The Dynamic Web and the Fibonacci S&P Golden Ratio Support at 1013.14 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: David_Knox_Barker
Those who followed the research of the late great market forecaster PQ Wall will recall his concept of the Dynamic Web for market price analysis. My Fibonacci price grid research builds on PQ’s Dynamic Web research. A brief review of PQ’s approach helps explain how Fibonacci price grids bring additional clarity and powerful investing and trading tools to the Dynamic Web approach.

Stock Market Digesting JP Morgans Corporate Earnings / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
U.S. stocks flat lined and failed to make it seven up on hump day, as a drop in retail sales and the Federal Reserve’s assessment that the economic outlook has “softened” trumped Intel upbeat forecast for record profit. Home Depot, American Express and Alcoa all felt the down draft and declined the most in the Dow as minutes from the Fed’s last meeting showed policy makers saw no need to boost economic stimulus even as they trimmed growth forecasts but stocks did pare losses in the final minutes of trading.

Preparing for a Monsoon Stock Market Drop? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: David_Banister
The market continues upward in either a C wave or Wave 2 corrective upside re-tracement if I’m correct. In reviewing the pattern since the April top this year, we have had clear Fibonacci retracement levels of the 13 month rally. These occurred at 1040 and 1011 areas so far, 31% and 38% fibonaci re-tracement levels of the Fibonacci 13 month rally.

China Shanghai Ready For It's Stocks Bear Market Birthday / Stock-Markets / Chinese Stock Market
By: Adam_Brochert
China is 2-3 weeks away from being ONE FULL YEAR into it's most recent bear market leg. Amazingly, despite the old retrospectoscope pointing out that the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index ($SSEC) peaked on August 4th of 2009, people are still looking to the "miracle growth story" of China to lead the world out of its slump. This goes to show how long the average investor can be deceived into thinking a burst bubble can re-inflate. It is the same scenario as people wanting to believe the housing market was coming back last year. Or this year. Or next year. Ain't gonna happen, folks, so move along.Read full article...

Stock Market Mixed, Narrow Close to Choppy Session / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices ended near the zero-line today and were mixed and choppy. The day started out with a move up off the opening, followed by a quick pullback that held support, and then they were off to the races again. The indices had a sharp move on the Nasdaq 100, twice making new rally highs, but the S&P 500 did not cooperate and could not even get over yesterday's late high.

Are Stocks Currently Cheap? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Valuations
By: Michael_Pento
Perma-shills have been claiming of late that the stock market is now trading at an enticing valuation. Their main evidence for this, as they are fond to claim, is that the forward Price to earnings multiple is 12 times next year’s earnings for the S&P 500. And, of course, a 12 PE multiple makes stocks cheap and the overall market a buy.

European Stock Markets Pause After 6 Up Days / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
U.S. stocks surged again on Tuesday, extending the longest rally for the S&P 500 in three months, as improving outlooks from companies such as Alcoa and Novellus bolstered confidence. Aluminium producer Alcoa, the first company in the Dow to report second quarter results, gained a further 1.2% as sales and profit exceeded analysts’ estimates and the company forecast stronger global demand. Novellus rose 5.8%. Infact all four S&P 500 companies that reported results between market’s close yesterday and the start of trading this morning topped the average analyst estimate for per-share profits.

Latest ECRI Economic Leading Indicator Confirms Bearish Stock Outlook! / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Claus_Vogt
In last week’s Money and Markets column, I recommended getting out of the stock market. This was based on my cyclical model having turned bearish. Plus there was a clear breakout of the S&P 500 and many other global indexes from their well-formed, topping formations.
On the same day my column came out, stock markets around the world started a nice rally … and in just three days the S&P 500 was up nearly 5 percent!

Stock Market At trend Line On S&P 500.. Dow Above.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
And yes, it is overbought on the short-term charts. A pullback of 15 or so S&P 500 points can occur at any moment in time, or possibly even a bit more. It seems that the positive divergence on the MACD at the lows, along with the 30-RSI readings and 2% bull bear spread, has put the bottom in for this market for the short-term. It doesn't mean we don't get decent pullbacks. We will. However, it does also appear that the market can now chop its way higher back to the 1131 area over time, which will allow for decent gains on long plays.

Corporate CEOs Won't Invest in America, Why Should You? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Fred_Sheehan
There is no end of economists, analysts, and reporters filling the air with investment recommendations. Is the stock market oversold? Should we invest for inflation or deflation? And so on.
That is talk. American CEOs are voting with their feet. Since they aren't investing in the United States, does it make sense for the individual stockholder or bondholder to do so?

U.S. stocks rose again Monday, adding to gains from the biggest weekly rally in a year for the S&P 500 Index, as analyst upgrades of technology companies boosted optimism before the start of the earnings season.

CIVETS the New BRIC's for Investor Windfall Emerging Market Profits / Stock-Markets / Emerging Markets
By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes: First it was the "BRICs." Now it's the "CIVETS."
In fact, the CIVETS are the "new" BRICs: Expect some of the CIVETS economies (Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey and South Africa) to be among the world's hottest markets in the decade to come. They have the potential to generate the same kind of windfall wealth as the BRIC markets of Brazil, Russia, India and China did over the last 10 years - but only if you pick the right markets at the right time.

Stock Market Rally Loses Steam in Narrow Up-Session / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices managed to eke out a gain today, but the path to those gains was a little choppy.
The day started out with a sharp move higher. The Nasdaq 100 got to 1831.62 and the S&P 500 got up to 1080.78, and then they sold off sharply to new lows for the day. But they held right at support near 1810 NDX and 1070 SPX, and then began a move back upward. By mid-afternoon they stalled and ground back and forth, firming up a little bit in the last half hour to close in the plus column.
