Stocks Reverse Higher In Higher Volume As Investors Look Past Ugly Jobs Report

The market bounced back from an early plunge Friday, as investors shook off an ugly jobs report and pushed stocks up in higher volume.

The Nasdaq slid 2.8% on the early bout of bad news. But the tech-rich index rallied, closing at the top of its intraday range with a 4.4% gain.

The NYSE indexes also rebounded. The S&P 500 jumped 3.6%, the NYSE composite 3.2% and the Dow industrials 3.1%. Small caps fared best, as the S&P 600 surged 4.3%.

Volume swelled 7% on the Nasdaq and 10% on the NYSE, compared with Thursday's totals.

Those gains pared weekly losses for the major indexes in what was an encouraging five-day stretch. For the week, the Nasdaq composite eased 1.7%, the Dow 2.2%, the S&P 500 2.3% and the NYSE composite 3.5%. The S&P 600 fell 2.5%.

This past week featured a raft of troubling economic news.

The U.S. auto industry, facing the prospect of collapse, begged the government for a $34 billion bailout. Retailers reported mostly weak same-store sales results for November. Factories continued to report widespread contraction.

But Friday's monthly jobs report was the most alarming headline of the week. Employers slashed 533,000 jobs in November. That was the biggest drop since 1974, and far above the 325,000 cuts predicted by economists.

Job losses also were revised higher for September and October. That raised the three-month decline to 1.3 million, the largest such loss total since World War II.

In the first 11 months of 2008, 1.9 million jobs have been lost. That tops the 1.6 million losses during the recession and 9/11 year of 2001.

Meanwhile, the unemployment rate climbed to 6.7% in November, up from 6.5% in the previous month. That was below the 6.8% figure projected by economists, but still the highest level in 15 years.

So here we have historically awful employment numbers, added to weak consumer spending, plunging consumer confidence, contracting manufacturing and a broader global recession. And yet, the stock market on Friday rallied sharply.

This brings up an important question: If news this bad doesn't derail stocks, what kind of news will it take to knock this market down?

Indeed, the past week marked a notable reversal for the market. For months, stocks had plunged at any sign of bad news, as a correction gained steam and whacked most industries.

But this past week brought impressive resilience from the broad indexes, coupled with big price gains after a Monday plunge.

Tuesday marked a follow-through day for the market. As noted in The Big Picture, a follow-through can signal a change in character and direction for the major indexes.

It's important, though, to see both those indexes and leading stocks build gains in healthy volume to confirm the market's strength.

That's just what we got. Wednesday and Friday delivered two more days of accumulation — buying by big-money institutional investors. Thursday was a down day for the market, but lighter volume softened that impact.

Growth investors should use this time to build a watch list of leading stocks. Monday's edition of IBD features The IBD 100, packed with charts and analyses of some of the market's top-performing stocks.

The IBD 100 index, which serves as a proxy for the action of those leaders, jumped 3.2% Friday. It slid 2.5% for the week.

Thoratec (THOR) gapped up 3.40 to 28.15 in more than triple its regular volume. Brokerage firm Lazard announced that Thoratec released positive interim trial data from its ventricular assist HeartMate II device. The report implied that a release earlier than the expected May 2009 timeline might be possible.

Shares of Thoratec are approaching a possible 29.60 buy point in a double-bottom base.

A handful of highly rated stocks had a tougher time.

Axsys Technologies (AXYS) sank 1.71 to 65.70 in nearly twice its normal trade. The maker of optical and motion control systems pared back earlier, deeper losses. Still, the stock's Wednesday breakout has failed.

Axsys trades about 240,000 shares a day. Stocks with such low liquidity are often ignored by fund managers, making them vulnerable to wider swings. Seek out stocks that trade at least 400,000 shares a day.
