Fast Money Recap: The Bulls Are Running

The Fed's big 50 point cut sparked stocks Tuesday, and the crew at CNBC's "Fast Money" discussed why the bulls are running -- and in particular, what it means for financial stocks.

Pete Najarian proposes that Tuesday's action was all about the financials. As example, he points to the

Financial Select Sector SPDR

(XLF) - Get Report

call options, where he saw a ton of volume. Jeff Macke advises that you can't be short financials now.

Guy Adami continues to like financials, especially after

Lehman Brothers

(LEH)

blew out the numbers. He feels that

Goldman Sachs

(GS) - Get Report

and

Morgan Stanley

(MS) - Get Report

will kill the numbers when they report. (

Take: Andrew White said recently, "Morgan Stanley shares will likely continue to push higher, based on higher highs in technical indicators -- including moving average convergence/divergence, on-balance volume and relative strength." To read more on what White said,

All Clear on Wall Street?

Did the Fed rate cut on Tuesday signal all is now clear for Wall Street and the credit problems?

CNBC's

Charlie Gasparino joined the crew to discuss if the brokers are a buy now. Gasparino feels confident about most of the brokers except

Bear Stearns

(BSC)

. He maintains that Bear is the least diversified and is too tied to the credit markets.

However, if you do buy Bear, you only buy it for a possible takeover. Bear is the wild card in the broker sector for Najarian. Gasparino thinks the worst is over for Lehman and that Goldman will benefit the most from trading and a rebound in M&A activity. Macke says he is now bullish on the brokers.

Oil Thanks the Fed

Crude oil hit another record touching $81.51 and gold traded to $735, its highest level in 27 years. Dennis Gartman, publisher of

The Gartman Letter,

joined the show to comment on the action in commodities. The Fed decision shocked Gartman and he indicated that the stock market would continue to climb higher.

The Fed decision makes it clear to Gartman that the Fed isn't fretting inflation, so gold and oil will continue to go higher. Gartman's best trade ideas are

Suncor Energy

(SU) - Get Report

and wheat.

Rate Cut Raises the Roof

The equity markets problems all began with concerns of poor lending practices in the housing market. Was the big rate cut on Tuesday a signal from Ben Bernanke that he will not let housing blow up?

Adami declares that housing stocks are back for a trade. He likes

Hovanian,

(HOV) - Get Report

which has 60% of the float short. (

Take: Jim Cramer said recently, "Toll Brothers should buy Hovnanian." To read more on what Cramer said,

Additionally, he recommends

Toll Brothers

(TOL) - Get Report

and

Pulte Homes

(PHM) - Get Report

for a trade. Finerman continues to speak highly of

Home Depot

(HD) - Get Report

, which she owns, for its cheap valuation. She has been wrong on HD so far, but she is sticking with it.

Word on the Street

Cummings

(CMI) - Get Report

and

Caterpillar

(CAT) - Get Report

exploded higher on the Fed cut. Najarian thinks that CAT has much more upside to come. (

RealMoney

Take: Jim Cramer said recently, "Caterpillar's on the move: natural to go out at $75, there I would buy the September 70 calls." To read more on what Cramer said,

Global Notes

Emerging markets like China and Brazil soared on the rate cut. Tim Seymour, Principal at Red Star Asset Management, joined the crew to discuss the emerging markets. Seymour likes gold and

Brazil ETF

(EWZ) - Get Report

.

Face2Face

The Fast Money team takes mail from viewers. Ken from Kansas writes, "What happened to the recommendation to get out of gold if the Fed dropped its rates?" Adami reiterated his bearish stance on gold.

Evan from Connecticut wants to know, "Should I sell my October $195 call options on

Goldman Sachs

(GS) - Get Report

now or is there still more upside?" Najarian feels strong about GS, but you should take half the position off before earnings.

Tory writes, "What is your outlook for

Tiffany's

(TIF) - Get Report

as the holiday season approaches?" Macke is positive about Tiffany's and

Blue Nile

(NILE)

. Macke says this stock is going over $100 and you have to be long it.
