Past Whisper Reports |
 |
 |
| Some Bullish Signs, but still more Bearish Indicators |
| Still Buying Ahead |
|
| Earnings Whispers' primary trading strategy is to trade ahead of an earnings announcement or after the news and to do so in the direction of the overall market or the stock's sector. We establish our weekly game plan with our Whisper Report using a combination of top-down and bottom-up analysis. Below is our list of past Whisper Reports. |
 | Downside Move for a Buying Opportunity
Monday, March 14, 2011
The S&P 500 broke a tight consolidation range for a
downside move that should be a buying opportunity.
Featuring: FDX, NKE, BWS

|  | Another Selloff Preferred
Monday, March 07, 2011
Another selloff would be preferred, but estimates should
begin moving higher and that supports our view that a
new 52-week high will be set for the S&P 500 over the
next six weeks.
Featuring: ZUMZ, HIBB, NSM

|  | No Oil Shock Yet
Monday, February 28, 2011
Still seasonal upward pressure on oil and still room to
move higher before it is likely to hurt the economy, thus
new highs are still expected by next earnings season.
Featuring: JOYG, FL, UNFI

|  | Off-season Pullback
Tuesday, February 22, 2011
A pullback should be a buying opportunity - ideally with a
beginning of the month bounce next week and another
selloff that holds above 1,280 for the S&P 500.
Featuring: LOW, DECK, PCLN

|  | More of the Same
Monday, February 14, 2011
Just more of the same, so no reason to change our
strategy yet.
Featuring: CPO, ITRI, DF

|  | Crack in the Story
Monday, February 07, 2011
The path of least resistance remains to the upside, but
the change is that we are now seeing a key fundamental
data point roll over.
Featuring: RL, DIOD, WMGI

|  | Trading a Bounce
Monday, January 31, 2011
Trading for a bounce to start the week, but becoming more cautious in the second-half on the potential misses of lofty expectations.
Featuring: UPS, ERTS, CSTR

|  | A Currency Buy Signal
Monday, January 24, 2011
The currency market is either telling us a major trend
could be changing or it is time to buy stocks after the
short sell off.
Featuring: MSFT, AMZN, PX, AKS
View: Summary, Full Report
|  | A Reasonable Pullback
Tuesday, January 18, 2011
Our target has been hit and sentiment continues to push to extremes. A pullback to 1,200 for the S&P 500 by the end of earnings season is reasonable.
Featuring: AAPL, GOOG, EBAY, AKS
View: Summary, Full Report
|  | A Change is Coming
Monday, January 10, 2011
Targeting 1,290 for the S&P 500 before a trading strategy change against lopsided sentiment and potential margin pressure.
Featuring: INTC, JPM, SVU, AKS
View: Summary, Full Report
|  | Near An End
Monday, January 03, 2011
Still fundamental improvements and technical upside, but
the overbought condition and lopsided sentiment indicate
the long trade is near an end.
Featuring: MOS, AA, FDO, AKS

|  | GDP Upside and Positive
Monday, December 20, 2010
Upside to GDP this week and early tracking for the fourth
quarter indicate that January earnings season should be
positive. Throw in some seasonality and we get a bullish
view going into earnings season.
Featuring: KMX, , NKE, AKS

| | Still Upside Room
Monday, December 13, 2010
Still some technical upside to the recent move.
Featuring: FDX, DFS, BBY, AKS

|  | Positive but Vulnerable
Monday, December 06, 2010
The data shows the economic vulnerability, but the trends
are still positive.
Featuring: COST, LULU, NSM, AKS
View: Summary, Full Report
|  | Positive Retail Checks
Monday, November 29, 2010
Positive retail checks over the weekend support the
fundamental view of modestly improving trends, but
stocks are still in a range and the Euro has broken down.
Featuring: ARO, JAS, GIL, AKS

|  | Another Selloff, then Buying Opportunity
Monday, November 22, 2010
This is a seasonally strong period that is coming with
improving leading indicators and off an oversold bounce
in the market... but another good selloff is preferred.
Featuring: HPQ, GES, DE, AKS

|  | Needed Pullback
Monday, November 15, 2010
We've had the pullback we were looking for last week and
are now trading long ahead of earnings, but sentiment is
a red flag - and of course the U.S. Dollar remains the
key.
Featuring: GPS, PERY, PWRD, AKS
View: Summary, Full Report
|  | Still Just a Dollar Story
Monday, November 08, 2010
Data is coming in better, but we still see this as more of a
U.S. Dollar story than anything else.
Featuring: CSCO, TYC, DIS, M
View: Summary, Full Report
|  | Violent U.S. Dollar Move Coming
Monday, November 01, 2010
It is all about the U.S. Dollar this week and it is setting up
for a violent move. The extreme sentiment is setting up
for a strong U.S. Dollar move, which would be bearish for
stocks.
Featuring: CBS, NUS, SWIR, M

|  | Mixed Data Points
Monday, October 25, 2010
For every data point that confirms one view, there is an equal data point on the other side. Still, the difference between the big money and the small money is getting stretched.
Featuring: HOT, MSFT, AFL, M

| | A Reasonable Pullback
Monday, October 18, 2010
We see more downside risk despite positive earnings news in the coming weeks, but for now the trade is just for a reasonable pullback for stocks.
Featuring: AAPL, BA, AXP, M
View: Summary, Full Report
|  | Too Optimistic
Monday, October 11, 2010
Companies have tracked above lowered expectations during the quarter, but investor optimism is likely too high.
Featuring: MAT, HST, INTC, SCHW

|  | A Tightened Range
Monday, October 04, 2010
Little has changed in September despite the market's move with leading fundamental indicators still showing risks.
Featuring: PEP, MAR, DMND, SCHW
View: Summary, Full Report
| | Nominal Gain/Real Decline
Monday, September 27, 2010
Despite what it looked like on the surface, the S&P 500 dropped significantly in real terms as the U.S. Dollar's fall exceeded equities' gains. Despite the fundamentals, this kind of move tends to be the start of a trend. Either way, the setup has gotten easy for the market.
Featuring: MOS, JBL, FDO, SCHW
View: Summary, Full Report
|  | A Break Out Pattern, but also a Crash Signal
Monday, September 20, 2010
We've gotten another crash indicator, but for now, a amove above 1,129 to 1,131 for the S&P 500 and a move below 80 for the U.S. Dollar index would suggest more upside in stock prices and a change in our trading strategy around earnings.
