Daily Video Update: The market remains subdued on upbeat news

Hello traders everywhere! Jeremy Lutz with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 12th of October.

Stocks have moved mostly lower over today despite a higher open this morning. Selling pressure has remained subdued, however, contributing to choppy trading on Wall Street.

The major averages have climbed off their worst levels in recent trading but remain in the red. This downturn came despite the release of an upbeat report on U.S. consumer sentiment in the month of October.

Thomson Reuters and the University of Michigan said that the preliminary reading on their consumer sentiment index for October came in at 83.1 compared to the final September reading of 78.3.

With the significant monthly increase, the consumer sentiment index rose to its highest level since September of 2007.

"Breaking Up Is Hard To Do."

Start your MarketClub $8.95, 30 day trial and backtest any US or Canadian stock symbol.

Yes Hewlett-Packard, "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do." But, UBS analyst Steven Milunovich thinks it may be your only hope to get stock prices back up.

With a 44.8 percent loss for the year, NYSE:HPQ is struggling with management and failing division of their company.

The company's current position is maintaining "One HP", with the belief that the company is stronger together, rather than apart. Whether "prompted by activists or private equity", HP may need to reconsider that stance, according to UBS.

Milunovich explained that some parts of the business are dragging down the better ones. So by cutting those anchor ties, the company's stock may still be able to float. Milunovich estimated the value of the company's parts could be over $20 a share, versus the current $14.27.

Regardless if Hewlett-Packard decides to break up and sell off failing entities, MarketClub members aren't too worried. After all, they are sitting on a nice profit year-to-date using the Trade Triangle technology.

The short video above will demonstrate that with a $10K investment in HPQ share, MarketClub members walked away with an additional $4,464.62 in their pockets. Watch this video above.
