Small-cap stocks remained lower into mid-session, pressured by worries over the economy following a dour report on the nation’s employment status. Energy shares and homebuilders were taking a hit today, which added to the bearish tilt. Still, the market bounced off the early lows as investors continue to bet that the worst of the recession news is already priced into the market. Some of today’s small-cap gainers are Repros Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:RPRX), VSE Corporation (Nasdaq:VSEC) and AZZ Incorporated (NYSE:AZZ).

Other Market Watch highlights today included:

•    The Russell 2000 has been hovering around the key 491 support line so far today; a decisive daily close either above or below that point would serve up some clues about near-term price direction.  
•    Losers were swamping winning themes, although gold and tobacco stocks were in positive territory.  
•    Retailers were also taking a hit, with apparel and accessory companies down hard again today.   Jan 09, 2009 12:40pm
•    Looking at sector activity so far today, technology stocks, energy firms, banking shares and homebuilders were pacing the declines.

• Repros Therapeutics, Inc. and VSE Corporation established new 52-week highs in early trading. (See Nasdaq:RPRX, Nasdaq:VSEC)

Small-cap stocks drifted lower, pulled down by concerns over sizable upward revisions in recent employment reports, which countered any upside glee when the headline non-farm figure was below “worst-case” scenarios. The market is now in a position today of working out whether this jobs report is already priced into the market, or reflects a little darker picture than current stock market valuations. Some of today’s small-cap gainers are Repros Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:RPRX), VSE Corporation (Nasdaq:VSEC) and AZZ Incorporated (NYSE:AZZ).

Other Market Watch highlights today included:

• The Russell 2000 chart picture continues in a sideway consolidation pattern. The market needs a decisive push above 514.50 or below 491 to suggest a breakout move is at hand.  
• Stock index futures saw a modest bounce as non-farm payroll declines were not as bad as the “whisper” numbers.  
• The employment report wasn’t as bad as feared, but it still generated a pullback in the U.S. dollar and a rise in gold.  
• U.S. stocks are expected to open near steady levels after this morning's jobs report.

Legislators hope to pass a revised version later this week of the $700 billion bailout plan that was rejected by Congress on Monday. After the bill was voted down, small-cap stocks posted their largest one-day decline of 2008 and closed down near 7%, as fears of a global financial pandemic triggered waves of selling on the news.

Within the small-cap realm, First Horizon National Corp. (NYSE:FHN) gained nearly one quarter of its value this morning after two analysts upgraded its stock and the company confirmed prior expectations for third-quarter results. FHN is currently up 32.7%.

Legislators are currently working to assuage investor anxiety and hope to pass a revised version of the bailout plan later this week. On Monday, small-cap stocks posted their largest one-day decline of 2008 and closed down near 7%, as fears of a global financial pandemic triggered waves of selling after Congress voted down the $700 billion rescue bill.
