The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 8212.49 on 1/15/09, as the stock market was down significantly but bounced into positive territory during the afternoon hours. The day started with the futures down slightly. JP Morgan ( JPM ) came out with earnings which were better then expected, but the fear came at the open when most bank stocks went significantly lower. During the afternoon session, the Dow Jones bounced off a key support level of 8000 and hit a high of 8283 before going back into the red again. Tomorrow, Citigroup ( C ) will release their earnings and we will have to see what is behind that curtain. The volatility appears to be back in full force. The Volatility Index ( VIX ) hit a multi week high of 55 before the bounce occurred. I will have full technical analysis of the stock market tonight, Right Here

Bank Stocks 1/15/09 - January 15, 2009

News that Bank of America ( BAC ) is needing more Government Aid started circulating last night and Jp Morgan ( JPM ) reported better then expected earnings of .07 EPS this morning. Despite the JP Morgan news, banking stocks are taking a nose dive this morning, 1/15/09. This really all started last week when Citigroup ( C ) started to break down.

The S&P 500 has support between 815-820, so if you love financial stocks down here, it could be a great place to take a shot. I will not be getting involved however until things start to improve.

Bank of America ( BAC ) - January 15, 2009 Low - $7.35 - Current Price $8.08
JP Morgan ( JPM ) - January 15, 2009 Low - $24.75 - Current Price $26.01

Here We Go Again - The Dow Jones tested key support at 8150 and bounced off this level.
