Dow recovers from near 300 points from BEAR LOW.....

Dow kept going down to near 300 points from Bear market LOW & then RECOVERS......

Recovery from 246 points drop was fast & furious & barely closed with a loss of 6.77....

Nasdaq & S&P500 were GREEN......

Main reason for recovery was attributed to helping with mortgages by Obama administration..first there is a $8000 tax credit being given to first time home buyers & help is given to homeowners who are having difficulty with their mortgage payment......

AH rumour that 7 million share secondary is being offered by GERN with 10% to 15% discount from today's closing price......GERN trading Down 77 cents or about 10%.....

VIX closed @ 41.25.....below 40 would be better......High today was 48.63......

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem,

The fast and furious buying to close up just 6 was more likely caused by the computers running risk/reward algorithms. Selling was drying up so a general shift in gears was appropriate. The mortgage rumors can't account for the buying rush. Humanity does not act that fast. IMHO.

Best Regards

Hi Standards,

After any recovery...there is a need of WHY it happened for non-participant....

Yes...market had exhausted sellers & computers kick-in buy program...an orderly transfer of wealth from sellers near low....

Details about how home buyers will be helped MAY have been CATALYST that market will find support near LOW...
