Eye on Apple / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
For you Apple (AAPL) devotees, and I consider myself among the faithful, my near-term work argues that the correction of the late-April upleg from 320.16 to 360.90 ended (finally) on Tuesday at 330.75.
Since that low, a new upleg has started that likely completed its initial upmove this morning at 342.40. If my work is accurate, then AAPL has entered a correction of the upmove from 330.75 to 342.40, and could press next into the 335-332.50 area in the hours ahead.

GM Versus Ford / Companies / US Auto's
By: Mike_Paulenoff
I am on the sidelines on Ford (F), preferring to be long the pattern that has been carved out by General Motors (GM) during the past three weeks. For F to get any upside traction, it must climb above its May declining rally tops line, now at 15.22.

By: Money_Morning
Jason Simpkins writes:
Netflix Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX) shares have surged 764% in just two-and-a-half years.
And yet there are still investors, analysts and businessmen who continue to doubt the company - choosing instead to believe that its meteoric rise is more flash than bang.

ISRG Setting Up For A Potential Move Higher / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: David_Grandey
We’ve spent a fair amount of time on Pullbacks Off High’s (POH) chart patterns and one look below at ISRG pretty much tells the story. Keep in mind this name is prone to 3-5 point mood swings on a daily basis. That works for you and against you.
For us a big part of our success around here has been that of the Pullback Off Highs (POH) longside trade set ups of leading stocks in clearly defined uptrends. It’s really the only pattern you’ll ever need to know in uptrending markets.

Is Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) Undervalued? / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) last year passed Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) to become the largest technology company by market capitalization. Overall, it's now second only to Exxon MobilCorp. (NYSE: XOM) in size.
But shockingly, even at $323 billion, Apple still looks cheap.

Bullish on Cisco / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Right now all of my work in Cisco (CSCO) argues very strongly that the April 19 low at 16.52 ended its bear market phase from its April 30 high at 27.74. If accurate, this means that the strength off of 16.52 either represents the start of a powerful counter-trend recovery rally (that projects to 18.20/50 next) or the start of a new bull phase that should propel CSCO well beyond 18.20/50.

By: Money_Morning
Larry D. Spears writes:
Investors have a weakness for low-priced stocks. The logic is pretty easy to see: If you buy shares at $1.00, and the stock takes off, you can pocket a bundle.
But if you're wrong, this line of reasoning goes, you only lose a buck.

Bank of America Unfinished on Downside / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Mike_Paulenoff
My near-term and 6-month pattern and momentum work on Bank of America (BAC) indicate that the price structure has some unfinished business on the downside prior to embarking on a sustainable rally period.
The very negative juxtaposition of the 21, 55, and 200 DMA's is creating significant downward price pressure, which, when coupled with the pattern that BAC has carved out off of its January recovery high at 15.31, projects lower prices into the 11.85/50 area next.

American Airlines Has Nowhere to Go but Down / Companies / Corporate Earnings
By: Money_Morning
Jack Barnes writes:
In February, I made my case against United Continental Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: UAL), - owner of both United Airlines and Continental Airlines - saying high fuel prices would be too much for the company to bear.
Well the same is true for AMR Corp. (NYSE: AMR), which is best known as the parent company of American Airlines - the fourth-largest airline in the world. The rising cost of fuel has put a squeeze on the company's margins, leaving it a hostage to higher oil prices.
So let's "Sell" AMR Corp. (**).

Cloud Computing Helps Boosts Intel and IBM / Companies / Corporate Earnings
By: Money_Morning
David Zeiler writes: Better-than-expected earnings this week by several major technology vendors suggest a rebound is underway in corporate IT spending - much of which was postponed by the recession - and a big surge in cloud computing investments.
Intel Corporation (Nasdaq: INTC) reported a 34% rise in first-quarter profit due to strong sales of chips for high-end servers used in data centers in addition to a surprising increase in PC chip sales. And International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE: IBM) reported its highest revenue growth in a decade as businesses bought more servers and equipment for data centers.

Eye on Apple Stock Price Support / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
We could make the case that today Apple (AAPL) broke down from a 4-month top formation when it sliced beneath 328.00-326.00 support (now resistance). As long as AAPL continues to consolidate below 326-328, the bears will remain in directional control.
