Afternoon Recommendations
Goldman Sachs:
- Reiterated Outperform on S.
Afternoon/Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:
- The Transport Workers Union may try to take over its striking NY Local 100 and seek a settlement with the Metropolitan Transport Authority.
- Richard McCabe is retiring as chief market analyst at Merrill Lynch after 43 years with the NY-based company. Mary Ann Bartels, Merrill’s equity-trading strategist, will succeed him.
- Electronic Arts cut its sales and profit forecasts for this quarter and next.
- Gold fell to $495 an ounce, down $50 in just over a week, after US producer prices tumbled in November by the most since April 2003, reducing the appeal of the precious metal as a hedge against inflation.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished slightly lower today on losses in my Energy-related shorts. I did not trade in the afternoon, thus leaving the Portfolio 75% net long. The tone of the market was slightly negative today as the advance/decline line finished lower, sector performance was mixed and volume was average. Measures of investor anxiety were mixed into the close. Overall, today's action was mildly bearish. Investors likely need to see GM stabilize, natural gas fall further, some more positive holiday shopping data points and a quick end to the NY transit strike before a meaningful push higher in stocks can occur.
