November 28, 2007 Stock Market Recap

Not much to say about today besides "wow". The indices gapped open above their downtrends and just kept surging. CNBC says today was the biggest rally in 4 1/2 years. So once again the PPT comes to the market's rescue -- this time with just the threat of a rate cut. Here are the charts:




A good deal of improvement today... if you're a bull. It's still a very mixed picture though

Components of the NASDAQ Internet Index (QNET)

| 1 Comment

For some reason the Nasdaq has made it really difficult to find out what companies compose their new Internet Index. (hat tip to Read/Write Web)

The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced it has launched the NASDAQ Internet Index (Nasdaq:QNET). The Index is a new benchmark designed to track the performance of companies engaged in a broad range of internet-related services including internet access providers, internet search engines, web hosting, website design, and internet retail commerce.

The NASDAQ Internet Index is comprised of securities of companies that are at the forefront of internet technology. They are leading innovators in providing faster internet access, creating more intuitive e-commerce experiences, and developing the second generation Web.

"The NASDAQ Internet Index contains some of the most exciting internet companies traded on NASDAQ and other U.S. exchanges," said NASDAQ Senior Vice President Steven Bloom. "Given the strength of NASDAQ's brand association with innovation and its market share of internet company listings, it is logical for NASDAQ to extend investment opportunities through a new benchmark for this dynamic, evolving sector."

I tracked down the spreadsheet which contains the components (from their Nasdaq Indexes page). The list is also below:

November 27, 2007 Stock Market Recap

A nice snapback rally today but it wasn't enough to wipe out Monday's losses. The S&P remains trapped between a downtrend sloping trendline and its lower Bollinger Band. Its support around 1400 will also be important to watch.


The Nasdaq is bumping up against a confluence of resistance lines. A close above 2600 would be big for the bulls.

A nice snapback rally today but it wasn't enough to wipe out Monday's losses. The S&P remains trapped between a downtrend sloping trendline and its lower Bollinger Band. Its support around 1400 will also be important to watch.


The Nasdaq is bumping up against a confluence of resistance lines. A close above 2600 would be big for the bulls.

For some reason the Nasdaq has made it really difficult to find out what companies compose their new Internet Index. (hat tip to Read/Write Web)

The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced it has launched the NASDAQ Internet Index (Nasdaq:QNET). The Index is a new benchmark designed to track the performance of companies engaged in a broad range of internet-related services including internet access providers, internet search engines, web hosting, website design, and internet retail commerce.

The NASDAQ Internet Index is comprised of securities of companies that are at the forefront of internet technology. They are leading innovators in providing faster internet access, creating more intuitive e-commerce experiences, and developing the second generation Web.

Not much to say about today besides "wow". The indices gapped open above their downtrends and just kept surging. CNBC says today was the biggest rally in 4 1/2 years. So once again the PPT comes to the market's rescue -- this time with just the threat of a rate cut. Here are the charts:

Components of the NASDAQ Internet Index (QNET)

| 1 Comment

For some reason the Nasdaq has made it really difficult to find out what companies compose their new Internet Index. (hat tip to Read/Write Web)

The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced it has launched the NASDAQ Internet Index (Nasdaq:QNET). The Index is a new benchmark designed to track the performance of companies engaged in a broad range of internet-related services including internet access providers, internet search engines, web hosting, website design, and internet retail commerce.

The NASDAQ Internet Index is comprised of securities of companies that are at the forefront of internet technology. They are leading innovators in providing faster internet access, creating more intuitive e-commerce experiences, and developing the second generation Web.

"The NASDAQ Internet Index contains some of the most exciting internet companies traded on NASDAQ and other U.S. exchanges," said NASDAQ Senior Vice President Steven Bloom. "Given the strength of NASDAQ's brand association with innovation and its market share of internet company listings, it is logical for NASDAQ to extend investment opportunities through a new benchmark for this dynamic, evolving sector."

I tracked down the spreadsheet which contains the components (from their Nasdaq Indexes page). The list is also below:

A nice snapback rally today but it wasn't enough to wipe out Monday's losses. The S&P remains trapped between a downtrend sloping trendline and its lower Bollinger Band. Its support around 1400 will also be important to watch.


The Nasdaq is bumping up against a confluence of resistance lines. A close above 2600 would be big for the bulls.
