The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 8001 on 1/30/09, as the stock market fell on a better then expected GDP report and the rumor that the bad bank plan is on hold. The Dow Jones Futures started the day down, we got the GDP number which was down 3.8%, and stocks began to rally in pre market. After the stock market opened, it began to trade lower. Later in the day, CNBC's Charlie Gasparino reported that the Government's bad bank plan might have hit a roadblock and they are unclear on how to act on the plan. This sent the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 lower. This is bad for the stock market because it bring uncertainty back into the market. It will be interesting to see how we open on Monday given this news. I will have full technical analysis of the stock market over the weekend, Right Here.

Charlie Gasparino CNBC Banks 1/30/09

Charlie Gasparino of CNBC is reporting today, January 30, 2009, that the bad bank plan could be on hold. The stock market is dipping on this news, the Dow Jones is hovering above support around 8000.

The Bad Bank plan was for the Government to buy toxic bank assets and get them off the banks' books so that they can resume lending and start a new path to profits.

This bad bank plan news has rallied the stock market over the past week and this news combined with Obama's Wall Street bonus chatter is really starting to hamper the stock market.

Not news you want to hear on a Friday afternoon going into the weekend! If we close at the lows, look out below on Monday! I would not want to be in bank stocks right now.
