Back to Where We Were 25 Hours Ago

October 16, 2008

Hickey and Walters (Bespoke) submit:

With a 9% intraday positive reversal off the lows, one would think there would be a little more excitement in the market.  However, when that reversal only takes us to where we were an hour before yesterday’s close, it’s understandable why investors aren’t too excited.  This is really a market where you can miss a 500 point move in a walk to the water cooler.

Market Stages A Follow-Through Day But The Lack Of Leadership And Nice Charts Suggest It Will Fail

October 16, 2008

Today might have been a follow-through day but the fact that ZERO nice charts and ZERO nice CANSLIM stocks exist tell me that this is not a FTD I have to worry about being left behind. Also, take in to consideration I had ZERO full covers out of my shorts and there is a lot of problems to be worried about if you are a perma-bull in a bear market.

Full commentary and YouTube video before 6 AM EST…LIKE ALWAYS!!

Fear of Depression vs. Fear of Missing the Rally

October 16, 2008

The Sovereign Society submits:

By Karl Weber

The Great Depression vocabulary is growing by the day. Indeed, some of the similarities are uncanny. Excessive credit arrangements in mortgage markets were arguably the prime cause for the Great Depression of the early 1930s. At the time, general debt levels had risen sharply.

Market Slide: Giving It a Positive Spin

October 16, 2008

Toro submits:

It is difficult to put a positive spin on Wednesday’s market, but I will try. Volume on the NYSE Composite was 6.2 billion, the third lowest volume day of October and the lowest since October 2.  A low volume re-test of the previous lows is positive, as long as the lows hold.

The lows may not hold.  What is amazing is that the market cannot solidify any gains. The news that the government is going to take a stake in banks is good, at least for the market, or at least it should be - the market does not care.

Mark-to-Market Accounting Makes Speculators of Us All - And That’s Bad

October 16, 2008

Vernon Hill submits:

I recently had the pleasure of doing a joint interview with Jack Bogle, the legendary founder of Vanguard Funds. Jack reminded me of his belief that the U.S. has become a country of speculators rather than investors, and that this change was one of the causes of the current malaise.

I agree with Jack. In the financial markets, the traditional investment mentality has been replaced by a speculative one. While investors’ goal is to realize the value of their holdings over the long term, speculators believe everything can be instantly priced. Nothing has intrinsic value, and the object is the transaction itself.
