Strengthening U.S. Dollar To Send Gold and Stock Market Lower / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Lorimer_Wilson
Dr. Nu Yu writes: Technical analyses suggest that the U.S. dollar index could well see resurgence in the short term with both gold and the various U.S. stock markets undergoing +5% corrections while the Chinese stock market rebounding from last week’s set-back on its way to record levels. Let me explain in detail:

Protect Your Wealth, Your Money Could Be Worth 39% Less Than You Think! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Larry_Edelson
These days it seems that almost everyone I know is playing it ultra safe in their investments. Generally, that’s a good thing that I whole-heartedly endorse.
But with Washington and the Federal Reserve hell bent on devaluing the dollar — and succeeding at it — being safe with your investments is one of the most dangerous, riskiest things you can do.

U.S. Dollar Continues to Control Gold, Crude Oil and Stocks / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Over the past few months it seems as though everything has been tied to the dollar. Simple inter-market analysis makes it obvious that almost everything in the financial market eventually has an affect on stocks and commodities in some way. But recently trading has really been all about the dollar. If you watch the SP500 and gold prices you will notice at times virtually every tick the dollar makes directly affects the price and direction of gold and the SP500 index.

Health-Care Realities, The Chinese Renminbi is Going Down, Not Up / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010

Health-Care Realities
The Chinese Renminbi is Going Down, Not Up
First, Let's Lower the Bar
They Need to Borrow How Much? Really?
Irish Eyes Are Not Smiling
China's currency is rising ever so slowly against the dollar. But is that hurting China? We will look at a very interesting chart and some research. And then we'll gain some more insight into why the employment numbers seemed to surprise. I guess if you lower the bar, it's easier to jump over. I also deal with the pushback from last week's Outside the Box! And Ireland is on my radar. There is a lot to cover, so let's jump in.

Stock Market Intermediate Term Decline Underway / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Steven_Vincent
I've been seeing technical divergences for weeks now and so far no real pullback has resulted. The major indices have now taken out the April highs and have been trading at those levels for about a week now. As a result there are now across the board technical divergences within the context of the rise off the August bottom as well as divergences between the April high and current prices.

G20 Summit, Yet Another Global Cluster F*ck / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
Why should we be surprised?
The last G20 meeting ended in chaos, the same nonsense that triggered a flight into commodities in Q3 as Global investors lost faith in ALL of the World leaders to be able to solve ANY of the many problems that face the Global Economy. Why should this time be different as the current conference broke up with NOTHING accomplished other than to promise to get right on these issues at next year's meeting. REALLY? Do we look like a planet that has another 6 months to wait for you to do something???

U.S. Dollar, Gold & SP500 Index Trend Trading Forecasts / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
It has been a roller coaster week thus far as stocks and precious metals plunged on heavy selling volume on the back of a rising dollar, only to make a strong rebound Wednesday. While there has been significant intraday price movement, it was no surprise to us as we have been anticipating this pullback since discussing it in my Sunday Gold Newsletter.
Let’s take a quick look at the charts…

Gold Problem? Stock Market Internals are Terrible / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Anthony_J_Stills
Yesterday we saw some commotion and upheaval in a number of markets including gold and silver, the US dollar, the bonds, commodities and even stocks to a lesser degree. The turmoil in the gold and silver pits was attributed to the fact that they raised the margin required for silver futures contracts.

U.S. Dollar, Euro, Gold, Silver, and VIX Poised For Trend Reversals / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Ciovacco
Numerous factors and markets are telling us the odds of short-to-intermediate-term reversals are elevated for numerous markets including silver (SLV), gold (GLD), the U.S. dollar (UUP), the euro (FXE), stocks (SPY), and the VIX (VXX). The objective of both fundamental and technical analysis of the financial markets is to help us better understand the risk-reward ratio and relative attractiveness of a wide variety of investments. Since no chart or annual report can help us predict the future, our study of markets deals in probable outcomes.

Gold, U.S. Dollar and Bonds Set the Stage / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Jim_Farrish
The market made the move through resistance at the April highs. Now what? The headlines have been full of opinions relative to the economy, the dollar, metals and geopolitical issues. One thing is certain about money, there is never a shortage of opinions. The challenge comes in filtering through the noise and looking for the opportunities. When I started investing money a mentor told me a quote he had learned, “stocks never sell for what they are worth, but what people think they are worth!” It is still on my desk as a reminder that no matter how smart you think you are, the reality of stock prices boils down to opinion.Read full article...

Fed Inflationary Money Printing Propels Stocks 'Stealth' Bull Market to New High / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The Fed pumped market participants full of $600 Billion of fresh QE2 testosterone that sent stocks into a euphoric rally to a new bull market closing high of Dow 11,444, which apparently has major medical consequences for the mainstream press and BlogosFear due to the general outbreak of amnesia as to the commentary that had transpired during the preceding 6 months of deflation, depression, double dips and the bear market rally's always imminent end.

Stocks Soar on Fed Policy But Financial and Sovereign Debt Crisis Have Not Gone Away / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Steve_Betts
Lost in all the election and Fed hoopla are the problems in Ireland. The yield on Irish debt is surging and the share price for Bank of Ireland stock is plummeting. Ireland, like it or not, is going the way of Greece. As of Friday the yield for Irish debt stands at close to 8% and that's about 2.5% more than you would pay for a home loan in the United States. With respect to the Bank of Ireland shares lost almost 15% of their value on Friday and, as you can see below, and the share price has been cut in half over the last two months:

Stock Market Extrreme Bullish Sentiment, Oil Breakout and Gold Rocket / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The financial markets continue to climb the wall of worry on the back of more Fed Quantitative Easing. Those trying to pick a top in this choppy bull market may prove to be correct for a couple hours but over time the shorts continue to get clobbered.
Quantitative easing was enough to turn gold back up and gave oil just enough of a nudge to breakout of its cup and handle pattern explained later.

Don’t Fight the Fed / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Joseph_Toronto
Does this rule still really apply?
Comparisons of economic conditions of today with those of the Great Depression abound, as well as comparisons with Japan’s “lost decades”, most implying that we are doomed to a repeat of those woeful eras. We know of course that the Fed did everything wrong in the 30′s and made things worse. Beginning in 1990, the Bank of Japan did everything right but it did no good. Why would this time around be any different?

Finance — A Dysfunctional System / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Barry_Elias
In 1993, I commented to a colleague that the market seemed to be appreciating more rapidly than the underlying dynamics would suggest.

Inflationary Thursday - Benny Drops the Big One! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).
That was the actual military policy of the United States of America and the rest of the World for about 30 years. We had Presidents and Kings and thousands of bureaucrats - the top minds of 2 generations - all getting together on a regular basis and coming up with or buying into insanity like the system on the right. We look back at it now and say "Gee, what were we thinking" but the whole World went down this path for a while.

Stock and Commodity Market's Bullish Reaction to QE2 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Ciovacco
One day does not make a trend, but sometimes early leadership after an event like the November 3rd QE2 announcement holds for the next leg up in asset prices. The early read after the first hour and forty-five minutes in the new QE2 world is bullish. With markets extended and sentiment getting a little on the giddy side, a correction could come at anytime. Given what we know as of the November 3rd close, the odds favor risk assets making higher highs before we turn the page on 2010. If a correction comes, it should represent a buying opportunity. Early leaders include the NASDAQ (QQQQ) and emerging market stocks (EEM).

Republican Midterm Election Victories Could Sink Stocks and Bonds / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Shah Gilani writes: Markets have rallied on the belief that resounding Republican victories in yesterday's (Tuesday's) midterm elections will reset Washington agendas and lead to more business-friendly policies.
However, market participants may be surprised to find that the successful pursuit of three major Republican principles could initially sink stocks and bonds before creating a base from which they might rally later in 2011.
