 | While the pundits debate weather we are in a recession, another debate could be just around the corner: have we entered a bear market? There is some compelling evidence to support the argument that indeed we have. The Dow is flirting with historical bear market declines, with the index just 4% away from being down 20%, the benchmark for bear market territory. Perhaps more importantly, the 150 moving average has turned negative too, a technically bearish sign. Even grimmer was today's jobs report, which for the first time offered concrete evidence that the credit crunch, which has been ground zero for the turmoil at the financials, has started to affect job creation. But there has been some good news too, and excluding the battered financials, the corporate picture has not been that bad. Earlier this week, tech giant Cisco offered some very positive comments about its business, and that came just weeks after IBM offered similarly upbeat remarks. The calendar next week will be relatively quiet, but as we saw this week, that vacuum of news can often lead to perilous trading. A smidgen of earnings results will emerge when homebuilder Hovnanian reports on Monday, and the economic calendar will be quiet too. However, there will a number of conferences that could generate some headlines, including investor meetings from Altria, Chevron, Bank of America, and AT&T. But ultimately, news out of the credit markets will determine the tone and tenor for trading next week. News of Ambac's recapitalization plan, a much-anticipated event on Wall Street was not well received, and where we go from here is anyone's guess. One thing is almost certain to ring true next week: volatility will continue, and an open market, especially a volatile one, is a market in which you CAN make money. So let's try to do that all next week. . If you have questions about The Final Trade or suggestions for Fast Money, please send an email to FastMoney@cnbc.com | ||
