Un hombre de 26 anios: Mohamed Bouazizi trato de vender verduras en la calle de su alrea rural sin licencia. La policia le quito sus verdudas, Bouazizi se mato en protesta. Las noticias de su suicidio se expandieron rapidamente via Facebook.

Revolt in Tunisia
An Arab strongman falls in North Africa

An oft-forgotten truth about dictatorships is how unassailable they appear—right up to the moment they fall. An example is unfolding in Tunisia, where strongman Zine el Abidine Ben Ali appeared to have fled the country late yesterday after a month of protests across the North African nation.

The unrest started in mid-December, when unemployed 26-year-old Tunisian Mohamed Bouazizi tried to sell vegetables on the streets of his rural village without a license. After police confiscated his produce, Bouazizi immolated himself in protest. News of his suicide spread quickly, mostly via Facebook, a social-networking site that the government hadn't banned.

As often happens in authoritarian regimes, the event became a pretext for demonstrations against the corruption and economic and social controls that marked Mr. Ben Ali's 23-year rule. The government first attempted to crack down, arresting hundreds and killing dozens.

But the demonstrations grew, and by yesterday the 74-year-old Mr. Ben Ali had shifted to appeasement by lifting restrictions on the media, calling for elections within six months and ordering troops not to use live ammunition. It was too late. By last night he had declared a state of emergency before fleeing to Saudi Arabia.


Demonstrators in Tunisia on Friday
.What Tunisians will get next is anybody's guess. The protesters say they want democratic rule and an end to the corruption of the old regime. This is a hopeful portent, but the vacuum of legitimacy remains. In a Friday statement Prime Minister Ghannouchi cited constitutional provisions that stipulate a president who is temporarily unable to conduct his duties should delegate them to the prime minister. Mr. Ghannouchi's claim on power may be challenged, especially if he doesn't move toward new elections.

Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has also lent its support to Mr. Ben Ali's overthrow. Its leader, Abu Musab Abdul Wadud, is urging demonstrators to "send their sons to us to receive training with weapons and to gain military experience." Al Qaeda and other extremist groups don't enjoy broad support in Tunisia, but they are disciplined and organized. History is full of liberal revolutions that were hijacked by new dictators. See Lenin, V.I., and Iran after the Shah.

In a timely warning, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton exhorted Arab leaders in Doha on Thursday to reform lest others "fill the vacuum." She said "extremist elements, terrorist groups, and others who would prey on desperation and poverty are already out there, appealing for allegiance and competing for influence."

The U.S. and Europe have long supported Arab dictators on grounds that the only alternative is radical Islam. For a time, President George W. Bush offered a third way with his freedom agenda, but that was undercut by his State Department, the rise of Hamas and the hard slog in Iraq. Mrs. Clinton's remarks show that perhaps she understands Mr. Bush's point, and the trouble in Tunisia certainly bears them out. In Tunis and elsewhere in Arabia, the West needs to support alternatives to dynastic strongman rule or Islamism.

Euro Falls on Bailout Debate; U.S. Futures Drop as Apple's CEO Takes Leave

Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) --- The euro fell, snapping a five-day rally against the dollar, and Spanish bonds dropped as the region’s ministers debated a bailout plan. U.S. stock futures declined as Apple Inc. said Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs is taking a medical leave of absence.

The euro depreciated 0.7 percent to $1.3291 at 10:17 a.m. in New York and the Stoxx Europe 600 Index of stocks was little changed. Futures on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, of which Apple is the second-biggest member, lost 0.5 percent. The Shanghai Composite Index tumbled 3 percent, leading Asian shares lower, on concern China’s anti-inflation measures will curb growth. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined 0.4 percent. U.S. markets are closed today for a public holiday.

Finance chiefs are due to meet in Brussels today to discuss a revamped debt-crisis strategy with Germany easing its opposition to an expanded arsenal. European Central Bank council member Athanasios Orphanides said the bank may be able to stop buying government bonds if Europe’s rescue fund is allowed to purchase debt. Chinese President Hu Jintao, who is set to meet President Barack Obama in Washington tomorrow, rejected U.S. arguments that it needs a stronger yuan.

“There’s plenty of reasons to be circumspect on the euro after the rally last week,” said Jeremy Stretch, executive director of foreign-exchange strategy at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in London.

All Eyes on Apple

Exchanges were closed in New York for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. Nasdaq-100 Index futures expiring in March sank 1.2 percent in electronic trading. Apple makes up about 21 percent of the Nasdaq-100, a gauge of the largest companies that trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The index closed last week at its highest level since February 2001, while the S&P 500 ended at the highest level since August 2008.

Apple Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook will be responsible for the Cupertino, California-based company’s day-to-day operations, with Jobs continuing as CEO, Apple said, citing an e-mail to employees from Jobs. The Apple co-founder took a nearly six-month break to have a liver transplant in 2009.

“Apple shares will obviously be getting hit, as shareholders rightfully command a premium for a CEO like Steve Jobs,” said Dave Lutz, head of ETF trading and strategy at Stifel Nicolaus & Co. in Baltimore. “Any selloff will be used as a buying opportunity, as Steve Jobs has high confidence in Tim Cook, and the two have worked closely defining Apple’s strategy and vision. Last time Jobs had to take time, that proved a huge buying opportunity for the stock.” Lutz said. “I bought then, and will be buying in weakness tomorrow.”

Earnings Season

The trading in futures signaled the S&P 500 may trim last week’s 1.7 percent advance when the market reopens tomorrow. The gauge for U.S. equities climbed for a seventh week, the longest rally since May 2007.

Companies from Citigroup Inc. to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Apple are scheduled to release earnings this week. Analysts estimate that earnings grew 22 percent in the final three months of 2010 and will increase 14 percent in 2011, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News. Out of seven companies in the S&P 500 that have posted results since Jan. 10, six have beaten per- share profit estimates, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

The euro weakened versus all but two of its most-traded counterparts, sliding 1 percent against the yen. The Dollar Index, which tracks the U.S. currency against those of six trading partners, advanced 0.2 percent, rising for the first time in six days. New Zealand’s dollar climbed 1 percent versus the U.S. currency before a government report this week that economists said will show inflation accelerated.

Euro Futures

The December contract used by traders to speculate on where three-month euro rates will be by year-end increased, driving the yield down to 1.66 percent. That’s still up from 1.41 percent two weeks ago after ECB comments on accelerating inflation fueled speculation that borrowing costs will increase.

Spain’s 10-year bonds decreased as the government halted auctions on Jan. 20 in favor of selling debt through banks. Spanish 10-year bond yields rose eight basis points to 5.45 percent. The government canceled auctions of 2020 and 2024 bonds for Jan. 20 and will instead sell debt due April 2021 through banks, according to two people with knowledge of the sale.

The cost of insuring debt sold by Europe’s so-called peripheral nations rose, snapping four days of declines. Credit- default swaps tied to Spain’s bonds climbed 7 basis points to 301.5, compared with a record-high 364 reached on Nov. 30, while contracts on Portugal rose 16.5 basis points to 485.5, according to CMA. Greece increased 13 basis points to 923 and Italy climbed 6 basis points to 210. Swaps protecting Ireland’s bonds were 10 basis points higher at 631, CMA prices show.

European Markets

Three stocks declined for every two that rose in Europe’s Stoxx 600 as BHP Billiton Ltd. and Rio Tinto led mining companies lower. BP Plc climbed 0.6 percent and OAO Rosneft rallied 5.2 percent after the oil companies agreed to swap equity stakes as part of a drive to extract billions of barrels of Arctic petroleum.

Smiths Group Plc, the world’s biggest maker of airport- security scanners, jumped 7.9 percent after spurning a $3.89 billion approach for its medical-equipment operation from private-equity firm Apax Partners LLP. Smith & Nephew Plc rose 3.7 percent after the Sunday Times said that Johnson & Johnson, the largest maker of health-care products, is considering a new bid for the maker of knee and hip replacements.

Goldman Sachs, Apple

The Shanghai Composite Index tumbled the most in two months after China ordered banks to set aside more reserves last week and rising property prices signaled policy tightening measures may be expanded. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined for a third day. Rosneft led Russia’s Micex Index up 1.4 percent to the highest level on a closing basis since June 2008.

Oil fell to $91.15 a barrel in New York. China is the world’s biggest consumer of energy.

ET.El Tribunal Supremo de España inhabilita al presidente ejecutivo de Banco Santander

MADRID (EFE Dow Jones)--El Tribunal Supremo ha decidido condenar al actual presidente ejecutivo del Banco Santander SA, Alfredo Sáenz, a ocho meses de prisión y una pena de inhabilitación por intento de estafa procesal y acusación falsa contra unos deudores de Banco Español de Crédito SA, de la que fue presidente tras la intervención en 1993.

Fuentes jurídicas dijeron a Efe que la Sala de lo Penal del Tribunal Supremo acordó hace tres semanas endurecer la pena que había impuesto la Audiencia Provincial de Barcelona en diciembre de 2009 a Alfredo Sáenz, entonces condenado a 6 meses de prisión por el delito de acusación y denuncia falsa pero absuelto del de intento de estafa procesal.

La sentencia, que aún no ha sido redactada, se dará a conocer previsiblemente a finales de enero, lo que obligaría a que Alfredo Sáenz cese de forma inmediata como presidente ejecutivo de Santander.

En cambio, el directivo no tendrá que ingresar en prisión, dado que la pena impuesta por el Tribunal Supremo es inferior a los dos años, tal y como adelantó el lunes el periódico El Mundo.

.La deliberación en el seno del Alto Tribunal no ha estado exenta de incidentes, ya que se ha sustituido al magistrado que estaba encargado de redactar la sentencia, José Manuel Maza, después de que hubiera rechazado el fallo y tuviera previsto emitir un voto particular, igual que otro de sus compañeros.

La pena de inhabilitación especial puede ir de tres meses a 20 años, aunque lo normal es que prive al condenado del ejercicio de sus cargos durante el tiempo de la condena.

Banco Santander, en el artículo 24 de su Reglamento del Consejo de Administración, tiene establecido el proceso que se ha de seguir para sustituir a sus máximos responsables o a miembros de su principal órgano de decisión.

El artículo establece que en el supuesto de cese, anuncio de renuncia o dimisión, o bien incapacidad de los miembros del consejo, el presidente del grupo, Emilio Botín, o el vicepresidente de mayor rango convocarán a la comisión de nombramientos y retribuciones.

El origen de esta causa se remonta a 1994, cuando Banesto emprendió una agresiva estrategia de recuperación de créditos dudosos.

Economía peruana crece más de lo esperado noviembre
lunes 17 de nero de 2011 12:11 GYT Imprimir [-] Texto [+]
LIMA (Reuters) - La economía peruana creció un 9,98 por ciento interanual en noviembre, por encima de lo previsto por analistas, impulsada por los sectores de construcción y manufactura, dijo el lunes el Gobierno.

En términos desestacionalizados, la economía local creció un 1,5 por ciento en noviembre frente a octubre, tras haberse contraído un 0,21 por ciento en octubre frente a septiembre.

El dato interanual de noviembre es superior al 9,2 por ciento estimado por analistas en un sondeo de Reuters y al crecimiento del 3,7 por ciento del mismo mes del 2009.

La tasa, además, es la tercera mayor alza mensual del año, gracias a un fuerte dinamismo de la demanda interna, tras el 12,1 por ciento de junio y el 10,4 por ciento de septiembre.

El sector construcción repuntó en noviembre un 23,8 por ciento, mientras que el de manufactura se expandió un 14,4 por ciento.

Entre enero y noviembre, la economía creció un 8,8 por ciento, mientras que los 12 últimos meses a noviembre se expandió un 8,49 por ciento, precisó el Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática (INEI).

Según estimaciones oficiales, la economía peruana se habría expandido cerca del 9 por ciento el año pasado, luego de crecer un 0,9 por ciento en el 2009.

Al IGBVL la veo que esta con indicadores en zona de sobre venta y un sector del mercado es probable que este esperando un rebote, no la descartaría pero de lo que cada vez me convenzo mas es de que el IGBVL ya está en la pauta correctiva.
Claro que el que no sabe que es una pauta correctiva me dirá que estupidez dice ese
Como siempre digo es solo un punto de vista nada mas.

[Victor VE]

Casi pregunto, pero me la aguanté antes de leer el penultimo parrafo...

[El_Diez]

Por eso dije, el que no sabe que es una pauta correctiva no solamente se hará esa pregunta sino miles de preguntas y no encuentra respuesta.

No sabia que se podia filosofar en los análisis técnicos

Aunque no me creas si se puede filosofar de alguna manera aplicando algunas herramientas de A.T, Con mucha anterioridad podemos imaginarnos más o menos hasta que niveles podría llegar el precio de tal acción.
