Can the Stock Market and Gold Keep Rising? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: John_Townsend
The stock market, we know, moves from one emotional extreme to the other. Fear to greed, back to fear then greed, and so on.
And a good stock trader should always be asking him/herself, are we at an extreme and if so, which one?

Is Gold About To Rocket and SP500 Tank Video / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Last week we saw stocks move sharply higher as traders started to cover their short position which added fuel to an already oversold market ready to bounce. Overall volume was not that strong on the move up which is a bearish sign. On Friday afternoon we saw the SP500 continue to move into the $1075 resistance level on very light volume. This indicates to me that buyers are not willing to pay these higher prices because the market has moved up so quickly and the fact that it’s trading at a resistance level.

Stock Market Recovery or Trap Door? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The economy may cool as consumers spend less.
(Bloomberg) Economists trimmed their U.S. growth forecasts through the middle of next year, though not enough to show the recovery is in danger of faltering.
Growth in the world’s largest economy will average 2.8 percent from the current quarter through the second quarter of 2011, according to the median estimate of 52 economists surveyed from July 1 to July 8, down 0.1 percentage point from last month.

Currencies, Crude Oil and Emerging Stock Markets Moves to Build On / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Ciovacco
Last week, we mentioned stocks could surprise by year-end. Some hopeful signs supporting that thesis are being given in the commodity, currency, and stock markets. Specifically, recent moves in the U.S. dollar, crude oil, Australian dollar, S&P 500, emerging markets, and Sweden provide some additional evidence a double-dip recession is not as likely as some believe.

Investor Opportunities via the Intensifying Challenges / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“At the moment Germany is pushing its neighbors into deflation; this threatens a long phase of stagnation, leading to nationalism, social unrest, and zenophobia. It endangers democracy.” - George Soros, Die Zeit, 6/23/10
“How about the bill does nothing to break-up the concentration of banking power in this country. The too-big-to-fail banks and other systemically dangerous institutions, that just got bigger with the help of government, are nuclear bombs. And not only that, they are crowding out more productive community banks that won't be able to compete with the giants who want to destroy them…

Stocks, Commodities and Economy, Baltic Dry Index points to …? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Brian_Bloom
The chart below – courtesy http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=BDIY:IND – shows that freight prices per ton of dry materials such as iron ore have been falling.
Of course, the chart could just as easily rise as it could continue to fall. This is not a chart of something which is the subject of financial speculation. Therefore, it does not lend itself to technical interpretation.

EXTEND & PRETEND: Stage I Comes to an End
The dog ate the report card
Both came to an end at the same time: the administration’s policy to Extend & Pretend has run out of time as has the patience of the US electorate with the government’s Keynesian economic policy responses. Desperate last gasp attempts are to be fully expected, but any chance of success is rapidly diminishing.

U.S. Stock Market Sliding Over The Cliff, Crisis Redux Road To Perdition / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Jim_Willie_CB
Time to awaken to a new dreadful reality. Just like autumn 2008, all over again, the stock market is breaking down in a powerful visible manner, after nothing was fixed with the vast financial structures but much money was spent. If only the USGovt had decided to address the problems instead of funding the myriad liquidity facilities, which by the way serve as a virtual banking system. If only the USGovt had decided to address the problems instead of funding the US Federal Reserve equity reserves, as in excess bank reserve lures. If only the USGovt had decided to address the problems instead of funding the bank preferred stock and bank executive bonuses. If only the USGovt had decided to address the fundamental need for capital formation toward job growth instead of simple extensions of jobless benefits.

Stock Market SP-500, GLD and GDX, Down More or Now Up? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: John_Townsend
Its mid afternoon Tuesday and the markets are selling off – still. It seems like it will never end. Big red candles on every chart I look. The VIX, the temperature gauge of fear, is rising again and the news headlines are filled with gut wrenching uncertainties about US Municipals, foreign countries that are characterized as ticking time bombs and opinion that we are headed for another Great Depression.Read full article...

Key Financial and Commodity Markets Pointing to More Economic Pain Ahead / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Bryan_Rich
In the past two weeks, we’ve seen China de-peg its currency from the dollar, the UK roll out historical fiscal austerity measures and Japan release details on a plan to tackle its massive debt load.
The knee-jerk market reaction to these events was positive … i.e. interpreted as a positive influence on economic growth and a bullish cue for risk appetite.

Stocks Bear Market Triggered 90% Probability Target / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Employment fell for the first month this year. -
(Bloomberg) Employment fell in June for the first time this year, reflecting a drop in federal census workers and a smaller-than-forecast gain in private hiring.
Payrolls declined by 125,000 last month as the government cut 225,000 temporary workers conducting the 2010 census, Labor Department figures in Washington showed today. Economists projected a decline of 130,000 payrolls, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey. Employment at companies rose 83,000. The jobless rate fell to 9.5 percent from 9.7 percent as the labor force shrank.

Investor Profit and Gold Protection, Banking Cartel Market Manipulation Intervention Update / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: DeepCaster_LLC
Is the gold price being manipulated? There are those who say no, while others say yes - notably The Gold Anti Trust Association (GATA) - and on balance it looks to an impartial observer (relatively) that the answer is probably in the affirmative. But perhaps no more so than any other commodities and some stock prices. There is a whole mammoth industry out there - the big banks, hedge funds etc. - whose whole purpose is to make money from money and the more you have in the first place the easier it is to do. Not by producing anything useful, but through manipulation of prices through short selling in huge volumes to drive prices down, buying on the turn, allowing prices to rise back up, taking profits, then more short selling to drive prices down again and the cycle continues. This works better in a bull market, which gold has been in for the past ten years or so.

Stock Market Breaks Neckline, Gold Trending to Below $1200 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
U.S. stocks fell, extending the market’s first quarterly retreat in more than a year, after Moody’s
Investors Service’s warning that it may downgrade Spain snuffed out an earlier rally.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index fell 1.1 percent to 1,030.11 at 3:45 p.m. in New York. It has
declined 12 percent since March 31, breaking a four-quarter winning streak that drove the
benchmark index for U.S. stocks up 47 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 115.44
points, or 1.2 percent, to 9,754.86.

Financial Markets Meltdown, Stocks SPX, Gold, Silver and Crude Oil / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
What a nutty week for the equities market! The bleeding has not led up with almost 2 weeks of straight selling. Also we are seeing oil break down with a rather large bear flag and if that happens, which it looks like it will… then hold on tight or cash out of the market!
There has been nothing but negative news for the past month and its not looking like there is much light at the end of the tunnel for a long time still… The only places which people feel some safety is in gold and silver. That being said the market is way over sold here and we could get a bounce lasting a couple days soon. But that bounce will be sold and pulled back down as it looks like a new bear market is starting.
