Wall Street techs - Netegrity, Apple lead mixed tech trading
SAN FRANCISCO (AFX) - Security-software maker Netegrity Inc. and Apple Computer paced gains among tech stocks Wednesday as the sector tried to maintain some positive momentum ahead of the next earnings season.
Netegrity soared $2.75, or more than 35 percent, to $10.50 after Computer Associates said it would buy the Waltham, Mass.-based company for $430 million in order to boost its position in the identification-security market.
Computer Associates shares fell 12 cents to $27.27.
Apple reached another 52-week high of $39.98 as investors bought the stock ahead of its quarterly report next week. First Albany analyst Joel Wagonfeld raised his price target on Apple's stock to $44 a share from $35, saying that the company is gaining more momentum from iPod and new iMac sales.
Even with the gains from Apple and Netegrity, the Nasdaq Composite Index fell 3.5 points to 1,951. Broader market concerns about corporate earnings and the price of oil affected the day's trading.
Among other tech stocks, gains came from Dell Inc. , Microsoft Corp. , EMC Corp. and Cisco Systems .
Decliners included Sun Microsystems , Intel Corp. , Oracle Corp. , Hewlett-Packard and IBM Corp. .

Multi Billion Dollar Music Industry Landscape Redefined
October 4, 2004: 10:14 a.m. EST
FULLERTON, CA (Market Wire) - The music industry has seen some tremendous paradigm shifts in the last few years with the proliferation of digital media. This has brought many benefits to both consumers and industry professionals. The digital music online download market has come to be dominated by Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) commanding a 75 percent share according to Digital Tech Consulting.
DTC senior analyst Antonette Goroch was recently quoted stating that "because of Apple's success with its iTunes Music Store, an avalanche of acquisitions, mergers, new entrants and service relaunches have emerged. The market-share picture will shift dramatically by the end of the year."
The newly emerging market will be redefined as companies such as Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) jump into the online music download business. The company recently opened an online music store, MSN Music, to compete head-to-head against Apple's iTunes music download service. More competition will surface as companies come to terms with the success of Apple's online music business.
The traditional music industry is flourishing as well. Guitar Center, Inc. (NASDAQ: GTRC), the nation's leading retailer of guitars, amplifiers, percussion instruments, keyboards and pro-audio and recording equipment, recently reported that it continues to expect third-quarter earnings to be in the range of 39 cents to 42 cents per share, on sales of $342 million to $352 million.
Just as Apple was due for competition, Guitar Center's national chain is about to experience some of the challenges of free market capitalism. ICrystal, Inc. (OTC BB: ICRI) recently announced that it intends to acquire Fat Katz Music, LLC, a guitar and music retailer based in Baton Rouge, LA. Fat Katz Music currently operates one retail location, with a second location to be opened in the near future. ICrystal management sees the potential in capturing a portion of the market share that Guitar Center commands in the expansive music retail business.
The music industry landscape has encountered some extensive reshaping in the last few years. This has taken place in the transition from traditional environments to that of digital and the online realm. Serious investors should consider these industry players in the emerging music industry.

bem, essa "menina" tá com tudo para corrigir a recente subida. Desde a divergencia no macd histogram, até à situcão sobrecomprada no RSI, passando pela noticias que dizes já estarem incorporadas.
MAS,,, a experiencia tem me ensinado que tudo isto pode nao ser suficiente e ela pode disparar para novos maximos.
Por estas e por outras deixei de encarar a AT dessa forma, olhar para o grafico e seus indicadores e tentar prever o que vai acontecer no futuro.
Mesmo na base das probabilidades a coisa não funciona!!!
