After Bernanke Bump, Buy the Dip

A few opportunities should arise after stock indices hit all-time highs on remarks from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, David Gerstenhaber of Argonaut Capital Management said Thursday.

"I think you have to buy the dip that you get out of the market at this point," he said on CNBC's "Fast Money."

"But what Bernanke did last night was important. He came on and he essentially said, 'Look, you guys have misunderstood what I've been trying to communicate to you.

"The tapering is not going to happen as powerfully and as quickly as we believe. We need to separate tapering from tightening. You need to understand that short-term interest rates aren't going up anytime soon.' And I think that's what the market took relief from."

Gerstenhaber said that signals that the Fed would continue its $85 billion-per-month asset purchases would through the end of 2015 presented a few opportunities.

He was bullish on euro/dollar futures and on equities.

And although U.S. Treasury bills had seen a sell-off, "we know that it's going to be higher in yield looking out a year than it is now," Gerstenhaber added. "Probably 100 basis points."

"The market priced in significant tightening earlier, and that really got the Fed quite upset, based on our understanding of what was going on down in Washington, and this was an opportunity for Bernanke to walk back that tightening, and he did, and you got a response out of the front end of the bond market this morning," he said.
