STOCKS TUMBLE AS AUTOMAKER PLANS ARE REJECTED – RSI FLEES TO SHORT-TERM BOND AND J-YEN FUNDS March 30, 2009
Posted by Marlowe Cassetti in BSV, FXY.trackback
Today in the market, Monday, March 30, 2009: Wall Street’s March rally is on hold after the White House rejected turnaround plans from General Motors Corp. and Chrysler and gave investors an economic reality check.
Major indexes fell about 3 percent Monday, including the Dow Jones industrial average, which lost about 254 points but finished well off its lows. Financial stocks weighed heavily on the market amid worries that banks will need fresh injections of capital. (headline & commentary courtesy of AP via Yahoo Finance)
ETF/CEF Low Volatility:
- BSV Vanguard Short-Term Bond
ETF/CEF Medium Volatility:
- FXY CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust
ETF/CEF Discussion: An ugly day with lots of negatives and investor fear depressing most all of the markets, except for the bond market. RSI saw the carnage and picked two funds that represent a flight to safety. What more can I say? I feel that the relentless bear market downtrend continues despite this recent rally and there will be more carnage to come. Please be careful in these difficult times.
Catch you tomorrow.
