Stock Trends Chart Analysis, Eye on Best Buy and FedEx / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Mike_Paulenoff
There will be two significant earnings reports out this week. Best Buy Co. Inc. (BBY) will release their earnings before the market opens on Tuesday, and FedEx Corporation (FDX) will do so before the market opens on Wednesday.
Beginning with Best Buy, it's not a bad-looking chart. It peaked in April with the market and looks like the S&P 500 and overall stock market. Will earnings in Best Buy extend it to the upside? Will they have results that suggest that the economy has improved as a lot of the non-employment data have suggested recently? Do people have more disposable income to buy electronics, home office products, entertainment software, appliances, and related products?

BP Criminal Negligence and the US Culture of Crime and Punishment / Companies / Market Regulation
By: Andrew_Butter
The legal battle that will determine whether BP survives has only just begun. The result will hinge on whether someone or more than someone, employed directly or indirectly by BP in the drilling operation prior to the blow-out did something that was “negligent”, or “reckless”, or not done strictly in accordance with the approved safety procedures and the myriad of regulations mandated by this or that agency.

Anatomy of a Three-Bagger: The Brett Resources Stock Story / Companies / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jeff_Clark
Jeff Clark, Casey’s International Speculator writes: Shareholders were treated to a big win last month when Brett Resources (V.BBR) was bought out by Osisko Mining (T.OSK), giving investors a triple from our initial recommendation. We talked with Brett Chairman Ron Netolitzky to get the story behind how he and his team made Brett a success, along with his thoughts on the junior market and gold. We think so highly of Ron that we've inducted him into our Explorers' League program...

By: Mike_Paulenoff
Let's notice that the iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index (NYSE: FXI) peaked at 46.66 in November 2009 and was in the confines of a coil-like corrective pattern into the series of May lows near 36.60/25. Since early May, the FXI has carved out a 5-week basing pattern which could be the second coordinate of a larger Double Bottom formation established in February 2010.

By: Ron_Rowland
For the past two weeks, I’ve talked about exchange traded fund (ETF) bottom-fishing. First we looked at nine domestic sector ETFs, then last week we reviewed six opportunities in Europe.
The financial crisis is by no means over, of course. Many markets continue to worsen by the day. And I don’t see any quick solutions for the economy.

By: Mike_Paulenoff
British Petroleum (NYSE: BP) and Transocean (NYSE: RIG) have created a bit of a Lehman feel to the markets today. Ironically, oil prices are rocketing. BP has plunged to levels not seen since 1996! Whether or not BP is heading into bankruptcy is immaterial, because Mr. Market certainly thinks so.

By: DailyWealth
Tom Dyson writes: The Gulf of Mexico oil leak is a disaster for the environment, a disaster for the local economy, and may even prove to be a disaster for the stock market if the government decides to punish the offshore drilling industry.

Apple Correction Incomplete, SPX Looking Lower / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Mike_Paulenoff
While the chart pattern of Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) certainly looks much stronger than the overall market (SPX), all of the action since its peak in late-April has the right look of an intermediate-term corrective process that is incomplete. Both the pattern and the momentum configuration argue for AAPL to press towards a revisit of the 240-230 support area in the upcoming days/weeks prior to my expectation of another upleg within its otherwise still-intact bull market.

BP’s Continued Existence Seen Coming Under Threat as Gulf Oil Spill Continues / Companies / Oil Companies
By: OilPrice_Com
The continued failure of BP’s efforts to stop the Gulf oil spill and mounting political pressure are putting the very future of the British-based oil giant in question.BP shares plunged again on Tuesday, wiping $17 billion off the market capitalization of the company. Premiums on credit default swaps to insure the company’s debt soared 75% to $178,000 for $10 million as analysts began to question whether the company can survive the financial and reputational costs of the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe.

Two Energy Stocks For a Post Oil Spill World / Companies / Oil Companies
By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes:
With the failure of the BP PLC (NYSE ADR: BP) "top kill" strategy, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill takes on a more serious hue, both for the Gulf of Mexico environment and for BP itself. If it indeed proves impossible to cap the oil flow before August, public anger against BP and against deep-sea drilling in general may put BP out of business and set deep-sea drilling around the United States back for years.
