Stock Market Corrections Are Beautiful - Shop At The Gap / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
A correction is a beautiful thing, simply the flip side of a rally, big or small. Theoretically, even technically I'm told, corrections adjust equity prices to their actual value or "support levels". In reality, it's much easier than that.

Stock Market Extreme Volatility Continues Below S&P 500 1150...... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
The past few days have been something you don't see very often. 2000 point swings in the Dow each day. It really does blow your mind to watch this type of volatility on consecutive days. Not the normal behavior for sure, and the fact that it's taking place below critical support at 1150 S&P 500 on high volume, doesn't exactly bode well for the bulls short-term at the very least. When markets are ready to change course, we often see violent moves. The side that was enjoying the trend is fighting to keep it alive. The new side taking over will have nothing to do that. Then comes the massive moves on a daily basis that will more than make your head spin. So what can we take from this action overall?

Fed Fraud and Stock Market Crash Bamboozles Investors / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous." --- Carl Sagan
That’s exactly what has happened, the United States government in cahoots with the Federal Reserve and a number of the world’s central banks, conspired to defraud the vast majority of human beings out of their wealth. The fraud began back in 1913 with the creation of the IRS and Federal Reserve, and for decades was confined to the US.

The Stock Market Trend is Broken / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
In my last newsletter several weeks ago, I noted a continued bullish trend. However, I also said that:
“Despite the market's bullish trend, I continue to be cashed out of most of the stock market and have shifted a significant chunk of my assets into a new piece of real estate.”

Stock Market Easy Times Gone...Tough Times Here... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
How nice it was to nail that bull market run off the February lows and ride it all the way up. Although it felt bad nearing the end of the run up in terms of buying in to overbought, we did, and things went very well. Easy times. Parabolic move higher. It was all fun. Then came 37.3% more bulls than bears. That level of sentiment started to smoke this market earlier this week and hasn't stopped. We're now 6% off the S&P 500 1220 highs. Seem like enough? It just about better be for the bears, but more on that later.

Stock Markets Shudder On Club Med Debt Woes / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
In a scary day’s trading with liquidity basically gone from Eurozone bond markets, equity markets finally woke up and took note and more than $1.1 trillion was wiped from the value of global stocks. Growing expectations that the €110 billion rescue package for Greece will need to be extended to Spain and Portugal was the cause. This was despite positive US home sales and factory orders data.

Stock Market Wednesday Worries, Greece Closed and Japan On the Edge of Collapse / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
Lord Blankfein, the peasants are revolting! Lloyd: "I know, they stink on ice."
Greek air-traffic controllers and teachers walked off their jobs and shopkeepers shuttered their stores to challenge Prime Minister George Papandreou’s latest decision to cut wages and pensions and raise taxes in return for a 110 billion-euro ($143 billion) rescue package. Protesters trying to gain access to the parliament building clashed with helmeted and padded riot police and threw sticks and stones and chanted slogans when they were repulsed. Police, who said 18,000 people are participating in the marches, shot tear gas at other protesters who lobbed rocks and set trashcans on fire at the central bank building near the parliament.

We Pulled the Dow Sell Trigger, Stock Market Downside Targets / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
We pulled the trigger on the Dow
We have been concerned for some time that the market was in a rotational phase and that some key levels were being tested on the upside. The action today, Tuesday, can only be viewed one way, and that is negative. We do not expect this market to make a miraculous recovery to new highs and would not be surprised if we have seen the highs for the year.

Traditional Stocks Bull Market Affects / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
The traditional affects of an expanding economy and a bull market have finally reached the yield curve. After nine months of positive GDP growth in the US economy and over 12 months of steady advances in the S&P 500, the yield curve is beginning to flatten. This action normally starts within the first 12 to 18 months of a bull market and its presence now is right on schedule.

Why Stock Market Correction Is Looking More Likely / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
The bond market looks like it's made a huge base and is about to break out. The charts on basic materials, China and the retail sector look vulnerable, too, suggesting the consumer may need a rest. All of this could be signaling a disappointment out of Friday's jobs report for April and a possible correction in equities.
