RELATED TICKERS: XOM
Exxon Mobil has made a very well formed triangle. It is very near the apex indicating a strong move is immanent. Odds are it will be to the down side and continue the underlying long-term trend. After just having a poor earnings report on July 30 and missing analysts’ expectations by $0.18 the market could be showing a late reaction to the news. Earnings came in at $0.84 on a $1.02 forecast. Revenues were off 46% year over year. Earnings are 67% below October ’08 high’s and have fallen dramatically over the last 3 quarters. article continued [more]

RELATED TICKERS: SDTHQ
Shangdatech (SDTH) blew away the numbers after the bell today. They handily beat First Call estimates of $0.07 and came in at $0.12. I think this is enough to fuel the stock up to about $7.20 in my estimation. But with the run up in after hours it might get there tomorrow. Unless someone sees something I dont its hard to hold this possition past this target. At least until next quarter should they announce another blow out.
