Stock Market Relief Rally Beckons? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
The calendar was crowded yesterday with an ECB meeting and a number of key US data releases, but market movements were tempered as participants remain sidelined ahead of today’s Sultan of all statistics, the US payrolls report.

More crucially though the private sector actually added 67k jobs & there were chunky positive revisions to the previous two months data. An big up day ahead of the long US Labour day weekend looks in prospect at the off.

Stock Market Nominal Low is Behind Us! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
BIG PICTURE – Global stock markets are in a multi-year bull-market and nominal prices are likely to appreciate for several more months. In our view, we are currently amidst a normal multi-week consolidation phase and most stock markets are likely to stage a sharp year-end advance.
Look. We know that the developed economies are in trouble and they are unlikely to improve anytime soon. For instance, unemployment remains stubbornly high, deficits are spiralling out of control and debt levels are unprecedented. At first glance, things do look dire but we still believe that nominal stock prices will continue to rise.

Two Ways to Protect Your Retirement Portfolio From a Falling Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
One of the oldest methods of protecting your retirement money is by spreading risk out among different stocks and sectors. While this may be a partially effective way of mitigating the risk of a major drawdown in your account, it does NOT ensure success. In fact, in a broad market sell-off, you may see several sectors moving lower at the same time, similar to what we've experienced over the past couple months.

Stock Markets Treading Water After a Big Up Day / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010

Stock Market Crash, Bull or Bear? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010

Today, we had a strong move covering the gap resistance and the market closed right at its high and the 50 day MA. Above the 50 day MA is the next hurdle. MACD and RSI are turning up to support price.

ISM Manufacturing Sets Market On Fire..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
Good news from overseas (China) gave our market a lift with regards to the futures over night. Economy there is doing very well. Our markets held on to their gains as things opened up, but there was a real headache staring us in the face once we got thirty minutes in to the trading day in the form of the big manufacturing report. The market did not want to see a number under 50 which is the dividing line between contraction and expansion. 55.2 was the number the previous month. We got 56.4. The market loved it. Showed we are still not double dipping at the moment.

How the Stock Market and Economy Really Work / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
Kel Kelly writes: The stock market does not work the way most people think. A commonly held belief — on Main Street as well as on Wall Street — is that a stock-market boom is the reflection of a progressing economy: as the economy improves, companies make more money, and their stock value rises in accordance with the increase in their intrinsic value. A major assumption underlying this belief is that consumer confidence and consequent consumer spending are drivers of economic growth.

Stock Markets Pare Losses On Housing Data / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
As I warned yesterday double dip fears returned to trump the temporary respite from Bernanke’s holding exercise at Jackson Hole & a flurry of M&A activity following yet more disappointing economic data which showed weaker than expected growth in US household personal income sending. This all helped push US equity indices to a 1.1% loss Monday. The 1020 area on the S&P 500 remains the key level to watch as this is the point from which we bounced back in early July. A break there I feel would see the market push substantially lower.
