Financials Short Term Rally!
SKF

|
+38.95%
in
4 days
(closed on 03/12/09)
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.

Just while everyone's getting bullish on banks, it makes me start to wonder how exactly are the banks going to be earning record earnings. Commercial companies that are defaulting won't get loans, banks will only lend to the most creditworthy company. Consumers are too strapped to borrow more from the previous ten year cycle of borrowing. Moreover, credit availability will decline in an effort to ensure repayment of existing credit, and shortfalls in credit securitization. <> Earnings grow with rising employment, rising incomes, rising creditworthiness.

<> These days it is hard for anyone to be credible when they say they know what is going to happen next. I am no different. I have a view and for now it is working but that doesn't mean it will tomorrow. I am happy to tell everyone what I think and they are free to agree or disagree. My premise is a simple one but it isn't a happy one. So you may sleep better if you just hit the delete key now. <> In my view, the problem we all face is a big one. The US like the rest of the world is over leveraged. As anyone who has ever lost their butts trading stocks on margin knows when tim...

With no signs of relief from the latest round of the ongoing financial crisis and global equity market meltdown this week, the accompanying five-day chart highlights a stock and some funds registering impressive gains in the face of massive losses in former blue chips and mega-cap stocks such as AIG. Thanks to the biggest one-day gain ever for gold today, SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) lead the gainers with an advance exceeding 15% over the last five days. As investors flee to traditional safe havens such as U.S. Treasury Bon...

SKF Turning Bullish With Upside of >=$9

(closed on 09/05/08)
This Stock Is Turning BULLISH, Short-Term
A modest dip to re-test the low made recently is probable. But after that a much larger UP swing is expected. This is a BULLISH quick trade.
Upside Target: >= $126
Time Frame: About One Week Or Less
Upside Profit Expectation: $9-$11 per share, depending on your buy price limit.
It is likely that this stock will overshoot the aforementioned upside target. However, I'll be conservative and simply be satisfied with the bulk of the short-term up swing, and leave some profit on the table. If you're a day< />< />< />< />< />< />...

When considering if financial stocks have hit bottom first consider this research piece by Bridgewater , the worlds 2nd largest hedge fund. It doesn't bode well for the financial industry, the US Dollar, or the US economy in general. This is no time to be taking speculative positions in securities that neither you or I have the ability to analyze completely enough to make a sophisticated investment decision. In markets like these you are far better off protecting your capital than trying to catch falling knives.

I started a position in SKF at $118, a 44% discount from the high of mid-July. The financials have risen 50% over the past two weeks and are just below overhead resistance at 50 EMA (See, XLF). Is the bottom in? I doubt it. I think we're bound to see more pain before the healing begins.

If there was any doubt whether the rally at the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009 was anything but a bear market rally, this week put these doubts to rest. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is already down 8.3% year-to-date; it sank 6.2% this week alone (notwithstanding Friday).
"The great stock pick for 2009 is not a stock -- it is a high risk, extremely volatile ETF," says short-selling expert
