Research Department Releases Report: 'Investing & Trading in Unprecedented Market Conditions'
C-Squared Research has released a critically-timed report exploring the current state of the U.S. Stock Market and setting forth in detail both the Bullish and Bearish cases for investing in the market, going forward.
Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) May 13, 2009 -- C-Squared Research has released a critically-timed report exploring the current state of the U.S. Stock Market and setting forth in detail both the Bullish and Bearish cases for investing in the market, going forward.
Andrew Sizemore, C-Squared Research Market Analyst, states: "Since the markets hit twelve-year Lows on March 6th/9th, a dramatic upturn has been in effect; the Dow is up 32% and the S&P 500 is up a whopping 39%; and it indeed seems at first glance that Happy Days Are Here Again!"
"Is a new Bull Market under way, as many are shouting from the rooftops? If so, perhaps any investable funds you salvaged from the preceding fifteen-month market-meltdown should be re-invested, in order to profitably participate," Sizemore continues. "Or is this a huge Bear Market Bounce, prior to a significant move back to the downside, as many of our most esteemed pundits and economists are warning? Is this just a temporary broad-market Short-Squeeze, combined with sustained Mutual Fund Window-Dressing, which will soon be ruthlessly smacked down by the Invisible Hand of inescapable and merciless Market Forces? If so, perhaps it might be more profitably prudent to DayTrade or SwingTrade, rather than to invest."
The report meticulously identifies, enumerates, and explores the primary assertions of both the Bulls and the Bears; a brief synopsis of each is reproduced here:
THE BULLISH CASE:
(1) All remaining potential bad economic news was priced in to the market between November and March; and bad news is currently shrugged off, while good news is met with thunderous applause and rallies in the stock markets;
(2) The financial and economic stimuli carried out by the U.S. and other governments are beginning to work their ways through the world's economies, bringing about a gradual healing and revitalization;
(3) Unemployment has begun to level off;
(4) Economic indicators have bottomed and are becoming more positive;
(5) In their quarterly earnings-reports, more-and-more companies are beating their lowered analyst-expectations and issuing more upbeat forward-guidance;
(6) The Obama Administration and many economists are predicting a U.S. economic recovery in late 2009 or early 2010; and since the markets look forward 6 - 9 months, an anticipatory new Bull Market is now in effect;
(7) For the first time in 50 years, stock dividend yields are now greater than Treasury yields, which makes stocks more attractive than bonds;
(8) The Fear-Factor peaked early in March, and has been falling ever since;
(9) The Stress Test results released by the U.S. government indicate that the U.S. Financial Sector is going to remain intact, and the wheels of commerce will continue to turn without interruption; and
(10) A huge pool of cash is waiting on the sidelines, eager to jump into the Market, which will result in a huge extension to the current rally.
THE BEARISH CASE:
(1) Western economies are still floundering. The European Commission now expects the European Union economy to shrink 4% this year, which is worse than the 1.8% contraction it had previously forecast; and the U.S. economy is expected to fair even worse;
(2) More bad economic news is coming; there yet remain more "shoes to drop" -- more severe economic dislocations involving banks, credit-default swaps, waning productivity, shipping and distribution, unemployment, corporate and personal bankruptcies, deflation, inflation, stagflation, international trade, political destabilization and upheavals, etc…;
(3) When the Stock-Market Bubble popped in 2000/2001, the combined effects of various governmental policies replaced that bubble with the Housing Bubble and the Exotic Derivatives Bubble. Now that those two bubbles are popping with a greater fury and more severe consequences than the Stock-Market Bubble, governments have reacted by implementing panicky and ill-conceived economic stimuli which will result in new short-lived bubbles and ultimately in economy-wrecking hyperinflation;
(4) The current stock-market rally is being fueled by huge Mutual Funds which are engaging in aggressive Window-Dressing-type Buy-Programs, which are in turn activating the stop-losses of many Bears, creating in recent weeks a domino-effect which is temporarily sending stock-prices consistently upward;
(5) The consistent 35-year drop in real U.S. productivity continues unabated; and no sustained economic recovery can set in until that unwise trend is reversed -- and reversed significantly;
(6) The Obama administration is placing heavier tax-and-regulation burdens upon American businesses, which will produce an additional drag on the economy;
(7) Intelligent and successful long-term investing absolutely require an environment of stable economic structures; a stable, reasonable and understandable infrastructure of financial laws; and a stable, reasonable and understandable framework of tax laws -- none of which we currently enjoy, by any stretch of the imagination; and
(8) Since March 6th/9th, the Dow has risen 32% and the S&P 500 has risen 39% without a single significant pullback -- this is totally unprecedented; and the Market is overdue for a substantial correction.
