The 50/200 Cross: HCP

Pete @ 3:01 PM | | Leave a Comment

A stock scan performed after the close on Tuesday for “the cross” found one stock that might be instructive. There were no ‘golden crosses’ with today’s market action:

  1. HCP, Inc. (NYSE:HCP)

The 50/200 “Cross”

The thesis goes something like this: the up or “golden” cross (50-day MA moves above 200-day MA) is supposed to be bullish while the down or “death” cross (50-day MA moves below 200-day MA) portends to weakness.

HCP, Inc. (HCP)
HCP is in the REIT industry, primarily focusing on properties serving the health care industry. The company announced earnings earlier this month.

The 50/200 Cross: RSH

Pete @ 10:56 AM | | Leave a Comment

A stock scan performed after the close on Monday for “the cross” found one stock that might be instructive. There were no ‘golden crosses’ with today’s market action:

  1. RadioShack Corporation (NYSE:RSH)

The 50/200 “Cross”

The thesis goes something like this: the up or “golden” cross (50-day MA moves above 200-day MA) is supposed to be bullish while the down or “death” cross (50-day MA moves below 200-day MA) portends to weakness.

RadioShack Corporation (RSH)
RSH is in the retail (technology) industry. How will RSH be affected by Circuit City’s Chapter 11 filing. Will they pick up any CC customers or it’s sign that survival of the fittest is the name of the game now.

Circuit City: Fade to Black

Pete @ 3:13 PM | | Leave a Comment

Circuit City (NYSE:CC) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy today. While the financial media and bloggers are all talking about the company’s terrible fundamentals, investors should not be surprised by this news announcement because, once again, price action preceded and warned investors that “something was not right” in CC for a very long time.
