Ten Steps to Financial Safety 2013 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: DeviantInvestor
The best time to start preparing was about a decade ago. The second best time is today. Make a plan and act. Start by reducing living expenses and eliminating credit card debt.- Expect sweeping changes! I hope the inevitable currency collapse is slow and gentle, not rapid and destructive, but history suggests rapid and painful are more likely.
- Phase out of paper assets and into something real. Gold, silver, diamonds, farm land, rental property, and buildings come to mind.

Stocks, Bonds, and Gold Inflection Point Market Trend Forecasts 2013 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Darah_Bazargan
Most are sunk in contemplation, and hopelessly clinging on to the ever- changing era of big government spending.
Central bankers and big financial institutions are borrowing money from the FED at rates near zero, and then reinvest it into the ten year or thirty year notes, which are paying 2% to 4%. From the standpoint of any financial institution, it is logical and also more profitable than say, lending to a risky borrower.

Monetary Malpractice: Dysfunctional Financial Markets, Mis-pricing and Malinvestments / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Gordon_T_Long
One of the first axioms of analysis is: "Garbage In, Garbage Out"! If your data is flawed, everything you do with it and the decisions stemming from it are flawed and dangerous to your financial health. Experienced analysts will often be found relentlessly checking, rechecking and validating their inputs and assumptions.
If only our economists and the sell side analyst community were this diligent. But then it isn't their money. Only a year-end bonus for the 'extras' in their life is at risk.

Look at Financial Crisis Year 2013 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Clif_Droke
In the course of history, some of the great crises of the past were beyond the pale of human control. Other crises, however, were created by the very people who suffered the effects of them. The coming year could well afford a testament in how a “crisis of our own making” leads to economic destruction.

Your Four Best Financial Resolutions for 2013 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Investment_U
Alexander Green writes: This is the time of year for making New Year’s resolutions. And I have four that are guaranteed to make your portfolio bigger, fatter and wider a year from now.
So listen up:
* Save more. All investment begins with saving. And unlike the performance of the stock market, saving is something that’s under your control. It will also have a significant impact in the long-term value of your portfolio. For example, let’s say you’ve accumulated a portfolio worth $100,000. If it compounds at no more than the long-term return of the S&P 500 – 11% a year – it will be worth $1,358,000 in 25 years.

Alasdair Macleod's Financial Markets Outlook for 2013 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Alasdair_Macleod
I have not faced the prospect of a new year with so much trepidation as when I contemplate what is in store for 2013. Systemic risks abound, which of themselves are not the main story, only milestones on the road to final currency destruction, unless governments somehow regain their senses.
To help understand the perils of 2013 I shall give them their background context first before listing them individually. No such list can be exhaustive or temporally sequenced, but all on it have the same root: the long-term accumulation of a burden of unsupportable debt.

Themes for 2013 - Fiscal Cliff Follies, Gold Momentum, Economic Muddling Through / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Andy_Sutton
With the hoax of the Mayan ‘End of the World’ fantasy and the week of extreme materialistic consumerism behind us, we can now return our focus to the events of the day and what might come to pass as we enter 2013. Certainly, there are several issues at the forefront right now, but many of the biggest issues are being buried. As we transition from 2012 to 2013, let’s take a look at what are likely to be the main themes of 2013.

It’s Only a Fiscal Slope Not a Cliff! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Sy_Harding
Why are Congress and the White House not panicked about the looming fiscal ‘cliff’? Why has the Dow pulled back only 2% rather than plunging 2,000 points as time to forge an agreement by year-end has foolishly dwindled down to just a couple of days, and odds of it happening have become remote?

Stock Market Breather & Gold Yearly Cycle Low / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Toby_Connor
The stock market has known all along that the fiscal cliff issue was going to be pushed out to the last minute. This is just how Washington works. Nothing is ever settled until everybody gets all of the pork needed to buy their vote.
The correction today is nothing more than a short-term breather before the market makes a final push to test the all-time highs, probably by the first week in January. I'm guessing we will get some kind of stopgap measure, or extension of the deadline next week that will trigger another explosive move up to test those September highs. At that point the market will find some excuse to drift down into a daily cycle low around the middle of January.

By: InvestmentContrarian
Sasha Cekerevac writes: The Federal Reserve concluded its latest meeting on Wednesday by enacting additional monetary policy measures and a historic change in the way the central bank communicates its intentions.
With “Operation Twist” ending this December, the Federal Reserve decided to continue its monetary policy program of purchasing $45.0 billion of long-term treasuries each month. This is in addition to the ongoing monetary policy program of purchasing $40.0 billion of mortgage-backed bonds per month.

US Fiscal Cliff Talks Going Nowhere to be Followed by Market Collapse / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Graham_Summers
Ever since the EU Crisis began in earnest in January 2010, EU leaders have maintained the following strategy:
1) Engage in endless meetings/ discussions, none of which resolve anything.
2) Announce that the situation is resolved.
3) Wait for the world to realize nothing has been fixed.
4) Repeat.

Stocks, Dollar and Commodity Markets Trend Forecasts into February 2013 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2013
By: Toby_Connor
Well how was that for the start of a new intermediate cycle? While many analysts were calling for continued losses or even a market crash I repeatedly warned traders that an intermediate degree bottom was coming and that markets routinely rally violently out of those bottoms, often generating 5-8% gains in the first 12 to 15 days. This particular intermediate bottom has already gained 5% in just the first five days.
