The Smallcap Newsletter QualityStocks Report 5/22/07

Welcome to The Daily Stock Report brought to you by Quality Stocks.Net where performance tracked daily.

 

After seven long years, which included a 2 1/2-year period from March 2000 to October 2002 that saw nearly 50% of the broader market's value evaporate, the S&P 500 finally eclipsed its record closing high intraday.

 

Unfortunately for the bulls, a growing sense that stocks are overbought at current levels resurfaced late in the day in the form of a sell program to take most of the steam out of what was initially shaping up to be a momentous day for equities.

 

Stocks opened with little fanfare but inched their way higher for most of the session as investors embraced another round of healthy M&A activity. The biggest news came from Alltel which agreed to be taken private for $27.5 bln.  The acquisition played into our Overweight rating on the Telecom sector.

 

General Electric meanwhile, confirmed the sale of its plastics division for $11.6 bln.

However, speculation surrounding GE's divestiture that surfaced last week, and Alltel being rumored for several months as a takeover target, didn't exactly provide investors with overwhelming evidence to build on seven straight weeks of gains for the Dow and S&P 500.

 

From an industry leadership standpoint, Energy paced the way for a third consecutive session; but that was due largely to a rally in oil prices. Crude for June delivery surged 2.1% to $66.27/bbl, its highest level this month, which left investors questioning the impact of higher energy prices on the consume.

 

Of the remaining six sectors finishing higher, Technology was the only other area staging a notable advance, which was also evident in the Nasdaq noticeably outperforming its blue-chip counterparts.

 

The tech-heavy Composite's year-to-date advance was just 5.9% as of Friday's close, lagging year-to-date gains of 8.8% and 7.4%, respectively, for the Dow and S&P 500.
