Market update

The bullish sentiment is extreme at the moment. Take a look at S&P 500, which is above 2,000, trading at 2,007,71. Up +0,50%. Nasdaq is up +0,45%, trading at 4,582,90. DJIA is up +0,40%, trading at 17,137,36.

Europe is in a red territory today. Dax is down -0,17%, trading at 9,730,38. CAC 40 is down -0,38%, trading at 4,469,61. FTSE 100 is down -0,97%, trading at 6,788,70, and Stoxx 50 is down -0,46%, trading at 3,260,30.

Many are bullish on gold, but keep in mind that gold is still in a bearish territory, despite the higher lows in the chart since the end of last year. I watch gold every day, and I`m looking for 1,250 – 1,270 area. In the same time, I`m looking for 1,000. It can drop down below 1,000 too.

Crude oil (brent) is trading at 100,25, down -0,57%. Silver is down below 20,00, trading at 19,23, but this precious metal is trading up today +0,39%. Another precious metal that is following silver is the copper, which is up 0,88%, trading at 319,75.

It`s interesting to watch the dollar right now. The U.S dollar index which hit another 13-month high overnight are making big moves. I follow the U.S dollar daily, because the dollar can threat the gold. Maybe the dollar is the safe heaven, and not the gold? That`s why it is important to follow those two combined.

One of the main reasons why the dollar is moving so fast now, is all the action in the EU. What happens in EU will affect the pair EUR/USD. I think that Mario Draghi will be very important for the daytraders in the future.

(Nasdaq: Apris 4, 2014)

Many investors have talked about the valuations in the tech stocks for a while now, and many predicted a tech bubble was on the way. I wrote about it for some weeks ago, and I said Twitter was the most expensive stock in this universe.

52 Week high for Twitter is 74,73, and the stock traded down -2,07% on friday. Twitter is down about 50% from the top very soon. Marketers are embracing Facebook over Twitter, and they will rather go for Youtube and LinkedIn before Twitter.

Sometimes investors need to take some profit and friday was a great day for that. It seems like the U.S markets will open down today. I`m excited about the trading sessions, not only today, but for the rest of this week. Take a look at the dollar. It`s up!

Tech and biotech is so far the most popular sectors in 2014, but both of them slide now. Many tech stocks are trading down in Europe too. This is a great time for daytraders. I will follow the charts this week before I start my vacation on friday. Easter bunny is waiting.

Earnings reports

Nikkei rose 3,13% today. What a jump! This jump is based on good news for Bank of Japan (BOJ). The BOJ kept monetary policy steady and maintained its upbeat assessment on the economy. It also decided to extend three special loan facilities.

It is mixed in Europe and it seems like the U.S markets will open up today. Gold is trading down -0,34% at $1314,50. Silver is down -0,03%, trading at $21,41. Copper is up +0,32%, trading at 327,50.

Earnings reports to follow today: Coca cola (KO) is reporting for the quarter ending December 31, 2013. Consensus earnings per share is $0,46. This is a 2,22% increase compared to the earnings for the same quarter last year.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd (NCLH) is reporting for the quarter ending December 31, 2013. The companies consensus earnings per share forecast is $0,17. This is a 1600% increase compared to the same period last year. Price to earnings for NCLH is 26,90, while the industry ratio is 22,10, which means NCLH have a higher earnings growth than their competitors.

I look forward to the earnings report from Tesla (TSLA) tomorrow. The report will be for the fiscal Quarter ending December 2013. Consensus Eearnings per share forecast for the quarter is $0,04. EPS for the same periode last year was $-0,78. A great jump!

Gold is up

CEO Jamie Sokalsky in Barrick Gold (ABX) expects the reserves and productions will fall after the biggest annual price decline in gold since 1981. They will recalculate its reserves at a gold price of $1,100 an ounce and that is down from $1,500 an ounce a year ago. That is resulting in a decrease in its reserve base.

Gold production will be lower this year because of assets sales, while they are focusing on more profitable mines. They have closed its Pierina mine in Peru and in addition they have reduced the output from the Cortez gold mine in the U.S.A. They also expect the Aldivar copper mine in Chile to produce less in 2014.

Sokalsky expects a write down on its Pascua-Lama project and they are looking for other asset-value reductions. Barrick Gold is the biggest whale among the gold stocks, but along with the declining gold price we have seen, Barrick`s Market Cap has plummeted 50%.

Barrick`s management has been effective and not wasted their time during the declining gold prices. They have used the time wisely, sold assets, reduced the debt, conserved cash, implemented accounting impairments, and still cutting costs. They are moving in the right direction with a lower cost structure.

This story is not unique, as it is the same story for Newmont (NEM), and Goldcorp (GG). As the gold prices has plummeted we have been witnessed to a massive write-down. Barrick Gold is down -43,3% (1 YR), but are up 9,5% so far in 2014. Is the bottom behind us?

Newmont is down -43,8% (1 YR), but are up 9,3% in 2014. Goldcorp is down only -35,5% (1 YR), up 11% this year. The Junior Gold miners ETF (GDXJ) is up 19,5% this year (-53,8% 1 YR), while Market Vectors Gold Miners (GDX) is up 12,3% (-46,8% 1 YR).

Endeavour Silver Corp (EXK) has skyrocket this year, trading at $24,50. Up 24% in 2014. Silver Standard Resources Inc (SSRI) is up 20,1% so far this year. Silvercrest Miners (SVLC) is up 19%, Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd (SZSMF) is down 1,1%, while Taho Resources Inc (TAHO) is up 6,2% in 2014. Silver seems to be a better investment so far.

No major reports today.
