All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.
-- Martin Luther King Jr.
For about an hour after the FOMC cut interest rates yesterday afternoon, the market was anxious to embrace the idea that the solution to our many economic problems is at hand. Many wanted to believe that the Fed cut would cause the market to quickly right itself and begin to ascend once again. Unfortunately, things fizzled quite quickly, and a 200-point rally in the DJIA turned into a loss.
The problem was twofold. First, the Fed interest rate cut had been well anticipated by the market. For several weeks, fed funds rates showed that the market believed there was an 70-80% chance of a half-point cut. Despite that, many pundits acted as if this was some surprising and unexpected news rather than something that has already been priced in to some degree as we bounced over the past week.
Even if this cut had not been entirely anticipated, we still have plenty of problems with the economy that are not magically cured by a rate cut. The bond insurance companies were one such problem that spooked the market yesterday and led to the sudden reversal in the post-Fed rally.
The really big problem that still persists was highlighted in a press release last night in which Standard & Poor's stated that total losses from residential-backed mortgage securities and collaterized debt obligations will likely exceed $265 billion. S&P expects losses in the U.S. to start showing up in regional banks and credit unions and for large European banks to increase their write-offs. There has been about $100 billion of losses taken already on these instruments, so we have a long way to go before the news is exhausted if this report is correct.
Even if you do believe we are out of the woods economically, we have no confirmation of that idea in the charts. The indices are still struggling to break out of the recent downtrend. Many market pundits don't much care about that. They want to believe that our problems are ending, and they will buy into the teeth of deteriorating technical conditions.
Unlike many of the market observers I heard last night, I'm not convinced that the Fed interest rate cuts are going to deliver long-lasting relief for the stock market. I'm open-minded, though, and if the charts start to improve I'll be willing to buy. It is going to take more than a few good days to fix the damage that has been done, and very few charts offer good longer-term entry points, so that means staying in heavy cash for now.
If I miss out on the start of a market recovery, that will be the price I pay for requiring technical confirmation, but if the market is really returning to health, there will be plenty of time to profit down the road. Too many investors worry about missing out on gains rather than protecting capital, and they end up deeply in the hole as a result. I'd rather protect my capital zealously and look for profits only when the odds are strongly in my favor. Right now, the odds favor the bears.
We have recovered somewhat from the beating we were taking after-hours last night, but the market is still set to open in the red. European stocks struggled with continued issues in the financial sector, while Asian stocks were mixed.
