“WALL STREET” the Movie, And What It Means For the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment
I came across a rather interesting phenomenon recently. I am an avid observer of price charts and take an unorthodox approach (at times) to trading. I am a big fan of market cycles, Elliott waves, Fibonacci ratios, patterns, and believe in the all conquering theory that price action is the ultimate key to market success.

Stock Market Hanging Tough..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
This market is really trying to hang tough and hold S&P 500 1115. It's not bad if it falls below by a few points as the oscillators unwind from overbought, but that level held on today's lows as things finally started to pull back off their highs. As soon as it hit at 1115 buyers came in showing you what the bulls think of staying above this level just captured yesterday for the first time off the recent lows.

Buying the World's Cheapest Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Japanese Stock Market
Dr. Steve Sjuggerud writes: There is no greater investment value in the world of stocks today... and possibly in all of history... than small stocks in Country X.
Astoundingly, Country X has 200 companies trading on its stock exchange for less than the cash on the books. Said another way, they're selling for less than FREE. Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Doji's At The Top Of The Wedges..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
Today we saw most of the major index charts hit the top of their wedges with doji candle sticks meaning the sellers caught up to the buyers at this major resistance area. The top of the wedge is key resistance the bears want to make sure doesn't get taken out and when you get doji's at critical resistance, this usually means some type of pullback is upon us. It doesn't mean the selling is going to be intense. In fact, my guess is that there won't be too much selling at all but you have to be prepared for some. It also tells you that you need to be patient with new plays. Lots of plays will set up but they need unwinding to do so.

Financial Insanity or Loathsome Fraud, Creating Money to Buy Government Debt / Stock-Markets / Global Debt Crisis
Richard Daughty writes: I knew that something was amiss when I woke up and the house was quiet. Having the benefit of seeing a lot of movies where things were “too quiet,” I instantly knew that things being “too quiet!” meant that Indians were going to be attacking, or the Japanese attacking, or the Germans attacking, sometimes government goons rushing the place, or zombies, or the police. I dunno who, but you get the point.

Stock Market Bulls Vs. Bears, Who’s Winning Wall Street’s Biggest Battle? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
Jon D. Markman writes: Two big economic reports dampened the mood on Wall Street in the past week: The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller Home Price Index and the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index.
But despite what the bears would have you believe, several strong companies have shrugged such data aside and broken through to new highs. In fact, long-term, we continue to see evidence that a robust business-led recovery is underway.

The Dollar Nears it's Cyclical Ides of March / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
The indexes closed near the high of their monthly range. The S&P and the Nasdaq have been out performing the Dow.The transports were very strong Friday making new highs for the recent rally. The long term interest rates fell hitting levels last see two months ago, as bond prices also closed near monthly highs. You know a rising tide is lifting all boats when bonds rally, indicating a slowing economy and transports rally suggesting more products being moved and sold. Clearly the market smells a change in money flow.

Benefit of the Doubt Must Go to the Stock Market Bulls / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
A quick look at a chart of the SPX shows that price has essentially gone nowhere since October. Essentially there is no trend at this time and there hasn't been since October. Another leg down from a lower high would create a 6.5 month head and shoulders topping pattern.

Stock Market Pushing Higher From 20/50 EMA Support..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
No, we still haven't made it cleanly through S&P 500 1115 or the next area of strong resistance but at least we moved higher once the S&P 500 and the rest of the critical index charts tested their 50- and 20-day exponential moving averages from above. You don't want to see those captured levels get taken back by the bears thus it was put up or shut up time for the bulls and today they surely put up. A nice strong bounce off those 20's and 50's. Just what the doctor ordered.

Just One False Move and its Financial Armageddon / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
Just one false move on the part of our price managing bureaucracy and it’s all over – all over but the crying. Of course according to the Governor of New York it’s already over, where by the looks of things beneficiaries of the bureaucracy will be crying soon enough. But if its not now, it would most assuredly not be long after anyway, as for example, on a national level, even the bureaucracy’s own statisticians calculate that within 10 years commitments will consume some 80 percent of the federal budget all things remaining the same, meaning something must give, either increase taxes or cut services and entitlements.
