主题:03/23/2009 Market View -- 宁子
After hours the SEC indicated that at its next meeting it would address the uptick rule with a review and an eye toward perhaps reinstating the requirement that short sales not take place but on an uptick in stock price. The idea is it would avoid the extensive bear runs that sent financials into the muck. That is debatable but it is something many are calling for. The next meeting? April 8. Once more we have to wait.
We also have to wait, though not as long, to see just how solid this move is. The Plan got the publicity for sending the market higher Monday, but there is another issue prompting some of this buying and that is quarter end window dressing. With the rally off the lows, the Fed action, and now the rally Monday, many of the funds are getting caught short when the market is rallying toward the end of March and the quarter. There is buying in these stocks so they will appear in the Q1 mailings. How long does it continue? As long as it takes the many shorts to get into some of these stocks. After that the market makes its next test. Not necessarily a bad thing but just part of the gears driving the move higher and one we need to be aware of when the market gets near the end of the month . . . and a new earnings season immediately following. Sounds like a recipe for a pullback but we will deal with that as it approaches.
Nearer term the market showed a strong move through next resistance, the next step in its move higher. Curious to see how it responds on the day after as a lot of shorts were covering again Monday after a 2-day pullback following the Fed's big announcement last Wednesday afternoon. The shorts were breathing a bit easier with a failure at resistance but then Monday they were gasping for breath again as stocks shot higher. We will see if the buyers back off again and the sellers try to come in, but if the funds believe that there is more life in this move they are going to continue to window dress some more and keep upward pressure on stocks.
As always when our positions surge we will look for opportunity to take some gain, and another big day or a couple of upside sessions will put a lot of stocks well into the money for us and allow us to bank some more on this second leg of the rally off the March low. We do view this as a second leg even with the volume issues on NASDAQ, given the market did take a pause before surging back up. Either way the market has moved well and as it continues we will take more gain.
We picked up some more shares Monday and as the market moves higher there are some others we can move into as well if they show us good solid moves. Lack of volume was a culprit for many on Monday despite good price surges. When the market explodes higher that is often the case. We will look at more upside positions as they present themselves but we will also watch the overall market after such a big surge. An early lull would be normal and allow for new buys, but you also want to be careful not to chase positions given the short rest and then the big surge.
