Stock Updates: XOM, AEM, XLF, CHK, AAPL, JOYG, GS, GOOG

April 3, 2008 4:51 PM

Most stocks are set up to break either way consistent with the overall market.

CHK is long above $42.15, nothing has changed. I said over a week ago it would have an issue near $48, and it has, and also said it wa likely to trade between $43-48 for quite some time, and it has. It has been in about a $2.00 trading range for 8 trading days. My bias is still long above $42.15 and caution near $48. Same story, different day.

XOM: Exxon took out a couple of key levels, but it has has issues inthe $90 area, repeatedly and I am not a fan of it up here. There is no hard number to be leary of except the all time high however.

AEM: This stock will be sold the second the trend breaks or gold falls off. This stock is a little more difficult to predict as it is traded as a “proxy” for gold prices, which in turn trades inversely to the dollar. This is a short waiting to happen up top however….so better have a quick break pedal if you are long this…

XLF: Not a fan of the financials up here unless we clearly take out the $27.50 range…too many brokers/banks have key points up in that range, and is why i said sell XLF yesterday at $27.10. It dropped a quick buck off that early today.

AAPL: Apple technically is all clear once we took out $151.20. There is caution up here though as I mentioned. Plenty of people that have been long Apple for 4 months…and sweating bullets every day would love to escape even. i also think people are far too optimistic on the Iphone as a competing product against RIMM. It isn’t even in the same class. The IPhone competes against personal use phones - not business - and RIMM is coming out with a touchscreen soon…. But the chart still says long….but have a quick exit if trouble…

JOYG: JOYG is an avoid up near $70.00, IMO. It has to clear $72.00 to be long in that area.

GS: I mentioned to be very careful Goldman above $180 the other day….and it backed off $182 range yesterday and slid all the way to a low of $172.88 today. It has to clear $184.52…and even then I am not a huge fan as it will have more issues near $200.

GOOG: Goog was an easy short today. it had to clear $475.74 to be long. Going forward, if it clears $432.01 there will be additional pressure put on. I said the other day I am simply not a fan of GOOG and expected it to reverse. Bingo.
