Stocks are pointing to a slightly lower opening on February 19, but nothing severe. Resistance for the S&P 500 comes in a zone of 2,795 to 2,800.
Nomura downgraded Lululemon Athletica Inc (NASDAQ:LULU) to hold from buy and raised its price target to $157. It seems clear at this point the trend in Lulu has shifted, with an RSI that is now trending lower, and a stock that is nearing a potential breakdown should it fall below $145.
McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD)’s was upgraded at Stephens to overweight from equal weight, while the price target was raised to $200 from $180. Unfortunately, I have never understood the love affair with this stock. It is a company that has shrinking revenue, while it grows its EPS from cost reduction and buy-backs.
If you have read me long enough, you know that I am bearish on McDonald’s. However, I have been wrong for some time, as the stock never breaks below the $155 level.
There appears to be a double forming in the stock, and a break below $170 confirms that double top. The RSI continues to point to a stock that is heading lower over time, not higher.

Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT)'s US comp sales +4.2% vs. estimates of 3.2% and beats on both the top and bottom lines, while reaffirming its fiscal year 2020 outlook. The metric the market loves –-US e-commerce growth of 43%. The stock is rising pre-market by 4% and is rising above resistance at $103. The stock could be nearing a big break out sending the stock on its way back to all-time highs around $110.
Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) is trading slightly lower and continues to appear as if it is heading lower towards $157.
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) should be on watch after investors have had three days to digest those horribly sugar-coated results from last week. A drop below $150 sends the stock back to around $139.
Freeport-McMoran Copper & Gold Inc (NYSE:FCX) is nearing a huge break out which could send the stock higher on towards $13.80.
Jd.Com Inc Adr (NASDAQ:JD) is laying off 10% of its executive workforce. The uptrend in the stock is still firm, and it appears the stock is still on its way to $26.
Blackberry (TO:BB) is nearing a big breakout at $8.70, which could send it on to $9.
