Hello. I'm interested in holding a position in GOOG or YHOO. Anybody got any advice on them?

 

GOOG is a good company. Their chart looks ok. They had a big drop in early November but seems to me it is economy related. They are going into the cell phone business, so I expect their stock to rise on that. Other than that they are the #1 search engine provider. They are agressive and are making good moves. So I think GOOG is my number one pick right now but I was wondering what you guys thought.

 

YHOO is not all that. But they are the #2 name in search and there is rumor that Microsoft will buy them out, which would be great for the stock. I think of them as the Pepsi and GOOG the Coke, and you know Pepsi was one time not all that either.

 

So these are the two companies I'm interested in. But I was wondering how they will behave if the economy continues to decline. Seems to me GOOG is best positioned to weather a bad economy.

Goog = hammer from Fri's chart. I could see a long here.

 

yhoo = good support at 25.00. Could go long here as well, but I think Goog chart is better and has more potential to pop for a quick profit.

 

Purely a technical analysis done in about 4 minutes. Take it for what it's worth. ;)

This GOOG is looking great. I like the way it approached the resistance around 675. They say it might hit 900. What do you guys think? Does GOOG have a long way to go, lik Microsoft did. If so, how high do you think it will go. It was very resiliant this week despite weak performance in the market.

If they say it will go to 900, It won't. At least not until they think it won't.

 

I would not be going long into this stock right now.

Why do you think so? Is it the resistance around 675? Any stock or instrument you would be long in right now?

 

I've been long GOOG since 629. I've moved my stop up to break even.

    • Date: 16th May 2024. Market News – Stagflationary Risk for Japan; Bonds & Stocks Higher. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Stocks and bonds gave a big sigh of relief after CPI and retail sales came in below expectations, supporting beliefs the FOMC will be able to cut rates by September. The markets had positioned for upside surprises. Wall Street surged with all three major indexes climbing to fresh record highs. Technical buying in Treasuries was also supportive after key rate levels were breached, sending yields to the lows since early April. Fed policy outlook: there is increasing optimism for a September rate cut, according to Fed funds futures, BUT most officials say they want several months of data to be confident in their actions. Plus, while price pressures are receding, rates are still well above the 2% target, keeping policy on hold. But the market is now showing about 22 bps in cuts by the end of Q3, with some 48 bps priced in for the end of 2024. Stagflationary Risk for Japan: GDP contracted much sharper than anticipated, for a 3rd quarter in a row. This is mainly due to consumer spending. The GDP deflator though came in higher than expected but still down from the previous quarter. The sharper than anticipated contraction in activity will complicate the outlook for the BoJ, and dent rate hike bets. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex slumped to 103.95, the first time below the 104 level since April 9. Yen benefitted significantly, with USDJPY currently at 154.35 as easing US inflation boosted bets on the Fed easing monetary policy this year, weakening USD, boosting the Yen. Gold benefited from a weaker Dollar and a rally in bonds and the precious metal is trading at $2389 per ounce. At the same time, the precarious geopolitical situation in the Middle East is underpinning haven demand. Oil prices rebounded slightly after the shinking of US stockpiles and the risk-on mood due to declined US Inflation. However USOil is still at the lowest level in 2 months, at 78.57. Market Trends:   The NASDAQ popped 1.4% to 16,742. The S&P500 advanced 1.17% to 5308, marking a new handle. And the Dow rose 0.88% to 39,908. Treasury yields tumbled sharply too on the increasingly dovish Fed outlook. Additionally, the break of key technical levels extended the gains to the lowest levels since early April before the shocking CPI data on April 10 boosted rates.
