AKTIEN
--------------------------------------------------
DEUTSCHLAND: - GUT BEHAUPTET -
Gestützt auf positive Vorgaben werden deutsche Aktien am Freitag voraussichtlich freundlich in den Handel starten. IG Index berechnete den DAX DAX.ETR am Morgen bei 6.188 Punkten. Am Donnerstag hatte der deutsche Leitindex 0,09 Prozent auf 6.177,42 Punkte eingebüßt. Der US-Leitindex Dow Jones INDU.IND legte nach Xetra-Schluss gut 9 Punkte zu. Er schloss damit erstmals über 12.000 Punkten. Auch der Nikkei-225-Index N225.FX1 verzeichnete am Morgen in Tokio Kursgewinne.

USA: - GUT BEHAUPTET -
Der US-Leitindex Dow Jones hat am Donnerstag erstmals über 12.000 Punkten geschlossen. Er schloss mit plus 0,16 Prozent bei 12.011,73 Punkten auf einem neuen Rekordhoch. Mit der Flut an Unternehmensbilanzen im Fokus habe seien die Aktienindizes um ihr Vortagesniveau gependelt - der Dow habe aber dank der Kursgewinne bei den Schwergewichten wie Exxon Mobil und Altria den Sprung auf einen neuen Schlussrekord geschafft, sagten Händler. Neben den Bilanzen seien die Konjunkturdaten oder der etwas höhere Ölpreis sowie der schwächere US-Dollar eher in den Hintergrund gerückt.

JAPAN: - ETWAS FESTER -
Der Nikkei-225-Index N225.FX1 gewann am Morgen in Tokio rund 0,6 Prozent.

RENTEN: - KAUM VERÄNDERT -
Der für den Anleihemarkt richtungsweisende Euro-Bund-Future FGBL122006F.DTB dürfte nach Einschätzung von Experten kaum Impulse erhalten. Nachdem der Bund-Future von schwächeren Konjunkturdaten am Donnerstag nicht profitiert habe, ist laut Commerzbank an einem eher ereignislosen Handelstag das Potenzial für Kursgewinne eher beschränkt. Auf der anderen Seite hat der Abwärtsdruck aber auch nicht zugenommen. Nach Einschätzung der HSH Nordbank könnte jedoch die Entspannung im Nord-Korea-Konflikt den Bund-Future unter Druck bringen.

DEVISEN: - HÖHER -
Der Euro hat sich im späten Handel am Donnerstag klar über 1,26 Dollar gehalten. Neuer Konjunkturoptimismus für die Eurozone habe die Gemeinschaftswährung nach Tagen der Lethargie oben getrieben, sagten Händler. Devisenexperte Jens Eisenschmidt von HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt verwies dabei unter anderem auf die günstige Wachstumsprognose im Herbstgutachten.

Aktien-Märkte

Uneinheitlich aufgenommene Quartalsberichte wichtiger US-Unternehmen und dennoch ein Rekordschluss des Dow Jones (Schlussstand bei 12011 Indexpunkten). Damit setzt sich bisher die Serie steigender Kurse innerhalb intakter Aufwärtstrends fort, das mehrfach diskutierte Reaktionsrisiko besteht dennoch weiterhin fort (hier haben sich die markttechnischen Bedingungen noch nicht geändert). Andererseits zeigt sich aber auch, dass ein undifferenziertes ?Wetten? auf eine Reaktion keinen Sinn machen würde und wir mit entsprechenden Positionsaufbauten durchaus warten müssen, bis sich entsprechend konkrete Indikationen herleiten lassen.

In der Konsequenz bedeutet dies, dass wir uns des erhöhten Reaktionsrisikos der Aktienmärkte bewusst sein müssen und uns nicht dem ungebremsten Anstieg der Märkte auf Dauer sicher sein können. Andererseits sind stabile Aufwärtstrends bisher ein Fakt, der das Gesamtbild der Märkte dominiert. Ein Marktteilnehmer brachte es gestern auf den Punkt: ?Die Leute werden die Zeitung aufschlagen und sagen `okay, wir hatten einen weiteren Rekord´, aber wir hatten auch ein paar ganz schön enttäuschende Zahlenvorlagen. Das zeigt, dass es nicht überall gut aussieht.?

Doch bis sich dies tatsächlich in den Kursen widerspiegelt, bleiben die Märkte bullish. Beurteilen wir die Kursverläufe der Aktien-Indizes ausschließlich technisch, gibt es aktuell keine Indizien, die ein wirkliches, baldiges Ende des Aufschwungs erwarten lassen. Bisher werden in den meisten der von uns beurteilten Märkte diese Trendverläufe sowohl chart- wie markttechnisch in nahezu jeder Beurteilungsweise bestätigt, weiterhin im Tages-, wie im Wochenchart. Leicht abweichend von dieser ?Geradlinigkeit? sehen wir die Kursentwicklung im japanischen Nikkei 225, der bereits im Vorfeld als einer der stärksten Indizes weltweit galt und nun, nach einer anhaltenden Verschnaufpause, etwas hinterherhinkt.

Als Fazit gilt demnach auch weiterhin: einen strategischen Long-Aufbau können wir mangels einer ausgeprägten, aber im Rahmen einer minimalen Reaktion verbleibenden Korrektur noch nicht regelkonform durchführen. Die Argumentation hierfür haben wir an dieser Stelle bereits im Vorfeld mehrmals diskutiert und das Für und Wider abgewogen. Das heißt: selbst auf die Gefahr, dass uns der Markt davon läuft, konzentrieren wir uns auf intraday-Aktivitäten und Eck-Trades, da ein Sprung in den laufenden Trend bei einer vorliegenden, allgemein leichten Überhitzung auch große Positionsrisiken bereithält. Wichtig ist für uns, dass der Markt korrigiert oder konsolidiert, um strategisch aktiv werden zu können. Taktisch gesehen, rechnen wir weiterhin mit einem erhöhten Reaktionsrisiko.

Renten-Futures

Auf der Rentenseite muss man sich nun fragen, ob eine Erholung kurzfristig noch wahrscheinlich ist, oder ob wir uns doch auf weiter fallende Kurse einrichten müssen. Fakt ist, dass bisher weder der FGBL, noch die beiden von uns beurteilten US-T-Bond-Futures (10 und 30 Jahre) ernsthafte Reaktionsansätze im Bezug auf den jüngsten, übergeordneten Abwärtsimpuls ausführten. Vielmehr konnten wir in den letzten Tagen eher eine Konsolidierung in vergleichsweise enger Handelsspanne unterstellen, welche sich in erster Linie in den beiden T-Bond-Futures durch die Ausbildung von Doji-Mustern auszeichnete. Damit wird der neutrale ?Trading? Charakter der Staubereiche sogar eher unterstrichen.

Im Bund-Future skizzierten wir im Tageschart eine ähnliche Struktur, auch hier schloss sich in den letzten Tagen dem jüngsten Abwärtstrend eine seitwärts ausgerichtete Konsolidierung an, deren Reaktionsausmaß unterhalb der ?erlaubten? Minimumkorrektur blieb. Konsequenterweise müssten wir jetzt unterstellen, dass das Risiko einer Weiterführung des Abschwungs, bei etwa 70 Prozent Wahrscheinlichkeit liegt. Einzig statistischer Schönheitsfehler dieser Auswertung ist der Fakt, dass diese Regel bereits bei einem neuen Bewegungsextrem als erfüllt gilt ? und dies sahen wir schon gestern Nachmittag, als der FGBL zumindest temporär für einige wenige Stunden unter das Bewegungstief vom 16. Oktober (bei 116.95) rutschte und damit praktisch den Trend fortsetzte.

Die Einschränkung im Nachhinein ist jedoch, dass der Future am Ende des Tages wider innerhalb der Handelsspanne schloss (Schlusskurs 117.00) und damit die Konsolidierung nicht wirklich als abgeschlossen angesehen werden kann. Aus praktischer Sicht hatte dieser Sachverhalt jedoch zur Folge, dass der im Vorfeld bereits definierte Trigger bei 116.95 für den Aufbau einer Short-Position, zwar ausgelöst, jedoch per Handelsschluss nicht bestätigt wurde. Damit musste hier auch auf Schlusskurs reagiert und eine Positionsschließung durchgeführt werden, da mit einem Schlusskurs innerhalb der Konsolidierungszone die Bedingung für einen Abschwung nicht mehr gegeben war.

Wie verfahren wir jetzt weiter? Wir halten angesichts der jüngsten Entwicklung das Risiko einer Fortsetzung des Abschwungs unverändert für gegeben, besonders mit Verweis auf die Tatsache, dass der FGBL in den letzten Tagen dass errechnete minimale Reaktionspotential nicht ausschöpfte, geschweige denn überstieg. Somit gilt unverändert: innerhalb der Konsolidierungszone betrachten wir den FGBL als neutral, hier bietet es sich lediglich an, mit kleinen Positionen intraday zu spekulieren oder sich ganz an die Seitenlinie zu stellen. Interessant wird es erst, wenn eine der Begrenzungslinien gebrochen wird. Auf der Oberseite wäre dies der Bereich um 117.47, auf der Unterseite hatten wir bisher die 116.95 definiert. Angesichts des gestrigen Durchstichs, passen wir den Trigger auf der Unterseite auf das gestrige Tagestief bei 116.86 an.

Hinweisen möchten wir jedoch auch auf die Tatsache, dass der Bereich um 116.81 bis etwa 116.69 ohnehin als potentielles Unterstützungsniveau zu interpretieren ist (hier verlief die Untergrenze der Konsolidierung Anfang September). Das heißt, wir werten dem Trigger bei jetzt 116.86 durchaus eine hohe Bedeutung zu, ein Scheitern des Ausbruchs (so ja auch gestern) muss jedoch hier als wahrscheinlicher angenommen werden, als in anderen Chart-Konstellationen. Mehr dazu gegebenenfalls im heutigen Handelstagebuch.

Wir wünschen Ihnen einen erfolgreichen Handelstag !!

Uwe Wagner

Ölpreis Brent - Key-Level zeigt Wirkung...
00:33 20.10.06

Rohölpreis der Nordseesorte Brent: 60,93 $ (Endloskontraktdarstellung)

Kurz-Kommentierung: Der Ölpreis Brent fiel in den vergangenen Wochen stark zurück und hat die bei 57,57 $ benannte Unterstützung erreicht. Darüber kommt es jetzt zu einer Stabilisierung. Eine kurzfristige Bodenbildung ist hier wahrscheinlich, die zunächst eine Gegenbewegung bis in den Bereich 67,40 $ einleiten sollte. In diesem Bereich muss dann aber mit einem weiteren Rückfall gerechnet werden. Erst darüber hellt sich das charttechnische Setup auch mittelfristig wieder deutlich auf. Steigende Notierungen bis 78,66 $ werden dann möglich. Kippt Brent hingegen direkt unter 57,57 $ auf Wochenschlussbasis zurück, sind weitere Kursverluste bis in den Bereich 47,35 $ in den kommenden Monaten zu erwarten

Google's Soaring Profits Stoke Stock
Friday October 20, 12:22 am ET
By Michael Liedtke, AP Business Writer  
Google's 3Q Profit Nearly Doubles, Topping Analyst Estimates by 20 Cents Per Share


SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Still mindful of the dot-com bubble, plenty of skeptics scoffed earlier this year when several Wall Street analysts rated Google Inc.'s stock price as a bargain at $400. Those bullish appraisals don't look so outrageous after Google dazzled investors with a third-quarter profit that nearly doubled, topping analyst estimates by a breathtaking 20 cents per share.
ADVERTISEMENT


"I am pretty amazed," Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt said during an interview Thursday after the results were released. "I did not expect us to do as well as we did."

The surprise had investors scrambling to buy Google's stock, lifting the shares by more than 7 percent in an after-hours move that signaled the company's market value may rise by another $10 billion Friday. That's enough wealth to finance another six deals similar to Google's recently announced plans to buy the Web's hottest video service, YouTube Inc.

The stock price now appears poised to reach its highest levels since January when it peaked at $475.11.

Besides reminding investors of Google's moneymaking prowess, the third-quarter performance underscored the Mountain View-based company's widening advantage over its main Internet rivals.

Yahoo Inc., which runs the Internet's second-largest advertising network behind Google, has been hurt by slowing revenue growth most of this year -- a problem that contributed to a 38 percent drop in its third-quarter profit.

"The difference between Google and the second and third place players has become enormous," Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry said. "This definitely shows that Google is going to own the next generation of the computing environment."

Chowdhry believes it won't be long before Google shares hit $600 -- a target first established at the beginning of the year by Piper & Jaffray Safa Rashtchy.

No matter the industry, few companies have ever matched Google's remarkable run of growth in the eight years since co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin launched their quirky business in a Silicon Valley garage -- part of a house that Google recently bought as a keepsake.

Most companies find it increasingly difficult to sustain their growth pace as they grow larger, but Google so far has been able to defy conventional thinking.

The third quarter, for instance, is supposed to be the most sluggish season for Internet companies because the summer tends to lure more people away from their computers. That tendency means Google should have fewer opportunities for its search engine to display the short text-based ads that account for most of its profits.

Google instead fared even better in the summer than in the winter, both in total profit and growth rates.

The company earned $733.4 million, or $2.36 per share, for the three months ended in September. That represented a 92 percent increase from net income of $381.2 million, or $1.32 per share, at the same time last year.

Back in the first quarter, Google's profit rose by a more pedestrian 60 percent from last year.

If not for expenses to cover employee stock compensation, Google said it would have earned $2.62 per share in the third quarter-- well above the average estimate of $2.42 per share among analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial.

Revenue for the period totaled $2.69 billion, a 70 percent increase from $1.58 billion last year.

After subtracting the commissions paid to Google's ad partners, revenue fell to $1.86 billion. That figure also topped analyst estimates by about $50 million.

Surpassing Wall Street's lofty expectations is nothing new for Google, which now has blown past analysts' projections in all but one of the nine quarters since its much-ballyhooed initial public offering of stock in August 2004.

The routine delights investors. Google shares gained $6.75 to close Thursday at $426.06 on the Nasdaq Stock Market, then climbed by $31.94, or 7.5 percent, in after-hours trading.

Google's success so far has hinged on its search engine, a piece of revolutionary technology that continues to attract new users.

In September, Google's held a 45 percent share of the U.S. search market, up from 44 percent in August, according to comScore Media Metrix. Yahoo's search share dipped to 28 percent in September, down from 29 percent the previous month while Microsoft Corp.'s share continued to hover around 12 percent, Media Metrix said.

That comfortable lead apparently hasn't made the company lackadaisical. Brin told analysts that Google recently introduced several improvements that increased the breadth and freshness of the search engine's index.

Meanwhile, Google continues to find new ways to pick out the ads most likely to pique enough interest to be clicked on, as Google makes money based on the number of clicks, Brin said.

"There are always new ways to monetize," Brin said during a Thursday conference call with analysts. "I don't see an obvious ceiling."

Toward that end, Google already is eyeing new opportunities for online video ads with its planned acquisition of YouTube Inc., which has become one of the Internet's hottest entertainment hubs. Google hopes to complete the $1.65 billion deal in the next month or so.

Although Google is buying San Bruno-based YouTube with its prized stock, the company also has plenty of money to finance its grand ambitions. Google ended September with $10.4 billion in cash.

As it grows, Google is hiring more workers at a furious pace. More than 1,400 more workers joined Google in the third quarter, expanding its payroll to just under 9,400 employees. For the past year, Google has been hiring an average of a dozen new employees per day.

OPEC Cuts Oil Production by 1.2M Barrels
Friday October 20, 2:08 am ET
By Tarek Al-Issawi, Associated Press Writer  
OPEC Decides to Cut Oil Production by a Greater-Than-Expected 1.2 Million Barrels a Day


DOHA, Qatar (AP) -- Oil cartel OPEC decided to cut production by a greater-than-expected 1.2 million barrels a day on Friday, and some members indicated it was open to further cuts.
United Arab Emirates oil minister Mohammed bin Dhaen al-Hamili made the announcement at a news conference after OPEC's oil ministers held an emergency meeting in the capital of Qatar.

ADVERTISEMENT


"This was a surprise, and gave the market an impression they are serious," said Ken Hasegawa, a broker at Himawari CX in Tokyo.

Crue oil prices have declined more than 25 percent since mid-July. After the announcement, a barrel of light sweet crude rose 47 cents to $58.97 in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, up from its close Thursday at $58.50.

Support for the move by the de facto leader of the cartel, Saudi Arabia oil minister Ali Naimi, shows the group's unity on the issue of price, another analyst after the announcement.

"If the market doesn't stabilize, they are going to continue to cut production," said Phil Flynn, an analyst at Alaron Trading Corp. in Chicago. "Prices from $57 to $60 is an area they are willing to defend."

UAE's Al-Hamili did not specify the amount of production that each member country would cut, but said the reductions will affect all countries except Iraq. It is to take effect Nov. 1.

The cuts will come from actual production levels, he said, and are more than the 1 million barrels a day being called for earlier by cartel members.

OPEC is currently producing about 29.5 million barrels of oil per day.

The cuts are the first time OPEC has trimmed its output since December 2004, when oil traded slightly above $40 a barrel and the cartel lowered its official production quota by 1 million barrels a day.

However, many observers expect further production cuts in the near future.

Michael Fitzpatrick, a New York-based oil broker at Fimat USA, said, "I'm not sure that a million barrels is going to be enough" of a cut to keep oil prices from further declines.

Qatar's Energy Minister Abdullah bin Hamid Al-Attiyah said the cartel's members are not excluding making further cuts.

Asked whether another cut could come in December, he said, "Everything is possible. We are working with the market and it is an open market."

Al-Hamili echoed the possibility, saying "We will monitor the market and review the situation and take a decision accordingly."

OPEC is scheduled to meet again in December in Nigeria and many analysts believe a further cut could be implemented then. "They better act quickly and decisively," Fitzpatrick said.

The organization's president, Edmund Daukoru of Nigeria, said talk of the possible need of a further 500,000-barrel cut was "in line with my own thinking," Dow Jones Newswires reported.

OPEC price hawks such as Nigeria and Venezuela have strongly advocated a cartel-wide production cut since the start of the month.

But without public support from Saudi Arabia, the market took with a grain of salt the likelihood of any cuts.

In Tokyo, Japanese Finance Minister Koji Omi said Friday that higher crude oil prices because of the production cuts wouldn't be desirable.

"Crude oil has been fairly stable around $60 dollars a barrel. It wouldn't be desirable if the effect of (the output cut) was negative from the standpoint of current prices," he told a regular press conference.

Voll der Psycho!

Strategie erzeugt Macht und Reichtum aber oftmals geistige Armut!

 

Prinzipiell geb ich dir Recht mit dem Öl - aber die Ankündigung war schon seit ein paar Tagen da. Wenn ich tippen sollte, tippe ich auf ne Range zwischen 55 & 65 $. Dazwischen  könnte(!!) man uU spielen.

Unter 55 wollen die Scheiks das Barrel nciht mehr fallen lassen, hab ich (auf Bloomberg?) gehört. "Vorher" wrden sie wohl die Förderung eher nochmal drosseln...
