Make your conclusion here. Subprime woe, uncertainity again once the dust settles, inflation worries,name it.

Two weeks after 2007-03-19 12:02:00 a 3.5% one-day drop in the S&P 500, the market suffered another 2% decline, triggered by a Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) report of an increase in subprime and prime delinquencies. All 10 sectors in the S&P 500 took a hit on March 13, with the S&P 500 financials sector down themost on the day (-3%). All that is not likely over? From a technical perspective, Mark Arbeter, S&P’s chief technical strategist believes the S&P 500 financials index has broken down on an intermediate term basis on very heavy volume, and appears headed for a test of long-term support just 1% below current prices. Near-term investor sentiment in this sector has been hurt by concerns in the subprime mortgage market. Opportunities are seen in higher-quality banks.WB BAC C See also previous posts in Financials.Look over the shoulder of the best investors in the world as they discuss the topics :forums

an bourses have responded with gains of around 8.9% (in U.S. dollar terms) in the S&P Europe 350 index this year through April 17. In fact, the greenback has depreciated 3% vs. the euro and 2.6% vs. the pound sterling year-to-date, the S&P Europe 350’s 8.9% advance in U.S. dollars compares with a 6% local currency gain. While the greenback still accounts for 66% of global foreign reserves, the euro is fast becoming a more competitive reserve alternative with a 25% share.

Financials sector to overweight ? 2007-05-11 11:15:00 I view the next move by the Fed is most likely a rate cut later this year, which will benefit the stocks in this rate-sensitive group. The banks and diversified financials , such as insurers and real estate investment trusts, have been having a tough year. Through April 17, the financials sector
index has fallen behind, underperforming the S&P 500 index. Although the sector has appreciated, it's the laggard of the 10 sector indices, rising only 0.7% while the "500" has gained 3.8%. In 2006, the financials sector index increased 16.2%, compared with a13.6% rise for the "500" The subprime lending mess has put pressure on many stocks in the group recently. After energy, the financials sectorhas the lowest price-to-earnings ratio of all 10 sectors of the economy, at 12.7 times 2007 earnings. The powerful energy sector's P/E can't be beat at11.5 as of April 20. Price is one good reason why S&P says it's time to consider banks again and the representative Sector SPDR-Fin
