Did the Devil turn the S&P at 666?

In modern popular culture, 666 has become one of the most widely recognized symbols for the Antichrist or, alternately, the Devil. Earnest references to 666 occur both among apocalypticist Christian groups and in explicitly anti-Christian subcultures such as that surrounding some heavy metal bands.

An appearance of the number 666 in contemporary Western art or literature is more likely than not an intentional reference to this number of the Beast symbolism. Such popular references to 666 are too numerous to list.

The S&P 500 Index reversed at 666. Can this be the low of this mega bear market? As they say, the devil is in the details.

Arthur Cashin: Bear Market Rallies are Short, Violent, Sharp













Art Cashin, director of floor operations for UBS Financial Services said that "in the old trader`s handbook says that bear market rallies are short, violent, shart and die on low volume."

"Readers have to watch the volume. When volume dries up, the market will roll over."

"We are going to have some kind of a retest on the lows. Yesterday`s rally was 70% short covering."

Hugh Hendry says Short Stocks, Buy Dollars

Hugh Hendry told CNBC today:

"I've honestly never known a time of near-universal conviction that we have to worry about inflation today. For quantitative easing there's no successful precedent. It has never, ever succeeded."

Hugh Hendry is very bullish on the US dollar and said,

"I can't buy enough dollars"

Hugh Hendry is short on precious metals and does not fear inflation:

"Gold, silver, I'm shorting them right now. (Inflation) is coming back in the future. All I'm saying it is just an unprofitable proposition at the time"

Despite Tuesday's strong rally in the stock markets, shares are not a good investment, said Hendry, who continues to bet on government bonds.

"I dare you to touch an equity today. Tell me you're making money on equities"

Meredith Whitney Video - Credit Cards Companies will be Unprofitable This Year













Meredith Whitney talks to Maria Bartiromo and comments the landscape for the credit cards. Are they the next shoe to drop?

Meredith said she would buy Goldman Sachs at 70, not at 100.

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will benefit from taking more market share. The other players are out of the market.

Meredith Whitney says Credit Cards are the Next Shoe to Drop

Meredith Whitney wrote in the Wall Street Journal that "credit cards are the next credit crunch," as contracting credit will lower consumer spending and hurt the U.S. economy even more.

"Few doubt the importance of consumer spending to the U.S. economy and its multiplier effect on the global economy, but what is under-appreciated is the role of credit-card availability in that spending," Whitney told the WSJ.

American Express, Visa and Mastercard have been performing better then the banks. Will they be under fire in the near future?

Warren Buffett sees High Inflation Ahead, Video




"We are certainly doing things that can lead to a lot of inflation"

Warren Buffett on CNBC, March 09, 2009

These are the interview highlights:

"The economy, ever since we talked in September, we talked about it being an economic Pearl Harbor and how--what was happening in the financial world would move over to the real world very quickly. It's fallen off a cliff, and not only has the economy slowed down a lot, people have really changed their behavior like nothing I've ever seen. Luxury goods and that sort of thing have just sort of stopped, and that's why Wal-Mart s doing well and you know, and I won't name the ones that are doing poorly."

"And I've never seen the consumer or the Americans just generally more fearful than this. And they're also confused. And you can get fearful very quickly, but you don't get confident, you know, in five minutes. You can get fearful in five minutes, but you won't get confident for some time. And government is going to play an enormous factor in how fast it comes back. And if you're confused and fearful, you don't get over being fearful till you aren't confused."

The sazonality is good for oil prices and they are coming out of a very oversold condition so prices should continue to go higher.
