Impressed by the Bounceback

Posted at 6:45 p.m. EST on Friday, March 9.

Better than we thought. That's how I look at Greece. It worked out better than we thought it would a week ago. Yet, I still found it odd that the stock market could sell off on the obvious triggering of the credit default swaps that ISDA declared late in the day.

Truly, could this have been a surprise to anyone?

Yet, this decision hammered all of the big cyclicals, such as Cummins(CMI) and Joy Global(JOY) , the companies that need credit to sell their wares.

I think that what Greece did was terrible for bondholders. But selling Cummins or Joy ahead of what might be a Chinese rate cut seems pretty stupid. I was glad the selling didn't extend to the banks themselves as some sort of "Who's exposed" game, because that's been played out a gazillion times already.

Overall, you have to be impressed by the bounceback we saw this week. You could have taken the market down today on the idea that February's job growth had declined from January. You could have taken it down on the collapse back to $130 in the Rydex CurrencyShares Euro(FXE) . You could have taken it down by the persistence of Brent's strength.
