Markets turning around on Henry Paulson Comments

The Stock Market is having a nice turnaround this afternoon because Henry Paulson is on CNBC defending himself and why he changed the TARP program....basically he thinks conditions have improved in the credit crisis and he says he doesn't see any more major failures and everyone can sleep with peace of mind.

Google ( GOOG ) has been leading the charge today....stock up 2% when most technology stocks were down 4-6%. Keep an eye on Baidu.com ( BIDU ), when this closes back over $200 it could really rip higher.

Art Hogan CNBC 11/14/08 - Hogan Bottom

Art Hogan, Chief Market Strategist at Jefferies & Company was on CNBC this morning, 11/14/08, and gave comments and stock market predictions. Art Hogan is popular for what CNBC calls, " The Hogan Bottom " due to his bottom call on October 10th, 2008 when everyone was panicking. Art Hogan boldly called the bottom on 10/10/08 and sure enough, so far it turns out he was right. Below is what he had to say November 14th, 2008.

The stock market certianly looks better, we tested the bottom three time now, ( October 10th, October 28th, November 13th ) volume looks good, gives you more confidence. We need to consider how much bad news is already priced into the stock market and most of it is.

We had a 900 point swing in the Dow Jones yesterday, I think we can get another 10% on the upside for the rest of the year and then in 2009 we will have to reset and figure out where we are.

Art Cashin CNBC 11/14/08 Capitulation Comments

Art Cashin of UBS was on CNBC this morning, 11/14/08, and gave some comments on yesterdays rally.

It was as close to capitulation as you could have come....the Dow Jones held its lows, we made a big reversal off the lows and rallied. I would have liked more volume but we got around 2 billion in volume which is good. The only downside was the financials didn't really participate in the big rally yesterday, but we'll take it!

We are going to retest the rally this morning and see how we hold up.

I got what I wanted yesterday, today, 11/14/08, should be another volatile day, we will get a better feel as to what we do next week.

Stock Market Futures 11/14/08 - Dow Jones Futures

11/14/08 Pre Market Trading Report:

Today, November 14th, 2008, after an amazing reversal yesterday, the stock market futures are pointing toward a lower open. The Dow Jones Futures are down 93, Nasdaq Futures Down 13, and the S&P 500 Futures are lower by 9. This weekend there is the G20 meeting and I think Wall Street is looking for something to come out of this meeting.
