"Banging" the U.S. Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Janet_Tavakoli
Chicago residents grew up to the sound of local early morning radio rundowns of pork belly futures and other exchange traded commodities. Every trick in the book from manipulation of soybeans to silver has played out in Chicago's trading pits. Every market professional I've talked to in Chicago since Thursday is of the same opinion. It makes no difference whether human beings or computers are front running and manipulating trades. The gyrations in the market last week have the look and feel of classic market manipulation.

Stock Market SPY Projection / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: David_Banister
We were in front of this latest downdraft and also correct in my bullish projections for Gold at the same time. Gold has hit 1210, the SPY has hit sub 113, which was the initial area for a minimum bottom. We have to put aside some of the computer related problems and look at around 110-111 as the recent bottoming areas on the SPY ETF.

The Dangers of Quant Computer Trading Models, Dow's 1000 Point Drop Prime Example / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Sol_Palha
"Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will want to use it." ~ George Bernard Shaw, 1856-1950, Irish-born British Dramatist
The initial trigger for the drop in the Dow was probably due to fears that the Greek crisis was going to spread. One could credit this for 300 or maybe even a 400 point drop in the Dow; however, a 1000 point drop is quite another matter.

E.U. Bailout To the Rescue Sends Stock Markets Soaring / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Well the cavalry finally arrived and better late than ever. In as dramatic a U-turn as we’ve witnessed in financial markets history the EU goes nuclear with a 3D type of unprecedented measures to remove the threat of global contagion. This is the mother of all aid plans that dwarfs previous leaks and speculation in a show of steadfast political determination to stop the rot.

By: PhilStockWorld
I mean really - how much money did you lend Greece? Perhaps you wrote Spain a check? France??? Well, you did now! $220Bn of that money came from the IMF and 20% of the IMF’s money comes from the USA as we once again paper over the global financial crisis for another month or two - whatever respite $1,000,000,000,000 buys us these days…Read full article...

Stock Market Corrections Are Beautiful - Shop At The Gap / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Steve_Selengut
A correction is a beautiful thing, simply the flip side of a rally, big or small. Theoretically, even technically I'm told, corrections adjust equity prices to their actual value or "support levels". In reality, it's much easier than that.

Europe Detonates Nuclear Option, Prints $1 Trillion, Sparks Renewed Market Euphoria / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis Bailouts
By: GoldCore
The unprecedented $1 trillion EU bailout and printing money to buy bonds package has led to renewed risk appetite. It has seen equity markets surge in a euphoric buying splurge (European stock markets are up between 4% and 11%) and the euro has strengthened against most currencies (see Cross Currency table). Gold has fallen 0.8% in dollar terms and by more in other currencies and the bouncing euro. Read full article... Read full article...

By: Chris_Vermeulen
As we all know, last weeks stock market blip/mini crash was very emotional for those of you watching or trading it live. A lot of money changed hands last week and you either lost a bundle or made a bundle…
I did send out some charts and a video on Thursday night about the market crash/recovery if you have not seen it. It’s called “Stock Market Micro Intraday Crash Shows Us Where The Safe Havens Are”.

Stock Market Extreme Volatility Continues Below S&P 500 1150...... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
The past few days have been something you don't see very often. 2000 point swings in the Dow each day. It really does blow your mind to watch this type of volatility on consecutive days. Not the normal behavior for sure, and the fact that it's taking place below critical support at 1150 S&P 500 on high volume, doesn't exactly bode well for the bulls short-term at the very least. When markets are ready to change course, we often see violent moves. The side that was enjoying the trend is fighting to keep it alive. The new side taking over will have nothing to do that. Then comes the massive moves on a daily basis that will more than make your head spin. So what can we take from this action overall?

Current Position of the Market
Very Long-term trend - Down! The very-long-term cycles are down and if they make their lows when expected, the bear market which started in October 2007 should continue until 2014.
SPX: Long-term trend - Up! We are in a medium-term bull market, which is a corrective move within a long term bear market. This bull market should last until 2011

Silver Continues to Underperform, Failing to Clear Strong Resistance / Stock-Markets / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Clive_Maund
You have to feel a little sorry for silver. It has been suffering from an identity crisis - it can't make up its mind whether it's an industrial metal or a Precious Metal. You could see this on Thursday when as gold surged and the stockmarket tanked, it hardly moved. It was like a bewildered child at a country crossroads not knowing whether to follow its big brother gold and take the high road, or to follow the man with the candy and take the low road.

Did Bankster's Crash the Stock Market to Send a Message to Congress? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Mac_Slavo
In Conspiracy Fact or Theory news we ask our readers to consider the possibility that the 1000 point crash and subsequent recovery within a 30 minute time period was not a “fat finger” mistake, but rather, a clear message to our lawmakers that someone else, and not the American people, is in charge of America. This was a $1 trillion dollar move in stock markets, do you really buy that it was an accident as reported by the mainstream?

Don't Blink Or You Will Miss The Stock Market Crash! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The Dow Crashed on Thursday
The bottom line is that NO ONE SAW THURSDAYS CRASH Coming - NO ONE! Because it is Impossible to Forecast Stock Market Crashes as I have iterated several times over the years and in the Inflation Mega-trend Ebook. Anyone that says they saw it coming are giving you a load of B.S.
