Good morning Charles. Thanks.
Morning Mike! News- Bernanke's Words Could Make or Break Market Rally
*Note: I don't have the link to a previous article, but historically it's crucial to note that there's usually QE later in the year (around the holidays). I suppose it's just a matter of "when" not really "if" at this point.

Whether it’s disappointment or a hint that a further monetary boost to the economy is on its way, the speech on Friday from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is likely to trigger a strong swing in either direction in U.S. stock, currency and bond markets, which are sitting on critical technical levels, one analyst says.
Bernanke delivers a widely-anticipated speech on Friday at the Fed’s annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and for weeks now markets have been pondering whether or not the central bank chief will use the address to pave the way for another round of monetary stimulus via quantitative easing or asset purchases.
Daryl Guppy, CEO at Guppy Traders, says because U.S. equity markets are hovering around key chart levels, investors can expect a big move up or down in response to Bernanke’s speech.
“Technically, on the S&P, Dow and Nasdaq we are sitting on resistance levels and what that means is if the news is good we will have an exceptionally strong break out above the resistance levels,” Guppy told CNBC Asia’s Squawk Box on Thursday.
“Equally if there is a bad news we will get a powerful retracement, so we are looking at high volatility going into Bernanke,” he added.
The Dow Jones industrial average [.DJI 13107.48 4.49 (+0.03%) ] closed U.S. trade on Thursday at 13,107.48, the S&P 500 index [.SPX 1410.49 --- UNCH ] ended at 1,410.49 and the Nasdaq [.NDX 2784.00 --- UNCH ] finished at 3,081.19. All three major U.S. stock indices, which closed marginally higher, are now hovering at key resistance levels, Guppy said.
He added that there was technical support in the 12,100 -12,200 range on the Dow Jones index, which meant any selling here may be limited compared with other stock indices. Guppy said any good news from Bernanke could push the S&P 500 index up to 1,500 – a gain of more than 6 percent from current levels.
U.S equity markets have edged higher in the last few months, helped by expectations for more monetary stimulus from the Fed. However, signs of an improvement in the jobs market and strong July retail sales numbers have dampened the talk of further easing and put investors on edge ahead of Bernanke’s Jackson Hole speech.
“I don’t think we are going to get QE3 at the Fed’s next meeting, but maybe later in the year,” Don Hanna, Managing Director at Fortress Investment Group told Squawk Box, referring to a possible third round of quantitative easing from the Fed.
In a sign that uncertainty in the equity markets is rising, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange Volatility Index, the VIX, has been moving higher over the last two weeks, suggesting fear is creeping back among investors.
Stocks were not the only market to watch for signs of likely strong reaction to Bernanke’s speech, Guppy said, noting that Treasurys and the U.S. dollar were also at critical levels on the technical charts.
He said that the dollar index [VIX 17.06 --- UNCH ] , which measures the dollar’s value against a basket of major currencies, is hovering around a long-term uptrend line in the 80-81 area. The index was trading at 81.55 in early Asia trade Thursday.
“We are sitting back on this (long-term uptrend) point so we either see a strong reaction away or a strong break away from this level (in response to Bernanke),” Guppy said. “And that’s the key factor we’re seeing across the board, because we are sitting on critical levels.”

Yes the I Box looks great, you done very good job presenting it.
I will evaluate my positions often to assure me the best and most informative way to
stay active, and I will revisit your generous and respectable offer.
George.
Dogs of the Dow is just one of those places
that never has garnered much activity.
This is its 3rd time around too.
It's seemed like a natural topic
even though I don't play dividend stocks.
Just doing it as a service to broader interests.
The iBox looks its best this time.
Hi PoemStone, have been by your board, due to not having an I HUB membership I am limited to 15 posts/day, so there is not enough room to cover all obligations. In the event I do change my status yours will be my first stop.

JNJ Johnson & Johnson now expects Synthes deal to boost profit
BY Reuters 9:30 PM ET 06/12/2012
By Ransdell Pierson
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=jnj
(Reuters) - Johnson & Johnson said it expects to complete its $19.7 billion purchase of Swiss medical device maker Synthes on Thursday and that the deal will slightly boost company profit this year, rather than being a moderate drag on earnings as previously expected.
U.S.-based J&J said late on Monday that the cash and stock deal, the largest in the company's history and which will give it a line of profitable tools and materials used in trauma surgery, should boost 2012 earnings by 3 to 5 cents a share.
The company said it had previously calculated the acquisition would hurt earnings by 22 cents per share, based on 2010 financial information.
"This represents an upside surprise relative to prior guidance," Wells Fargo analyst Larry Biegelsen wrote in a research note.
But company shares fell to $62.95 in after hours trading from their closing price of $63.08 on Monday on the New York Stock Exchange.
"Confusion over details of the financing may be sending the stock off a bit," said Piper Jaffray analyst Matt Miksic, who predicted shares could reclaim some lost ground on Tuesday.
Miksic said J&J disclosed it would use a greater amount of the company's overseas cash, from its Irish-based drug affiliate Jannsen Pharmaceutical, to help finance the deal - a move he believes would have favorable tax implications.
In addition, Janssen will buy about 204 million shares of J&J common stock for an initial price of $12.9 billion, J&J said. Company shares, along with cash, will be allocated to Synthes shareholders to satisfy terms of the deal.
Industry analysts, on average, had expected J&J's full-year earnings to rise about 2 percent this year to $5.12 per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
J&J, which sells a wide array of medical devices, said it plans to take after-tax charges related to the Synthes purchase of $1.1 billion for the remainder of 2012, including restructuring and integration costs.
The company expects the acquisition to boost 2013 earnings, excluding special items, by 10 cents to 15 cents per share.
J&J officials declined to comment further on the transaction, pending its completion.

Small Caps With 50% Upside in 2012 (TEN, WNR, APO, SNV, MTZ)
http://247wallst.com/2011/12/27/small-caps-with-50-upside-in-2012-ten-wnr-apo-snv-mtz/
2011 is all but gone and research firms are handing out their top picks for 2012. We have been reviewing some of the “Small Cap Stocking Stuffers” from the top small cap ideas for 2012 generated by Credit Suisse and it turns out that some of the stock picks are expected to have upside of 50% or more in the year ahead. The $1.0 to $2.5 billion in market capitalization is called the Small Cap Sweet Spot by Credit Su
isse, and the firm’s Favorite Ideas list in this value range features the following: Tenneco Inc. (NYSE: TEN), Western Refining Inc. (NYSE: WNR), Apollo Global Management, LLC (NYSE: APO), Synovus Financial Corporation (NYSE: SNV), and MasTec Inc. (NYSE: MTZ).
Other new additions to this were made but the rest did not have an implied 50% upside. We have offered details on each.
Tenneco Inc. (NYSE: TEN) is in the auto components sector and sports a $1.8 billion market capitalization rate. The stock trades at $29.97 and the firm’s price target is $53.00 as a growth pick, well above the Thomson Reuters consensus price target of $45.10. This gives implied upside of over 70%, but keep in mind that the firm added it to the Top Picks list in June when shares were around $37.50.

What Does Dogs Of The Dow Mean? An investing strategy that consists of buying the Ten DJIA stocks
with the highest dividend yield at the beginning of the year.
The portfolio should be adjusted a the beginning of each year to include the 10 highest yielding stocks.
Dividend yield is equal to the annual dividend per share divided by the stock price. For example, if the price of a stock is $20 per share
and that particular company has an annual dividend of $1, then the dividend yield would be $1 / $20 or 5%.

Dogs of the Dow : http://www.dogsofthedow.com/dogs2012.htm
A Dividend is a payment to shareholders. A dividend payment can be in the form of cash, stock, or property.
All dividends must be declared by the board of directors and are usually paid out on a quarterly basis. Or, as they may wish!
Mature, well established, blue chip companies tend to pay dividends as it gives investors an incentive to own their stock.
Small, rapidly growing companies tend not to pay dividends as any profits are reinvested within the company in hopes
of maintaining a rapid pace of growth. The top 5 yielders are referred to as the "Flying Five".
Somebody needs to keep up with Big-Board Trading.

I'll wait till I hear from you.
An old mod will try to take it.
