Stock Market Investing, We’re All Speculators Now / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
As I watch the drama of the financial markets and consider the enormous impact they have on every aspect of our daily lives, I am amazed by the vast difference of opinions held by the public. Now, I don’t mean the financial press or the press in general; what I am talking about is our basic understanding of the very financial world that we have grown to take more for granted with each passing day.

Stock Market S&P 500 Bearish Black Cross Lurking? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
My view on the S&P 500 is that right now it is 28% undervalued but it will keep on being undervalued until all of the detritus from the past seven years of fiscal insanity get’s cleared out. So basically it’s going to drift sideways for quite a long time with it’s value determined roughly by the ratio of nominal GDP divided by the yield of the 30 Year Treasury.

Emerging Markets Investing 2010, Colombia Is Open for Business / Stock-Markets / Emerging Markets
Following a recent group email exchange with Louis James, the truly tireless editor of Casey’s International Speculator currently kicking rocks in Colombia, one of the non-Casey Research participants in the exchange commented, “You guys are doing it right. How many research shops have emails that start out with ‘Greetings from Medellin’?”
This is not Louis’s first trip to Colombia but just one of many. This time he is there to update his notes on what’s going on down there, now that some semblance of political stability has reignited interest on the part of large and small exploration/mining companies alike in Colombia’s rich mineral endowment.

Gold, Commodities, Stocks and Financial Markets Mega-analysis / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
The world’s attention is focused on Greece’s sovereign debt problems – a budget deficit that is 12.7% of gross domestic product. Consequently, Greece needs to sell 53 billion euros of debt this year, the equivalent of about 20% of its gross domestic product.
This has caused the yield on Greek bonds to rise to 7.16%, which in turn lowers bond prices (value). For 2009, Greek bonds had a negative return of 0.76%. The spread between Greek bonds and German bunds is about 300 basis points.

Stock and Commodity Market Investors Heading for Six Months of Hell / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
In last week’s column, I reviewed the profits you should have bagged the week earlier. Total now, since March of last year, assuming you followed all of my suggestions: 11 closed out trades, including 9 winners — with gains of as much as 91.7% — one breakeven trade, and one loser. Not bad for just over 10 months.

Europe China Connection Threatens Stock Markets / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
Jon D. Markman writes: I was watching the Asia Edge show on Bloomberg television Wednesday night when the lovely and smart Susan Li broke in breathlessly on her guest with news about China's consumer inflation numbers. Inflation was reported up just a touch in January, which was considered good news because if it was higher it would have made Chinese banking authorities more anxious to clamp down on interest rates and if it was lower it would have raised the awful specter of deflation.

Are We in a Stocks Bull Market and Bear Market? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
Current Position of the Market
Very Long-term trend - Down! The very-long-term cycles have taken over 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 2011-2012.

And as time passes, we’re beginning to see that these threats, including a growing sovereign debt crisis, rising protectionism, and threatening asset bubbles, are becoming ripe and dangerous.
