AAPL Intraday Updates (Archive)

I can’t say I take much comfort in this run up. The car makers are still out there, and sales are still in the tank. North America auto production for January dropped 62% year over year, so future cash inflows from dealers buying inventory will further exacerbate the Big 2.5’s lack of working capital.
The stimulus plan does not have enough fizz in it to avoid more cash burn without a loan package that I think is indigestible on the heels of migraine-inducing stimulus package.
This might not fully register with Mr. Market until later next week, just before the car makers reconvene the following week.

Senators Reach Deal on $780 Billion Stimulus Package
After a dismal report on unemployment, Democrats succeeded in
winning the support of enough Republicans to move the package
toward a final Senate vote.Read More:

Memories are long of President Pelosi’s trashing of Republicans before the first bailout vote. She can’t lead, and Obama (and the rest of us) will suffer for it.

I think Mercel brings up a very very good point of caution. Whatever rally we may continue with next week, would time perfectly for a pullback on the Automakers coming back to Washington. But, if they should happen to have their ducks in a rown just enough to keep Mr. Market from throwing the rally away, then we may have nothing more than a healthy pullback before a run at S&P 1000. Personally, I don’t really think or dare to expect anything beyond that level. But beggers can’t be choosers so, let’s rock! S&P 1000 could easily mean appl at $120.
Looking at 3 and 6 month daily charts, first we must get through and close above 870, then 930. After that those points will become support we must keep in any pullback. Sorry if I’m just stating the obvious, you know the drill.
Here is the very bullish opening sequence from Fast Money on Friday. Definately worth your time to watch as it contains some good rational and bullish cases for why this rally is a real one. It includes plenty of text in addition to the video in case you have trouble viewing these things. (FYI, just disable pop-up blocker if you do have trouble). Enjoy! http://www.cnbc.com/id/29054093

We’ll see what news may affect the market over the next 12 hours.Unfortunately the stock index futures are down -58 on Dow and -7.2 on S&P at this time. We’ll see if they recover by morning.
EDIT: Dow now down a hundred. This does not bode well!

A headline running on Bloomberg TV right now, “Geithner delays bank rescue speech to keep focus on stimulus.” This may explain the bad shape of Futures tonight.

That’s a pair shape.
Could care less about the stimulus. The more they spend, the higher inflation.
Banks guys. Floor the banks and we can do something. Fail to floor the banks and I’ll start talking to contractors about a moat and high walls on an island with good fishing and hunting.

Black Swan Counter: 9 (Banks need money, Jobs needs a break, Geithner has no plan, Cuomo’s grandstanding, .Gov needs a hobby, GS works for money, flash crash, is that bubbling crude?).
For those who look, a flash allows one to see farther.

An interesting update on the hand and glove fit of banks and carmakers:
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=atjQ8fjgT.kY&refer=homeOf course Eric is right: the banks are in intensive care and any stimulus package will mean nothing if the credit markets fail.

I am amazed AAPL is holding up (even positive this PM) so well after such a run up last week.
And I am happy to see that my BAC buy on Friday (so far) worked out fine even the ‘Bad Bank’ package is delayed.

One positive from the delaying of the bank announcement is that it gives us one more day to rally before “Sell the News” kicks in.

Added: okay i confess…I ‘m waiting for a pullback!
