The Weekly Report For February 23rd - February 27th, 2009

February 22, 2009- Market Summary
Details of the multi-billion dollar bailout package failed to impress investors as many are still trying to determine if this is the catalyst that will help reverse the strong downtrend. Concerns about potential nationalization of key financial institutions such as Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Citigroup (NYSE:C) added to the selling pressure. The chart of interest this week is of the Dow, which was beat below a key technical level of support. As you can see from the chart, the selling pressure sent the index below its November low, which will be used by proponents of Dow theory to suggest that this is the start of another leg lower. For further reading, see Dow Theory.

Uncertainty Remains Despite Rally (By Dr. Joe Duarte) -- The S&P 500 (SPX) held
above 740 on 2-23, and the market used that key support level to rally on the
next day. So far so good, if you were looking for the market to bottom, which we
were due to its severely oversold state, and the lack of a new low on the big
selloff on 2-23. That being said, you have to wonder if the bulls were able to
accomplish anything beyond getting the bears to cover their shorts. There is
still a feeling that many other shoes are left to drop. And despite mega levels
of pessimism, that washout feeling is just not in the air. This, of course,
leads to more uncertainty, since one can never be sure if any bottom is the
absolute bottom in any market. That leaves traders with little choice but to dip
their toes in the water every time the market seems to make a bottom of some
sort. And that means that at some point, some of those who take chances will be
rewarded. So what can you do? If you decide to trade, keep your positions small.
Decide on your loss limits before you buy. And be prepared to be wrong. After
you do all that, there is nothing to do but see what happens. More important, as
time passes, continue to put together your wish list of stocks that you'd like
to own. Review the list on a regular basis and see what the charts of those
companies you chose look like. If some of them look attractive, maybe a small
nibble is worthwhile. Beyond that, take no unnecessary risks and remain
conservative. This is a very nasty bear market until proven otherwise. Here's a
perfect example. Johnson & Johnson's (NYSE: JNJ) was thought to be a bulletproof
company. Yet, its break to a new three year low, on 2-23, is a signal that
things may actually get worse in the market. Health care stocks, especially well
diversified behemoths like JNJ are traditionally viewed as being recession
proof. And JNJ, because of its well diversified business base, which includes
the gamut of products from over the counter remedies to sophisticated surgical
equipment, has usually been a leading member of the unsinkable group of
companies. So what's happened? Well, for one thing the global economy is in the
tank, which means that sales are going to get hit, likely at all levels in the
company. But, more important, the Obama administration is about to shift its
emphasis, away from mortgages, onto health care, where the focus will be on
cutting costs, for drugs, doctor and hospital reimbursement for Medicare and
Medicaid, and for all kinds of services and equipment. That means that the
entire product line is in trouble. And that means that Wall Street has finally
hit the sell button on JNJ, and likely the rest of the sector. Yet, this is not
something that should surprise anyone. Certainly, we've seen lots of signs in
the last few weeks that something was on the way, as more drug companies are
cutting sales and detailing jobs, as well as cutting back on other services,
such as medication support programs that were once plentiful. The question for
investors, in this case, is not so much when will this be over, but how bad will
it get? And when it's finally over, what will be left of America's health care
industry. If JNJ's recent buckling is any sign of what's ahead, it isn't likely
to be very pretty at all.
