Government Intervention to Boost Stocks

The Federal Government has taken more steps to boost confidence in the financial markets, and this is sparking a huge rally in futures ahead of the open. The Dow futures are set to open up 400 points this morning on the back of this news, which includes banning short selling on some financial stocks. The government is also providing a back stop to the money market funds.

Investors are piling into the market as a result, however I still believe traders should use some caution here. An important bottom has likely been put in at yesterday’s lows, but it is important to let things shake out for a while. Once the markets have calmed down, traders and investors can resume using their normal methodologies for picking stocks.

Enjoy the weekend!
