Stock Market Strength, Optimism Continues Into Year-end / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Donald_W_Dony
Global stock markets have surged since the corrective low in early September. Many world equity indexes have pegged double digit returns in less than 10 weeks. The two most watched indexes, the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, have also kept pace with the global advance by leaping 15.4% and 12.5% respectively. Yet this positive performance has many investors worried. With conflicting economic data plus generally upbeat Q3 earnings, can the markets continue their climb?

Finally A Stock Market Catalyst?... Cisco Earnings..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
The one thing that has been missing for the bears in order to get this market moving lower is a catalyst. The up trend is so locked in place that it needs something to turn the tide in their favor. That has been a struggle for sure. The ISM Report was better than expected as was the Jobs Report last Friday. No catalyst. The market has tried to sell off from severe levels of overbought but has been unable to with any force. Tonight it has a catalyst. Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO) reported earnings.

Monster Reversal In Stocks, Commodities, and the US Dollar in the Works? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Mac_Slavo
The last couple of weeks have been quite eventful for economists and world leaders. First, Ben Bernanke announced the much anticipated next phase of US strategy to get the economy back on its feet, even though the recession has been over for many months and recovery is purported to be in full swing. The Bernanke Plan, to no one’s surprise, entails more monetization of US debt and further injections of liquidity into the system. To the chagrin of Nobel Prize winning economists like Paul Krugman, the announced $600 billion just isn’t going to be enough.

Stock Market 90-Day Cycle Looking for a Correction / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jim_Curry
In a prior article, I made note of the fact that the larger uptrend was firmly established into the Spring of 2011 (or beyond), with the four-year cycle looking to peak at some point between April and July of next year. In-between, for the shorter-term I mentioned that there was a 90-day (18-20 week) cycle that was due to peak sometime around mid-November (plus or minus). In terms of price, a test or push above the April high of 1219.80 SPX CASH was favored to materialize on or before this cycle turned south, which is obviously what we have seen with the recent action.

Stock Market Remains Firm At Overbought But Slowly Unwinding Levels / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
What can I say about this market. It is resilient beyond words. And it is somewhat surprising when you consider just how overbought we are on those daily charts. We started off with selling today, and it looked like things could finally be coming together with respects to more sustained selling. The Dow was closing in on 100 points, which is nothing really, but at least a start. That didn't last long though. The market started to slowly, but surely, come back from the early deeper selling. No great move higher, but enough to take away the edge from the bears. The bears have to be wondering what will it take to get this puppy moving lower. I wonder as well.

Is the Stock Market Pullback Already Finished? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Mike_Paulenoff
All of the action off of Friday's high at 1224.50 in the emini S&P 500 exhibits corrective form, which "warns" us that when it is complete another upleg should be forthcoming that thrusts the e-SPZ to new highs projected into the 1232-1240 target zone.

Stock Market Powering Ahead With Significant Momentum / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Christopher_Quigley
The market continues to power ahead with significant momentum. The Dow 30 Industrials, the Dow 20 Transports, the S & P 500 and the NASDAQ 100 all are taking wind from a new quantitative easing policy, extended Bush tax breaks and positive earnings guidance. In addition Wall Street likes the idea that Democrats and Republicans must work together and compromise following the mid-term Congressional elections.

Stock Market At Critical Juncture / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes:
Stocks rose gently like heat waves off a radiator over the past week, as traders guessed, assessed and processed the results of the midterm elections and the Federal Reserve's decision to try to light a fire under the U.S. economy by buying a $75-billion pile of fresh, new Treasury bonds every 30 days for the next eight months.

Stock Market Incredibly Resilient......Financials Finally Participate... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
What can I say about this market. It is resilient beyond words. The degree of overbought not mattering for the time being. We're more than a bit overbought here folks. It's at extremes. Many daily RSI's in the 80's. Everything 70 or higher. Stochastics are pushed near the top. The problem for selling is this is a buy the dip market that needs a catalyst to have more sustained selling. News that would stop the bulls from buying any and all dips. We certainly had our chances to find a strong catalyst for the week.

The Most Interesting Stock Market Chart of the Week / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jared_Levy
I thought Friday would be the perfect time to bring you a bit of technical analysis insight. This week's stock market chart just blew me away when I saw it and thought it would be a great candidate. Adobe systems, the Silicon Valley software creator, should not only be known as the creator of PDF's and flash players, but maybe also for the enormous and frequent "gaps" in its stock price.

Jessie Livermore and the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Clif_Droke
The legend and romance surrounding the famed stock plunger Jessie Livermore has long held a fascination among traders. Livermore has become somewhat of a cult in recent years and there are several books that purport to reveal his secrets for making a fortune in the stock market. None of them can hold a candle to the book which Livermore himself commissioned (written by journalist Edwin LeFevre) entitled Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.

The Fed Bubble Making Machine Is Cranking Up! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Sy_Harding
The Federal Reserve has cranked up the bubble-machine again, pumping up opportunities as well as risk.
In doing so it is on the wrong side of the economic cycle again, as it so often has been in the past, beginning to ease too late to prevent recessions, and then continuing to ease too long after recoveries are underway, creating bubbles.

Stock Market Federally Funded Friday / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
I feel like I’m driving in a gasoline truck at a 100 mph and towards a brick wall, says Brian Kelly. And Ben Bernanke just lit a match. I can’t help but worry that this ends badly. - Fast Money's Brian Kelly
I also remain skeptical, adds Steve Cortes. The unanimous opinion sees to be the market can not go lower and I find it reminiscent of the rhetoric we heard right before the tech bubble burst. I want to know what the Fed sees that’s so dire that it’s required them to take drastic steps, muses Guy Adami. I guess it doesn’t matter because the market just wants to go higher. But the market action has the feeling to me of a blow-off top. I don’t know when it ends, but I suspect it ends extraordinarily badly.

Stock Market S&P 500 May Be Headed to 1,256 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Chris_Ciovacco
Friday’s better than expected employment report aligns well with the market’s post-QE2 interpretation the economy is in a little better shape than most believe. Now that mid-terms, QE2, and the employment report are in the rearview mirror, it is a good time to catch our breath and discern what may be in store over the next week or two.

Stock Market Mid-Term Election Rallies Analysis / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Zeal_LLC
The highly-anticipated 2010 mid-term elections are finally over, a huge relief if you hate politics and government meddling in our lives as much as I do. Now that the American people have fired the arrogant politicians who refused to listen to the will of their tax-paying constituents, we can get back to focusing on the financial markets. So how do the stock markets tend to perform after mid-term elections?

Stock Market BubbleOmics: S&P 500 Race to 1,300 by Christmas? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Andrew_Butter
Well it’s nice to see that Ben has managed to un-leash some good-old-fashioned Irrational Exuberance with the latest round of Quantitative Easing. That’s something that’s been sadly missing over the past few years…I wonder why?
It’s probably good news too that he has apparently given up on his strategy to persuade people to buy AAA rated collateralized debt obligations lovingly crafted by Goldman Sachs, by creating a “market” and of course a “mark-to-market”. That didn’t work very well because sadly, most people figured out that if the Sucker of Last Resort is the only player in town (as in the Wall Street line “the value of something is what you can sell it for to some poor sucker dumber than you”), well that doesn’t actually constitute a “market”.

Stock Market Huge Up-Session, although Nasdaq Trails / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a huge up-day today, gapping up big time at the opening, pulling back slightly early on, and then reaching the session highs on the Nasdaq 100 early in the morning. After that they moved sideways, just slightly lower on the NDX and slightly higher on the S&P 500. Late in the day the SPX surged to new highs, but the NDX failed to confirm, possibly setting up a negative divergence, but we'll see if there's any follow-through on the NDX to confirm tomorrow.
