Stock Market Counter Trend Rally Near Reversing, Awaiting Top Confirmation / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
Current Position of the Market
SPX: 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. This would imply that much lower prices lie ahead. This will not be a straight-down decline, but a series of intermediate-term rallies and declines until we have reached the low point.
SPX: Intermediate trend - near reversing! The counter-trend rally which started in March is soon coming to an end. The price objective for a high is being reached and, to deceleration, we have now added negative divergence. But we cannot call a top until we have a confirmed reversal.

Stock Market Investor Sentiment Bullish Fodder / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment
The "It Takes Bulls To Make A Bull Market" scenario is playing out, and the best thing to do is not fight the tape. However, someone forgot to tell the Rydex market timers who continue to look for a top and short the market. For the last two months, they have become short covering fodder for the bulls.

In case you have not heard the news, China has announced that it will be instructing its state-owned enterprises to potentially default on their derivatives contracts.

Greenback Gases, Gold and the Meltdown of the Global Financial System / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
At the end of a good movie, oftentimes apparently unrelated events are woven together and it becomes clear how and why things happened. If, today, it feels as if we are at the end of an era, it is because we are; and, just like the movies, only at the end do certain events and the reasons for them become clear.

The US Government's Journey to Economic and Stock Market Collapse, Are we there yet? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
Regular visitors to LRC are probably scratching their heads by now. How can the U.S. stock market continue to zoom higher each day while the best that can be said of the U.S. economy is that the pace of job losses has slowed? Why are debates over massive new government programs overshadowing the economic typhoon that is slamming tens of millions of families with legions of unemployed adults?

Nasdaq and S&P 500 Stock Markets Breakout Over Two Year Downtrend Lines / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
The charts for the past month, if not more, have been suggesting, in normal times, that this market was about to take a big hit to the down side. After all, there have been existing massive negative divergences on many of the dailies on both the index charts and many individual stock charts, especially the leading stocks such as Apple Inc. (AAPL), Google Inc. (GOOG), and more. It's even more pronounced on recent leaders such as the financial stocks, especially the Financial Select Sector SPDR (XLF), or the Emerging Markets Telecommunications Fund Inc. (ETF) for that group of stocks. Just awful looking charts abound about everywhere.

Stock Market S&P 500 Uptrend Remains Intact and Dominant / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
It is remarkable that after a 6% upmove in six sessions, the S&P 500 closed down only 0.13% on Friday.
Early in the session the SPX made a new multi-month peak at 1048.18 prior to pulling back a bit. The price weakness did NOT inflict any meaningful damage to the nearest-term September uptrend. Only a decline that breaks 1025 will inflict preliminary damage, while a breach of 1008 will exacerbate the damage to a point of concern.

The Financial Industry Will Not Be Reigned In! / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
Did you think it would last, that feeling that Congress and the people were mad as hell and not going to take it anymore?
I refer to the anger over what Wall Street and the banking industry has done to the nation yet again, and the determination they will be brought under control so it can never happen again.

Financial Collapse, Whatever Happened to the Lehman Lad? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
"Look what happens when you let a financial system get to the edge of collapse..."
CASTING professional Seventies' Geordie James Bolam as Bank of America chief Ken Lewis was an inspired choice. This week's ridiculous BBC drama, The Last Days of Lehman Brothers, would scarcely be funnier without him.
