True North Market Note #004 20 Dec 05

Well, we finally got the relatively clean break in a number of focus stocks. 

Brief highlights today:
 
EBAY -BE D, although volume did not accelerate and we're quite close to reasonable support.

QCOM 44.28 closed under 50MA but no real volume.

EFA 60.32 closed on a -BE D on modest volume. Worth watching for sure if this sell-off develops.

DHI 36.93 closed on 10m shares and broke a recent window. We took a speculative short intraday on DHI, as housing and sentiment progressively soured.

SMH 37.57 points to a bounce either at the gap or the whole number.

Stay tuned for more thoughts on the market as we approach the make or break, year-end period.

Recall last year they ran them up then dumped them in very quick time on January 2nd. Caveat Emptor.

ETF & Stock highlighted events 191205_1420


BRCM 49.02 / -BE D / an early flag but note several similar patterns in the recent uptrend

PAYX 40.97 / economically very sensitive and surprisingly weak here: is it trying to tell us something?

TXN 33.07 / forget all the other indicators: that's as clear a barrier at 34 as you're likely to see

QCOM 44.95 / 26m share day confirms the reversal / 50MA 44.35 an obvious level

EBAY 45.94 / prints wide range day / good performance versus the weaker NDX tape

AAPL 71.11 / factors to watch are the 20MA, the action near the 02 & 14 Dec hammers & the 01 Dec WRB support zone

IJR 58.81 / holds at foot of 01 Dec WRB (wide range bar) / rally-sceptics will observe the rising downside volume

BBH 200.25 / closed weak on rising volume / 50MA 198.69 key level

XLE 51.07 / year-end profit booking and mixed technicals weighing on the group / 50MA trend has barely moved and is still mildly negative

SMH 38.04 / ignore the -BE D at your peril...'it's triple witching related and volume was low' I hear them say...
