I’ll be the first to admit that I am sometimes guilty of oversimplifying the commodities world by lumping all commodities together for the purpose of making broad comparisons between equities and commodities. When I break out a particular commodity, it is usually crude oil or gold. I…

- Dell (NASDAQ:DELL): Downgraded to Sell at Cross Research
-
- According to the firm while DELL reported F1Q09 EPS upside driven by higher revenue and aided by lower share count ($0.03 benefit), gross margins were down (83 bps y/y), despite a favorable component pricing environment, contributing to a 73 bps y/y decline in operating margin. Dell reported unit share gains (total units up 22%) in all geographies, driven they believe by aggressive pricing and at the expense of margin. Assuming component pricing increases somewhat (as most companies are now expecting) and emerging markets sales continue to increase, the firm believes gross margin will be difficult to maintain/or improve….

- Yawning About Oil
-
Maybe it’s just us, but markets seem really boring and indecisive this week. There’s not much to talk about unless you want to talk oil or bonds. We’re beyond sick of hearing and talking about oil (though we’re dipping a toe into some short positions here), and although bonds are always more exciting than people give them credit for (we’re still in love with munis this year), well, meh.

- Support Holds At SPY 138 - Keep Option Trades Small
-
As expected, the market has been very quiet during this holiday shortened week. Yesterday, durable goods came in slightly better than expected, but that did little to excite the market. This morning, the GDP was revised upward to .9% from .6% and the closely watched PCE deflator declined from 2.2% to 2.1%. While the PCE deflator is the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, it does not include food and energy. This economic news gave the market a lift on the open. Initial jobless claims came in at 372,000 and the number was in line with expectations. The continuing claims stayed above 3 …

You’d think the rising cost of oil and the big returns the related exchange traded funds (ETFs) have been dishing out year-to-date would have led to bigger efforts to look for more of the stuff. But it isn’t the case.
