Watchlist for April 27, 2006
at 2006-05-02 21:42:37

I've updated last night's post in response to some questions & comments.

It looks like good reasons to tread cautiously today (from Briefing.com):

S&P futures vs fair value: -6.8. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -9.2.

Futures versus fair value are signaling a negative start for stocks as another batch of strong earnings reports take a back seat to more interest rate uncertainty. Investors are showing a sense of reserve following an unexpected rate hike by China's central bank which creates concerns about slower, global economic growth. Upcoming testimony by Fed Chairman Bernanke at 10:00 ET, which could shed some light on prospects for monetary policy, is also underpinning some early hesitancy on the part of buyers.

for shorts in some of the commodities stocks that have been running like mad. Top of my list is TIE.
