Fed Still Pumping, But FDI Goes Negative? Stock Market M Tops / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2014
By: Gordon_T_Long
Bear Stearn, Lehman Level Foreign Flows
If you are traveling at 100 mph and you abruptly hit the car breaks, as a passenger it can cause serious consequences. If the car is then suddenly slammed into a reverse direction, a fatality may often the likely outcome. Similarly, with FDI (Foreign Direct Invest) not only dramatically slowing but also being slammed into a negative direction, we might expect major consequences! However, true to form our Keynesian government economist and the compliant media report this by saying it is a short term anomaly. Tell this to the passengers!

Investor Profit & Protect from Multiple Deceptions & Delusions / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2014
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“Housing numbers were abysmal for January 2014. This is yet another evidence that there is a huge disconnect between Wall Street and Fedspeak, versus the real economy. The truth is, the economy stinks. Big picture stock market patterns are telling us the economy will get much worse, and an economic depression could be coming. Robert McHugh, 02/19/2014

Ugly Scenario Epiphany & Forecast Formula / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2014
By: Jim_Willie_CB
The rabbit hole was detected long ago, leading to multiple examples of Jackass epiphany. Many clients and inquisitive followers have asked how and when the conspiracy and deep plots were recognized. A sequence occurred to produce the newfound awareness, in certain key events that reeked of suspicion, sabotage, and bad economics. The awareness began around 1990, confirmed in 2000 & 2001 with the stock bust and 911 crime scene, solidified with Lehman in 2008. The steady policy decisions were so destructive, ordered by intelligent men, that they had to be intentional. The hints were many. Certain friends, certain acquaintances, certain service veterans, certain business veterans all contributed to a perspective that has proved valuable. When the Vietnam War ended, when the Middle East hot spot never went away, when the American industry began to be dispatched to the Pacific Rim, when labor unions went too far, when presidential politics became absurd displays of Manchurian candidates, when the United States required a procession of fabricated enemies, when the financial sector boasted of victorious superiority, when the American diet turned into a carnival fantasy, when the American public turned into health freaks and Big Pharma subjects, when the genocide projects came to the fore, when the US Press turned into a propaganda megaphone, when technology was directed toward fascist forces, the Jackass had challenges in life and in industry blessed by certain accomplishments but also beset by frustations as well.

Bitcoin? You Have Got To Be Joking! My Report From The World Economic Forum / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2014
By: David_Hague
Dear Reader, I must apologize for my tardiness in filing my report on last month's World Economic Forum [WEF] in Davos. This annual gathering of the world's best and brightest, society's rich and famous, the powerful and the political, the lobbyists as well as many economists, groupies, and assorted riff raff [Yours truly would fall into the last category.] is, perhaps, the most important harbinger of the prospects for the global economy in 2014. My reasons for being so late in filing my report will soon become apparent. I arrived in Davos, more excited than I had ever been in my career. A coterie of powerful bankers had retained me to make a keynote speech at the conference on the topic of Derivatives. They had agreed to cover my expenses and pay me handsomely for the opportunity to hear my thoughts on the subject.

The 1% Being Picked on For Political Reasons / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2014
By: Bloomberg
Wilbur Ross, chairman of WL Ross & Co., spoke with Bloomberg Television's Betty Liu and Cristina Alesci today about talks about investment strategy, Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen's congressional testimony and Charter's takeover bid for Time Warner.
"I agree that the 1 percent is being picked on for political reasons," Ross said when asked whether he agreed with Sam Zell's comments about the 1%. "I think the right focus would be how do you help the lower classes elevate themselves. And I think what's disappointing with all the rhetoric, they're not doing anything to fix the educational system. Education is the way that people get out of the ghetto and into if not the 1 percent something close to it."

Stocks and Commodities Great Inflation of 2014 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2014
By: Toby_Connor
For over a year now I've been expecting 2014 to be the year when the unintended consequences of five years of QE come home to roost. By the end of the year we are going to have a massive inflationary spike in commodity prices that will collapse the global economy. It's all going to start with a final manic melt up phase in the stock market over the next 3-4 months. Make no mistake this bull market will not be over until the NASDAQ tests it's all time high above 5000.

By: Chris_Vermeulen
Recent price action in the stock market has many traders on edge. With the market closing below our key support trend line last week, the market has now technically starting a down trend.
While trend lines are a great tool for identifying a weakening trend and reversals in the market, I do not put a lot of my analysis weighting on them.

Central Bank Throwdown, What’s Driving Emerging Markets? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2014
By: John_Mauldin
Those of us who have attained a certain age can remember being bombarded by commercials in which we were asked "Is it live or is it Memorex?" The thrust of the ad was that it didn't make any difference, that the tape recording was just as good as being there to watch that TV show live. Video recording technology was in its infancy, and the ability to play a movie whenever you wanted was really cool. Imagine being able to set a video recorder to record a TV show while you were away! … As long as you had somebody in the house young enough to be able to program the recorder to do it, it was great technology.
