Are You Ready for a Stock Market Crash of 2010? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Oakshire_Financial
Nick Thomas writes: With the precipitous tail end of 2008’s crash extending into March 2009 (and the relentless rise over the rest of the year), it hasn’t even remotely resembled a “normal” year for stocks.
Rising from the depths of gloom and abject terror that started the year, the bulls have taken charge and steadily driven the index higher in an nearly unbroken straight line.

Stock Market Cycle Target Met, Indexes Short Term Toppy / Stock-Markets / Cycles Analysis
By: Jim_Curry
In my prior article (December 2, 2009) I noted that the low that was registered in early-November was the confirmed bottom for each of the 45, 90 and 180-day cycles on the SPX. With that came along the expectation that the various US stock indexes would continue to see higher highs into at January of 2010 or later.

Why I am Bullish on India Economy and Stock Market 2010 / Stock-Markets / India
By: G_Abraham
India is 1/10 th the size of US economy and EU economy and yet holds far more promise and resillience than both these economies combined. While the world focuses on Chinese growth albeit with skepticism and caution at the numbers being thrown out, no such aspersions have ever been cast at India. Indian growth has been a transparent and extremely well led, consumer and infra story.

All Fiat Currencies Will Continue to Fall Against Gold / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Bob_Chapman
The rally in the dollar and the problems for other currencies prove what we have been saying and that is all currencies will continue to fall vs. gold. The impetus for the dollar rally originates as usual with the government and is added to by the disarray in the economies worldwide, particularly in Europe. One of the things central banks have never learned is that financial engineering only works for a short duration, after that the problem worsens. Even the world’s strongest currencies, the Swiss, Canadian, Aussie and Norwegian, are only holding their own versus gold. The reason why is almost all central banks have done the same thing and that is create money and credit recklessly at the behest of the US government.

Stock Market Selling To Come, Things Still Bullish Overall / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
Tonight I want to over multiple time frame charts with all of you to show you why buying anything new on the long side here is not the best of ideas unless you can scalp plays within hours. Not easy for the majority of you to do I know. I will be discussing the 60-minute time frame charts along with those critical daily and even weekly charts to show you what has set up and why taking on new longs right now is dangerous at best. Let me be clear that I do NOT think this market is going to get killed. Not one bit. I think the selling to come will be a wonderful opportunity to make great money going long. I just want all of you to be ready for a tough market in terms of upside in the very near future.

Are Stock Market Sentiment Indicators Useless? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment
By: Guy_Lerner
As we have chronicled, investor sentiment has not been a very useful tool for timing the market the past 6 months. The "Dumb Money" indicator has been extremely bullish since the end of July, yet the S&P500 has tacked on - albeit begrudgingly - about 14% since that time. Looking at the sentiment picture from the perspective of company insiders, insider selling has exceeded insider buying by historic amounts since May, and company insiders continue to sell significantly despite the strong gains.

U.S. Dollar, Gold Stocks and Inflation 2010 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Captain_Hook
In his most recent work, Martin Armstrong postulates that because of accelerating inflation, possibly leading to hyperinflation, a falling dollar ($), cycles associated with his Economic Confidence Model (ECM), and a move away from immovable assets by the investing public, stocks are destined to hit new highs as measured by the various indices around the world, and that such a move could begin in earnest at any time. And while he does allow for an alternative scenario, one where stocks could most pessimistically test the March lows in 2011 (an ECM low), using the Dow for discussion purposes, according to Martin a more likely scenario is that allowing for volatility, 2010 should be characterize by a trading range between 12,500 and 8,800, with new highs possible as early as 2011, the inverse of the possible low discussed above.

By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: I have been surprised to see the air thick with pessimism in recent weeks. Not so much the stock market, where the sentiment indexes show the bulls dominating the bears by slightly more than 52%. But among the general public.
