Welcome to The Daily Stock Report...brought to you by QualityStocks.Net, performance tracked daily. I'm Cathy Rankin and for Monday March 5th .... we're bringing you the latest news from around the markets as well as the top movers to look out for today... In Headline News Today... The major averages closed sharply lower Friday amid growing fears of a liquidity crunch and worries that sub-prime mortgage misfortunes will spread into the broader economy. Even though Fed Chairman Bernanke briefly put both concerns to rest in a Q&A session on Wednesday, his words appear to have since fallen on deaf ears. As evidenced by another plunge in the futures market Friday morning, another rally in the Japanese yen shed some more light on the high degree of speculation that has been fed by unprecedented levels of liquidity. The correlation again raised concerns that hedge funds benefiting from the so-called carry trade may all start to unwind positions at the same time, which could have a ripple effect around the globe. Meanwhile, U.S. regulators today demanded tougher standards for sub-prime adjustable-rate mortgages; but the news merely minimized losses in Countrywide Financial which yesterday reported in an SEC filing that delinquencies surged 19% last year. On a positive note, St. Louis Fed President Poole made some early remarks. He dismissed fears of a recession, said he sees nothing in carry trades that is disruptive at this stage and that stock market valuation "does not seem to be elevated" at this time appear. Be that as it may, the market's "sell first, think later" mentality led to even more asset reallocation and continued to overshadow the fact that market fundamentals have not changed and that valuations on stocks are actually still attractive.
