By: Mac_Slavo
Martin Armstrong is the former chairman of Princeton Economics and the Foundation for the Study of Cycles. As a cyclical theorist and economist Armstrong has predicted a variety of economic events, in many cases to the very day, including the stock market crash of 1987 and the precise movements of gold throughout the 1970’s up until the very top of the market in the early 1980’s. His models are not based on just economic data points, but specific historical cycles going back over 2000 years.

Stock Market SPX Levitation Rally Act 2 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Zeal_LLC
In less than 8 weeks, the flagship S&P 500 stock index (SPX) has relentlessly powered 12.6% higher. This big run has been very unbalanced too, utterly dominated by long up-day streaks. And for the most part, the occasional down days have been trivial. The SPX simply continues to melt up day after day, its surreal levitation act making traders nervous.

Stock Market Forget About It Friday / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
What was all that worry this week - fuhgeddaboudit!
Nothing whitewashes a wall of worry like misdirection. Wave something shiny in front of investors - like gold going over $1,150 an ounce - and everything must be fine in the markets. What’s funny to a grumpy old fundamentalist like me is that gold is flying while the economy is "great" and the financials are in "great shape" and inflation is "tame" and crises in Greece, California, New York etc., etc. are nothing to worry about. So what exactly is the premise for buying gold?

Stock Market Selloff Needs Catalyst / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
So what will it take for this market to fall is the real question. Set up to fall. Starts to fall. Doesn't fall! It doesn't fall for a variety of reasons, but first and clearly the biggest reason, being the fear of missing out on something big. People just don't want to be left out in the cold. They don't want to look back some day and said they missed the biggest opportunity of a life time. Every drop of selling immediately gets bought up. It feels like a bunch of little kids who got angry and refused to play with their friends. After seeing them have a good time, they don't want to miss the next play date. Folks are like the energizer bunny. When can I buy? When can I buy? Of course, when too many want in and no one wants out, it all comes collapsing down. We're not there yet so relax. Probably not close either. However, sentiment has to be watched very closely here.

Are Bonds Hinting the Rally in Stocks Will Continue? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Hans_Wagner
Stocks and bonds typically move in opposite directions. When bond prices go down stock prices go up. This is one of the reasons many financial advisors recommend that investors hold bonds and stocks, as they provide balance to their portfolio.

The Engineering of a Financial Crisis / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Sol_Palha
"Nothing is more common on earth than to deceive and be deceived." ~ Johann G. Seume, 1763-1810, German Theologist.
The Dow continues to put in new highs but our 3 moving averages of new highs are trading well off the highs they put in last year. The 20 day moving average (current reading = 640) of new highs would have to surge past the 2500 mark to have a chance of putting in a new high. Based on this week's readings it would have to surge 400% from its current reading. It is very strange and disturbing that a market that appears to be strong is actually not as strong as it appears to be when one examines its internal structure.

Investing in Peru, South America’s Hidden Gem / Stock-Markets / Emerging Markets
By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes: When investing in the emerging markets, you need to cast your net beyond the obvious candidates. Granted, China, Brazil and India have emerged to become very attractive investment stories (I don't trust Russia, the fourth and final "BRIC" economy).

Mario's Market Takes: The New Reality Random Nightmare / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Mario_Cavolo
I have kept quiet for well over a week watching the threat of explosive upside frenzy boil and boil, listening to practically every very respected primary advisor I am in touch with suggest this explosive upside rally is very much possibly imminent..oh I love the wording. From 60 year cycles to "this is the inflationary response" which even I have said, to sneaky slow bull markets, the markets are only going up driven by obvious sovereign level strategy that the stock markets will indeed be the root of the recovery.

New Stock Sector Leadership Ahead / Stock-Markets / Sector Analysis
By: Francois_Soto
We just added new tools to analyze sector allocation on our U.S. Economics Monthly research. As of March 2010, the four sectors with highest momentums are consumer discretionary, industrials, technology and financials but that last one is starting to lose some steam (1 to 4). Can we expect these market outperformers to keep being the winners of the next 12 months? What is history telling us?

Predicting All Major Stock Market Crashes Since 1965! / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Francois_Soto
Discovery
We unexpectedly discovered two sets of conditions preceding every major S&P 500 peak since 1965! We coined such signal the imminent Credit Complacency Crash - CCC. When these two sets occur, it always (so far) caused major stock market crashes. We define a crash as a decline of more than -15%.

Stock Market Bullish Pullback Starting... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
I truly believe that this market is only pulling back and setting up again for further gains. The selling should be sporadic. Nothing severe at all. So many stocks hit hugely overbought levels but for the first time many of them we're starting to flash negative divergences on their daily charts. When you add in negative divergences on many oscillators such as RSI, MACD and stochastic's, it's time to relax, take a deep breath and not feel any urgency to be buying any longer.

Stocks Bear Market Rally Update, Dissent with Authority / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Joseph_Russo
One of the most essential elements present at the very founding of America was that of well-reasoned and persistent dissent.
A healthy and aggressive dissent against proclamations of those in authority often results in clearer perspectives on matters of substantial import.

Has the Wall Street Journal Lost its Mind? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
In a recent piece from the Wall Street Journal titled “Stocks' Parallel Universe,” columnist Richard Barley paints a relatively rosy picture for an otherwise unexciting stock market. Using recent data and historical examples, Barley attempts to solidify the “soaring” (which is 5.2% year to date) returns of the stock market as a function of an improving economy and stock market. In our humble opinion, his analysis couldn't be further from the truth.

Stock Market More and More Chum / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
The market can not blast higher but has been able to grind higher. There is a reason for this. When markets get full or mature short term only, they need some selling to unwind these overbought conditions. The bull keeps it grinding higher and we have been great beneficiaries of this, but the reality is, there can be no real blast off from here without some real selling first. You can feel the "fullness" of this market. It tried to overcome early morning selling and did its usual good job of doing so but all day was spent in grind mode. The rubber band will snap.

Stock Market Toppy Tuesday, LA City Runs Out of Money on June 30th? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
Is Los Angeles unique or just the first?
City Controller Wendy Greuel declared an "urgent financial crisis" and said the only way to continue paying bills in the short term was to begin to drain the city’s already limited emergency reserve. Greuel said the city would need to pull money from its $191 million in reserve funds immediately to pay its bills next month. She expects the city to be out of money, and probably in the red, by June 30. Some officials fear that using that money would not only leave the city without reserves in case of emergencies, it would also probably trigger another downgrade in its Wall Street credit ratings.
