Up! up…uuuup!

Written by M. Hussein on May 6, 2008 – 6:34 pm

No. I am not crazy, but my thoughts today finish with the conclusion that markets will probably continue going higher.

In the last post I wrote about Nokia, I referred the Doji Patterns:

But, in the other hand, Nokia also followed Motorola’s way touching new yearly lows at 28,28, but again doing the Doji Pattern (a pattern of recovering) as it done two days ago.
The THING right now that we need to watch is what Nokia will do, will their shares follow Motorola? Or, will they fight against the storm?
So they really fought against that storm, as Motorola followed Nokia’s positive evolution. anyway, Truth be told, the reason Motorola’s shares were high is mainly related to Nasdaq “strongness” we saw these last days. In my opinion, the markets will remain higher, as the indicators I regularly use to see how market tends to evolute are all positive.
But, make all your investments/trades with caution, because many well known Fundamental Investors, as the billionaire Warren Buffet are saying that the crisis tend to remain. The THING we need to know is that if they were saying it just to buy stocks with lower prices (as they have influence on the markets) or if they are saying their real perspective. Let me remind you that Warren Buffet has the best fundamental analysis teams on the world.
Another thing I want to focus in today’s post is another pattern that many stocks, as Motorola are doing right now, that is the MACD divergence. I would really recommend you to search on Google about that.
This is a positive divergence, because MACD is going higher and the stocks were doing more and more low lowers and low highs. The green lines are representing that divergence on Motorola’s chart.
motorola_shares Up! up...uuuup!
By the way, we had some patterns on Nokia showing sometimes that the stock could have reach the top, but as I said probably that was a top to last for few days because the market is having a strong bull basis.

Motorola Q1 Earnings, Nokia’s Patterns and Apple

Written by Meraj Chhaya on April 24, 2008 – 10:47 pm

[Written by our financial expert, MH]

Finally we had Motorola Results, that were worst than what I was thinking of, and with that Motorola will probably continue going to lower levels.

Let me resume the story and tell you what really happened and why Motorola stocks (NYSE:MOT) didn’t fall more than 3%. and why they can tomorrow fall more than that.

In the first three months of 2008 Motorola said its loss widened to $194 million, or 9 cents a share, from a year-earlier loss of $181 million, or 8 cents a share. Sales dropped 21% to $7.45 billion from $9.43 billion.
Excluding one-time costs, Motorola would have lost 5 cents a share. On that basis, analysts were expected the company to lose 7 cents a share on revenue of $7.84 billion.
In the current second quarter, Motorola estimated it would lose 2 cents to 4 cents a share from operations, compared with Wall Street’s consensus prediction that the company would break even.
Motorola shipped 27.4 million wireless handsets in the first quarter, down from 40.9 million in the prior quarter and from its all-time high of 65.7 million in the 2006 fourth quarter. Wall Street was expecting the company to ship as many as 31 million.
The company’s global share has fallen to below 10% from nearly 23% in late 2006.
The handset division posted an operating loss of $418 million, compared with an operating loss of $233 million a year ago. The division lost $1.2 billion in all of 2007.
Mobile sales fell 39% to $3.3 billion from the year-ago quarter. The mobile unit accounted for just 44% of total sales, compared with as much as two-thirds of Motorola’s revenue just a few years ago.
EVERY THING FELL. Worst it couldn’t be, and I woudn’t be long on MOT stocks. The analysts’ reaction was truly bad, and Zacks Rank, the guys I follow have a Sell Rate to Motorola.
Today, Motorola shares didn’t fall much more mainly because all technological stocks were touching new relative highs, monthly or yearly highs as Apple, which made to day a very beautiful candle (on technical analysis).
But, in the other hand, Nokia also followed Motorola’s way touching new yearly lows at 28,28, but again doing the Doji Pattern (a pattern of recovering) as it done two days ago.
The THING right now that we need to watch is what Nokia will do, will their shares follow Motorola? Or, will they fight against the storm?

Nokia Shares Moving with Earnings Report

Written by Meraj Chhaya on April 22, 2008 – 10:34 pm

Some days ago Meraj wrote about the earnings report from Nokia, which weren’t as bad as I thought, but they were horrible from the analysts’ view (as I said, what matters is the analysis from “those guys”, and not just the report).

In the same day, I had a talk with Meraj, with Google Talk (they didn’t paid me to say their name :D), and we were discussing those results and the consequent Gap Down on that day of more than 15%. I immediately told him that volatility was dominating the market, and a single report, news or even a word said by the administration of a company could make the stock move impressively.

If a report like this came last year, 2007 or 2006, the market reaction wouldn’t be too drastic and the shares would continue their upper trend. But, today is today, and yesterday was yesterday and our trading system needs to adapt to every market conditions.

As I was saying, I told Meraj, that probably Nokia would close that big Gap but just after testing the minimums again. The shares done it, touching two more times on those lows. If you ask me: Is it sufficient? Should I buy strongly the shares? Should I believe on that tendency inverting figure (yes, the last candle shows that Nokia Shares can return to the upside)?

The answer is NO, or NOT AT ALL. If you are an aggressive investor, the best thing you can do is buy at the lowest price and put a “Stop-Loss” below 28,40, because below of that zone, the market is unpredictable, as 28,40 is a big and strong support. Also the volume is diminishing as the shares continue going down, which is good, meaning that the bears pressure is lower and the possibilities of going lower are few, as many traders don’t maintain their short positions, mainly because of the Gap close possibility.

This isn’t a trading advice, or something like that. It’s up to you to decide if you buy or sell any stock mentioned.

Let’s see what Motorola earnings will show to us at 24th April!

Videocon to buy Motorola’s Phone Business?

Written by sampdoria on April 3, 2008 – 8:06 pm

Well, we have news everywhere about India’s companies trying to buy this and that. The lastest one was Tata Motors acquiring Ford, Jaguar and Land Rover.

But this one, is different. You may ask why…but it is simple to answer: Motorola was separating the mobile phones’ business from the big company making a Spin-off. But as I have said to you, a spin-off is always seen with good eyes from the stock holders, but when comes the reports from the best analysts we can have a better dimension of what could be happening and if it would be good or not. As we saw from my last post, this Spin-Off could be a complete disaster.

But today, a company that I have never heard before, named Videocon, is intended to buy Motorola’s phone business. Now, this is better than a spin-off, this is better than anything (at least for the stock holders), because it makes the market move, and UP (for the two companies)

But, when Motorola said that they weren’t interested in "this", the vitality of this session isn’t being too good to Motorola. But in the other hand Videocon was bumping on the last Indian session.

You can see a nice report of Videocon right here, and quotes from Motorola here.

Here is the graph from today, just to show that the market isn’t too interested in these things, at this time. Anyway, we might not have yet reached the climax (just maybe……)
