PortfolioCrafter - Market Commentary 10/24/05

Monday, October 24th, 2005

PortfolioCrafterStocks surged as investors welcomed news that White House adviser Ben Bernanke has been tapped to succeed Alan Greenspan as chairman of the Federal Reserve. The administration confirmed Bernanke’s nomination at around 1 p.m. ET. Bernanke — who was a Fed governor until June — was widely considered the front runner for the job and is someone seen as carrying on Greenspan’s inflation-fighting policies.

Stocks closed sharply with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 posting their biggest one-day gains in six months. Stocks bounced back after last week’s declines on falling oil prices and upbeat quarterly earnings. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 169.78 or nearly 1.7% to 10,385.00, and saw the biggest one-day point and percentage gain since late April. The broader S&P 500 finished up 19.79 or nearly 1.7% to 1,199.38, and the Nasdaq composite ended up 33.62 or 1.6% to 2,115.83.

Market breadth was positive. On the New York Stock Exchange, winners topped losers by 25 to 7 on volume of 1.64 billion shares. On the Nasdaq, advancers beat decliners 21 to 8 as 1.58 billion shares changed hands. Stock gains were broad-based, with 28 out of 30 Dow issues gaining ground.

Amongst other indices, the Amex Securities Broker/Dealer Index gained 3% up 5.29 to 179.81, the Amex Biotech Index closed up 18.07 or nearly 3% to 631.59, the Dow Jones Home Construction Index gained 2.7% up 22.95 to $878.76, the Amex Oil Index gained 3% to up 28.09 to 952.25,and the Amex Pharmaceutical Index weakened 1.25% to 306.80.

Prominent amongst gainers were American Express up $2.39 or nearly 5% to $49.54, Merck gained up $0.82 or almost 3% to $27.00, Aloca closed up $0.59 to $23.94, Caterpillar finished up $1.39 to $50.31, Do Pont closed up $0.98 to $39.62, Home Depot was up $1.01 to $40.66, and General Motors ended up $1.21 to $29.47. Exxon Mobil gained 2.7 percent and was one of many oil stocks bouncing today.

On a take over proposal, Albertson gained $1.19 or 5% to $25.25, from Kroger which also closed up $0.27 to $20.07. The pharmacy unit of Albertson has drawn bids from three drug store chains.

Cendant was a loser and closed down $1.32 to $18.77, after the company said it will split itself up into four publicly traded companies by 2006 in an effort to lift the price of its stock. Stun-gun manufacturer Taser International also closed a bit off its highs after gaining as much as 24% intraday.

U.S. light crude oil for December delivery slipped 31 cents to settle at $60.32 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, erasing bigger losses during the session. The price dropped as Gulf Coast facilities managed to avoid the fallout from Hurricane Wilma.

PortfolioCrafter - Market Commentary 10/21/05

Friday, October 21st, 2005

Today, the Dow Jones industrial average closed 65.88 points or 0.6% at 10,215.22, the Standard & Poor 500 Index gained 1.79 points or 0.2% at 1,179.59almost 0.2 percent, and the Nasdaq composite gained 14.10 points or 0.7% to 2,082.21.

PortfolioCrafter - Market Commentary 10/20/05

Thursday, October 20th, 2005

PortfolioCrafterOn a mix of disappointing profit outlooks from eBay and Pfizer, worries about inflation and slower economic growth, stocks slumped. The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted its biggest one-day loss in nearly four months.

Today, the Dow Jones industrial average closed down 133.03 or 1.3% to 10,281.10, the Standard & Poor’s 500 ended down 17.96 or 1.5% to 1,177.80, and the Nasdaq composite finished down 23.13 or 1.1% to 2,068.11. This decline in the Dow is the biggest one-day drop since June 23 when the benchmark index fell more than 160 points.

The small-cap stocks were hit especially hard, and this sent the Russell 2000 crashing down 10.74 or 1.7% to 627.54, and the Amex Oil closed down 44.49 or 4.7% to 912.63. The Goldman Sachs Internet Index closed down by 2.1 percent and the Dow Jones Home Construction Index finished down $17.26 or 2% to $851.79.

Market breadth was negative. On the New York Stock Exchange, losers beat winner more than four to one on volume of 1.97 billion shares. On the Nasdaq, decliners topped advancers by more than two to one as nearly 1.84 billion shares changed hands.

Pfizer reported third-quarter earnings that fell 52% from a year earlier, and this sent the stock tumbling as much as 8.7%. The stock ended down $2.07 at $21.90. Fellow Dow component McDonald’s Corp also closed down $1.29 or 3.8% to $32.40. A decline in gross margins offset better-than-expected revenue growth. Amgen finished down $3.99 to $74.10, after the company reported revenue that was short of forecasts. Shares of Ford Motor Co. also fell 5 cents to close at $8.42.

Amongst the gainers on Dow was Home Depot Inc that closed up 31 cents at $39.57. Coca-Cola also closed up $0.30 or 0.7% to $42.10, on reported higher quarterly earnings that rose from a year earlier due to strong soft-drink sales in China and other overseas markets. SBC Communications Inc. rose 13 cents to $22.54, on reported third-quarter profit that topped analyst estimates.

In the tech sector, eBay closed down $2.94 to $39.07, despite reporting improved earnings and revenue. Shares of Nokia Corp. tumbled as much as 7.3% after posting forecast-beating quarterly earnings. The stock closed down 6.7% at $15.90.

U.S. light crude Oil for November delivery fell $1.38 or 2.2% to settle at $61.03 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier during the day, the cost dipped below $60, for the first time since July.

PortfolioCrafter - Market Commentary 10/19/05

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005

PortfolioCrafterToday stocks staged a big turnaround and rallied in the late afternoon as investors scooped up recently beaten-down shares and welcomed falling oil prices. The S&P 500 Index posted its biggest one-day gain in six months, as investors cheered a raft of positive earnings reports, and an upbeat Federal Reserve survey on the economy.

The Dow Jones industrial average notched its first triple-digit increase in six weeks, gaining 128.87 points, or 1.25% to 10,414.13, the Standard & Poor’s 500 climbed up 17.62 or 1.5% to 1,195.76, and the Nasdaq Composite Index put in its best one-day performance in more than three months, rising 35.24 points, or 1.7% to 2,091.24.

Market breadth was positive. On the New York Stock Exchange, winners beat losers by more than five to three on volume of 2.06 billion shares. On the Nasdaq, advancers topped decliners by close to two to one on volume of 1.92 billion shares. The advance was broad based, with 24 out of 30 Dow issues gaining on the session. The Dow Jones Home Construction Index remained unchanged at $869.05, The Amex Oil Index climbed up 15.95 or 1.7% to 957.12, and the Goldman Sachs Internet Index gained 2.5 percent.

Amongst other good news, the Commerce Department estimated that construction of new homes in the U.S. reaccelerated in September, climbing 3.4% to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 2.108 million. This is better than the expected pace of 1.97 million.

Gainers on the Dow included McDonald’s that closed up $1.22 or 3.8% to $33.69, on a combination of optimism about its upcoming earnings and news that the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would prevent lawsuits that would target the food industry for causing obesity. United Technologies closed up $1.93 or 3.9% to $51.88, JP Morgan Chase gained 2.8% or $0.96 to $34.73, Home Depot closed up $1.10 to $39.26, Wal-Mart Stores finished up $0.86 to $45.99, Johnson & Johnson ended up $1.35 to $64.32, and Microsoft gained $0.52 to $25.09.

In the morning, Intel slipped and dragged the entire market. However, it recovered most of its losses and closed down $0.03 to $23.69. This relieved the tech sector with Yahoo gaining $2.21 to $35.91, on higher-than-expected quarterly earnings. Motorola closed up $0.85 or 4.2% to $21.02, after reporting higher quarterly earnings. Altria shares ended at session highs, up $1.37 to $73.85 as the company’s Philip Morris USA tobacco business saw its retail share climb above 50%.

Amongst losers, Honeywell closed down $1.88 or 5.2% to $34.05, despite reporting earnings that topped forecasts. General Motors closed down $0.74 to $28.38, after the rally on Monday.

Shares of J.P. Morgan rose as much as 98 cents to $34.75. Similarly, Bank of America booked a 10% rise in third-quarter earnings on increases in its credit-card and mortgage-banking businesses. The stock closed out the session, up 87 cents at $42.44.

Crude futures fell, with the U.S. data showing a rise in crude and gasoline supplies and a decline in product demand. The November benchmark contract ended down 79 cents at $62.41 a barrel in New York trading.

PortfolioCrafter - Market Commentary 10/18/05

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

PortfolioCrafterOn Tuesday, the stocks slumped on worries about rising interest rates and inflation despite positive news about quarterly earnings. The sectors adversely affected included homebuilders, oil and a variety of other sectors.

Today, the Dow Jones industrial average closed down 62.84 or 0.6% to 10,285.26, the Standard & Poor’s 500 ended down 11.96 or 1% to 1,178.14, and the Nasdaq composite finished down 14.30 or 0.7% to 2,056.00. Other indices included the Russell 2000 that closed down 8.01 or 1.3% to 625.36, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index closed down 5.42 or 1,2% to 439.30, the Philadelphia Housing Index closed down $15.58 or 3.2% to $473.32, and the Amex Oil Index closed down 40.07 or over 4% to 941.17.

The market breadth was negative. On the New York Stock Exchange, losers beat winners by more than twelve to five on volume of 1.62 billion shares, while on the Nasdaq, decliners topped advancers by more than two to one on volume of 1.48 billion shares.

The Producer Price Index, a measure of inflation at the wholesale level, showed the biggest month-to-month jump in 15 years. The jump was largely related to skyrocketing energy costs, and surpassed the forecasts of Wall Street economists. This shows a 0.3% rise in September, versus an unchanged reading in August.

Amongst decliners, Exxon Mobil closed down $2.56 or 4.3% to $56.30. After gaining yesterday on good news, GM and Altira lost today to close down over 3% today. General Motors closed down $0.97 to $29.12. Caterpillar lost $1.07 to $53.96, and Honeywell ended down $0.44 to $35.93.

Gainers today included 3M that finished up $2.24 or 4% to $74.71, on reported higher quarterly earnings that beat estimates. IBM too closed up $0.89 or 1.1% to $83.48, on reported quarterly earnings that topped forecasts. Sales from continuing operations rose slightly as it sold more hardware and services. However, Johnson & Johnson finished down $0.03 to $62.97, despite reported higher quarterly earnings.

Amongst technology stocks, United Technologies closed down $1.16 or 2.9% to $49.95, despite reporting higher quarterly earnings and revenue that topped forecasts. Chip gear maker Novellus Systems closed down $3.06 or 13% to $21.83, on reported lower quarterly earnings that missed forecasts.

Intel Corp. climbed as much as 2.3% as investors anticipated strong quarterly results from the chipmaker after the market close. The stock ended up 26 cents at $23.72. After the close of markets, Intel reported third-quarter net income up 5% to $2 billion, or 32 cents a share, versus $1.9 billion, or 30 cents a share, in the year-earlier quarter. Revenue grew 18% to $9.96 billion. Shares of Merrill Lynch rose about 1.6% on reported earnings that topped analyst estimates on strength in its global markets business.

Goldman Sachs cut Texas Instruments to ‘Under Perform’ from ‘In-Line’, citing increased competition from Qualcomm Inc. in the third-generation broadband business as well as its belief that margins are cyclically peaking. Texas Instruments ended up 10 cents at $29.80 while shares of Qualcomm rose 26 cents to $42.45. Goldman also raised Entegris Inc. to ‘Outperform’ from ‘In-Line’, saying merger and business divestitures are likely to create improved secular earnings. The stock ended the session down 10 cents at $9.73.

U.S. light crude oil for November delivery fell $1.16 to settle at $63.20 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange Tuesday, on relief that Hurricane Wilma is not likely to hit rigs and refineries along the U.S. Gulf Coast.
