Stock Market Sentiment Showing Fear... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
A while back, when I spoke about the need for the market to move lower based on sentiment extremes, I warned that fear would kick in hard and fast and that it wouldn't take long before the bears start to ramp up thus bringing the sentiment issue to a close. In fact, it would likely lead to having too many bears.

Stock Market Volatile Tape...Choppy Action... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
It's starting to get violent as both sides are fighting for control of this market. It's about the bulls holding on to the 200-day exponential moving averages while the bears are intent on holding any rally before the bulls can take back those 20- and 50-day exponential moving averages. There is a real fight going on here and for good reason. If the bears can take out the 200-day exponential moving averages on all the major index charts, they can declare victory as they will have removed all critical support with the 20's/50's and 200's all gone.

FEAR DAVOS 2010, Into The Bomb Shelter / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2010
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
Predators and parasites recently gathered in Davos to discuss the mounting problems of their prey. All present agreed the problem needed urgent attention.
Historian David Hackett Fisher describes this passing era as the period of Victorian Equilibrium. England’s Victorian Equilibrium, however, was built on banker’s credit, a foundation of sand; and like the story of Cinderella where the carriage turns into a pumpkin at midnight, the banker’s credit has now turned into defaulting debt and the fairy-tale world it built is collapsing.

By: Graham_Summers

For starters, the first thing we need to keep prominent in our thinking is that the market rally from March 2009-January 2010 was largely a technically driven rally fueled by easy money from the world’s Central Banks: Governments around the engaged in an unprecedented amount of stimulus/ bailouts and much of this money found its way into the financial markets.
