Thanks Bigtoe... (bleep) I had it set for DMA instead of SMA. Got it fixed.

200 MA @ $14.7894, 50 MA $14.8984. I verified these numbers this morning on etrade pro. If the 50MA crosses below the 200MA we will have a bullish golden cross.

Candlestick Analysis
Today’s Candlestick Patterns:
Black Candlestick

Our system posted a SELL CONFIRMED today. The previous BUY recommendation was issued on 03.15.2011 (63) days ago, when the stock price was 14.3000. Since then F has gained 4.69% .

SELL-IF is confirmed by a black candlestick with a lower open. The selling price is (yesterday's open)...today's open ( 15.060 ) according to the Rules of Confirmation.

Bears are getting stronger. The market hesitated a bit, but finally confirmed the bearish pattern with a one day delay. It opened today with a gap-down and the day’s activity resulted in a close lower than the open. This is a valid bearish confirmation.

We hope that you sold this stock . You should watch the downward gap in the opening, wait a bit, feel the bearish tendency of the market making sure that prices stay below the opening price and then sell your shares. Your benchmark was the opening price of the downward gap. A weakness in prices is implied as long as the prices stay below the benchmark.

If you sold, keep away from this stock until the confirmation of a new BUY-IF signal. What to do if you did not already sell? Maybe, you did not have time to follow the session or you simply delegated the delicate job of confirmation to us. Well, it is a bit late, but not too late. You may still find suitable prices for selling your shares in the following sessions.

The market is an inviting one for short-sellers. Risk lovers may now go for short sale.

Looks like we will close with either an inverted hammer, or gravestone doji. Either way, looks like we might finally get that reversal. Notice the parsar on the daily has also fipped indicating the start of a reversal.

Daily parsar just flipped to a buy on finviz

You beat me to it :)

"Ford's inverse head-and-shoulders is a bullish setup that suggests shares have found a bottom at the 200-day moving average. A break above the neckline (the blue like in the chart above) is the buy signal on this setup -- after that, I'd suggest a protective stop just below the neckline.

This is what I found after idcc2003 posted:

http://www.thestreet.com/story/11096047/2/ford-amazon-new-targets-estimates.html

Ford (F_) estimates trimmed at Credit Suisse. F 2011, 2012, and 2013 EPS estimates lowered to $1.75, $1.78, and $1.91, respectively. Strong 1Q11 results with healthy pricing and volume, Credit Suisse said. Maintain Neutral rating and $18 price target.

Ford Motor (F) numbers boosted at Goldman. Shares of F now seen reaching $20, according to Goldman Sachs. Estimates also upped, given better pricing momentum. Buy rating.

Ford price target raised to $22 from $20 at UBS. UBS raised its price target on Ford following Q1 results citing improved pricing, strong product launch, and Japanese inventory shortages. Shares are Buy rated.

I do think this is a good time to get in :)

Could it be a sell off because of the Bernanke Press Conference tomorrow?

Looking at the daily chart ~ ParSar flipped to an uptrend :)

Look at the daily chart. Looks like $14.80 was the resistance point around March 15th. It does "feel" like someone is holding the price down. I would have thought it would've run by now too... When's the quarterly due out?



Support

1. Any prior lower low than the current price
2. Any moving average that is lower than the current price
3. A major resistance level that was broken to the upside and then comes down to this (old) major resistance level, this will now be support
4. Bottom channel lines

Resistance

1. Any prior higher high then the current price
2. Any moving average that is higher then the current price
3. A major support level that was broken to the downside and then comes up to this (old) major support level, this will now be resistance
4. Top channel lines

$14.49 200DMA

Ford(F), Target: $21, Upside: 46%

Buying On Unrealistic Expectations

http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/4897436

The major averages have signaled that the bull market remains in full swing. Every recent scare has amounted to nothing more than a minor correction, and even the technically overheated market of late January was able to right itself and gain strength.

However, scattered among the rising share prices have been some huge disappointments. Looking back on first quarter earnings, it has become readily apparent that some stocks that were once market leaders have become victims of unrealistic expectations from an overly-excited investing public.

But instead of running away from these names with the herd, I recommend you take a second look a several of these names that could continue higher in spite of a rough first quarter…

Take blue chip carmaker Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F: 15.91, -0.14). While the other members of the Big Three were completely decimated during the financial crisis, Ford continued to improve its business — all while famously not asking for bailout money from Uncle Sam. The company returned to profitability in 2009, and as a result, shares more than doubled between late 2009 and January 2011.

But the carmaker's picture-perfect rise was cut down in late January. Ford posted its largest annual earnings in a decade, yet fell short of analysts' expectations when it came to its fourth quarter numbers. While the company reasoned that it was the added expense of prepping to launch the new Explorer and Focus models, investors took the wide miss as a sell signal.


Shares tanked. In only 24 hours, Ford stock dropped from the $18.80s to $16, which is about where shares remain today. The fall was simply the result of overzealous investors wanting perfect financial results that just weren't there. Ford's business is far from troubled. In fact, the stock looks well undervalued right now. Of course, the investor that bought at $17 or $18 has been set back a bit — but I wouldn't expect these buyers to be underwater by the end of the year.

There are a lot of companies that don't need to do these PUMP news letters. It is common for a "third party" to come along and pay for it to benefit their own group...

Still here :) Busy playing with another stock of mine today... and trying to soothe 3 screaming babies all day! whew...
