MARKET COMMENT
Dave Fry’s ETF Digest, Sept. 4, 2009
DIP BUYERS PLAY IT AGAIN
If you’re in this business long enough (35 years for the Fryguy), just when you think you’ve seen everything, they play another game on you. This week it was down and dirty early only to yield to some squaring up at week’s end. Squaring up? I use those terms loosely since yesterday’s end of day jam-job was beyond suspicious. Let’s just say those buying the last 15 minutes yesterday had a (cough) hunch what was coming today.
If you think the employment data was good, or had some “kernels of hope” as one headline read, then bully and welcome to the new math and spin 2009 edition. You’d think with this cynical attitude I’d be disappointed, but how can we be when we’re long?
Volume was pathetically low but it’s the Friday before a long weekend so this is expected. Breadth was as positive as you’d expect.
