Pledge To Help European Banks Ignites Global Rally

By TRANG HO Investors Business Daily "Despite the strong rally, the market's overall longer-term trend looks bearish, says Vinny Catalano, president and global investment strategist with Blue Marble Research.

"With earnings season starting this week, there is every reason to expect the optimistic bottom-up projections will follow the macroeconomic forecasts for the third quarter, which were well below economists' expectations," he wrote in his blog Monday."

What can Alan Krueger do for investors?

Commentary: Policy decisions more important than this top economist

by Robert Powell, MarketWatch

But as much of a jobs expert as he is, none of that may be enough to change the course of mighty rivers, nor will he bend steel in his bare hands. “Krueger’s input should be helpful,” said Vinny Catalano, a CFA charterholder, and president and global investment strategist with Blue Marble Research. “But the key questions remain: What is the vision and where is the leadership? Krueger can only advise. He cannot dictate. And economists, as a rule, are not visionaries nor are they leaders.” Catalano said the policy actions taken in the next few months will be far more important and will determine if the economy can avoid another and far more severe recession. (President Obama is expected to call for another extension of unemployment insurance benefits which are available for nearly two years.) “As you might guess, I am not optimistic his appointment will mean anything meaningful,” said Catalano. Catalano is not alone in that outlook.

ETFs Rally Across The Board

By TRANG HO

INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY

Vinny Catalano, president with Blue Marble Research in New York, believes the market is undergoing a countertrend rally in a bear market that started this summer.

"We entered this bear market in the most unusual fashion," Catalano said. "Bear markets usually start from markets that were overvalued market to begin with. But this one started from a regularly valued market. This is the first time it's ever happened."

Catalano expects the S&P 500 to fall to 1000 to 800, down 17% to 33%, from Monday's close. Strong corporate profits and low interest rates justify the market rising higher, he says.

Barrons MarketWatch A Tale of Two Halves

Sectors and Styles Strategy Report by Blue Marble Research  P.O. Box 216  New York, N.Y. 10276

Jan. 3: This is likely to be a year of two halves. The first half will probably be fine, with global growth in decent shape, albeit with a continuation of what the International Monetary Fund calls a "multispeed" growth environment. The second half is far more problematic, and is contingent on how effective U.S. stimuli will be. If U.S. government stimuli plus global growth overwhelm the still unresolved longer-term structural problems (imbalances, mainly due to excess debt), then the economic recovery in developed economies will morph into a self-sustaining, private-sector-driven economic expansion lifting corporate profits further into record territory, and with it a stock market that, in the case of the Standard & Poor's 500, should challenge its historic highs (i.e., above 1500). However, if the stimuli fail to enable the U.S. economy to reach what economists call "escape velocity," political and economic forces will almost certainly restrain the U.S. government from being able to provide another round of stimulus, with the consequences tilted heavily toward another, possibly, worse, crisis…. Given the fact that stocks tend to rise in early January (new money, mainly in retirement accounts, comes into the market, thereby lifting stocks), it is reasonable to expect 2011 to get started on the positive side. However…it is very likely that the early burst stocks may experience to start the year will fade into a market pullback (3% to 5%) and possibly even a correction (5% to 10%).  -- Vinny Catalano

Earnings Season Kicks Off By Josh Lipton, Minyanville

“I would imagine that, in 2011, corporate profits will be quite good due to massive monetary and fiscal stimulus along with no real disruptions for the global growth story,” says Vinny Catalano, president of Blue Marble Research. “However, in the second half of the year, the growth rate will slow down. The key will be whether the US economy is able to wean itself off these government programs. I remain doubtful.” Catalano continues to eyeball opportunity across the pond. He invests in global materials through iShares S&P Global Materials (MXI) as well as global utilities through iShares S&P Global Utilities (JXI), a sector which he’s betting will benefit from continued spending by emerging market governments. Health care companies are expected to see earnings growth of 7.1%. Catalano, at least in the near-term, is a fan of this space given its attractive valuation along with his prediction of an M&A pickup in the sector.
