What does this news article about Ford stock really saying?

Ford Motor (F) Falls As Market Continues Slide
Posted: Thursday, May 20, 2010 10:01 AM EDT

Ford Motor (NYSE: F) opened at .04. So far today, the stock has hit a low of .01 and a high of .26. F is now trading at .22, down {content}.33 (-2.86%). Over the last 52 weeks the stock has ranged from a low of .06 to a high of .57. Shares of F are trading lower this morning as investors continued to push the market lower on fears that the recovery of the global economy could get tripped up by debt troubles in Europe. Technical indicators for the stock are neutral and S&P gives F a neutral 3 STARS (out of 5) hold ranking. If you are looking for a hedged play on F the stock seems like it could be a candidate for a September out-of-the-money bear-call credit spread above the 15 range.

STANDARD ERROR: Linear Regression Trendline?

admin — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 22:17:01 +0000

CAVEAT: I have a limited knowledge of statistics and and am not particularly adept with respect to formulas. Hence, kindly explain using prose if you would.

ISSUE: Using stock trading software by prophet.net, a 64-day Linear Regression Trendline ("LRT") is currently the best fit for a particular stock. The 64-day LRT has an R-squared of .933. Now, the trading software has an indicator called "Standard Error Bands" which allows you, for example, to enter (64,3), (64,2), (64,1) etc. In this example, of course, the indicator plots "standard error band" values ("SE") (3SE, 2SE, 1SE etc.) both above and below the 64-day LRT.

With all this in mind, I have researched how to calculate "standard error" but my results don’t seem to match the trading software. The trading software determines the 64-day LRT by using the CLOSING prices for the last 64-days. Can someone give me a step-by-step on how to calculate the 1SE of the 64-day LRT. ASSUME THAT I ALREADY HAVE THE LRT VALUE–I do.
It’s my understanding that the "Standard Error" is the "Standard Deviation" divided by the square root of the number of samples. I tried taking the Standard Deviation of the Closing Prices over the last 64 days and, alternatively, the Standard Deviation of the 64-day Linear Regression Trendline itself–both of which come out to 3.15 and 3.18 respectively, and then divided both of those numbers by 8, which gives me a value of .39 or so for 1 Standard Error. The software, however, has a value that is much greater–closer to .80.

What is the link between an improving economy and rising govt. bond yields?

admin — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 17:15:21 +0000

Happy Christmas and New year to all.

I’m learning about forex and the book that I am reading (Forex for Dummies) mentions rising 10-year government bond yields as a possible indicator of a currency that may be on the way up in relative value. The logic is that the increase in bond yield indicates a rising economy and therefore a greater possibility of an interest rate increase at some point in the future in order to keep a tab on inflation. Therefore more buying interest in the currency now and a rising relative currency value.

The link that I cannot make is the link between the rising economy and the rising bond yield. Is it because people are dumping bonds and buying stocks instead, thus pushing the bond price down and the relative value of the yield up. Or what?

Thanks.

I’ve always been interested in the foreign exchange markets and I want to learn more before getting into it. The problem is that whenever I come across a book for beginners, the reviews are so conflicting that I don’t want to take the risk of reading it and confusing myself. Are there any books available that is considered to be the standard for currency trading? Ones that don’t favor certain companies and business; just a basic straight-forward introduction on foreign exchange and getting started.

Stock trading method question?

admin — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 22:19:46 +0000

This question is for those familiar with technical charts. In a bull market when selecting a stock, does setting a buy stop price a little above resistance, selecting a stock that’s currently above 30-day moving average and the MA is trending up, and relative strength indicator is also trending up mean that there is a good if not strong possibility that the stock will break out to a new high? Conversely, does a stock that’s broken through support and trending below 30-day moving average usually mean that the stock is more likely than not to fall to new lows? Thanks!
