New Stocks Bull Market? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Tim_Wood
In the wake of the price action seen this past week I have received numerous e-mails asking if this means a “New Bull Market” has begun. The answer is, No! Now, this is not to say or to try to deny the positive price action seen this past week. Fact is, based on the chain of events that have followed the June high, I did not expect the July 1st high to be bettered. However, the price action on Wednesday did in fact better the July 1st high and structurally, this was an obvious positive short-term development. The price action this past week also potentially has intermediate-term implications as well. But, this does not mean that a “New Bull Market” has begun. At best, this simply means that the counter-trend bear market rally that began at the March 2009 low may not have run its course.

Which Investments? as America Shifts Towards Thrift / Stock-Markets / Sector Analysis
By: Money_and_Markets
Mike Larson writes: Sometimes when we’re analyzing market trends … figuring out which investments to buy … or just trying to live our daily lives, we miss the forest for the trees.
We focus too much on the short-term trends and lose sight of the big picture. And we don’t think about what’s likely to happen over the next five or ten years because we’re just trying to make it through the next five or ten DAYS.

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.

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.

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.
