On a point and figure basis, are Financial stocks — and possibly the entire financial sector — the modern day Lazarus, rising from the dead?
This entire sector of stocks has been left for dead by the side of the road for well over three years. But their recent action is making us pay attention. We do not know if this is merely a bump along the way lower, or the start of something a little more positive. As in all cases, when the charts change, we will change.
But here is the most important take-away: some of these charts are starting to move back in positive trends. And the market has continued to move higher in recent months WITHOUT the participation of financial company shares.
If the financial sector is truly re-awakening, this market could — emphasize could — have a longer run ahead of it.
In this video, we take a quick peek at the charts of the following companies:
Citigroup (C)
Bank of America (BAC)
JP Morgan (JPM)
Morgan Stanley (MS)
Goldman Sachs (GS)
Barclays PLC (BCS)
BB & T (BBT)
USBancorp (USB)
Wells Fargo (WFC)
PNC Financial (PNC)
NY Community Bank (NYB)
Bank of NY/Mellon (BK)
Banco Santander (STD)

In this podcast, we take a look at how (and why) financial companies may be rising from the dead. The stocks in the financial sector have been comatose for several years!
This is important because the financial sector is one of the largest sectors in the S&P 500 Index of companies. The market is scaling new heights — and has been accomplishing this WITHOUT the participation of the financial companies (banks, brokerage firms and insurance companies). If the re-awakening of the financials is for real, the market may have further to run.
We won’t predict what will happen in the future (whether near-term or long-term). When the charts change, we will change as well. I would also add the following:
