Euro Plunge, Stocks Bear, Gold Topping and China SSEC Reversal / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Euro Drops, Stocks Trim Weekly Gain on European Debt Concern - The euro slid to the lowest since the aftermath of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s collapse and stocks tumbled, trimming a weekly rally, on concern the sovereign debt crisis will trigger a breakup of the European currency. Oil fell to a three-month low and U.S. and German bonds rallied. Read full article... Read full article...

Indian Stock Market Detailed Technical Analysis with Chart studies / Stock-Markets / India
By: StocksBuddy
As stated in our analysis from previous analysis, market did rally back from the oversold levels. Though market did bounce back, it once again found resistance at the center line of BB which runs around 5200. Market took cues from global rally and echoed the same here. However, towards the end of the week, all the enthusiasm waned. EUR, got a facelift on monday with a $1trillion bailout in Europe. However, it gave up all of the gains from monday and actually has broken down big time during the week.
US markets too ended up on a sour note on friday and Asia is expected to open flat to negative on monday because of this.
A lot of action took place last week.
Nifty once again found support outside of the lower Bollinger bands. Each day nifty went down, it had a long hammer. This clearly suggests that nifty does not really want to go down, but is going down because of reasons beyond it's control, viz. global conditions. This shows the relative strength of nifty. The question everyone has been asking is whether this is just a minor correction or is it start of a new downtrend. Looking at weekly chart, it doesn't bode well with Bulls right now as we have a "Shooting Star". Good news in this bad one is that nifty closed positive for the week.

Stock Market Steep Losses Despite Late Snapback Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
Well, the week ended on quite the negative note, as the stock market indices started sharply lower and moved lower for most of the morning. About 11:30 they bounced, then backed and filled for several hours in what appeared to be a basing attempt. After a late afternoon retest of the lows on the S&P 500 for the third time, they held, then snapped back sharply, and for the last 30 minutes took back a big chunk of the losses.

Has The World Had Enough Of Governments?......Market Has!.... / Stock-Markets / Government Intervention
By: Jack_Steiman
When Governments start to intervene on everything maybe it's time for them to stop. Maybe the stock market is sending a message that it has had enough of their constant interference. The Government is trying to make the world pay for others discretions. How many more taxes can they create so we can pay for their bail outs for those who deserve to fail? How many innocent people have to lose their jobs because the Government puts undue tax burdens on corporate America and corporations around the world that will force these corporations to fire employees? At what point does the pot runeth over and we have more than we asked for? Will there be blood on the streets? Riots such as those that we saw in Greece right here in our back yards!

Stock Markets In the Eye of a Financial Storm? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Sy_Harding
Living in Florida I’ve been in the eye of several hurricanes. In the eye, one side of the storm has passed and there is great relief. There’s some rubble and signs of destruction, but the sun is shining. We begin to pick up the pieces. There’s a hopeful feeling the danger has passed. Then you listen to the weather forecasters and learn it’s just a temporary respite. You’re in the eye of the storm. The other side of it is about to arrive, sometimes with more fury than the first side.

By: Nadeem_Walayat

What's the VIX Saying For the Stock Market Trend? / Stock-Markets / Volatility
By: Marty_Chenard
Remember the old story of the "Three blind men and the elephant"?
In the tale, each man touches a different part of the elephant and think it is something different. One thinks its a snake, another a tree, and the versions of this story carry on. But, what is the same is that all three disagree with each other and are in conflict.

Stock Market Freak Out Friday / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
The Euro fell below $1.25 this morning and the Pound plunged all the way to $1.45 as the new government of the UK gets the fastest "no confidence" vote ever delivered by the financial markets. Keep in mind that only 36% of the people in the UK wanted Conservative leadership. The Labor Party got 29% of the vote and further left Liberal Democrats got 23% of the vote with crazy parties getting 12% of the vote. This is the problem with multi-party systems - MORE than half the people are unsatisfied with the result of almost every election.

By: David_Knox_Barker
Theory is no substitute for experience and the honed instincts of investors and traders. However, it is reasonable to inquire as to the origins of those instincts. Successful investors and traders appear to recognize subtle patterns and trends in markets ahead of the crowd. They invest and trade accordingly. The new Theory 144 approach to technical analysis is in pursuit of the principals behind the patterns and trends in the stock market.

By: Jack_Steiman

Euro Tarp Bailout, Here We Go Again / Stock-Markets / European Stock Markets
By: Richard_Shaw
The nearly $1 Trillion bailout by Europe of Greece and whichever countries come next, is like an echo of the US TARP rescue of banks in 2008. It is similar in size, similar in its intention to save the banks from their own bad decisions, similar in making taxpayers eventually pay for the mistakes of the banks, and perhaps similar in other outcomes. One outcome that should be noted is that the US and world stock markets continued to fall for several months after TARP. That pattern may repeat. We need to be prepared for that possibility.

The Stock Market Fix is in the VIX / Stock-Markets / Volatility
By: Joseph_Russo
To measure the ongoing success or failure of massive QE "working groups" interventions, all one needs to keep an eye on is the VIX. Readings below 20 suggest, "The FIX is in", whereas readings above 20 diminish the mission control effort to reflate monopoly-saving bubbles.
In effort to maintain control of supreme monopolies, policy makers and monetary authorities have successfully fostered an egregiously false paradigm of ever-rising paper asset values in setting policy and enacting legislation that in effect "FIXES the VIX" to extraordinarily low levels. This fuels rampant speculation, and excessive risk taking without regard for useful gains in productivity and the real economy over the medium or long-term.

The Day the Free Market Died / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Christopher_Quigley
Following quite a number of requests this brief will deal with my understanding of what transpired last Thursday the 6th. May when just after 2.30 PM the Dow Industrials collapsed by nearly 10% and then suddenly recovered in 11 minutes. The implications of what occurred are far reaching and unless the regulatory issues are resolved we can expect similar “events” of like nature.

What ETF Investors Can Learn from the May 6 Flash Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Ron_Rowland
If you had any doubt that today’s markets aren’t what they used to be, it should be gone after last Thursday.
U.S. stocks were already having a bad day thanks to riots in Greece, elections in the U.K., freezing credit markets in Europe and a growing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Within a matter of minutes that afternoon, even some blue-chip stocks went from bad to worse to catastrophic. Then, just as quickly, they came back!
