Motorola Gewinne laufen lassen
M.M.Warburg & CO


Wenn man inmitten dieser Nasdaq-Baisse mit Motorola (WKN 853936) schon einmal einen Einzelwert „erwischt“ hat, der seit der Empfehlung Anfang Dezember in konsequenter Art und Weise relative Stärke geg. dem Index gewonnen und ausgebaut hat, dann gilt es natürlich erst recht in der seit gestern deutlich wahrscheinlicher gewordenen Bear-Market-Rallye (von markttechnischen Trendwendeindizien ist im Nasdaq-Comp. erst oberhalb der Marken von 3026/3042 zu sprechen), an der Position festzuhalten, so die Einschätzung des technischen Analysten Holger Struck von M.M. Warburg.

Nach 36% Kursgewinn bei einem seit der Empfehlung um 5% rückläufigen NASDAQ treffe Motorola nunmehr auf den bei 25 US-$ beginnenden Widerstandsbereich. Auch wenn die Formation seit dem Durchbruch durch die steile Abwärtstrendlinie vom September des letzten Jahres mehr und mehr nach einer erfolgreich abgeschlossenen und dementsprechend fortzusetzenden W-Bodenbildung anmutet, werde letztlich auch der flachere Trendgeradenverlauf weiteren, schnellen Avancen wohl den Weg (vorerst) versperren.

Der Blick auf die Indikatorenkonstellation zeige dabei lediglich bezüglich der (oft frühindikativ anspringenden) Relative-Stärke-Studien einigen Konsolidierungsbedarf, so daß letztlich bezüglich weiter steigender Kurse (zunächst) Richtung 30 US-$ gelte: Aufgeschoben ist nicht aufgehoben. Die angenehme Übung für den Anleger bestehe dieser Tage also lediglich darin, den Stop auf 20 US-$ hochzusetzen, damit in jedem Fall Gewinne übrig bleiben würden.


@Motorola mit CMOS-Bildsensor



Nun bietet auch Motorola einen Bildsensor-Chip in CMOS-Technologie an. Das neue Produkt hat eine geometrische Auflösung von 1,3 Millionen Bildpunkten und zielt auf den Markt für digitale Still-Kameras und Video-Systeme.

Das Bauteil enthält analoge und digitale Schaltkreise, um es als kosteneffektive „Camera-on-a-Chip“ anzubieten. Die Photo-Dioden-Technologie ist in Zusammenarbeit mit Kodak entstanden. Bei einer Pixelfläche von 36 Micron wird bei einer Bildwiederholrate von 10 Frames pro Sekunde eine Lichtempfindlichkeit von 3 Lux erreicht. Das Bauteil ist noch in diesem Monat verfügbar und soll bei 10.000-er Stückzahlen etwa 22 $ kosten.

Es kann erwartet werden, dass Motorola künftig weitere Sensorprodukte, basierend auf der vorhandenen Technologie, speziell für den Einsatz in Handys der nächsten Generation ausgestalten wird.
