David Fry's Market Outlook for Tuesday
-
Font Size:
You cannot short this market on a bet, since there's an ongoing supportive bid. This is manifested by buyouts [Sallie Mae and Double Click Monday] and massive amounts of liquidity. The G-7 failure to address the weak yen over the weekend means the "yen carry trade" is fully operational, stoking even more fuel for buying.
Greenspan was also out reeling-in his previous recession possibility comments suggesting that global growth will cushion any decline in the U.S. economy. Oh, and by the way, he said the subprime mortgage issue was no big deal either.
Announced earnings from companies like Citigroup and Eli Lilly beat "lowered expectations," which equals an upside earnings surprise to bulls.
So all things deemed positive means we rally.
Keeping our eye on more markets that count, and some just ignored "for now" -- we'll just keep on posting them anyway.
Let's go overseas for more thrills than domestically.
How about a little this and that?
That's enough of your global investment tour for one day. The markets are powerful and shouldn't be messed with on the short side. [Tell me about it!] An invisible hand? Well, given all the cash boiling under the surface looking for a home -- it's there.
But things can change on a dime as we witnessed just five to six weeks ago. How quickly we forget when we're on a roll.
This is enough chatter today given the tragedy that took place in Virginia.
