Schaeffer's Market Blog for Tuesday, June 20, 2006:

Below are just a few of today's Market Blog entries. Click here to read all of today's Market Blog. http://www.schaeffersresearch.com/redirect.aspx?CODE=PROB1C&PAGE=1 .

10:31 AM FactSet All Set

Top dog on the New York Stock Exchange this morning is FactSet Research Systems (NYSE:FDS), thanks to third-quarter results announced before the bell. As if to demonstrate that knowledge is power, the vendor of financial data revealed that earnings rose 7.6 percent, boosted by growth in subscriptions. Earnings came in at $21 million, or 41 cents per share, up from $19.6 million, or 39 cents per share, in the year-earlier period. The Thomson First Call consensus estimate was 39 cents per share. FDS gapped higher this morning on strong volume to hit an all-time high. At last check, the stock was more than nine percent higher at $46.95.

11:52 AM Dow Could Make a 100-Point Gain Today

At last check, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was up more than 77 points, or 0.71 percent, at 11,019.6, although it is now bumping its head against potential resistance from its declining 20-day moving average. Only five of the 30 components of the DJIA are failing to log gains so far today.

Prudent investors might like to keep volatility in mind, though. Remember that options plays such as a straddle or strangle are particularly useful in a volatile market, because they bank on a strong move without regard to direction.

12:50 PM Juniper Networks Calls

Options in Juniper Networks (NASDAQ:JNPR) are trading briskly today. At last check, 13,008 of the July 14 calls (JUX GP) had changed hands. Since open interest was just 787 contracts before the day's trading began, there's likely to be a significant jump in open interest for this in-the-money contract. I noticed four blocks larger than 1,000 contacts. The first crossed the tape just before 9:55 a.m. Eastern time, but it's unclear whether the contracts were bought or sold. The remaining three blocks crossed at prices closer to the bid price than the ask price, suggesting they were most likely sold.

JNPR has declined for more than a year, and has not closed a week above its 20-week moving average since late November 2005. It is currently under pressure from its 10-week moving average, which has capped attempts at a recovery during the past month.

1:08 PM Flexibility at Lego

Three hundred workers in Connecticut and a further 900 in Denmark are to lose their jobs as privately held Lego moves production to Mexico and the Czech Republic. Yahoo! reports that Lego's headquarters in Billund, 160 miles west of Copenhagen, presently has a staff of 3,000.

If Lego is a private firm, why is this news of interest? Because production of the basic Lego bricks will be handled by Flextronics International (NASDAQ:FLEX), a Singapore-based electronics manufacturer, which is listed on the Nasdaq. FLEX operates factories in Mexico and in eastern Europe, and will take over Lego's factory in the Czech Republic from August 1.

From a technical perspective, FLEX broke above its declining 10-day moving average today, but it still faces a potential struggle at its 20-day trendline. At last check, the stock was up 3.85 percent at $10.51.

1:47 PM Calls Trading Actively on General Electric

General Electric (NYSE:GE) has been getting a surprising amount of call option activity for a stock that does as little as this one. Calls traded actively yesterday, outnumbering puts by a ratio of four-to-one, and they're trading actively again today at a ratio of five calls to every one put. Assuming this is buyer-initiated activity, the increase in optimism could spell trouble for GE shares given their weak performance.

3:33 PM Oil Services Sector Lags Again

The bulls are trying to push things higher into the close, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) now up 60 points and the SPX up three points. Still, volume was very light yesterday and it's going to be light once again today. Looking at the lagging sectors, oil services is all over it, as the Oil Services HOLDRS Trust (AMEX:OIH) is down 1.70 percent. Interestingly, the Select Sector SPDR Energy Fund (XLE) is actually at breakeven, while crude finished down four cents to $68.94 a barrel.
