Stock Market RSI 30 Bounce On Cue...Now We Learn More.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
It has been occurring for years. When the daily index charts get down to 30 RSI we seemingly always see a strong bounce take place. We hit those magic 30 RSI levels yesterday on the lows with the Nasdaq printing 28 while the Dow and S&P 500 came in with readings at 30. No good news took place overnight, yet our futures started rising slowly but gradually throughout the morning. We opened with a small move higher that soon became a trend day for the bulls as the bears recognized they had nothing left in the tank. They covered their shorts in droves as the market marched higher. Once it became clear that 1040 wouldn't hold any longer the bears threw in the towel.

By: Janet_Tavakoli
The U.S.'s Financial Reform bill is over 2,000 pages. It includes exemptions and lots of opportunities to create loopholes. Behavior that caused our ongoing global financial crisis is guaranteed to continue, if we don't have swift and effective deterrents.

U.S. Stock Market Sliding Over The Cliff, Crisis Redux Road To Perdition / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Jim_Willie_CB
Time to awaken to a new dreadful reality. Just like autumn 2008, all over again, the stock market is breaking down in a powerful visible manner, after nothing was fixed with the vast financial structures but much money was spent. If only the USGovt had decided to address the problems instead of funding the myriad liquidity facilities, which by the way serve as a virtual banking system. If only the USGovt had decided to address the problems instead of funding the US Federal Reserve equity reserves, as in excess bank reserve lures. If only the USGovt had decided to address the problems instead of funding the bank preferred stock and bank executive bonuses. If only the USGovt had decided to address the fundamental need for capital formation toward job growth instead of simple extensions of jobless benefits.

Stocks Bear Market Rally Over / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Claus_Vogt
The stock market’s rise since the March 2009 lows was nothing more than a bear market rally. Yes, it was a huge rally, but not out of the realm of similar historical examples.
Low trading volume, still high valuations and lingering economic problems — especially within the real estate sector and the banking system — have been strong arguments for my outlook. And the history of burst real estate bubbles could serve as a blueprint for our current dilemma.

Stock Market Wall Of Worry For Wednesday / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
A disappointed close on Tuesday saw US equities shed most of their early gains. Initially well received bond auctions & syndicated deals from Austria & Spain boosted sentiment post US holidays. The most interesting snippet from the Spanish deal was that the Chinese Central Bank are reported to have been in for Eur 540m. This is potentially very significant as Asian accounts have been big sellers of European peripheral bond markets. This may mark a turning point in sentiment & could result in significant spread tightening as Asian accounts tend to hunt in packs

Stock Market Disappointing Up-Session / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had an up-day today, but it was disappointing. The session started out with a big gap up. The indices ran to overhead resistance near 1765 on the Nasdaq 100 and as high as 1042.50 on the S&P 500. A steady decline ensued early within the first hour that took the indices back down to 1720 on the NDX, 45 points off its high, and 1018 on the SPX. A late rally snapped the indices back to resistance.

Stock Market Retests H&S Neckline, Perfect Setup for Opening Gap Down / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
U.S. stocks gained, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index rising from a 10-month low, amid
speculation earnings growth will help equities rebound from their lowest valuations since the
bull market began in 2009. (LOL!)
The S&P 500 climbed 0.5 percent to 1,028.06 at 4 p.m. in New York after jumping 2 percent in the first hour of trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 57.14 points, or 0.6 percent, to 9,743.62 to snap a seven-day losing streak, its longest since the financial crisis in 2008.

Stock Market Death Cross, It is 1932 All Over Again / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
The Great Depression is a time that stands out as a time of great debate. During the Great Depression, FDR acted nearly exactly as we have in the Great Recession, expanding the size and scope of the government and pushing through new spending bills to incite economic activity. However, as the dust begins to settle from the first boom, investors are again looking for the bust.

Stock Market SP-500, GLD and GDX, Down More or Now Up? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: John_Townsend
Its mid afternoon Tuesday and the markets are selling off – still. It seems like it will never end. Big red candles on every chart I look. The VIX, the temperature gauge of fear, is rising again and the news headlines are filled with gut wrenching uncertainties about US Municipals, foreign countries that are characterized as ticking time bombs and opinion that we are headed for another Great Depression.Read full article...

Stock Market Approaches Bear Territory, S&P Near-Term Price Target 900 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Richard_Shaw
The S&P 500 is just about in official bear market territory (conventionally defined as down 20%). While the index closed on the stock market at about 1023 on Friday July 2, the CME Globex E-Mini index futures are at about 1006 at about 10:00 PM on July 5 before the July 6 open. That would place the index down 17.6%, and moving steeply downward.

Stock Market Trading, Two Issues You DON’T Want To Own / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: David_Grandey
Going into last week we said: “We’re in the middle of the road and could go either way”
Up to that point in time we were just looking at a normal pullback off the recent highs and everything was going according to that plan all up till the big gap down day. That gap pushed the markets down hard and fast and changed what was a normal pullback in the markets to a resumption of a full blown second leg down of this correction.

Cheap Valuations Spur Bulls to Buy Stocks / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
With the major stock market indices oversold on almost every metric and the S&P 500 finding critical support around the 1100, European markets have pushed ahead today. Valuations have reached a 16 month low at 12.5 times earnings and we all know what happed in March 2009! Now equity analysts are raising their earnings estimates for U.S. companies at the fastest rate since at least 2004 just as stocks post the biggest losses in 16 months. Profit for S&P 500 companies will jump 34 percent in 2010, compared with a projected gain of 27% on March 29, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The revision, the most during any quarter in at least six years, came as lower than forecast home sales, manufacturing and private sector job growth sent the benchmark gauge for American equities down 16% since April 23.

Bruce Watson writes: Predictions of the end of civilization are nothing new, but the direst prognosticators have, traditionally, existed on the fringes of society, where their dark visions can be comfortably attributed to an excess of libertarianism or a shortage of Prozac.
