ago, the stock is holding well and has not even broken its 13D MA. Yesterday it rebounds with a less than exciting volume on a day when DJ gains more than 100 points. Lets watch to see if it can continue to break the $17 and the current consolidation zone ?

    3 Feb MMR

    Alcoa Inc

    Will AA continue to rebound strongly after a spinning top yesterday despite better than expected quarterly earnings ? Trading volume has picked up but not to be so sure but the strength of the bounce remains to be seen. I certainly would like to see more than a spinning top on a day DJ appreciate more than 100 points.
