Small caps plummet; CFNB, WMCO and SFSF lead gainers

The Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) fell hard today, as investors worried that a new plan to rescue a teetering banking system might be “too little, too late” to stave off a deepening recession or unclog credit lines. Some of today’s small-cap gainers were California First National Bancorp (Nasdaq:CFNB), Williams Controls (Nasdaq:WMCO) and SuccessFactors (Nasdaq:SFSF).

Other Market Watch highlights today included:

• U.S. stocks were seen opening lower, pulled down by losses overseas as the market waits for updates on the fiscal stimulus vote and on the bank bailout details.
• Copper prices and shares of copper miners were on the defensive overnight, a caution sign as copper is considered a key economic indicator.
• The wholesale inventories report came in at minus 1.4%, which was a bigger drop than forecast. 
• Small-cap stocks plunged as investors engaged in a “buy-the-rumor, sell-the-fact” response to the official rollout of the bank bailout plan
• Bernanke said that financial markets were frozen over about the economy and hinted that there was a risk for stagflation if the banking system is not fixed.
• With investors fleeing stocks today and scrambling for safe-haven outlets, money clearly moved into Treasury products.
• Crude oil futures in New York eventually closed down 5.5%, or $2.21, to $37.35 a barrel and energy stocks sank some 4.5% on the day.
• Given the focus on bank rescue news today, bank stocks were the worst performers today, with the KBW Banking Index tumbling 13%.
• Almost all of S&P sector groups were in the negative today. Even gold, . . .

Russell 2000 sees green

The Russell 2000 (NYSE: IWM) and the other major U.S. indices opened in positive territory on good economic news and an upbeat forecast from Wal-Mart.

At 10:16 a.m. ET, the small-cap index had added 4.52 points, or 0.53%, to 849.71. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU) had advanced 77.39 points, or 0.55%, to 14,156.08.

Retailers posted generally weak same-store results for September due to unusually warm weather that stalled sales of cold-weather merchandise. Among small-cap retailers, Gottschalks Inc. (NYSE: GOT) and department store chain The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. (Nasdaq: BONT) reported same-store sales declines of 3.9% and 6.5%, respectively. Meanwhile, home accessories retailer Tuesday Morning Corp. (Nasdaq: TUES) missed analysts’ projected first-quarter sales forecast.

However, the bulls seized on news that Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE: WMT) raised its third-quarter profit outlook despite second-quarter results that came in at the low end of its expectations.

In economic news, jobless claims for the week ended Oct. 6 fell by 12,000 to a level of 308,000, according to the U.S. Labor Department.

Elsewhere, U.S. import prices rose in September due to more expensive oil and food, but August U.S. exports increased 0.4% to $138.34 billion, while imports fell 0.4% to $195.92 billion. The Commerce Department also reported that the U.S. trade deficit contracted 2.4% to $57.59 billion in August, from $59.00 billion a month earlier.
