Microsoft And Yahoo Charts Look Bearish

I wish I could share some optimism with all of you, but looks like the worst might be in front of us. There are no clear indications of the gravity of the entire complexity of the crisis; no one has sufficient courage to inform the market, which are the real numbers behind the collapse of the subprime. Yesterday, the US Treasury Secretary warned that more banks will fail despite the $700bn rescue package to shore up the financial system, and also said that the financial crisis would not end soon. In addition, on the same day, the IMF’s chief economist, Oliveri Blanchard, said the orchestrated rate-cuts could not solve the world’s financial crisis on their own but were clearly a step in the right direction. What does this mean for us? Difficult times ahead.

The only conviction that I have is the clear certainty that the coming year will be bad. It will be very rough. A lot of bad things will happen again with many layoffs and an international turmoil. From now on, playing in this market will be tough, where any stop loss must be well introduced to avoid the high levels of volatility. No one is more confident about the financial institutions; the losses exceeded the reality for many people. Those responsible for these bankruptcies are now enjoying the sun and the beach somewhere in the world, while most of the shareholders are crying in the streets with their pockets completely empty. What democracy is this? Why there is no law to punish these guys? The economy is near collapse thanks to those vultures.

Shares of Yahoo (YHOO) dropped to a new 52-week low in final trading Thursday. Shares ended the day down $1.11, or 8 percent, to close at $12.65 on heavy trading. 40 million shares were traded, the average daily volume is 20 million shares. Technically, the stock is in a bearish mode with MACD below signal line and the price below both 50 and 200 day moving averages. Analysis of the stochastic shows the bearish trend would persist. So right now, I would like to stay away from this stock.
