Deepening Financial Crisis As Stock Market Heads for a Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Bob_Chapman
Our view is that the elitists are currently buying time for the dollar, and stalling the rally in precious metals, by weakening other currencies until they are ready for the big stock takedown/correction. This process of supporting the dollar is becoming extremely expensive and difficult, so they had to take the Dow down 200 points on Thursday to start some stock contagion in Asia and Europe to flush some money into dollars and treasuries.

Two Reasons the Dow’s Rally to 10,000 Will Keep Moving Higher / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bull Market
By: Money_Morning
Jason Simpkins writes: The last time Dow Jones Industrial Average hit the 10,000 mark, it was plummeting from an all-time high of 14,163.53 as shell-shocked investors sought shelter from the worst financial crisis since The Great Depression. But this time around the blue chip index was on the upswing, surging 1.4% yesterday (Wednesday) to a close of 10,015.86.

Dow 10,000 Not a Bubble, Time to Abandon Old Stock Market Valuation Ideas? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bull Market
By: Andrew_Butter
One of my favorite comments on an article I posted on Seeking Alpha was on something I wrote in May earlier this year, it went like this:
"Wow...the more I look at this the more I think this is the worst piece of work I have seen in a long time…..big mistake, my friend…The baseline is just so wrong it screams! Ouch!”

U.S. Stock Markets Disconnected from Reality / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: John_Browne
Earlier this year, I predicted that the 2009 rally in U.S. stocks could bring the Dow Jones Index as high as 10,000. It looks like that level has been achieved. If, at this point, the index reverses course, I would have made a fairly good prediction.

Stock Market Breakout! / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
So we finally said goodbye to 1080 S&P 500 after trading in between the gap for a month or so. One break down below along the way that was quickly recovered. You had to figure it would take time to get through since the gap down from 1080 to 1060 in October 2008 was on massive volume and started another strong leg lower. Lots of willing sellers at that magical 1080 level.

Global Financial Crisis Polarising Market Perspectives- Credit and Credibility Chapter3 / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Richard_Karn
Chapter 3: “May you live in interesting times”
The global financial crisis has wrought such extensive damage that it has polarized market perspectives like nothing in our experience. The two prevailing camps may be categorized as those subscribing to variations on either the ‘green shoots’ or the ‘Dawning of the Asian Century’ themes and those believing the lull that has existed since early March is but the calm during the eye of the storm and global markets are in for a fresh, possibly more severe battering.

Stock Market Crash, Banking on a Repeat of 2008 / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Garry_Abeshouse
It’s happened before, it can happen again. -
In mid 2008 I accurately predicted the collapse of major US and European bank stocks, based in part on the analysis of my long term hand drawn Point & Figure charts. These same charts are now indicating a bull trap in the making and a probable return of the bear some time over the next six months. The V-shaped patterns on the higher performing banks together with the predominance of upward wedge patterns throughout the broader US market also indicate that we are entering an extremely high risk time even now.

Early Signals of a Maturing Stocks Bear Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Garry_Abeshouse
In my last posting I mentioned that some important bellwether charts peaked on or prior to the first week of August, 2009.
A survey of daily price charts of 199 Global Fortune 500 non finance companies showed that 59% actually peaked on or prior to the first week of August. For Banks, Finance and Insurance stocks (74) this percentage actually increased to 64% This means a clear majority of these large companies, almost 2/3, refused to follow the main US indexes to new market highs up on average about 13% +.

Earnings to Impact Stock Market Trend / Stock-Markets / Corporate Earnings
By: Jack_Steiman
Tis the season folks. Will we have Santa or the Grinch. As we sit in this annoying 1060 to 1080 S&P 500 gap we are wondering if it will ever break out or will it simply fail and ultimately break down. We are going to get our answer very soon. Tonight the real earnings season begins. No more Alcoa's (AA) but the real deal economy stocks are here for review. There's a lot of good news built in thus these stocks better say some real good things or they will get hit. They need to beat on earnings and revenues and do it with real sales and not cost cutting. That will no longer work with their stock prices up 100% or more in many cases.

Stock Market Bubble Now the Most Expensive US Market Of All Time / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Graham_Summers
140…
That’s the current P/E for the S&P 500 based on reported earnings (earnings that include write-downs). According to David Rosenberg of Gluskin Shef (and former Chief Economist of Merrill Lynch), no US market has ever been this expensive in history. The Tech Bubble, which by all accounts was an extraordinarily overpriced market traded around a P/E of 40 during its peak.

Stock Market Bull Trap Heading for a 50% Crash to 5,000 / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Captain_Hook
At the risk of getting ahead of myself prior to being able to confirm the turn, I am suggesting stock market action over the past week bears the distinct odor of a bull trap, with even informed technicians still waiting for a push to 50% retracements on the indexes. In this respect then, you should realize the context of such a bull trap would be profound in that we are talking about the March lows being tested and violated, meaning for example the S&P 500 (SPX) could be on its way down to test its namesake at 500 before this next sequence is all over. You will remember from previous discussions, and in framing context correctly here, it’s possible we could be looking at a Supercycle Degree Affair lower in global stock markets directly ahead, implying 500 on the SPX would be an optimistic target for a low.

Stock Market Rally Does Not Guarantee End to Bear Market / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Garry_Abeshouse
The S&P 500 Large Cap Index (SPX) has now risen 62% and the Dow 30 Industrials (INDU) has risen 53% from their respective March 2009 lows. Bear market rallies this large are probably a constant feature of major bear markets and do not in any way indicate on their own, that a rally of this type is in the early stages of a new bull market.

Debt Crisis of 2008 Transformed Into Dollar Crisis of 2009-2010! / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
