By: PaddyPowerTrader
In the era of celebrity economists and analysts real news of good earnings numbers from Google and the big blue IBM yesterday were swamped by the big “story” and controversy over what the fifth man of the economic apocalypse did or didn’t say.

Explosive Stock Market Rally Puts Bearish Market Patterns In Doubt / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Ashraf_Laidi
The explosive surge in risk appetite following the earnings blowout from Goldman and Intel is posing serious threat to the validity of the Head-&-shoulder formations in the S&P500 and the Dow30 at the 8.600 and 930 levels, supporting the case for protracted rebound in equities and overall risk appetite. But Thursday's bigger than expected decline (first sub-500K reading in 4-week moving average in 5 months) failed to prolong the rise in stocks and bond yields. Unexpected deterioration in the July Philly Fed index to -7.5 from Junes -2.2 and news of an imminent CIT bankruptcy are preventing the positive impact from Jobless claims and JP Morgan earnings.

What You Should Do If the Stock Market Falls Farther from Here / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Valuations
By: DailyWealth
Dan Ferris writes: Though the big stock market indexes are well below their late 2007 highs, I don't expect investors will make much money in stocks on the long side from current price levels. Record dividend cuts, weak earnings, and unattractive valuations are telling you to be careful buying stocks these days.

ETF's Open the Door to Investing in Foreign Stock Markets / Stock-Markets / Exchange Traded Funds
By: Money_and_Markets
Ron Rowland writes: Once upon a time, Americans who wanted to invest in foreign stock markets faced all kinds of hurdles. For example, brokers often weren’t able to process orders on non-U.S. exchanges. And the few good global mutual funds that existed tended to have very high loads and fees. Plus you could expect to be harshly punished if you tried to make a short-term trade.

Stocks Sky Rocket as Bears Scramble to Cover Shorts / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Stocks soared at the off and stayed bid all day, as shorts were hastily covered in the wake of Intel’s upside surprise (while choosing to ignore disappointments from Yum brands, JB Hunt and Dell). With risk appetite back, model-based accounts reportedly hungrily added to risk positive positions across the board – oil / gas/ gold / Baltic Dry Freight index are all up (the latter by a healthy 7.3%- it’s biggest gain since 2nd June). The index of fear, the VIX, made news lows for this cycle at 23.8 points.

Goldman Flashing Warning Signal for Entire Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Chris_Ciovacco
Goldman Sachs (GS) is a bull market leader and a stock we like at CCM. In fact, we would consider buying it if the right entry point were to present itself. Understanding the current health of market leaders can give us some insight into the health of the entire market for risk assets. When market leaders are healthy, the market as a whole tends to be healthy. When market leaders begin to stall, it could mean trouble for the entire market.The purpose of this writing is point out some caution flags that we are observing on the daily and weekly charts of Goldman Sachs.

Investor Risk Appetite Is Back But Look Beyond the Gloss / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Having run ahead of itself Monday the markets gave a muted response to Goldman Sach’s monster numbers yesterday, but the 28 point upmove in the Dow was enough to put it back into the black for the year for the first time since July 1st. After flip flopping for much of the day equities were given a fillip late on from a report from BoA / Merril Lynch’s Michael Hartnett who believes the recession ended in Q2 2009.

The $64,000 Question, Can Stocks Go a Lot Higher Despite Negative Fundamentals? / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Captain_Hook
Some might be reminded of the Abbott and Costello routine of ‘Who’s On First’ with this line of thought, but this is not the intention. The intention behind this line of thinking is to explain why stocks can go higher from here despite negative fundamental and technical underpinnings supporting them at present. After all, this is the $64,000 question on most minds right now. So, from my perspective it makes a great deal of sense to answer it because this is what we do in attempting to divine the future – a daunting task to say the least.

Daily Futures Markets Commentary / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: BrewerFuturesGroup
September British Pound - September British Pounds are called lower this morning based on the weak overnight trade. Trading can be described as defensive as investors are becoming more risk averse during this time period when U.K. stocks are weakening and the economic picture remains bleak. The sell-off overnight highlights the fact that traders are becoming more sensitive to the weakening equity markets and more attracted to safe-haven currencies like the Yen and the U.S. Dollar.

Banking Stocks Rally on Goldman Sachs Results / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Like a testosteron-fuelled Pamplonean bull, stocks lead by financials charged higher (in very low volume) on the back of the Laura Croft of banking analysts Meredith Whitney’s comments. She changed her mind, saying she’s now bullish in the short run that banks can gain another 15% on the back of account sleights of had and helpful legislative changes. She recommended buying Goldman Sachs, whose “results” are due today (shame she missed the first 200% of the price move) and even said BoA is worth a look (the stock soared 9%). But she remains bearish on equities in the longer run saying that unemployment will reach 13%.
