Luc abx music for your ears --
From H Meisler TSC column yesterday:
Finally, I have rarely in my career recommended gold stocks. In fact, I can only remember doing it once before. However, I chart Barrick Gold (ABX:NYSE) by hand each day, and that chart has seen such improvement that it prompted me to look at the weekly chart. Go look at that weekly chart: It's got a giant head-and-shoulders bottom (left shoulder at 15 in early 1998, head at 13 in late September, right shoulder at 16 just recently, a flat line across the tops at 24 marks the neckline). I don't think this is a move into gold stocks as a group since I couldn't find another gold chart that looked like this, but this one was so outstanding that I felt compelled to point it out. It's early in its move and a breakout does not feel imminent, but a move through the neckline would measure to the upper 30s.
On the negative side, AT&T's (T:NYSE) action is still bothersome. Be careful if it breaks 50. McDonald's (MCD:NYSE) is oversold, so sell it on a rally. Same for Merck (MRK:NYSE) -- sell it on a rally back to 74 to 76.
Anheuser-Busch (BUD:NYSE) has had such a great run, but it's now stalled out. Take profits on it. Dayton Hudson (DH:NYSE) should bounce off of 64. Sell it into such a rally. Home Depot (HD:NYSE) grabbed a lot of attention on its downgrade last week. It now needs some more time before it rolls over again.
look at how BUD has been hit today, maybe she's moving markets |
