Chartanalyse (die als Entscheidungshilfe, keinesfalls jedoch als Empfehlung dienen sollte!)




1) Widerstands- bzw. Unterstützungslinien

Der Chart von Phone.com ist ein typisches Beispiel für ein „Banded Support and Resistance“, bei dem der Kurs über eine längere Zeit zwischen zwei Linien „oszilliert“. Hier sind es die Unterstützungslinie bei ca 100$ und die Widerstandslinie bei ca. 140$, die seit Mitte Dezember 1999 den Kursverlauf prägen.
Der Unterstützungsverlauf erhöht sich (hier als Linie 1 eingezeichnet) bei jeder Schwingung ein wenig, zuletzt lag die kurzfristige Unterstützung bei ca. 115$. Am Freitag (18.02.2000) lag der Kurs bei 137,625$ , nachdem er bei einem NASDAQ von –3% trotzdem mit +5,92% schliessen konnte.

2) MACD, Stochastik und das Momentum

Der Indikator der Stochastik bewegt sich seit einigen Tagen in Richtung „oversold“ und befindet sich derzeit bei ca.80. In den letzten Versuchen, die Grenze von 140$ zu überwinden, drehte die Stochastik jedes Mal bei dieser Marke.
Das Momentum bewegt sich jedoch seit ca. 3 Tagen überproportional im postitven Bereich (untere dünne schwarze Linie) und könnte bei gleichbleibender Steigung durchaus einen Schub über die Widerstandslinie ermöglichen.
Ein weiteres sehr gutes Indiz für einen Kursausbruch liefern die MACD-Linien. Nachdem Anfang Februar ein positiver Trend (Trend+) eingeläutet wurde, bestätigte sich dieser vor zwei Tagen abermals. Ferner befinden sich nun beide MACD-Kurven über der Null-Linie, d.h. der Trend wird stärker.

Die Summe der Indikatoren und die positiven Anzeichen dahinter sollten in diesem Anlauf (meiner Meinung nach) ein Durchbrechen der bisher zu starken Widerstandslinie ermöglichen. Die nächste Barriere wäre dann die 170$-Linie. Gute Parallelen zum Chart von Phone.com finden sich auch im Kursverlauf von Entrust Technologies Inc. ( ENTU / 915989 ).

Ich denke auch, daß Phone.com die beste Anlage ist, um langfristig vom drahtlosen Internetzugang zu profitieren. Ich werde bei Einsetzten eines neuen Aufwärtstrendes bei PHCM einige Positionen verkleinern um Liquidität für PHCM freizumachen. Kannst du mir sagen, ob die Phone.com Software auch kompatibel mit dem neunen UMTS-Standard ist, der in ca. 2 Jahren Handy`s einen Internethochgeschwindigkeitszugang ermöglichen soll? Oder kann es passieren, daß ein anderes Start-Up einen neuen Standard für UMTS setzt und Phone.com verdrängt? Wenn ich es richtig kapiert habe, entwickelt PHCM die Software für Server von Telcos, ISP`s oder Content-Anbietern, müßte doch dann eigentlich vom áktuellem Handystandard unabhängig sein, oder habe ich da ein Denkproblem?

Hallo an alle,

Oracle, Motorola in wireless Net partnership
By Bloomberg News
Special to CNET News.com
February 22, 2000, 7:40 a.m. PT

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--Database software maker Oracle plans to form an independent company to develop wireless Internet access technology and will unveil a partnership today with Motorola, the companies said.

Motorola will be one of the companies making the cell phones and other devices that use the wireless technology, said Motorola spokesman David Rudd. The new company will use Oracle`s software with Motorola`s voice-command recognition technology, he said.

Sprint`s wireless unit uses technology developed by Phone.com that allows consumers to access the Internet from cell phones. Nextel Communications last May received $600 million from Microsoft to help develop an online service.

Local phone firm Bell Atlantic said in November it would also offer Internet access to digital wireless customers.

Investors are betting on the growth of that market. Phone.com shares are up almost 17-fold since the company first sold shares to the public in June.

Ad PHCM:

Derzeit liegt der Kurs bei 136,37$(-0,91%), d.h. der Ausbruch über die 140$-Linie ist heute nicht geglückt.
Dafür kommen meiner Meinung nach zwei Gründe in Frage:

- derzeit liegt der NASDAQ mit 1,8% im Minus
- die Linie ist für diesen Anlauf doch zu stark und die Aktie muss noch eine "Schwingung" vollziehen.

Hallo an alle,

Schön, PHCM ist über die Widerstanslinie von 140$ deutlich ausgebrochen. Der Schlusskurs lag bei 147$ (+7,45%), dadurch wird die bisherige Widerstandslinie zur Unterstützungslinie und sollte als Bestätigung des Ausbruches auch gehalten werden. (Der Kursverlauf ähnelt dem Chart von Entrust Technologies (ENTU) immer mehr). Der Kurs wird meiner Einschätzung nach in den nächsten Tagen zwischen 140$-170$ pendeln.

News:

Oracle on Tuesday formed a subsidiary called OracleMobile.

"There are about 50 million wireless Internet phones in the world," said Oracle Chief Executive Larry Ellison. "That`s going to a billion in very short order." Within a few years, Ellison says the majority of people will access the Internet over phones, hand-held computers and what the company calls "Internet devices," instead of personal computers.

While OracleMobile will compete with Phone.com, a leading wireless Net infrastructure company, the OracleMobile product will serve to "bring the wireless Net market to a higher profile," said Pete Peterson, a wireless analyst at Prudential Volpe Technology Group.

Shares of Phone.com (PHCM: news, msgs) ran up 10 3/16, or 7 percent, to 147. Phone.com makes software that enables content on the Web to be viewed on a tiny wireless device. "Phone.com is the investment vehicle that you can use today," said Peterson.

warum ist denn PHCM heute so nach unten gegangen? Bin gespannt, ob die 140 hält! sunstock

[Lindwurm]

Hallo an alle,

Phone.com hat den positiven Trend deutlich fortgesetzt, Schlusskurs am 25.02.00 mit 153$, +6,07%, und befindet sich nun auf dem Weg zur Widerstandslinie bei ca.170$.
Meiner Meinung nach wird der Kurs in den nächsten Tagen um die 150$ pendeln (da die Stochastik im "oversold-Bereich" ist) und danach in Richtung der 170$-Linie steigen. (Sofern der NASDAQ sich nicht vom DOW mitreissen lässt).

Noch ein paar News:

MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC AND PHONE.COM ANNOUNCE WAP INTEROPERABILITY TESTING
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2000 9:00 AM
- PRNewswire

PARIS, and REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb 24, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Mitsubishi Electric, one of the world`s leading manufacturers of mobile handsets, and Phone.com, Inc., a leading provider of mobile Internet software and services, announced today that they have initiated a project to verify the interoperability between their products. Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) interoperability tests will be conducted between Phone.com(TM)`s UP.Link(TM) Server and Trium`s Geo-@ (WAP) from Mitsubishi Electric France.

The intent of these tests is to enhance the compatibility of the two companies` WAP-based products and services, ensuring that they will operate together independent of the manufacturer. The tests are an important step for both companies in further establishing WAP as a truly global standard for mobile data communication. Phone.com has been undertaking interoperability testing for WAP-compatible products and services with several vendors, and offers its test facility to WAP product developers, vendors, and operators in an effort to reduce interoperability testing time.

Mr. Yamanaka, president director general of MEF, said, "We are delighted to be working with Phone.com on this project. By providing a connection to the Internet through a mobile phone, we will empower end-users with a handset that offers an easy solution to everyday life. Our first WAP product, the Geo-@ (WAP), is both an advanced information gathering tool and an essential accessory for consumers and business users."

"Interoperability is an important step to effective WAP deployment in the mass market," said Jeff Damir, vice president of business development for Phone.com. "As one of the co-founders of the WAP Forum, we are committed to ensuring maximum interoperability for all suppliers of WAP equipment."


iEntertainment Network Launches Wireless Games Subsidiary
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2000 10:07 PM
- BusinessWire


Allies With Phone.com iEntertainment Network (Nasdaq:IENT), a leading provider of online games and communities, announced today that it has created a subsidiary to focus on the emerging wireless games industry.

The wholly owned subsidiary, iWireless Games, Inc., will seek to enable iEntertainment Network`s award-winning Internet content for hand-held devices and wireless customers around the world.

The iWireless Games initiative will be led by telecommunications executive John Voorhees. During the last decade, John has held management positions of increasing responsibility at MCI Telecommunications, Inc., American Mobile Satellite Corporation and ReadyCom, Inc. "My mandate for the new venture is clear," said Voorhees. "Leverage and license our Internet content for major wireless protocols including WAP (Wireless Application Protocol), explore joint ventures, and pursue actionable alliances."

The Phone.com Alliance Program has two aims: to promote the concept of wireless information access, and to coordinate the exchange of ideas and information among Alliances Program members, other companies developing wireless Internet products and services, and Phone.com`s network operators. iEntertainment joins a growing list of alliances that includes content providers, application developers, tools providers and systems integrators using the Phone.com product family. For more information about Phone.com, please visit their Web site at http://www.phone.com.

WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) empowers mobile users of wireless devices to easily access live interactive information services and applications from the screens of mobile phones. Services and applications include email, entertainment content, weather updates, news, sports and traffic alerts, information services, electronic commerce transactions and banking services, as well as online address book and directory services. In a recent Upside.com article, Strategy Analytics noted that from 1999 to 2003 more than 525 million WAP handsets will be shipped across the United States and Western Europe. Last month, Nokia predicted that by the end of 2003, mobile phones with Internet connections will surpass the number of personal computers linked to the World Wide Web.

News February 29, 16:23 Eastern Time

Phone.com introduces the first WAP-based system for over-the-air provisioning of wireless handsets; Phone.com Mobile Management Server (MMS) provides a one-stop provisioning center for WAP handsets, gateways and applications

FEB 29, 2000, M2 Communications - NEW ORLEANS, CTIA Wireless 2000 -- Phone.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: PHCM), a leading provider of WAP-based mobile Internet software and services, today introduced the Mobile Management Server (MMS) 1.0, the first WAP-based system for over-the-air provisioning of wireless handsets.

Wireless network operators can use MMS to securely provision their WAP gateways, applications, and handsets across multiple airlink standards including GSM, CDMA, TDMA, and PDC. MMS utilizes WAP`s WTLS secure protocol to communicate with the handset, and implements a Trusted Provisioning Domain mechanism to authenticate the MMS to the handset.

MMS enables network operators to remotely alter the specific software settings and configurations of handsets after they have been sold. With this feature, operators gain the flexibility to make updates to key business parameters in the handset. For example, in CDMA networks, operators can update roaming lists that define which networks to use when a handset is operating outside of its home network. With this feature, operators have more flexibility to
establish new roaming agreements and update their handsets in real-time to take advantage of better roaming rates.
