Seven Ways to Profit from the GOP’s Pledge to Sustain Defense Spending / Companies / Sector Analysis

By: Money_Morning

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleLarry D. Spears writes: Investors typically hate it when a stock bombs, but there are also times when bombs can make for good investments - and right now could be one of them.

With the Republicans seizing control of the U.S. House of Representatives and making gains in the Senate in Tuesday's mid-term elections, it now seems far more likely that the GOP will be able to honor its pledge not to cut defense outlays as it seeks to rein in discretionary government spending.

Outstanding Investor Profit Opportunity as China Goes Gaga for Gaming / Stock-Markets / Sector Analysis

By: Doug_Horning

Doug Hornig, Editor, Casey’s Extraordinary Technology writes: Developing nations are playing technological leapfrog.

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIn the developed world, when we think of technology, the roots of much of what we do today were born decades, or even a century, ago. While the evolution has been fast paced, the progression from there through today is a straight line from the technologies that preceded them. A television program is still a television program. A phone call is still a phone call. The devices might look different and certainly do more, but the lineage is obvious.

Stock Market Sector Strength Indicates Returning Confidence / Stock-Markets / Sector Analysis

By: Donald_W_Dony

Analysts and economists often refer to the strength or weakness in certain key industrial groups as evidence of a recovering or declining economy. During the recovery phase of a typical business cycle, there is usually greater buying emphasis on industry sectors that reflect a more optimistic stance. This wave of confidence can shift short-term to a more defensive approach.

Consumer Debt Financed Demand Deleveraging Reality Check for Retailers / Companies / Sector Analysis

By: James_Quinn

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleHaving worked for a big box retailer for 14 years, I understand the dynamics of a high growth rollout of stores as a key to increasing market share and profits. Some of the best retail names in the US have practiced the identical strategy of concentrating many stores in each market to drive the small competitors out of business. This strategy worked wonders for Lowes, Wal-Mart, Target and Kohl's during the early part of this decade. The combination of solid same store sales and opening new stores is a fantastic combination during good times. The results actually make the CEOs of these companies think they are brilliant. Their store expansion models based on rosy assumptions are followed like they can't go wrong.

Retail Stocks XRT ETF No Signs of Peaking / Companies / Sector Analysis

By: Mike_Paulenoff

The SPDR Retail ETF (XRT) is one heck of a bullish chart, which includes names like Whole Foods (WFMI), Sears (SHLD), OfficeMax (OMX), HSN (HSNI), Netflix (NFLX), Dress Barn (DBRN), and Family Dollar Stores (FDO). Purely from a pattern perspective, the XRT shows no sign of peaking, and is poised to hurdle Wed.'s high at 42.64. If the price structure moves vertically higher into a new upleg, it COULD make a run at its upper channel resistance lines in the 44.50- 45.50 target zone, or 5% to 7% more upside.

As of March 2010, the four sectors with highest momentums are consumer discretionary, industrials, technology and financials but that last one is starting to lose some steam (1 to 4). Can we expect these market outperformers to keep being the winners of the next 12 months? What is history telling us?

This leading indicator of consumer confidence and thus economic health, had consistently outperformed many industry sectors throughout 2009 and also the broad-based S&P 500. Fundamental data generally looked unimpressive last year and many market watchers doubted the return of this important industry.
