The Philadelphia Bank Index closed down 1.6% today - failing to burst through the resistance line that we discussed in last weekend's commentary.

My guess is that financial stocks will begin to underperform again going forward - suggesting a further decline in global liquidity.

Best,

Henry

Rffrydr,

Thats a good point,

however I see "good" banks with no subprime or CDO or whatsoever exposure trading at valuations (if we can speak of any serious estimates of valuations now ) that even a 50% cut in dividend still makes 4-5% yield. The selling in banks can not go forever and at some point they turn, this turn can be massive, enough when those short have to cover...

And if we see really some write-ups in 3Q ...

For a long term engagement in selected regional banks .... it was a buy for me..

My BIR is 12% up since yesterday morning ...

There just so much more of it than there was a while ago. Dilution and oversold indicators don't mix.

There is some chatter that US financials are being pressured into selling overseas assets and repatriating into dollars. I hope that's not all there is behind this comeback. Quid pro quo with Saudis? That would be a new kind of G8.

BKX now most oversold in last 25 years or so...

http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=%5EBKX#symbol=%5EBKX;range=my

If Banks rebound 25% to a BKX of app 85 (and that is just a technical rebound) they lift SPX alone by 4% even if all other stocks stay where they are..

I think 50 SPX points banks and 70 the rest gives us so +120 or 1450, + breaking the stop losses at 1440 thats +30 Smile

well 1470 is not unrealistic within month should the banks really rebound ...

BKX breaking the support at 75.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=%5EBKX

Where goes the piggie there goes the tail?

Or panic sell-off posed for a big rebound lifting SPX?

I still wait a couple of days but I have a finger on the trigger to go long should we fall under DJIA 12100 and short term sentiment oversold.

The current financials retracement captured in the sentiment here:

I'm in the BSC "lamb-to-the-gods" camp; yet, note the closet bullishness. Some of the metrics you might want to use to buy..

The ETF, XLF can be traded. It mirrors the BKX index. Also options available.

Notice the high volume on the XLF today. RSI and MACD tracking lower.
