Motorola Inc (NYSE: MOT) On The Edge Says Market Timer Frank Kollar
June 19, 2006 (FinancialWire) (By Frank Kollar)
Shares of Motorola Inc (NYSE: MOT) have been declining along with the rest of the financial markets these past weeks. But while the all the major stock indexes hit new highs in 2006, Motorola has not managed this feat since November 2005. Motorola, a provider of wireless, broadband and automotive communications technologies and embedded electronic products, been hurt by a weak technology sector and shares are now off 19% from those 2005 highs.
On Wednesday of last week, Motorola bounced off the 50% retracement level, at $19.67, of its entire April-November 2005 advance. This is a critical support for Motorola. If shares make a decisive close below $19.67 in the coming days or weeks, Motorola could drop quickly to at least $18.46.
This stock should be avoided and short positions could be considered if support is broken. Fibtimer.com (http://www.fibtimer.com) has listed Motorola as a short position in its Stock Timing Strategy since April 28, 2006.
