Room For Additional Economic Stimulus Continues To Shrink, Stock Market Trend / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: ECR_Research
Most analysts view the current correction on stock markets worldwide as unavoidable. Tensions in Europe linked to the public finances are on the rise, China is trying to restrict domestic credit supply, and the Fed faces a torrent of criticism at home and abroad regarding its policy to increase quantitative easing by $600bn with an option to draw down more. It is feared that further quantitative easing would only weaken the dollar further and push up commodity prices. As a result of the latter the rapidly growing Asian economies would come under additional inflationary pressures.

Stock and Commodity Markets Now Entering the Most Dangerous Period Since Mid 2008 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Garry_Abeshouse
“The best way to understand Wall Street is to view it as a heist movie, like “The Sting,” “The Italian Job” or “Ocean’s Eleven.”. There’s just one difference: In your traditional caper, a bunch of little guys get together to steal money from the big guys — a tycoon, big bank or major corporation. On Wall Street, it works the other way around.” – Bret Arends, Marketwatch, November 2nd 2010.Read full article... Read full article...

Trin Rocks The Stock Market Higher / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
The trin is a way of measuring very short-term sentiment. Whenever it hits levels of 2.0, or higher, it almost guarantee's a rally of some magnitude the very next day. Yesterday I mentioned in the final update how we were seeing a print of 2.94, and should expect a good day today. That's what we got fortunately. Our stocks were lucky enough to perform quite well today, which gives us a little breathing room as we await the markets next intentions.

Gold & U.S. Dollar Rise Together? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The past week and a half has been as choppy as it gets for the stocks market. Thankfully the herd mentality (fear & greed) stays the same. Understanding what others think and feel when involved in the market is one of the keys to making money consistently from the market. The crazy looking chart below I will admit is a little tough on the eyes, and I should have used red and green for holiday colors but green just was not going to work today so bear with me J.

Stock Market S&P500, Gold, Crude Oil and Banking Stocks Trading Patterns / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: J_W_Jones
Stocks were back on sale Tuesday when the S&P 500 suffered more than a 1.40% decline by the closing bell. Some market prognosticators pointed their fingers at the dollar, other pointed at the Korean situation, and still others had their eyes fixed on Ireland and the Eurozone as potential causes for the sharp selloff. The S&P 500 is currently oversold on the short term chart and either a bounce or period of consolidation is likely. At this point, chasing stocks in either direction will only satisfy the desires of the smart money, who will likely blow these anticipatory traders into trading fodder in coming weeks.

The Commodities and Equities Circus / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Bari_Baig
The Mystery of Yellow Metal: We’d be very much interested in seeing how Gold trades today. Yesterday the Korean peninsula put a bid in Gold just as it put a bid in Green back and Yen and we had no option but to term Gold as safe haven almost of the caliber of a Reserve instrument. Why, we are interested is to find out whether Gold is better than even a reserve instrument! It enjoyed a perfect rally yesterday but as we expect weakness in Green back today would it then switch sides and conform to inverse correlation as commodities move opposite to Green back.

Nasty Spill for Stocks / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices suffered a nasty spill today as world markets were lower, partially because of the saber rattling between North and South Korea.
The indices dropped sharply at the opening, gapped down, tried to rally midmorning and went lower, and made session lows before noon. The rest of the day was spent backing and filling, and trying to consolidate. They did have a little bit of a late bump, but closed off sharply.

Stock Market Perception is More Important than Ireland, Greece, Portugal, and Spain Combined / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: INO
The trials and tribulations of these four countries (that have run up huge deficits) have been well known for quite some time. What is more important in my opinion is not the size of the debt, which is staggering, but rather what is going on with market perception.

Awaiting Confirmation of SDS UltraShort SPY Bottom / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

The e-mini S&P 500 is approaching key support at 1171.00, and the S&P 500 Depository Receipts (SPY) is approaching key support at 118.00-117.60. So why aren't I positioning myself long the UltraShort SPY (SDS)?

Stock Market Short-term Consolidation, Finding Support at Bottom of Expanding Bullish Channel / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
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 a corrective move in the form of a mini bull market. Cycles point to a continuation of this trend into 2011.

Ireland's $130 Billion Bailout When Irish Banks are Ailing / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
$130 Billion!
That's how much money Ireland will be getting in the bailout package they said they didn't need as recently as Friday. I just want to make it perfectly clear that I also DO NOT need a bailout of tens of Billions of dollars so whatever you do - DON'T give me a bailout this weekend. Let's hope that works! The U.K. and Sweden may contribute bilateral loans, the EU said in a statement. Irish Finance Minister Lenihan declined to say how big the package will be, saying that it will be less than 100 billion euros but Goldman Sachs said yesterday the government needs 65 billion euros to fund itself for the next three years and 30 billion euros for the banks.

S&P 1200 Remains Too Difficult... For Now.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
And that's not bad news at all. The market could definitely use more to refresh. A longer time to pause to sell off slowly but gradually. Enough time to unwind those oscillators from neutral to oversold on those daily charts. The longer we sell off slowly the more sentiment will erode. The market wouldn't be best served if we just flew up here. Won't happen in all likelihood, but anything is always possible.

Fibonacci, Elliott Wave Theory and the Stocks Bull Market, Gold Top / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Ronald_Rosen
There are a number of well known technicians and fundamentalists who believe and continually write about and talk about a long term bear market in the stock indexes that has much further to go. There are long term charts that may be telling us that a bear market in the S & P 500 and the D. J. I. A. ended in March 2009. A third chart may be telling us that a fifth and final wave in the long term bull market in stocks that began in 1913 is underway. It appears to have begun at the bottom in March 2009. Thirty four years is the key number.
