Word On The Street
The Dow had its best one day performance on Tuesday for the month of September rocketing up 180 points. The Dow is now only off 5% of record levels. What is the trade?
Tech stocks continue to outperform the markets. Pete Najarian says global growth continues to help the tech stocks. He likes
SAP AG (SAP). Jeff Macke likes the tech stocks for capital expenditures and the consumer. Guy Adami still loves
Hewlett Packard Company (
HPQ) and he thinks
Dell Inc. (DELL) has a $30 handle. Oil traded up 1% as OPEC raised production less then expected. Macke says OPEC doesn’t matter anymore and they basically cheat. Najarian says the oil service sector keeps working and he likes
Baker Hughes Incorporated (BHI),
Schlumberger Limited (SLB),
The Halliburton, Company (
HAL)
National-Oilwell Varco Inc. (NOV) and
BJ Services Company (
BJS) which he owns. Karen Finerman wonders if the peak oil theory will become relevant, but until it does she thinks demand for oil will increase.
Texas Instruments Incorporated (
TXN) fell after hours on lighter then expected revenues. Adami likes TXN he thinks it’s a long term bull story. Financial stocks were some of the strongest performers on Tuesday led by
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (
LEH). Macke says
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) closed the day not so great and he feels the market rally wasn’t really led by financials. Finerman thinks that GS will not report a record earnings number and Najarian disagrees and thinks they will report a monster earnings number. Macke says GS is a sell until they break $190 which is over head resistance.
McDonald’s Corporation (
MCD) traded higher after reporting blowout August same-store sales. Macke likes McDonald’s off the weak dollar and he recommends owning it now. Finerman says the MCD numbers were strong on every front. Adami likes that MCD beat North American comps and Najarian likes that they had strong numbers in Asia.
Masco Corporation (MAS) fell after a Merrill Lynch downgrade. Adami thinks that Merrill is late to the party and you can own Masco down here. He feels most of the bad news is in the stock. Finerman prefers
American Standard Companies Inc. (ASD). Najarian highlighted unusual call options activity on
St. Jude Medical Inc. (
STJ). Najarian says he is seeing monster options activity for the September $50 calls with over 14,000 contracts trading hands Tuesday.
He feels that someone is placing a bet that the company is going to be acquired.
