Perhaps today the refrain "Got Gold?" should be replaced with the words, "Buy Chinese Stocks!"

The Largest Heist in History Building the Great Pyramid, The Global Financial Crisis Explained / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008
Greg Pytel writes: When the financial crisis erupted at the end of September 2008, there was an unusual sense of incredible panic among banking executives and government officials. These two establishment groups are known for their conservative, understated approach and, above all, their stiff upper lip. Yet at the time they appeared to the public running about like headless chickens. It was chaos. A state of complete chaos. Within a few weeks, however, decisions were made and everything seemed to returned to normal and back under control. The British Prime Minister Gordon Brown even famously remarked that the government “saved the world.”

70 RSI's... AAPL and IBM... Pullback Time Is Here...... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
No one will argue that it's inappropriate for this market to sell off here. 70, or higher, RSI's abound on all the major daily index charts. The NDX as high as 77 today. That's just unsustainable for a very long period of time, even in the best of market conditions. The market starts looking for a catalyst and it found it big time after hours this evening.

How to Protect Yourself From the Stock Market Inflate-a-Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
We are now officially in the thick of earnings season, which means added volatility for the marketplace. Splashy headlines like Google’s surprise surge in sales are making the bulls bolder by the day.
And as long as earnings reports continue to at least meet consensus estimates on average, that most likely won’t be the foundation for a correction… yet.

SP500 & Natural Gas Short Term Trend Charts / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
The broad markets along with metals have been on fire but in the last two weeks we have seen the sentiment become stronger.

Instead the prices have been inching their way higher with very minor pullbacks before surging again.

Stock Market Disquieting Underlying Technical Deterioration / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
Here's the lowdown on last week's action from Marketedge: “Stocks continued to march higher last week as both the DJIA and the NASDAQ posted modest gains for the period.… The technical condition of the market was mixed last week as the CTI lost a couple of points, there was considerable deterioration in the Strength Indexes but the Momentum Index remained strong." Translation: The upward trend remains intact but there's some disquieting underlying technical deterioration that we must take note of.

Quantitative Easing 2 is a Bad Idea, Market Manipulators Pushing Stocks Higher / Stock-Markets / Quantitative Easing
Friday's internals were weak, in spite of being a mixed market. The NASDAQ 100 had a huge price move up, but a significant chunk of the price gain came from one stock, Google. Google rose $60.52 per share, or 11.10 percent, in one day, Friday. Google is one of those stocks that a market manipulator can buy to move an index in the hopes it starts bandwagon buying. During the 2003 and 2006 rallies, we saw MMM move the Industrials with bizarre isolated rising price days. At the time, it appeared to us a market manipulator was moving the Industrials higher with 3M purchases. From time to time we see concerted efforts to push markets higher. Now is one of those times. But each time this happens, it causes the subsequent decline to be worse than would otherwise have been the case, like stretching a rubber band too far.

Financial's Break.... Stock Market Holds.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
We have a bear market within a bull market. Unusual but true. The financial sector is in a bear market again as it loses all its critical moving averages. Some stocks in the sector are outright scary such as Capital One Financial Corp. (COF), Bank of America Corporation (BAC), Wells Fargo & Company (WFC), and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), to name just a few. Take a look at those daily charts if you want to have fear put in to your head. Nasty breakdowns everywhere today in that world of stocks, and on huge volume to confirm those price breakdowns.

Stock Market Bubble and Gold Stalls at New High / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
Consumer Prices in U.S. Rise 0.1% in September
(Bloomberg) The cost of living in the U.S. rose less than forecast in September, indicating companies are keeping a lid on price increases to stoke demand.
The consumer-price index rose 0.1 percent after 0.3 percent gains in the prior two months, figures from the Labor Department showed today in Washington. Economists projected a 0.2 percent gain, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey. Excluding volatile food and fuel costs, the so-called core rate was unchanged for a second month.
