Stocks Bear Market Rally at Cross Roads / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Chris_Ciovacco
Even after the current "powerful rally", the S&P 500 is still down over 12% YTD , something to keep in mind if you feel we are missing something. All we have missed year-to-date is a 12% loss. Bear markets always give people a reason to stick around. Yesterday , we commented, ...rather than signaling the end of the bear market, the more probable outcome for the current rally in the S&P 500 is for it to fail somewhere between current levels and 806. This rally may have further to run, but Wednesday's high on the S&P 500 was 803. Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Investing Buy and Hold vs. The Right Time to Buy / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Hans_Wagner
Many investors were taught that buy and hold is the best investing strategy. None other than Professor Jeremy Siegel author of Stocks for the Long Run, 4th Edition: The Definitive Guide to Financial Market Returns And Long Term Investment Strategies is a strong proponent of the buy and hold approach support this method. In a recent editorial in the Wall Street Journal, stating that stocks were cheap now and investors should buy.

Stock Market Volume Gives Shorts The Upper Hand / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Chris_Ciovacco
Rather than signaling the end of the bear market, the more probable outcome for the current rally in the S&P 500 is for it to fail somewhere between current levels and 806. Trading volume can help us understand market participants' collective desire to buy or sell a particular security or index. To formulate probable outcomes for the current rally in stocks, we will compare the S&P 500 long ETF (SPY) with the S&P 500 short ETF (SH). As we walk through this analysis, notice we are focusing on observable facts rather than forecasting what the future may hold. We assume we will get more of the same (lower lows in SPY/S&P 500 Index) until we see evidence to the contrary (higher highs, better volume, etc).

Stock Market P/E Ratios could fall to 5 Before the Market Hits Bottom / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: FleetStreetInvest
Measured in terms of the price to earnings ratio (P/E), the US stock market looks good value. That's if you look at recent history and how the market was priced in previous recessions. At the market bottom in 2001, for example, the P/E ratio of the US S&P 500 index was around 20. In the 1990-1991 recession, that figure was around 15.

Stocks Bear Market Has not Bottomed But Some Stocks Worth Buying / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: MoneyWeek
The FTSE 100 rose sharply yesterday, buoyed up by increased optimism on the banking sector.
And quite a few high profile names have been saying it's time to buy. Anthony Bolton has been calling the bottom (though not for the first time), while famously bearish US fund manager Jeremy Grantham has become increasingly upbeat on stocks in recent months.

This is a Stocks Bear Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Paul_J_Nolte
It seems as all investors are from Missouri, the show-me state, inasmuch as they would like to embrace the latest run in stocks, they are leery that another break is just around the corner. Spurring stocks higher were commends from a variety of banks that they were profitable in the early months of the year (this does not include any nasty write-downs of toxic debt!). With a yield curve as steep as it is, it really should be of little surprise that “regular” banking is profitable – pay little for CDs and make loans at four percentage points more.Read full article...

The Grand Super-Cycle SPX Technical Conditions / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Captain_Hook
Throw Mama From The Train – a funny and entertaining movie depending on who you are. But more so in terms of present circumstances in the stock market – a reflection of what we must live with right now as well. Mama was demeaning and aggravating in the movie, just like the market(s) in real life today. And unfortunately it's enough to make people throw their sensibilities away. In this respect everybody is so worried about missing a rally out of oversold conditions they keep gambling it's going to bounce, which does not allow for a sustainable squeeze higher. That's why stocks can't rally, because the trade is stubborn, complacent and bullish. This is of course a function of the spoiled brat mentality excessively good times for too long will foster. Thank you again, Mr. Greenspan. Read full article... Read full article...

Stocks Bull-market Rally or Bear-market Fake? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Money_Morning
William Patalon III writes: It came right down to the wire, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day Friday with its first four-day rally since November, ending the week with a gain of 9.0%. And despite that robust performance, the Dow was the laggard among the three major U.S. stock indices. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index soared 10.6% while the broader Standard & Poor's 500 Index edged it with a weekly gain of 10.7%.Read full article... Read full article...

Will the Stocks Bear Market Continue to Reign? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Regent_Markets
There were genuine signs of emerging optimism in stock markets last week. Confidence has been largely absent so far in 2009, with every attempted rallysquashed before it really had chance to get going. There is a growing sense that this time round things are different, and this belief will only grow further, if markets can survive the next week or so without dropping too far below last Thursday’s low. The next few weeks could be a real test. If markets are able to maintain these levels without giving up too much ground, then more buyers might come out of hiding and the recovery could gain momentum.

By: Prieur_du_Plessis
Global stock markets surged over the past four days as investors adopted a more positive view of the prospects for the beleaguered financial sector and shrugged aside gloom about the economy. Citigroup (C) on Tuesday said it had turned a profit from operations for January and February (BUT did not mention credit losses, toxic paper, derivatives, etc.). JPMorgan (JPM) and Bank of America (BAC) later made similar comments. Read full article... Read full article...

Stocks Bear Market Takes a Break as Dow Targets 8,000 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Oxbury_Research
Wall Street breathes a temporary sigh of relief, rallying for three rare days in a row now. Capital infusion for banks, upbeat news from Citigroup of a profitable year-to-date and a General Electric credit rating cut that was less dramatic than previously anticipated have all contributed to a Dow poised to take advantage of all the money market funds sitting on the sidelines. Valuations are becoming more and more appealing to the average investor out there. The chops are indeed being licked… Read full article... Read full article...

Stocks Bull Market of Bear Market Rally? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: For many investors, the last 12 months have felt like a cross between Dante's “ Ninth Circle of Hell ” and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Even so, after Tuesday's market action - which saw the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rebound from a 12-year low to gain 6.4%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average jump 5.8% - many investors are no doubt wondering if it's time to pile in.
