The DOW has been trending fairly flat recently, and in the past week, we've experienced a monstrous rally lead by the financials. To some investors, it look like the sign of a rebound. However-- and I should qualify that my crystal ball is murky at best-- but I think there is still some room for the market to fall. You see, the rally is due to better than expected earning and smaller than expected loss. However, earnings is still weak and financials are still at a loss. Does that mean we shouldn't invest? No. In fact, I completely agree that it's best not to time the market. However, I also don't see the recent rally as a sign of a bottom and a rebound. For Pete's sake, it rallied on weakness.
