Retail watch: Early Black Friday channel checks 11/29/13

Retail watch: Early Black Friday channel checks

• Target (TGT) reportedly has seen strong store traffic and 2X more early orders on Target.com than a year ago.
• Best Buy (BBY) and GameStop (GME) look set for a huge day with many reports of long lines, although some stores have already run out of XBox One and PlayStation 4 gaming consoles which could cut down on the festive mood.
• Informal checks at Coach (COH) outlets show slow traffic.
• Gap (GPS) in on the hot seat with inventory and store management issues cropping up a bit more than expected. The retailer's strategy this Black Friday has been an all-out selling binge which could test the ability of its omnichannel operations.
• What to watch: The battle of Gap-brand Athleta vs. Lululemon (LULU) for market share heats up this year with many new Athleta stores popping up extremely close to LULU outlets. Athleta has more promotions today while Lululemon is relying on brand loyalty.

Stock Alerts - 3D Systems (DDD +4.7%), Stratasys (SSYS +4.3%), Voxeljet (VJET -3.1%) -11/21/13

3D printing plays rally following bullish notes ... but not Voxeljet

• After getting drubbed two days in a row, 3D Systems (DDD +4.7%), Stratasys (SSYS +4.3%), ExOne (XONE +2.5%), and Proto Labs (PRLB +3.3%) are all rebounding a bit. Industrial inspection/scanning tool vendor Perceptron (PRCP +7.9%), whose status as a 3D printing play has been hotly debated, is also joining in on the fun.
• S&P has raised its PT for 3D Systems to $84 from $63, citing sales and margin growth. Meanwhile, Piper has issued a bullish note on Stratasys: The firm notes management was upbeat during a recent talk, and thinks MakerBot's 3D printer sales are better than expected.
• Back in August, Kara Swisher reported MakerBot is expecting 2013 revenue of $75M+, up ~5x from a 2012 level of $15.7M.
• Voxeljet (VJET -3.1%), which was hammered yesterday thanks in part to a bearish and colorful Citron Research report, is notably missing out on today's rally. Voxeljet's decline comes even though Citi has defended the company against Citron, stating only 3 of the 52 companies that have bought the German firm's printers have been provided loans.
• Voxeljet is down 46% over the last three trading days, but still up 186% from its $13 October IPO price.

SPX Support, Resistance, Moving Averages and Other Important Levels for Trading the Week of Nov 4-8, 2013

FOR 11/4 SPX resistance, pivot &  support
Resistance R3 1780.27, R2 1772.97, R1 1767.30
Pivot Point 1760.00
Support  S1 1754.33,  S2 1747.03, S3 1741.36

FOR Weekly 11/4-11/8 SPX resistance , pivot & support
Resistance R3 1796.19, R2 1785.70, R1 1773.67
Pivot Point 1763.18
Support  S1 1751.15, S2 1740.66, S3 1728.63

Late last week the bulls and bears are fight but Bulls control market some but small gain in weekly. Weekly the SPX traveled over 23 point range, through the 1775-1752 range, a 23-handle range. VIX at 14.45-13.06 range. When the VIX moves up near 20 and higher, this wild behavior will appear meek. The case can be made for both sides right now. Bulls are happy to see the price close at the 50-day MA at 1698 and 20-day MA at 1737. The bulls are able to print above the 20-day MA so use that as a major bulls are control the market now.

SPX 1646 has five Minor waves: 1712-1696-1759-1741-1775. The fifth wave, only 34 points, was the shortest. After that high the market has declined in an abc to SPX 1756, rallied to 1769, then declined in another abc to 1753 on Friday. At the second low there was a clear short term positive divergence, and the market rallied into the close. This decline could be labeled Minor a of Int. wave iv/d, Friday's rally Minor b, with Minor c to follow next week. This appears to be the most probable count. There appears to be good resistance between SPX 1766 and 1769, with good support around SPX 1740. If the market drops into the SPX low 1740′s and then begins to impulse again the i-ii-iii-iv-v count is in play. If it drops below SPX 1730 then the a-b-c-d-e count is in play.

Short term support is at SPX 1753 and SPX 1730, with resistance at the 1779 pivot range and SPX 1804. Short term momentum is rising off a positive divergence. The short term OEW charts have flip-flopped for two days now, ended positive, with the reversal level at SPX 1760. Best to your trading next week.

Support for the SPX remains at 1740, 1720 and then 1700, resistance at 1770 and then 1791.

FOREIGN MARKETS

The Asian markets were mostly higher on the week gaining 0.5%. China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan and Singapore are all in confirmed downtrends.

The European markets were mostly higher but only gained 0.2%.

The Commodity equity group were all lower losing 0.7%.

Stocks to Watch –Solar stocks, November 1, 2013

Crude oil prices have been surging recently, and there is little sign that the momentum will be slowing down. Every time crude oil reaches these types of elevated levels, it seems that interest in alternative forms of energy also rise. Solar is one type of alternative energy that gets particular attention, and should be on investors' radar going into 2013. 

First Solar resumes trading, shares +8.1% AH; more on Q3

• First Solar (FSLR) is trading near its October highs following its big Q3 beat.
• While systems sales are taking center stage in Q3 report, the performance of First Solar's module ops also improved. Module production (exc. German plant closures) rose 10% Q/Q and 8% Y/Y to 426MW, cost/watt fell $0.08 Q/Q and Y/Y to $0.59, and conversion efficiency, which has historically trailed that of non-thin-film module vendors, rose 30 bps Q/Q and 60 bps Y/Y to 13.3%.
• Capacity utilization was 80% in Q3, +500 bps Q/Q but -600 bps Y/Y. The company's 2013 module-only shipment guidance range has been favorably narrowed to 400MW-500MW from 300MW-500MW.
• On the other hand, First Solar is now guiding for 2013 systems shipments of 1.2GW, down from a prior 1.3GW; that's the main reason for the revenue guidance cut. 50% of Desert Sunlight revenue is now set to be recognized this year, up from ~33%.
• First Solar ended Q3 with $1.5B in cash/investments, up from $1.3B at the end of Q2. Opex rose 19% Y/Y, less than rev. growth of 51%.
