How High Can the Stock Market Go? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Chris_Ciovacco
With global economic activity exceeding low expectations and the Fed stating the threshold is high to scale back its money-printing program (QE2), it is a good time to examine the upside potential of the stock market. While the average investor has a limited memory when it comes to market reversal points that occurred in 1998, computers and trading algorithms have no trouble recalling them in vivid detail. Therefore, taking a little walk down memory lane may help us compete more effectively with the largest firms on Wall Street.

QE2 & Stock Market Breadth Still Question the ‘Smart Money’ / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Chris_Ciovacco
The ‘smart money’ has been calling for a correction for over six weeks now, often citing extended sentiment to build their case. We looked at sentiment recently and agree it raises yellow flags that need to be respected, but sentiment alone is not a reason to head for the exits (yet).

By: Vitaliy_Katsenelson
Your latest book, The Little Book of Sideways Markets, was just published. What is a sideways market?
Let's begin with some definitions so we can speak clearly about this. When I talk about markets, I'm talking about secular markets that last longer than five years, usually decades or longer.

Stocks Market Targets Short Term SPX Correction / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Andre_Gratian
Current Position of the Market
Very Long-term trend - The very-long-term cycles are down and if they make their lows when expected, the secular bear market which started in October 2007 should continue until about 2014-2015.
Long-term trend - In March 2009, equity markets began an upward corrective move in the form of a mini bull market. Cycles point to a continuation of this trend into 2011.

Shiller Abandons P E Ratio’s and Does a Roubini / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Andrew_Butter
Oh dear, I suppose all good things must come to an end one day. Today, tragically, we must mourn the sad demise of “trailing P/E ratios” as the infallible predictor of the future.
Using long term analysis, Professor Robert Shiller, macromarkets chief economist at Yale University and the co-creator of the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index, told CNBC on Friday that the S&P 500 may reach 1430 by the year 2020.

Stock Market Elliott Wave Analysis and Forecast for Week Starting 3rd Jan / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Tony_Caldaro
The US markets spend the holiday week essentially going sideways on light volume. Economic reports were mixed. Case-Shiller housing, consumer confidence and the monetary base all declined. The Chicago PMI, pending homes sales, the WLEI, and the weekly jobless improved, with unemployment claims dropping under 400K for the first time in two years. For the week the SPX/DOW were +0.05%, and the NDX/NAZ were -0.55%. Bonds gained 0.7%, Crude slipped 0.1%, Gold rose 3.0%, and the USD lost 1.8%. Asian markets were mixed gaining 0.2%, European markets were down 2.2%, the Commodity equity group rose 0.6%, and the DJ World index rose 0.8%. Next week will likely be a busy one as most return from holiday. ISM, FOMC minutes and the Payrolls report highlight the week. Best to your New Year!

By: Sy_Harding
But first, how did my forecast for 2010 work out?

Stock Market Investors Should Celebrate 2010, But Be Cautious on 2011 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Jeb_Handwerger
Month January is named after the Roman god Janus. He is depicted as having two faces. One looking back at the fading last hours of the old year, the other trying to discern the new year. Similarly I contemplate the final two trading days of the old 2010 year and the opening of the first five trading days of the 2011 year. This period is sometimes marked by swirls of positioning often referred to as "window dressing" in order to make portfolios appear as attractive as possible.

One Reason to Bet on U.S. Stocks in 2011 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Nilus_Mattive
There are definitely plenty of reasons to be concerned about the U.S. economy — and the broad market — in the year ahead.
But as I prepare my strategy for the coming year, there’s an area that clearly argues for being bullish on stocks in 2011 … and it’s probably not one you’d expect …

Jon D. Markman writes:
Stocks rose last week with all the excitement of water turning to ice in the freezer.
I kept hitting the side of my monitor to see if the pixels were stuck -- but no, it was just another one of those low-volume, low-drama late-December sessions that we have come to know and love.

As of late December 2010, the market’s technical profile remains healthy relative to the outlook for the next few months, something we expand on in the video below.

Stock Market Bullish Tone Continues into 2011 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Donald_W_Dony
Equity markets have enjoyed a positive tone since mid-2010. Improving fundamentals and rising U.S. GDP have bolstered investor confidence and supported the upward trend of the bull market. A year-end review of several key technical gauges highlights the ongoing strength that is normally associated with bull markets and should remind investors of the opportunities ahead in 2011.

Stock Market Sentiment Not A Barrier To Further Gains / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Chris_Ciovacco
There are currently several reasons to be concerned about the stock market, from debt problems in Europe to slowing technical momentum. However, if investor sentiment is currently at the top of your list of concerns, you may want to bump it down a few notches.
Stock market sentiment relative to a bullish or bearish outlook can be used as a contrary indicator for stock prices when it reaches extremes. If you follow the markets closely, you have run into an article or two making the case that a correction or bear market is imminent based on the current state of extended bullish sentiment.

U.S. Stock Market Forecast 2011, Outperform for Tech, Energy and Commodity, Gold Sectors / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Money_Morning
Shah Gilani writes:
The outlook for the U.S. stock market in the New Year figures to be an exasperating mixture of promise and peril. Positive momentum is building going into 2011, but so are dangerous bubbles.
The high-tech, energy, materials and commodities sectors will be hot in the New Year. And the U.S. stock market will get an added boost from the fact that U.S. Treasuries, municipal bonds (munis) and euro-based investments will not.

2011 The Third Year of the Presidential Stock Market Cycle! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Sy_Harding
The history of the Four-Year Presidential Cycle is that the stock market tends to experience its worst corrections and bear markets in one or both of the first two years of a president’s term, and then be positive for the last two years of the term.
In fact, studies have shown that if investors were to stay out of the market for the first two years of each presidential term, and then buy and hold for the last two years they would substantially outperform the market over the long-term.
