No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.
-- Edmund Burke
Fear firmed gripped the market on Monday as a banking and economic crisis spread around the world. This has been building for quite a while, but now it is obvious that virtually all markets are being affected.
The big problem for the market is that there are no easy solutions for this crisis. Policymakers seem lost, and we keep hearing about new approaches and ideas for dealing with the various issues. Therein lies what is weighing on the market. There is extreme uncertainty, and until we have a better grip on what to do and where things are headed it will be difficult for the market to efficiently price securities, and investors will stand aside.
The good news is that fear is reaching the point where investors are panicked. The huge, sudden drop in worldwide markets yesterday looked like at least the start of investor capitulation. Capitulation is nothing more than surrender. It happens when investors give up the fight and exit the market because they just can't take it anymore. In many cases, this is a sign that a market bottom is near.
Capitulation tends to occur after there is a long fight like the bulls have had with this market all year. They are frustrated and tired and just can't take any more. When a whole army of investors finally gives up at the same time, that often clears the selling pressure and promotes conditions that will help to stop the slide.
So was yesterday's action what we expect to see at a market bottom? It is a good start. I would not assume that there won't be some more downside, but it's how the bottoming process should start. We'd be foolish to expect that buyers will jump in and the market will leap forward with unbridled optimism.
As you know, I've been extremely defensive for quite some time as the market has trended down, but the action yesterday prompted me to finally start thinking a lot more about some long-side exposure. I took some small positions and started looking much closer at some potential buys. If the market continues to show some signs of trying to find a low, I'll continue to inch in, but it's going to take some time for a real uptrend to emerge.
Even if you do believe that the market may be groping for a low, it is still far too early to be aggressive with buys. We need some hard proof. The market has to show that it really has shaken out sellers and can hold up. It isn't going to be a smooth process, and you can be sure that confidence is going to stay very shaken.
So if you have been holding high levels of cash, it may be time to start contemplating the idea that you might be able do a little buying. I'm very encouraged by the fact that many of the folks who were bullish all year are now quite bearish. That is a sign that some capitulation has taken place. The process may need to play out further, but it has begun and that is a cause for at least a little optimism.
Market action is a bit shaky this morning, which is to be expected when you have a bout of panic like yesterday. What we need now if for the market to hold above yesterday's low and build some technical support. I'd then be looking for some sort of positive news to catch the market by surprise and give us at least a brief spike up. That might not hold, but it will begin the back-and-forth process that will help us build technical support.
There is still a lot of danger out there, but optimism has disappeared and fear is in the air. That is a good thing for those with very high levels of cash.
Buckle on your trading helmet and adjust your goggles. It's going to be an interesting market.
