Industry Calls Archives: Financials - December 2000
Financials
Thursday, December 29, 2000:  Sell, with buy stop. Financials are once again at the top of the trading range they've been in since September. Considering the bias in the Fed environment toward easing rates and the likely pick up in brokerage fees as more investors start coming back into the market, we believe 
that this sector will likely break through this resistance level to the upside sometime in the next month or two, and when that happens, we will consider the sector a buy. For now, however, we have a sell on these stocks.

Monday, December 11, 2000:  Sell coming. We've been getting quite a few bearish signals on financial stocks lately, with two-thirds of the stocks we follow giving these signals in the last two trading days. Financials have come up almost 15% since our buy call on November 20 and are now hitting a resistance area at all-time high levels that they've hit three times already this year. With the interest rate outlook giving a more bullish picture for the markets (particularly for financials), it is possible that financials could break through this resistance. We believe that a sell is probable, however, if stocks in this area moves up more than another 5% or so, it is likely that a buy will be triggered and they will continue moving up and we would recommend repurchasing financial holdings.
