Stocks fall on fresh worries about economy
Stocks drop as rising jobless claims, falling new home sales point to more economic woes
Madlen Read and Tim Paradis, AP Business Writers
Thursday January 29, 2009, 6:03 pm EST
Yahoo! Buzz Print NEW YORK (AP) -- Two glaring signs that the economy remains in a deep slump sent stocks reeling Thursday.

">
News that unemployment claims reached a record high and that new home sales hit a record low forced the major stock indexes to give back all of Wednesday's gains, and then some. The Dow Jones industrial average sank 226 points, or 2.7 percent, while other indicators tumbled more than 3 percent.

Volatility still has a grip on the Street. While stocks had soared Wednesday on hopes that the government will take bad debt off banks' books, investors retreated in response to some harsh reminders that it might be a while before the nation's 14-month-old recession ends, even if banks get more aid.

The Labor Department said the number of people continuing to receive unemployment benefits reached a seasonally adjusted 4.78 million week ending Jan. 17 -- the highest level on records that go back to 1967. As a proportion of the work force, the total is the highest since August 1983.

Companies across a variety of industries have been slashing their payrolls by the thousands. Starbucks Corp., Eastman Kodak and Allstate Corp. became the latest major employers to announce big job cuts -- 7,000 at Starbucks; 3,500 to 4,500 at Kodak; and 1,000 at Allstate.

"It seems like we've gotten through the financial crisis. Now we're dealing with global synchronized recession," said Brian Battle, vice president of trading at Performance Trust Capital Partners in Chicago.

And as more people lose their jobs, fewer of them are buying new homes. The Commerce Department said home sales plunged 14.7 percent to an adjusted annual rate of 331,000 in December -- the lowest on records going back to 1963. Earlier this week, the National Association of Realtors said existing home sales posted an unexpected increase last month, but the sales were mostly of foreclosed homes.

"This all began as a housing crisis, and clearly, the housing crisis continues," said Nathan Rowader, director of investments at Forward Management. "Bad housing numbers are not going to encourage anyone to be buying stock."

Investors' mood also darkened after companies from Eastman Kodak Co. to chip maker Qualcomm Inc. reported that profits tumbled the final three months of 2008, and the Commerce Department said orders to U.S. factories for big-ticket manufactured goods fell for the fifth straight month in December.

The Dow industrials fell 226.44, or 2.70 percent, to 8,149.01.

Market Bottom: Are We There Yet?
Larry Macdonald
Tuesday January 27, 2009, 6:59 pm EST
Yahoo! Buzz Print "Nobody rings a bell at the bottom of a bear market", goes the old Wall Street adage, but there are plenty of indicators investors can monitor in the hope of divining when a bottom might occur. The key to judging this accurately is to avoid relying on one or two indicators. Instead, use several in combination because while some may be sending clear messages that the bottom is at hand, others may predict something else entirely; it's the degree of divergence between the indicators you examine that will help you determine where the market's headed. Let's take a look at 15 indicators that can help you determine whether the market has hit bottom, or is still falling.

Are We There Yet?
The levels reached by the indicators at the bottom of past bear markets are commonly used as signposts for current bear markets. Unfortunately, history doesn't always repeat the same way. In the bear market of 2008, for example, the epochal nature of the financial crisis produced readings that were off the charts for many indicators, and far beyond their predictive thresholds.

Although indicator readings associated with past bottoms may only be instructive during typical bear markets, their direction and rates of change may still help during the more severe bear markets. Specifically, when they decline from their peaks and gather momentum on the downside, recovery mode is likely unfolding.

There is always a great deal of interest in when the stock market might bottom. Many investors with a trading approach look for the best time to commit money to the market. They don't want to try to "catch a falling knife."

However, the average investor, who is busy with family and career, should be wary of such market timing. Academic studies have shown they are better off buying and holding the market through index funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and rebalancing at intervals.

Of course, if the average investor can start investing or rebalancing in the depths of a bear market, this should enhance long-run returns. The indicators may thus be helpful in providing a more objective picture of market conditions and the periods when increasing exposure to equities are more likely to enhance long-term returns (not so much the exact bottom).

Types of Indicators
The indicators are grouped into the following five types:


Market Sentiment: Heightened pessimism signals proximity to the trough
Technical Analysis: Extremely oversold markets are more likely to snap back
Credit Markets: Markets struggle when bankers/bond markets are skittish
Valuation: Bear markets face an uphill climb if valuations are still high
Economic Indicators: The economy can sustain a rally off the bottom
