Trade Journal By M.A. Perry
Trader and Founder of WRB Analysis (wide range body analysis)

Trade journals are crucial in preventing us traders from becoming complacent or content with our trading plan or the markets because without having the ability to review archives of past trading days in a forever changing market...we won't know it's time to adapt when change occurs in the markets because broker statements alone doesn't help us keep that edge in comparison to a trade journal. In addition, this public trade journal contains useful trading tips a few times per week to encourage readers to return for more information and to help ensure I myself don't forget the importance of basic concepts within my own trading plan. Further, there are market summaries from Youtube Bloomberg, CNNMoney and Yahoo Finance as a quick archive of what happened in the markets on a particular day of trading. Thus, if you're looking for trading tips and market summaries that can improve your trading and/or understanding of what happen on a particular day that involves more than just entry signals...consistently read this trade journal and the #FuturesTrades chat room logs where I post my trades in real-time from entry to exit (see link below) via my IRC user name wrbtrader.

Today's #FuturesTrades chat room logs is archived @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=624

U.S. Stocks Rise, S&P 500 Climbs to Four-Month High
Sept. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Bloomberg's Courtney Donohoe reports on the performance of the U.S. equity market today. U.S. stocks rose, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 Index to a four-month high, after Lennar Corp. beat analysts' earnings estimates and International Business Machines Corp. announced a $1.7 billion takeover. Bloomberg's Pimm Fox also speaks.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- A U.S. stock rally continued to pick up speed through Monday afternoon, with all three major indexes closing at four-month highs after a key group of economists called an official end to the recession.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) gained 146 points, or 1.4%, to end at 10,753, its highest close since mid-May. The tech-heavy Nasdaq (COMP) rallied 40 points, or 1.7%, to finish at 2,355.

The S&P 500 (SPX) added 17 points, or 1.5%, to close at 1,142. The index crossed 1,130, a key technical level watched closely by analysts, early in the session and continued to surge in the afternoon to cross the next short-term technical level of 1,140.

"The S&P has tried to sit above the 1,130 level in June, August and last week but failed, so the fact that it has broken up above that point and is staying there is considered a positive sign for the bulls and forcing traders to come back in," said Donald Selkin, chief market strategist at National Securities.

Trading has been choppy on Wall Street recently as investors look for solid signs pointing to a sustained recovery.

Buying picked up steam Monday after the National Bureau of Economic Research, the independent body of economists in charge of dating when recessions begin and end, announced that the 18-month Great Recession officially ended in June 2009.

"I think it was known that the recession ended then, but maybe the official announcement gives people some needed assurance," said Selkin.

Meanwhile, investors also took in a housing report showing homebuilder confidence is stuck at an 18-month low.

* Video: Eyes on housing

"Housing is a zombie market," said Joseph Saluzzi, co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading. "The housing index reading today was horrible, but the stock market is reacting positively, meaning that investors are looking for more stimulus."

But Saluzzi warned that if the gains aren't sustained for several sessions, stocks could edge down since market fundamentals are pointing lower.

"Any rally that is induced by stimulus is not sustainable," Saluzzi said. "I think you have the let the cycle play through."

In fact, trading could drift back into choppy waters this week as investors return their focus to more economic news on the housing market.

Economy: A report from the National Association of Home Builders -- the first of a number of readings on the housing market due out this week -- showed builder confidence for newly built single-family homes remained steady in September, after falling for three consecutive months.

The NAHB's Housing Market Index was unchanged at 13. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com were expecting builder sentiment index to edge up to 14.

Data on housing starts and building permits in August come out Tuesday, while reports on new and existing home sales are slated for release later in the week.

Fed: Investors will also be watching the Federal Reserve's announcement on interest rate policy Tuesday. The central bank is widely expected to hold rates steady, but investors will parse the Fed's policy statement for clues on the economic outlook.

Companies: Against the backdrop of housing data due out this week, two major homebuilders are also releasing their latest earnings reports.

Lennar (LEN) reported $825 million in revenue -- a 14% rise over the year-earlier quarter. Profit was $30 million, or 16 cents per share, well above analysts' forecasts of 4 cents per share on $760.2 million in revenue. Shares of Lennar rose 8.2%.

* Digging through the rubble: Best bank stocks

Rival homebuilder KB Home (KBH) will report earnings on Friday.

IBM (IBM, Fortune 500) announced Monday that it plans to acquire data storage company Netezza (NZ) for $27 per share, or about $1.7 billion. Netezza shares rose 15%.

In another tech merger, shares of Nu Horizons Electronics (NUHC) more than doubled to $6.90 on news that Arrow Electronics (ARW, Fortune 500) will buy the company for $7 a share.

Verizon Communications (VZ, Fortune 500) named Lowell McAdam as its president and chief operating officer, putting him second in line to Chairman and CEO Ivan G. Seidenberg. Shares were up 1.3%.

BP (BP) announced Sunday that its Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico has been cemented shut and is "effectively dead." The well ruptured 5 months ago, causing the worst oil spill in U.S. history. BP's stock rose about 1.7%.

Spirit Airlines filed for an initial public offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

World markets: European shares closed with strong gains. Britain's FTSE 100 jumped 1.7%, the CAC 40 in France rose 1.8%, and Germany's DAX added 1.4%.

In Asia, the Hang Seng ended modestly higher, while the Shanghai Composite edged lower. Japanese markets were closed for a holiday.

Currencies and commodities: The dollar fell against the euro and the Japanese yen, but rose slightly against Britain's pound.

Oil futures for October delivery gained $1.20 to settle at $74.86 a barrel. The October contract is slated to expire at the end of trade Tuesday, with volume already picking up in the November contract.

Gold for December delivery rose $3.30 to settle at an all-time high of $1,280.80 an ounce. Earlier, it hit an intra-day high of $1,285.20 an ounce.

Bonds: The price on the 10-year Treasury note was slightly higher, pushing down the yield to 2.71% from 2.75% late Friday.

4:30 pm : The S&P 500 pushed through technical resistance to set a fresh four-month high on Monday. There were no catalysts or headlines to account for the climb. Only a bullish bias among market participants underpinned the move.

Stocks made only modest gains in the early going. Most traders took their cues from Europe, where the major bourses staged strong gains as concerns about sovereign debt subsided. Early action was generally consistent with the relatively cautious trade that typically precedes an FOMC announcement, the latest of which will be released tomorrow afternoon.

Though no rate actions are expected tomorrow, many will look for changes in the verbiage of the actual the FOMC statement to give clues about where policy might be headed. The looming announcement comes after the National Bureau of Economic Research announced this morning that the recession that began in December 2007 ended in June 2009. Such a stretch made it the longest recession of any since World War II.

Amid an absence of market-moving headlines and uncertainty about the pace of the economic recovery and plans to support it, stocks still attracted enough support to push the S&P 500 through key resistance levels. The broad market index barely paused as it crossed through the top end of its summer trading range to reach its highest level since May. Momentum was helped by some short covering among those that thought resistance would hold.

Support was broad based with all 10 major sectors staging gains, but a 2.0% gain made financials the best performers of the day. Discover Financial (DFS 16.16, +0.59) was a leader in the sector after it posted better-than-expected earnings.

Lennar (LEN 15.14, +1.15) reported better-than-expected earnings of its own to help homebuilders rally ahead of September housing starts data, which is scheduled for release tomorrow morning. A 5.6% gain among homebuilders helped lift the consumer discretionary sector 1.9%.

The tech sector advanced 1.4% amid continued merger and acquisition activity, which includes news that IBM (IBM 131.79, +1.60) will acquire Netezza (NZ 28.27, +3.67) for $27.00 per share and L-1 Identity Solutions (ID 11.64, +1.94) will be acquired by Safran for $12.00 per share.

The tone of trade was decidedly positive this session, but the persistent lack of trading volume suggests that retail investors still are not completely on board.

Advancing Sectors: Financials (+2.0%), Consumer Discretionary (+1.9%), Energy (+1.7%), Telecom (+1.6%), Industrials (+1.5%), Tech (+1.4%), Health Care (+1.4%), Utilities (+1.3%), Consumer Staples (+1.0%), Industrials (+0.6%)
Declining Sectors: (None)DJ30 +145.77 NASDAQ +40.22 NQ100 +1.7% R2K +2.9% SP400 +1.7% SP500 +17.12 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 2151/2.00 bln/564 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2490/956 mln/560

3:30 pm : Oct natural gas futures ended lower by 4.4% to $3.82 per MMBtu today, the largest decliner in the commodities sector. While natural gas's recent run up can largely be attributed to the threat of hurricanes, the pull back below the $4 level can be attributed to the dissipation of those storms. Natural gas closed the session just above its lows at $3.81. Oct crude oil finished higher by 1.6% to $74.86 per barrel. A rally in equities helped crude move higher for the first time in 5 days.

It was a relatively uneventful session for Dec gold, which ended higher by 0.2% to $1280.80 per ounce, and Dec silver, which shed 0.2% to close at $20.80 per ounce.DJ30 +153.41 NASDAQ +37.99 SP500 +17.23 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 2082/1.6 bln/587 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2443/622.6 mln/585

3:00 pm : A bullish bias continues to bolster buyers, such that the stock market is on pace for its best percentage gain in two weeks and continues to gradually extende its climb to new four-month highs. However, there hasn't been much volume behind this session's move -- only an hour of trade remains and only a bit more than a half billion shares have exchanged hands on the NYSE.

Trading volume has been anemic in recent weeks, though share volume saw a precipitous spike with the quadruple witching options expiration this past Friday. DJ30 +144.90 NASDAQ +33.81 SP500 +15.96 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 2009/1.36 bln/659 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2409/526 mln/619

2:30 pm : The stock market has taken another step higher so that it now stands at its best level of the day. The move also marks an extension of the S&P 500's four-month high.

Strength remains broad-based, but energy stocks are in the best shape. The sector is currently up 1.7% with help from higher oil prices, which overcame a sluggish and relatively flat start to head into the close of pit trade with a 1.8% gain at $75 per barrel.

Despite the bullish bias of this session's trade, volatility is down only slightly. Specifically, the Volatility Index, often euphemistically dubbed the Fear Gauge, is down 1.3%. DJ30 +127.38 NASDAQ +30.37 SP500 +13.97 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1919/1.24 bln/726 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2353/469 mln/665

2:00 pm : Treasuries are back near their best levels of the session. That has forced the yield on the 10-year Note down to 2.72%. Weakness in the Treasury space has been unsustainable over the past week and a half.

Recent buying at the long end of the yield curve has not been as strong as the yield on the 30-year Bond hovers just above 3.86%.

The yield curve has worked its way flatter for much of the early afternoon. DJ30 +109.40 NASDAQ +26.32 SP500 +12.10 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1906/1.20 bln/711 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2354/456 mln/643

1:30 pm : The stock market continues to drift sideways along its session high. The drift has allowed this session's gains, the best in one week, to consolidate as stocks trade at their best levels since May.

Semiconductor stocks have been lagging all session. As such, the Semiconductor HOLDRs ETF (SMH 26.56, -0.07) is down modestly. Its weakness comes after it outperformed last week, when they racked up a cumulative gain of 2.3%. DJ30 +105.24 NASDAQ +24.31 SP500 +11.73 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1900/1.12 bln/708 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2335/422 mln/631

1:00 pm : Stocks managed only modest gains in the early going, but a flurry of buying has since sent the stock market to a fresh four-month high.

Morning participants took their trading cues from Europe, where the major bourses there put together impressive gains amid cooled concerns about the health of sovereign debt. Though initial gains were incremental, they were enough to take the S&P 500 back to the top end of its recent trading range. Once the stock market pushed through resistance in that area it quickly climbed to its best level since May as a flurry of fresh bids and short covering added to the upward momentum.

The stock market's spike comes during what would ordinarily be a rather quiet session, since it precedes the latest FOMC policy statement, which will be released tomorrow afternoon.

The FOMC announcement comes immediately after the National Bureau of Economic Research determined that June 2009 marked the end of the recession that began in December 2007. The 18-month recession was the longest of any recession since World War II.

Housing starts data for September is also scheduled for release tomorrow. Homebuilders are strong ahead of that report, but mostly because of better-than-expected earnings from Lennar (LEN 15.16, +1.17).

Discover Financial (DFS 16.11, +0.54) also posted better-than-expected earnings. It is a leader among financials, which are up 1.3% at the moment.

In other corporate news, IBM (IBM 131.47, +1.28) will acquire Netezza (NZ 27.67, +3.07) for $27.00 per share and L-1 Identity Solutions (ID 11.64, +1.94) will be acquired by Safran for $12.00 per share.

Analysts at Goldman Sachs downgraded U.S. Steel (X 45.40, -0.80) and Nucor (NUE 38.42, -0.32), but upgraded Freeport-McMoRan (FCX 83.23, +1.51). In turn, steel stocks (-0.7%) are hampered the materials sector (+0.3%), while diversified metals and miners (+1.7%) have provided support.

Outside of stocks, the dollar is down modestly against competing currencies after it had rebounded from an overnight slide earlier today, and even though participants have shown a willingness to take on risk Treasuries have actually garnered modest support. DJ30 +92.41 NASDAQ +21.45 SP500 +10.18 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1883/1.01 bln/711 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2289/390 mln/667

12:30 pm : Materials stocks continue to lag the broader market. The sector's current gain of 0.3% is just one-third of what is currently sported by the S&P 500.

Steel stocks continue weaken the materials sector. They are down 0.8% at the moment. However, that has been offset by a 1.6% gain by diversified metals and miners following news that Freeport-McMoRan (FCX 83.10, +1.38) was upgraded by analysts at Goldman Sachs. DJ30 +86.43 NASDAQ +19.16 SP500 +9.42 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1862/940 mln/711 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2276/355 mln/656

12:00 pm : The stock market has eased off of its session high, but strong, broad-based gain remain.

At any moment President Obama is expected to begin a Town Hall event. Market participants will likely look for clues regarding policy and planning that could impact the economic and corporate picture.

Obama's meeting comes after the National Bureau of Economic Research determined that a trough in business activity occurred in the U.S. economy in June 2009. The trough marks the end of the recession that began in December 2007. The recession lasted 18 months, which makes it the longest of any recession since World War II. DJ30 +100.05 NASDAQ +23.47 SP500 +11.07 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1894/850 mln/661 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2340/320 mln/591

11:30 am : The stock market has paused to take a bit of a breather after running up to a new four-month high. Consumer discretionary stocks (+1.7%), energy stocks (+0.5%), and financials (+1.3%) are up the most.

In contrast, the dollar has turned lower after it had rebounded from an overnight slide. It now trails competing currencies by about 0.2%.

Though participants have shown a willingness to take on risk by pursuing equities and dumping the dollar, Treasuries have actually held steady at the neutral line. DJ30 +111.33 NASDAQ +27.61 SP500 +12.75 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1935/745 mln/592 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2394/280 mln/521

11:00 am : The S&P 500 recently pushed through resistance levels around 1128 to set a fresh four-month high. The move has been broad-based as short-sellers are forced to cover their bets that the market would break down in the face of resistance. Momentum has also been helped by a flurry of new bids made in order to ride this latest leg of gains higher.

What's more impressive is that the stock market's advance comes ahead of the latest FOMC policy statement, which will be released tomorrow afternoon. Action ahead of FOMC statements is often lackluster as many act cautiously. Tomorrow's announcement is expected to remain consistent with those of recent months. DJ30 +110.92 NASDAQ +29.52 SP500 +12.17 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1952/635 mln/539 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2419/238 mln/486

10:35 am : The Dollar Index has pulled back into the red in recent trade, which has given strength to select commodities this morning.

Right as pit trading began, October crude oil rallied off of session lows of $73.32 per barrel. The energy component pushed into positive territory and to new session highs of $74.55 per barrel. Currently, crude is trading just under that level at $74.60 per barrel, up 1.3%.

October natural gas has been in negative territory all session. It fell sharply when pit trading started and fell to new session lows of $3.86 per MMBtu. Currently, its trading 3.7% lower at $3.87 per MMBtu.

Precious metals are modestly higher. December gold traded just above the unchanged line overnight and in the morning session. Currently, gold is 0.4% higher at $1283.00 per ounce, December silver was tracking gold for most of the session. Silver did lose steam earlier this morning, but managed to move back in positive territory, now up 0.4% at $20.90 per ounce.DJ30 +91.12 NASDAQ +24.92 SP500 +9.67 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1836/456.1 mln/592 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2302/175.6 mln/525

10:00 am : Stocks are still in positive territory, but early action has been rather choppy as the major indices try to find direction.

Telecom stocks have pulled back a bit since jumping out to a lead. The sector now trades with a 0.5% gain.

The consumer discretionary sector is looking strong at the moment. Its 0.7% gain makes it the best performing sector at the moment. Most of that move is owed to strength in homebuilders (+2.6%) following better-than-expected earnings from Lennar (LEN 14.76, +0.77). Housing starts data for September is scheduled for release tomorrow morning. DJ30 +42.23 NASDAQ +8.33 SP500 +4.25 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1228/225 mln/1023 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1729/99 mln/942

09:45 am : Stocks are up with broad, but modest gains in the early going. Only the materials sector is in the red -- it is currently down 0.5% -- as steel stocks come under pressure following a downgrade of U.S. Steel (X 44.69, -1.51) and Nucor (NUE 38.20, -0.51) by analysts at Goldman Sachs.

Telecom is in the best shape, so far. The sector currently boasts a 0.8% gain, which has been underpinned by a gains among both wireless service providers (+0.8%) and integrated plays like AT&T (T 28.36, +0.19), which was recently upgraded by analysts at Credit Suisse. DJ30 +24.4 NASDAQ +3.79 SP500 +2.29 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1085/139 mln/1088 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1412/71 mln/1206

09:15 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +1.50. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +3.80. Last week the S&P 500 advanced 1.4% for its third straight weekly gain. The positive tone has carried over into a new week with help from Europe's major bourses, which have advanced solidly in recent trade. The euro has come under pressure in the past hour, such that it now trails the dollar by a slight margin after it had been up about 0.5% at its session high. At the same time, the pound has extended its slide so that it now trails the greenback by a 0.5%. Corporate headlines include news that IBM (IBM) will acquire Netezza (NZ) for $27 per share following a few weeks of takeover speculation. L-1 Identity Solutions (ID) will be acquired by Safran for $12.00 per share. Earnings have been limited, but both Lennar (LEN) and Discover Financial (DFS) bested bottom line estimates. No major economic announcements are scheduled for today, so many will begin to look ahead to the latest FOMC statement, which is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.

09:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +1.60. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +4.00. Futures for the S&P 500 have slipped a bit in recent minutes, but the dollar has rebounded from an early morning slide so that it is now up fractionally against the euro. Meanwhile, the British pound is down 0.4% against the greenback, even though analysts at Moody's stated that the Aaa rating of the United Kingdom will withstand economic challenges. Moody's retained its stable outlook on the Aaa rating. Britain's FTSE currently leads Europe's major bourses. The Index has climbed to a 1.1% gain amid broad-based support. Vodafone and Rio Tinto (RTP) are primary leaders at the moment. BP Plc (BP) is also strong amid news that the company has confirmed completion of kill operations on its oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. In France, the CAC is up 0.7%. It is currently led by energy giant Total (TOT). Sanofi-Aventis (SNY) is also a leader, but ArcelorMittal (MT) has been a bit of a drag. Infineon Tech and BMW have helped Germany's DAX make its way to a 0.5% gain. Deutsche Bank (DB) has been an underperformer, though.

Action in Asia was largely subdued as Japan's Nikkei remained closed for holiday observance. The yen has had a generally quiet session. It is currently down less than 0.2% against the dollar. The Shanghai Composite closed with a 0.4% loss as decliners outnumbered advancing issues by more than 2-to-1. China Shenhua and Inner Mong Bao were among the heaviest drags. Ping An Insurance provided support, though. Hong Kong's Hang Seng finished flat following some seesaw trade. Hutchison Whampoa and China Mobile provided leadership, but banking issues HSBC (HBC), China Construction Bank, and Industrial & Commercial Bank undermined action.

08:30 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +4.10. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +6.50. Silver prices are now up 0.6% to $20.94 per ounce, which puts them within close range of the 30-month high of $21.03 per ounce that was set this past Friday. As for gold, it has eased back a bit to trade with a 0.4% gain at $1280.90 per ounce after the continuous contract set a new record high of $1283.40 per ounce overnight. Oil prices are up just 0.1% to $73.75 per barrel in electronic trade. Meanwhile, natural gas prices are currently down 1.5% to $3.96 per MMBtu.

08:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +3.80. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +6.00. Stock futures point to a solid start for the first session of the week. The bid comes amid renewed gains in Europe, where the euro has made a nice bounce following cooled concerns about the health of sovereign debt in the continent. Precious metals futures are also up nicely as both gold and silver sport a 0.5% gain at $1282 and $20.90 per ounce, respectively. There are no major economic announcements scheduled for today, but that makes for a bit of buildup ahead of the FOMC's latest monetary policy statement on Tuesday.

07:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +4.80. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +8.80.

07:00 am : Nikkei...Holiday......... Hang Seng...21977.34...+6.50...0.00.

07:00 am : FTSE...5572.05...+63.60...+1.20%. DAX...6247.06...+37.30...+0.60%.
