 | A few weeks ago, when the financials bounced off their post -Bear lows, I quoted my good friend Peter Parker from that excellent action adventure film "Spider Man 3" - who, after donning an evil black suit, exclaimed, "It feels so good to be bad." That may be the case, but as anyone who watched that terrific flick knows, eventually bad lost, and this too appeared to be the case with beleaguered financials as the group as a whole touched March lows. The culprit has not changed. Expectations of additional writedowns related to the bad bets on the mortgage market again hammered stocks, but in addition to balance sheet concerns was the realization that the income side of the picture is getting worse. In short, how will these institutions make money? And lest I forget this thing called oil? It continues to defy gravity, spiking higher despite tough talk from regulators, promises of increased production, and reduced demand. That is hurting the bottom line and dramatically affecting the spending habits of you, the consumer. Look no further than the airlines. Look no further than the autos. But with pain comes the opportunity to profit, and there still remain pockets of strength - namely energy names that continue to piggyback on crude's magnificent move. The calendar was relatively light this week - save the broker earnings. But that will change next week. First on the agenda will be the two-day Fed meeting, which gets under way on Tuesday. Virtually no one expects the nation's top moneyman to actually raise rates, but any clues to future hawkish behavior could set the tone and tenor for trading on Wednesday. The Fed will grab the early headlines, but the post-market on Wednesday will belong to earnings. Tech titans Oracle and RIMM both release results after the bell Wednesday, in addition to that Teflon consumer name Nike. While the rest of the market swoons, those three stocks are flirting with their 52-week highs. Is it time for a breakdown or breakout? The Fast Money will be watching. Also worth watching will be new home sales on Wednesday (which will be the busiest day of the week) and existing home sales on Thursday; Consumer Sentiment is released on Friday. Plenty of opportunities to make money and even more reasons to watch "Fast Money". Remember, an open market is a market in which you can make money, and we will try to do that all next week. I hope to see you then. . If you have questions about The Final Trade or suggestions for Fast Money, please send an email to FastMoney@cnbc.com | ||
