Stock bargain hunting

"The market's had a good run near the
highs and with earnings season about halfway through, we characterize
the results so far as being lackluster to just OK," said Cam Albright,
director of asset allocation at Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors.
"As the year progresses, we're expecting the economy to start coming out
of some of the doldrums from the fiscal impediments from earlier in the
year—so we're expecting a better second half and that should help
support the market and provide us with the basis to have prices move
forward."

On the economic front, consumer sentiment rose to its highest level in six years, with the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's final reading on the overall index climbing to 85.1 in July from 84.1 in June. Economists surveyed by Reuters expected a reading of 84.
"This high level of confidence points toward a continued expansion of consumer spending in the year ahead," survey director Richard Curtin said in a statement.
But investors initially shrugged off the positive report, with the Dow plunging nearly 150 points soon after the report.
Investors also hesitated to jump in ahead of next week's Federal Reserve's meeting and the widely-followed non-farm payrolls report.
"With the Fed meeting and non-farm payrolls due next week, there will be plenty of news to move the market in the week ahead," said Rebecca O'Keeffe, head of investment at Interactive Investor. "U.S. data has been more mixed in recent weeks, suggesting that next Friday's employment report may not be as good as recent months, in part because the housing market does look to have softened in light of higher interest rates."
Meanwhile, President Obama will not announce a decision about who will lead the Federal Reserve until the fall, according to a White House official. Current Chairman Ben Bernanke's term expires next January.

The market's make or break week
The FMHR traders turn their
attention to next week, the most critical time for the recent rally.
CNBC's Steve Liesman joins to discuss the Fed meeting and economic data
including ADP and GDP. The traders weigh in on Starbucks and Facebook
after earnings.
Among earnings, Amazon.com
declined after the Internet retail giant reported an unexpected loss
and issued a cautious current-quarter forecast as it continues to invest
in new areas like cloud computing services. At least three brokerages
raised their price targets on the company.
Starbucks rallied after the coffeehouse chain topped earnings expectations and also forecast current-quarter profit above Street consensus. The company also boosted its full-year guidance as its new menu offerings helped drive customer traffic. At least two brokerages lifted their price targets on the company.
Zynga plunged more than 20 percent after the social video game maker handed in current-quarter guidance that widely missed forecasts. In addition, the company said it has decided not to pursue a license for real money gambling in the U.S. At least two brokerages slashed their price targets on the firm.
Expedia dropped sharply after the travel website posted quarterly results that disappointed analysts. At least two brokerages lowered their price targets on the firm.
No major earnings are on tap after the closing bell.
More than 50 percent of S&P 500 companies have reported results so far this quarter, with 68 percent of firms topping earnings expectations and 56 percent beating revenue estimates, according to data from Thomson Reuters. If all remaining companies report earnings in line with estimates, earnings will be up 4.1 percent from last year's second quarter.
Activision Blizzard surged after the videogame publisher said it will buy back nearly $8.2 billion worth of Vivendi's holding in the company.
Japan's Nikkei tumbled to its lowest level in nearly three weeks, as the yen strengthened against the dollar, following an inflation report.
"They looked good with the headline number, but when you dig down and take energy out, they were deflationary again," said Art Cashin, director of floor operations at UBS Financial Services. "That spooked the Japanese market and the yen spiked against the dollar."
