"OK, here's something that makes sense: Morgan Stanley (MS). The company is out of the woods, it is not expensive, it has a good dividend, it doesn't need to do an equity offering, and if it stays down here, it is hard to imagine that it can be independent. Can its dividend be maintained? The fact is that MS had a really good quarter, not just vs. expectations but in real life. And there is no reason to pull your money out of it anymore. None. The service is great, the product is great, the company is great. It was simply a much-raided down stock of a company that will do a lot of M&A and a lot of advising and a lot of underwriting if Libor keeps coming down. I mention this one because I am looking for bargains in finance that are not about to do billion-dollar equity offerings, as Doug Kass points out, and that are well-run and will be able to steer their way through this crisis. Does anyone doubt John Mack's abilities after this round of crisis? I think he is money. And yes, the market acts "well" despite the tech declines. The market is oversold. I even like the tech stocks that are down, notably Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Qualcomm (QCOM), although I am sure the latter is not having a blowout quarter. I like Qualcomm because there is no upside now expected, and that's a good situation. But it is situations like MS that intrigue. That's directly affected by all that is being done to save the financial system. It is not an indirect play. And despite the big run-up from $9, it is down huge. The franchise is not at risk. The price is real low, and if it goes lower, I know I just want to buy more, now that it has the Japanese money."
