A Post Payrolls Stock Market Bounce? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
The S&P 500 Index fell for the fourth straight day Thursday losing 0.3% to close at it’s lowest since Oct. 2, 2009, after sinking as much as 1.9% earlier in the day. That was because of more worrying jobs data in the form of weekly and continuing jobless claims which gave the double dippers argument more ammunition. But European equity markets opened marginally higher this morning following their lead from Asia overnight despite the weak economic data from the US yesterday.

Red Flags on the Economy, Stock Market Death Cross Forming / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Tony_Sagami
The market seems to have run out of buyers. Recently, on days when the market goes up, the volume is light. On days when the market goes down, volume soars with passionate intensity.
The babbling heads on TV make the bullish case enough, so I’ll just summarize it: Basically, corporate profit margins surged to 36% in the first quarter. Since records began in 1947 they have never been this high. Meanwhile, bond yields are pitifully low. There is no better place, say bulls, to put your money than in the market’s leading stocks.

Cash Pouring Into Junk-Bond Funds May Signal Stock Market Chaos / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Shah Gilani writes: Investors are plowing money into junk-bond funds, which leveraged borrowers at private equity funds are using to pay dividends to themselves and to buy out more public companies.
The huge-and-growing overhang of debt-laden portfolio companies that private-equity shops want to take public - when combined with additional leveraged deals in the pipeline - will keep a lid on U.S. stock prices and could even spark a sell-off for stocks in both the United States and Europe.

Stock Market Indices Continue Lower, but Close Firmly Off Lows / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices were lower on Thursday, but came dramatically off the early sharp lows. The day started out with a little bit of a slight bump to the upside before the indices rolled over hard and fast. The Nasdaq 100 dropped from 1747 to 1700, and the S&P 500 from 1034 to nearly 1010. At that point they were severely oversold, not only intraday but over the last few days, with a negative tick of 1414, which triggered a snapback rally.

Another Day In The Stock Market Down Trend...... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
When you're in a down trending market one of things that happens is people expect the markets to be down huge every day. That there can't be any good days along the way. Basically it's just down hard day after day. That is not the case at all. Even in the worst bear markets it's all a process. Most days are lower, of course, but not every day is a big down day. We closed well off the lows.

Investor Profit and Gold Protection, Banking Cartel Market Manipulation Intervention Update / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: DeepCaster_LLC
Is the gold price being manipulated? There are those who say no, while others say yes - notably The Gold Anti Trust Association (GATA) - and on balance it looks to an impartial observer (relatively) that the answer is probably in the affirmative. But perhaps no more so than any other commodities and some stock prices. There is a whole mammoth industry out there - the big banks, hedge funds etc. - whose whole purpose is to make money from money and the more you have in the first place the easier it is to do. Not by producing anything useful, but through manipulation of prices through short selling in huge volumes to drive prices down, buying on the turn, allowing prices to rise back up, taking profits, then more short selling to drive prices down again and the cycle continues. This works better in a bull market, which gold has been in for the past ten years or so.

Stock Market Breaks Neckline, Gold Trending to Below $1200 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
U.S. stocks fell, extending the market’s first quarterly retreat in more than a year, after Moody’s
Investors Service’s warning that it may downgrade Spain snuffed out an earlier rally.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index fell 1.1 percent to 1,030.11 at 3:45 p.m. in New York. It has
declined 12 percent since March 31, breaking a four-quarter winning streak that drove the
benchmark index for U.S. stocks up 47 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 115.44
points, or 1.2 percent, to 9,754.86.

Financial Markets Meltdown, Stocks SPX, Gold, Silver and Crude Oil / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
What a nutty week for the equities market! The bleeding has not led up with almost 2 weeks of straight selling. Also we are seeing oil break down with a rather large bear flag and if that happens, which it looks like it will… then hold on tight or cash out of the market!
There has been nothing but negative news for the past month and its not looking like there is much light at the end of the tunnel for a long time still… The only places which people feel some safety is in gold and silver. That being said the market is way over sold here and we could get a bounce lasting a couple days soon. But that bounce will be sold and pulled back down as it looks like a new bear market is starting.

Stock Market New Pullback Lows / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices started out the day with a strong surge, pulled back in an orderly fashion, and then made new highs by late morning. At that point they backed off and began a stair-step process over the next several hours only to accelerate and cascade lower in the last hour, sending the indices tumbling.

Stock Market S&P 1040 Breaches But Holds...For Now... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
Yesterday I spoke about the poor intra-day action as the stochastic's and other oscillators had unwound on the 60-minute charts back up but with no real price appreciation. You can't help but notice this type of behavior as we often see this on the same 60-minutes in reverse in bull markets. When a market shows almost no rise in price, but you get rid of oversold, it makes you think that things are shifting rapidly to the side of the bears. This had not happened in quite some time. All the 60-minute chart did was form a bear flag as things unwound in a very tight 15-point range. Today that flag broke down as so often happens in this set up. It did so with a huge gap down out of the gate as overseas markets were crushed on bad economic news from China.

The Only Stocks I’d Own Right Now / Stock-Markets / Dividends
By: Graham_Summers
Because I regularly receive emails from investors who need to remain invested in stocks to the long-side, I thought today we’re discuss which companies to own and why.
Investing has never been easy, but the last 15 years have been some of the toughest investors have ever faced, largely due to the fact that the US stock market has either been in a bubble or post-bubble Crash for most of that time.

The Black-Art of Predicting Stock Market Dead Cat Bounces: One More for S&P 500? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Andrew_Butter
On March 14th 2008 Nouriel Roubini’s made a prognosis about bouncing dead cats "Reflections on the latest dead cat bounce or bear market sucker's rally". I was so inspired that I conducted a very scientific experiment throwing dead cats off buildings to check how high they bounce; based on my findings I built a carefully constructed “algorithm” to prove beyond all scientific doubt that he was wrong.

Falling Percentage of Trending Stocks on the NYSE / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Donald_W_Dony
The percentage of stocks that are trending up on the NYSE Composite continues to fall. The number of equities on the Big Board that are trading above their long-term 200-day moving average has declined to about 37% (Chart 1). This means the majority of stocks are now descending. A reading of below 50% suggest a stronger correction is developing. Models illustrate that downward pressure is building as the 16-week cycle unfolds.

Watching 1045 on the Emini S&P Index / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Mike_Paulenoff
For no particular reason other than it was overdue (certainly), the Emini S&P 500 (e-SPU) this morning staged a recovery bounce in the aftermath of its 99.25 point plunge off of the June 21 rally high at 1129.50, though has since given back some of its gains.

Some ECB Relief But US Jobs Disappoint / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Yesterday was marred by more doom & gloom; not a glimmer of light throughout the European day. It started with China being battered after some alarming downward revisions to the Conference Board’s leading index for China overnight. Other negatives (and take your pick) included:

Stock Market What's Next? The Obvious Take / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Guy_Lerner
The "fat pitch" that was looking good has fizzled into a stinky, foul ball. In all likelihood, we are looking at a bear market.
Tuesday's horrendous and high volume price action has led to a break below our key pivot points. A weekly close below these support levels represents a failed signal. Failed signals generally are a hallmark of a bear market. Thusly, there is significant downside risk.

The Future Market for Alternative Cars / Stock-Markets / US Auto's
By: Frank_Holmes
Tesla became the first American automaker to go public since 1956 today as shares began trading under the ticker TSLA on the Nasdaq. With its most expensive car selling for more than $100k, Tesla is looking to strike a chord with wealthy yet environmentally conscious car buyers. Later this year, Chevrolet hopes its Volt (a price tag about half the size of the Tesla Roadster) will become the first electric car for the masses.
