In the end, they had to sell stock to take in stock. That's what it felt like to me. The big boys were selling banks to buy a cheaper bank -- Bank of America (BAC - commentary - Trade Now) -- and selling stocks because of an S&P rebalancing. I don't think the selling was anything but mechanical.
Of course there will not be "enough already" until all of the banks file deals, and there are more to go for certain, so we will have to deal with the ebb and flow of the supply. I found the Bank of America/Merrill Lynch big-money survey helpful, as it is clear that large mutual funds are indeed still underweighted in banks. At the same time, at the end of the day, this market started to feel bank toppy, and we could use some strong BAC pushes tomorrow morning, which I think we will get. All in all, this weak-dollar business, which is happening quickly, will produce higher numbers and more upgrades like we had today for McDonald's (MCD - commentary - Trade Now) and Procter & Gamble (PG - commentary - Trade Now). I am not sweating the program... At the time of publication, Cramer had no positions in stocks mentioned.
