Let Hercules himself do what he may, / The cat will mew and dog will have his day. -- Hamlet, William Shakespeare
A powerful intraday reversal has many investors breathing a sigh of relief. The steady downtrend was showing no signs of abating and was in fact picking up speed as Apple (AAPL) dragged down big-cap technology stocks that had led the market for most of 2007. That selling pressure was the final capitulation that was needed to finally wash out the last hopeful bulls and set us up for a big swing.
But make no mistake -- this was a rally of dogs. The big gainers were the worst groups that have been under pressure for many months. Homebuilders, restaurants, truckers, retailers and banks were the big winners, while stocks like Google (GOOG) and Research In Motion (RIMM) finished solidly in the red.
Despite the quality of the leadership, the intraday swing was of impressive magnitude. That certainly affects sentiment, but it is extremely important to keep in mind that this sort of action is typical of bear markets. The biggest and most aggressive swings occur within market downtrends. According to Investor's Business Daily, nine of the biggest positive days in Wall Street history occurred during the bear market of 2000 to 2002.
It certainly is possible that the big swing yesterday is a short-term bottom. We certainly were oversold enough to support a bounce, and some further upside would not be a surprise. But technically, we have not had a real retest and the market trend is still clearly down.
The nature of the leadership yesterday also makes a turnaround very suspect. The likelihood that the worst is over for economically sensitive groups like truckers and restaurants is questionable. Clearly the thinking behind the move yesterday was that lower rates are going to give banks better margins on loans and help bolster consumer spending. We will have to wait to see whether things will be fixed so easily, but if nothing else, we know that the impact of monetary spending is not going to kick in for six months or more. A strong argument can be made for the proposition that the Fed has been too slow in taking action.
The bears are still out there, and they are patiently waiting for a chance to remount short positions. This countertrend bounce is not going to be without substantial obstacles. I suspect that the bulls may be able to hold things up into the Fed meeting on Tuesday as hope of another rate cut keeps sentiment positive, but after that, we are at the mercy of economic data that are likely to indicate that a recession is still a good possibility.
So enjoy the bounce, but start thinking about exit points and potential shorts down the road. Don't get sucked into the hype that the overemotional pundits are likely to put forth about how this market is going to go straight back up. We will have some rocky action ahead of us, and yesterday's big swing won't change that.
We have a positive open on the way as Nokia (NOK) posted a good report and overseas markets continue to rally. Microsoft's (MSFT) earnings tonight will be the main focus.
