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.

Stock Market Seasonality Versus Overbought..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
This is normally a very strong time of the year for the retail buying crowd. The market drifts higher even if the conditions aren't exactly perfect. This is what we currently have going on. The daily charts and the 60-minute charts are overbought. Intra day they were really at extremes of overbought, especially the 60-minute short-term time framers. RSI readings at 70 or higher with stochastics 90 or higher normally equates to a rather sizeable pullback.

Covered Calls Options Trading Strategy / Stock-Markets / Options & Warrants
By: Jay_DeVincentis
The basic covered call is a relatively simple strategy. The owner of a security sells the right to have their security purchased at a predetermined price in the future in return for money now. If the security price does not fall over the life of the option, the call writer will keep the premium collected when the call was sold. The call writer’s profit is limited in exchange for the premium.

Longer-Term Interest Rates, TBT, Climb with Equities / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Mike_Paulenoff
As persistent as the upside march of the stock indices has been since mid-December, so has the climb in longer-term interest rates (3.25% to 3.85% in 10 year YIELD). At what point higher interest rates and a sharply steepening yield curve negatively impact the attractiveness of equities is anyone's guess at this point. The only thing that is certain is that such an inflection point is getting closer by the day.
