Any GE rebound is nothing more than a ‘dead cat bounce,’ market watcher says

While there has been a plethora of calls by "fully invested" pundits and analysts, urging clients to do likewise, and stay invested in stocks or, better yet, BTFD, following the Friday selloff and the Monday rebound, we have also seen some more cautious recommendations, such as this one by FBN's JC O'hara, warning clients "Buy the ‘Dead Cat’ Bounce at Your Own Risk."

By now it is clear to everyone, even the most hardened neoliberals, that what is going on in China is nothing short of the complete collapse of a centrally-planned market into sheer chaos, a bubble which while punctuated by the occasional dead cat bounce, is now finished and it is only a matter of time before all the "nouveau riche" farmers and grandparents see all their paper profits wiped out and hopefully go silently into that good night without starting a revolution.

By Jimeet Modi The Sensex this week tanked 2,000 points on global fear factors and then recovered 1,300 points on hopes that all is well with India, and the Chinese bearish sentiments can't dictate the Indian markets. Markets across the globe fell like the crumbling house of cards, scaring the bulls worldwide. The trigger of Yuan devaluation sent emerging market currencies into tailspin, including the rupee, leading to outflow of funds from India and other emerging markets. FIIs have sold stocks worth 2 billion dollars since the beginning of the month.

By Justin Kuepper:Chinese solar stocks are trading up more than 66% over the past month, according to data from Tickerspy. Yet the average price-earnings ratio for these stocks are just 1.8x, and they remain well below their 52-week highs. So, is this the beginning of a larger recovery or simply a 'dead cat bounce' before further declines in the coming months? What's Driving the Rally?

NEW DELHI: The bulls are trudging along the pavement of Dalal Street again. The spectacular rally so far in March has seen the equity benchmark surge 11 per cent since the Union Budget. However, experts, at least some of them, are divided on the strength of the whole surge. "I am sceptical about the current move, simply because of the quality of the rally. This has been led completely by high-beta stocks and there is nothing on the ground to suggest the same," said P Phani Sekhar, Fund Manager - PMS, Karvy Stock Broking.

By Price Headley: Though the market still closed lower again last week, on a net basis, last week’s losses weren’t nearly as harsh as the prior week. All told, the market lost about 1.7% over the past five trading days, though it had been in the hole as much as 8.1% at one point last week. Some decent/hopeful economic data was given credit for the intra-week rebound, though we may have been due for a "dead-cat bounce" no matter what.

After yesterday's late-day 500-point collapse in The Dow, many are wondering it "it" is really over or not?

Asian markets staged a rebound on Wednesday following a brutal selloff a day earlier, however, analysts warn the bounce could be short-lived.
