Market Update 8-3-12

Ok, I woke up late this morning but thankfully I hit my target price on Walmart this morning.  The market looks poised to rally today and I see a bunch of great setups.  Microsoft (MSFT), GE and DNKN all look good.  The three stocks that have been giving me problems these couple weeks all have a bullish candlestick and are moving up on strength.  MSFT and DNKN are oversold in the stochastics, they also had a stochastic crossover, and are at the bottom of an upward channel.  All of these are red hot signs of a nice upward move.


Alright, the jobs report was better than expected.  It’s the best month we’ve seen since February.  Around 50,000 more jobs were added than expected and the market responded favorably to it.  You can never be sure what the market will do even when the news is positive because many traders are waiting for QE3 (Quantitative Easing 3 from Ben Bernanke and the Fed) and the Fed won’t intervene unless they have too.  That’s the reason why the market has been going up sometimes off of bad news and down on good news.  It seems contradictory but ….that’s the market.  Thankfully this time around the market went up off of good news.
