WMT

WMT is reaching an area in which could be worth to take a look. The stock market is very oversold, and may be WMT is a good opportunity to play the rebound if this one finally arrives. Notice how the 38.2% fibonacci retracement from the September 2008 highs coincides with the 50% fibonacci retracement from the March 2010 highs.

But WMT it is not interesting solely based on it charts. The fundamentals are good too.

Some:

- The sales of this giant had been increasing since 2008, the subprime crisis does not push them into negative zone. They have increased 7.8% between 2008 and 2010 (3.9% annual growth). In this same term, the EPS is up 9%.
- The current divindend yield after taxes is 1.4%, with an average divindend growth in the last 3 years of 5.9%. This give us a discounted cash flow of 37 USD (one of the highest in the DOW JONES) with an 8% risk rate and 6.42% using CAPM (0.25 beta and 3.73% risk free rate)

Two weeks later, the market clear all the doubts and apparent contradictions in the gold, treasury and stock market. This are the answers:

Some projections: I am not trying to predict the future, I am only considering some probables scenarios since the break of the channel. 

European and american indexes

Continuing with the previous posts on the european markets, lets see some interesting coincidences and patterns.

The S & P 500 in euro: 61.8% reached, and uptrending. Look the RSI.

The DAX in US Dollar. Same fibonacci retracement reached... but downtrending.

Finally, look the weak recovery in the Athens market, in which it only reached the 38.2% fibonacci retracement:

We should wait for the week to finish, but the we can reach preliminary conclusions.
First, the american index is uptrending, and we can see a "flight to american securities", not only treasuries. The american stock market is resisting the european crisis.... but will it make it?

The Greece market is in free-falling, (obvious), and we can expect to reach the March 2009 lows. Then, a 10% correction in ATG and 7/8% in the DAX is likely to occur in the next weeks.

Finally, the DAX and the S & P had the same resistances in different currencies (the 61.8% fibo). Quite interesting.
