BNYMellon meglio delle aspettative

Proprio cosi contenti i mercati non sono.. tra le punizioni Cinesi alle banche troppo creditrici, i risultati dei finanziari buoni ma non ecezionali, i dati di un weconomia in ripresa ma con fatica ed i prezzi degli indici che scontano quasi la perfezione qualcuno prima o poi chiederà conto....

seduta debole ma con recupero serale di buona consistenza, personalmente non mi convince però.. ci son le trimestrali di mezzo ed è difficle andare over per cui il rischio vale la candela...

THE DAY AFTER
By Charles Payne, CEO & Principal Analyst

1/20/2010 1:26:19 PM Eastern Time


Well, we knew that the market was shaky even during yesterday's rally, which never felt convincing. By the same token, today's sell-off hasn't reached the intensity that is normally associated with a 200-point drubbing on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. I think that finally smart money is raising cash but not panicking. And, why not build cash when it seems as if everything is going to get hit whether there is good or bad company news. I happen to like when the market gets like this, although admittedly I don't like when subscribers get too nervous. The reality is at some point the market is going to have to take a hit, if it's on good earnings then I can live with that. I welcome that occurrence as it has gotten more difficult to find stocks based strictly on valuation.

The sell-off today doesn't underscore the enthusiasm that Wall Street has for the election victory of Scott Brown. Today's action, however, has much more to do with economic truths of today not the potential of nipping additional non free market principles. By the way, even though lower coal volumes hurt CSX Corp.'s (CSX) earnings results the industry could be a big winner with "41" in position to derail Cap and Trade. Health insurance providers are an obvious winner, but delays in clean coal and the anti-coal mantra from the White House could just be empty finger pointing.

Today's economic data wasn't horrendous, but sketchy. The Producer Price Index (PPI) was hotter than expected on the headline but the core was actually cooler. Housing starts were less than expected, but permits soared, and I'm not sure why outside of weather. I'm not even sure the increase is a good thing.
