Indonesia, Get in on the Ground Floor of This Growing Global Profit Machine / Stock-Markets / Emerging Markets
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: I am enamored with Indonesia.
I've never been there. I've never met anyone from there. And it's not a country we hear much about. But it's the world's third-largest democracy (the current president got more votes than U.S. President Barack Obama). And it's one of the few Muslim countries - along with Turkey - that doesn't hate the United States as a matter of public policy.

Financial Markets and Economic Outlook Conclusions 2010, When Hope Turns to Fear, Part V / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Ty_Andros
As we near the APEX of the countertrend rallies in many markets and economies, the air is full of HIGHLY-COMBUSTIBLE situations just waiting for someone to light the MATCH. The full debacle of the next leg down in developed world economies is at the doorstep. What event will act as catalyst is unknowable, and the list of candidates is mountainous. Corruption and criminality within the public sectors, crony capitalists and banksters set the stage for an explosive cocktail, are set to immolate the private sectors that still produce wealth and the public at large.

Stock Market Gap Up And Late Reversal...Topping Stick Short-Term..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
One way for a market to top short-term is to have a long run up overall over several weeks or months and then have a gap up to new highs that reverses during the day and closes below the open creating a black candle. This means an up day but on balance sellers after the gap up. In other words, exhaustion! It's never a guarantee to be the top but often signals as such and thus we have to respond to it when it prints which it clearly did today. It doesn't necessarily mean the end of the bull market. Not by any means.

The Dow Marches On as Gold Investors Increasingly Throwing in The Towel / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Steve_Betts
“Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity!” - George Carlin
We continue to hear all sorts of optimistic comments about the recovery in the US, and the media tends to gloss over any less than optimistic statistics. There is always an excuse! In order to justify the discrepancies we invent new slogans like the “jobless recovery” in order to validate rising unemployment in a supposedly improving economic environment. Given today’s rather pessimistic housing numbers, you might want to call this the homeless recovery as well.

Q. What Follows a Stocks Bear Market ? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Nadeem_Walayat
A. A Stocks Bull Market
So why have most analysts and the mainstream press been obsessed with a 'bear market rally', always looking for an imminent end on EVERY correction ? Which has meant that the vast majority of investors have so far MISSED one of the greatest bull markets in history.

FXI FTSE Xinshua/ China 25 ETF Didn't Get The Message / Stock-Markets / Chinese Stock Market
By: Guy_Lerner
Aside from being on the wrong side of the market with my current S&P500 index short trade, there are several other things that have me puzzled about the market's ascent. One of these conundrums is the i-Shares FTSE Xinshua/ China 25 (symbol: FXI).

S&P 500 Stock Market Rally Continues / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The powerful rally in the S&P 500 continues... beyond my next target of 1175 towards 1180, using the emini chart. My pattern work argues that a new upleg began at Sunday evening's "healthcare low" at 1144.50, which if accurate indicates to me that the e-SPM still has a number of upside "zigs and zags" ahead prior to completion, which could be at 1180, or 1200 at this point. Only a decline in the e-SPM that violates 1170 will begin to compromise that pattern and the upside projection.

How to Invest in China’s Turbo-Charged Economic Recovery / Stock-Markets / China Stocks
By: Tony_Sagami
I’ve been regularly and consistently telling you that the Chinese economy is doing much better than the mass media and Wall Street “experts” have been telling you.
It has taken them a long time, but those experts are starting to come around and believe in the economic growth miracle that is going on in China.

Despite Record Rally in U.S. Stocks, Oil, Commodities and China Will be the Long-Term Winners / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
William Patalon III writes: Although U.S. stocks have made a fairly smooth transition into Year Two of what's so far been a near-record bull market, there are still many traps that can quickly ensnare a less-than-cautious investor.
Moving forward, investors need to focus on quality, take the time to understand what's really happening in Washington, and turn to such once-unconventional investments as oil, commodities and China stocks, says Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald.

Sure Looks Like A Stock Market Top? VIX, NYSE, DOW & GOLD / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
I think many of you will find this article interesting as I show several different indicators which point to an imminent correction for stocks and precious metals.
Last Wednesday’s report I showed how the current price of the index was almost identical to the January peak from where prices dropped nearly 10%. The report was called “28 Day Sector Rotation, Commodity & Index”. We did get the first sign of toppy market last Friday with the sharp one day sell off as I expected.

Stock Market Selling That Actually Sticks..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
That's a nice change of pace for once. This market needed some selling and finally got it. There were many times during the day when it seemed the market would try and go green, but for once it didn't happen, and I for one am glad it didn't. There comes a point, even if you're bullish, where you want some selling to unwind those overbought oscillators. In the back of your mind you know that the longer we go without unwinding some, the harder things will come down when it snaps. With today's selling the daily charts are now only borderline overbought while the 60-minute time frame charts are now a little more than halfway unwound from the top. It doesn't take too much selling for them to unwind some.

What if the Stock Market, Housing and Economy Since 1970 Was Just a Big Bubble? / Stock-Markets / Liquidity Bubble
By: Tim_Iacono
One of the things that many people go through their entire lives without ever realizing is that conditions haven’t always been the way they remember them to be. Due to the length of a typical lifetime and the number of those years that individuals are productive, it’s reasonable to think that someone in their mid-60s could retire today and look back at the last 40 years only to conclude that what they just experienced was normal.

A Stocks Bull Market or Just Bull? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: John_Browne
Last week, the Dow closed at 10,741, up some 64 percent since its 2009 lows, [03/19/10, Yahoo! Finance] when most markets had priced in the likelihood of financial Armageddon. As the markets have rebounded from the brink of disaster, many Wall Street cheerleaders have proclaimed the dawning of a major new bull market.

Stock Market Buyers Beware / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Toby_Connor
The rally off the February bottom is now going on 32 days. This is probably not the best time to chase stocks higher. I’ve been saying for a couple of weeks that the market needs to take a breather, preferably before earnings season as it would then be setup for a strong rally through April.

Stock Market Bulls Steps Up Again..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
This has been one of those bull markets that constantly make you earn your winnings. It has forced us all to play in to the teeth of some very overbought conditions. If we had followed conventional overbought rules we would have missed out on quite a bit of nice plays. Normally, when RSI's hit 70 across the board on the daily charts, that's it for the short-term. That rule applies in almost all normal bull markets. Not this one.
