The banks dummied up their earning by trading the market on this enginered recovery by the FED. They reduced their loan losses by not foreclosing on defaulted properties.

The banks have many problems to come. The Fed is leaving the mortgage markets for now and the treasury is selling its warrents on BAC and C stock. Let's be honest the FED and treasury engineered the "recovery". The recovery is in the financial markets only. The real economy is in shambles. The banks were given a repreve in March of last year. They were allowed to trade the markets on the publics money. Those days are coming to an end because the pump only helped the corporations and now the public. In the end the real economy matters and the banks can only lie and cheat so long at some poin...

Financials crisis would be back in 2010... Graphic_rating_buy FAZ

FAZ is a bet on the fact that financials which have enjoyed a "V" shaped bounce in 2009 would again be going down hard.  I think by the middle of 2010 investing community is going to realise that once FED start increasing rates financials would not make much money.  Also, once the "Free" money which FED provided to big financials companies dries up people are going to realise we still have the same financial problems which we had in 2008 which crashed the market.  If I am right I am betting on FAZ to provide solid returns when financials turn negative.

I've been sitting on the sidelines, going in and out intraday because this is probably one of the worst things to hold overnight. I've watched retail traders and investors get their heads handed to them as the big boys have been shorting this instrument of theft down from $220. It's just amazing how Wall St comes up with ideas and people keep thinking they're getting a good deal on a going out of business sale. That being said, I feel the majority of the risk is out of this if you wait another 1-2 weeks but I will establish a FAZ long here at $4.44 knowing the majority of the risk is out...

Today's technical outlook: Back out of the banks Graphic_rating_buy FAZ
+51.01%
in 1153 days

Filed under: ETF Investing, Technical Analysis, S and P 500, Stocks to Buy, Financial Crisis

Today's technical outlookAs the three-day Easter weekend approaches, volume is declining as both traders and investors shy away from a market that is fraught with uncertainty.

Not only are the Q1 earnings in doubt, but longer-term economic analysis by the ChangeWave team indicates that we can expect to see a trading range of 700 to 900 on the S&P 500 for at least several months. And this is supported by my own technical analysis.

(closed on 04/07/09)

The FASB will be making an announcement on Thursday around the market open regarding a change in accounting rules regarding valuing the toxic loans on banks balance sheets.  If they either rescind or change this rule, we should see the banks and financial stocks advance. 

This new rule will be effective for the first quarter 2009 reporting.  So the effect will be immediate and be reflected in their quarterly financial reporting which will be occuring over the next 4 weeks

The investment seeks to replicate, net of expenses, 300% of the inverse daily performance of the Russell 1000 Financial Services Index The fund will invest at least 80% of assets in securities that comprise the index. It will also utilize financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged and unleveraged exposure to the index. The fund is nondiversified.

Financials Short Term Rally! Graphic_rating_sell FAZ

Yesterday, I posted the following analysis:

The financial sector appears to have bottomed over the last couple of days.  House hearings on Mark to Market accounting are scheduled for Thursday.  If there is any hint of suspension or repeal of Mark to Market accounting will send the financial sector into a nice short-term rally.  If they reinstated the uptick rule that would be icing on the cake.  The only negative is that the Treasury Secretary is scheduled to appear before Congress and anytime he speaks it seems to trigger a negative response in the markets.

(closed on 02/24/09)
FAZ seeks to increase the magnitude of a decline in financial stocks by the tune of 3 to 1. When you pick up these shares be ready for the crazy ride you will be on. On any given day this ETF can fluctuate from a difference of over 10 points from the high and low prices of the day! With the  banks desparate for the release of the second half of the 700 Billion dollar TARP fund this could continue to fuel FAZ's rise. I see one of two scenarios coming down the pipeline:
1. More investments from the government into financials mean more stock dilution; or
2. A program to get rid of the b...
