Stocks Valuations and Market Psychology, Greed is the Winner, Fear is Waiting / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Shaily
One of the best newsletters that I have read recently is the Greed and Fear, edited by Chris Wood. Remarkable for its clarity and yet leaving enough material for the analyst to make his own calls.

Why the Stocks Bulls Can Stand Strong at Home and Overseas / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: Stocks enjoyed another plus week, closing one of the better Marches of the past 80 years. It seems like ages since volatility has been this low, and there have been many complaints about complacency and listlessness. Yet those concerns may be misplaced if indeed we are enjoying the second leg of a normal bull cycle. Low volatility in a bearish phase does suggest complacency, to be sure, but in a bullish phase it serves more to keep expectations in check.

Stocks Bucking Bronco Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
What a crazy week!
The markets were bucking like a bronco but were they trying to throw off the shorts prior to a move back down or trying to flush out the weak-handed longs prior to a big breakout to new levels? After gapping open to 10,900 on Monday morning we went up to 10,950, down to 10,830 and back to 10,950 - all to finish the week at 10,927, which is up 39 points since March 23rd so don’t tell me we’re wasting out time as that’s 5 points a day baby (if we round up).

By: Piazzi
S&P has been hanging in there near resistance. That should be quite frustrating to bears and out-of-position bulls.

Financial Manipulation on Wall Street: An Economy run on Smoke and Mirrors / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Bob_Chapman
We have an economy run on smoke and mirrors, based on the manipulation of markets. That was accomplished via the executive order signed by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 in the aftermath of the stock market collapse of October 19, 1987, known as the “President’s Working Group on Financial markets.” This order intended to be implemented during emergencies has been used to manipulate markets worldwide 24/7.

Stock Market Investor Sentiment, A Different Look / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment
By: Guy_Lerner
Very often when looking at sentiment indicators, many market practitioners view the data as an all or nothing phenomenon. Either we are all in or too extreme in our opinions, and it is in those extremes that market turning points occur. That is how it is suppose to work. But as we have found out in 2009 (like in 1995 and 2003), prices can continue meaningfully higher despite extreme readings in the indicators. It should be obvious that looking for extremes to call turning points in the markets doesn't work all the time.

Crude Oil, Gold, Bonds and S&P Update from Commitment of Traders Report: Oil is Bullish / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Shaily
S&P short interest have hardly changed giving us very little clues after last weeks record short covering by large funds and institutions. There have been no follow up to the short covering and hence leaves the downside exposed for the coming week. We expect the S&P to correct and continue to be bearish short term. While our bearish all last week has not born fruit, it has not harmed us either as S&P still is stitting at the juncture where it can correct strongly to levels closer to 1120.

Stock Market Crash of 2014 / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Daniel_Bruno
At market turning points, mood is often extreme. Take the pessimism at the start of Obama’s term in January, 2009. Who would have guessed that Barack Obama’s first year in office would be the best for stock market shareholders in 76 years.? What’s more, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, which gained 70% in the past 12 months, has a lot of room to run if history is a guide. Since the 1960’s, the average bull market has lasted about 1000 trading days and the current run up has exhausted less than 27% of that time. It will still be running up during the 2012 presidential election, reversing the appalling loss of 3.3 million jobs in 2009 and boosting the already strong odds that Obama will win a second term.

Stock Market Up Or Down Get Your Watch List Ready / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: David_Grandey
The theme over the past week or so has been that of no follow through and no decisiveness.
Earlier in the week we said we'd rather get that 1180 level out of the way and here we are tagging 1180 into the holiday. So now the moment of truth. Do we stall here? Or is it away we go to the 1226 level on the S&P 500. We'll find out some time next week. The big matrix computers make that call.

Stock Market Weak Mid Day...Strong Late Day Action........ / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
This bull market is really something to behold. It is doing mind boggling things we just don't see very often. Not even in some of your best bull markets. It is staying overbought on the daily charts longer than I can believe. Add in the fact that there are now some small negative divergences on those daily charts and you have to wonder why it won't correct. The bull market is alive and well but we really need and should be getting some form of a pullback based on the look and nature of those daily charts across all the major indexes.

The U.S. Jobs Report, Stock Market Rally or Finale? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Steven_Vincent
BullBear Trading Service members have been following my charts and posts as we approached the US Non-Farm Payrolls report to be issued on Friday morning. It seems as though the entire future of the market is pending on this single news item. This is, of course, known to be an economic release which tends to move the markets. Or does it?

Investors Winning The Banking Cartel’s Musical Chairs Game / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“A major crisis is building in the derivatives market yet a cabal on Wall Street is blocking the formation of a clearing house that could stop the next financial meltdown, a senior official with the Kauffman Foundation said on Tuesday…
The need for disclosure in the swap markets is enormous, yet the will to act is missing because of a small cadre of special interests, said Harold Bradley, who oversees almost $2 billion in assets as chief investment officer at Kauffman…

The Long Wave (aka The K Wave) “Jubilee” Cycle / Stock-Markets / Cycles Analysis
By: David_Knox_Barker
A Special Update for Market Oracle Readers
Announcing the Updated and Expanded edition of The K Wave (1995) as Jubilee on Wall Street (2009)
The long wave debate rages on. Meanwhile, the global debt berg, the chief product of crony state capitalism, has begun to block the profligate paths of listing ships of state. The confident captains of crony state capitalism are at the helm, sailing into the foggy financial abyss of cascading sovereign debt defaults. The growing black hole of sovereign debt threatens to pull the global economy into its collapsing vortex, the quintessential black swan event. Coming out the other side of the black hole of collapsing debt beyond 2012, we suspect the world will be a very different place. A new golden age will dawn.

Indonesian Stock Market Continues to Soar to New All Time Highs / Stock-Markets / Emerging Markets
By: Trader_Mark
While many emerging markets have stalled out in 2010 digesting huge 2009 gains, Indonesia continues to ramp in quite methodical fashion. This despite a 87% gain last year. Certainly this has been a missed opportunity as we should have pounced last May... or July... or September... or November [May 22, 2009: Indonesia: A Must Own Emerging Market] [Jul 9, 2009: Indonesia's Star Continues to Rise on Back of Yudhoyono's Re-election] I'll admit, both times the Market Vectors Indonesia ETF (IDX) broke serious support (Nov 09, Feb 10) I hesitated as I was worried about a much larger selloff. Instead, as in the US, the market just turned around and staged a V shaped turn.
