Stock Market Plays With The 20's/50's........ / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
The market started out with a bid somewhat higher based on words from Intel Corporation (INTC) late yesterday. They said things look strong for years to come. How do they know that? They probably don't but that's what they said and thus we got a one hundred point reversal in the Dow futures overnight. After gapping up, it didn't take long for more good news to hit when International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) said they see massive earnings heading in to 2015. The stock jumped. The market jumped. The bears jumped. Up we went. The market maintained its bid all day closing right near the highs with solid internals led by technology stocks as a healthy market needs to. A solid day for the bulls but somehow it still feels very uneasy out there and that's probably a good sign overall.

Crisis Economics In USSR: Roubini Keeps His Dead Cat In The Bag / Economics / Stock Markets 2010
I noticed two links to Professor Roubini today. The first one was from February when he said that the S&P 500 will drift sideways for most of 2010 which is a marked change from his opinion fourteen months ago when he was saying that the nascent rally in March 2009 was a dead-cat bounce sucker rally.

Stock Market Topping Formation Is Taking Shape / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
The economy and the stock market usually don’t turn on a dime. Their behavior is more like an oil tanker, needing time and space to change direction.

Stock Market Pessimism Pouring In...20's/50's Cap The Top...Mixed Tape... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
There are many things to talk about tonight. We can look at the very short-term and extend out to the medium and even somewhat longer-term to see if there are any important messages out there we need to pay close attention to. When we look at the short-term we see that the market did a perfect back-test of the 20- and 50-day exponential moving averages before failing late in the day. Normal and anticipated action.

Stock Market Trading Brave or Stupid? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
Two thirds of all trading on the NYSE is algorithm trading by hedge funds – some, with advance information because of the location of their computers – effectively trading as quasi insiders. Timing is in seconds. To understand what is happening we need to stand back to see the “Secondary” and “Primary” trends.

Has the Stock Market Trend Changed? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
This is one of our models that we post weekly instead of daily on our paid website. Its purpose is to focus more on medium term trends rather than trading. Since the old adage of "don't fight the trend" has been and still is good advice, we will look at what this trend model is showing for the S&P 500 today.

Stock Market 2008 Deja Vu All Over Again? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
Does anything about this ride feel familiar?
Oh yes, that’s right - good old 2008, when the "minor correction" of 2007 was behind us and the Dow rallied back from 11,500 to 13,200 based on stimulus packages, fake economic data and even faker earnings reports where banks, builders, automakers and retailers all lied, lied and lied (or perhaps they were just totally, densely ignorant) about their outlook and their operations and CNBC et al lied to investors and told them to BUYBUYBUY while the smart funds were SELLSELLSELLing as fast as they could.

E.U. Bailout Stock Market Hangover Sets In / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
U.S. stocks rallied hard Monday with benchmark indexes advancing the most in more than a year, after European policy makers announced a loan package of almost $1 trillion to contain the sovereign-debt crisis. The VIX, tumbled 30% the biggest drop in its two-decade history. Insurers performed well as they hold bonds tied to banks in Greece and Portugal. Homebuilders were strong after John Paulson estimates a 3%-5% gain in the housing market in 2010 and an 8%-12% in 2011. McDonalds (+3.8%) after a 4.9% increase in April sales helped by growth in Europe and Australia

Capital Waves Hitting Stock Markets, Dramatic Drops and Huge Short Covering Rallies / / Stock Markets 2010
Shah Gilani writes: The Greece rescue package is signed and sealed, but is still far from being delivered. It took three tries, but this time global investors believe the EU got it right. Investors celebrated yesterday (Monday) with a relief rally that touched virtually all of the world's key financial markets - and that served as a strident counterpoint to the near-freefall that gripped the U.S. stock market on Thursday.

Is the Stock Market Correction Finished? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
The swift and powerful market decline last week pushed many key indicators into oversold or near levels where reversals normally occur. Though the pullback in equity indexes was expected, the magnitude was not. Models have been forecasting a retracement in late May to early June since April. Please see the April newsletter in the Equity section.

Stock Market Gap Up ..No Blacks..P/C High All day...Solid Day For Bulls.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
Well, what day for the bulls. The EU and the IMF got together over the weekend and supplied all the bad European economies with one trillion dollars of funds to make sure no one defaults and that everyone is happy. What's a mere trillion dollars amongst friends.
The new world order is everyone is too big to fail. If you're big that is.

Does Today’s Stock Market Gap Up Change Everything? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
Does this change everything? Maybe and maybe not. It’s too soon to tell. But what we can tell you is that today’s news driven event has averted a full blown meltdown and has now taken the indexes back up to overhead supply and resistance levels. A lot of individual names are also showing this. So that said, we’re not going to say we are out of the woods just yet as we are pushing some resistance.

Stock Market SPY Projection / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
We were in front of this latest downdraft and also correct in my bullish projections for Gold at the same time. Gold has hit 1210, the SPY has hit sub 113, which was the initial area for a minimum bottom. We have to put aside some of the computer related problems and look at around 110-111 as the recent bottoming areas on the SPY ETF.
