Oversold Stocks Entering Seasonally Strong Time Period / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Mike_Burk
The good news is: The market is deeply oversold as we enter a brief, but strong seasonal period.
Short Term - Most of the major indices had been down for 6 consecutive days through last Monday's low. Tuesday's rally was followed by 3 consecutive down days as of Friday's low. By virtually all breadth measures, the downside has been exhausted.

Stock Market Twelve-Year Weekly Breakdown....Close Below 741 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Jack_Steiman
We have spent time below 775, but never did we close below 775 on a Friday, meaning the weekly charts were able to defend that area from 12 years back. Today it became official as we closed dynamically below this level, leaving no doubt as to the markets intentions. Citigroup (C) was basically nationalized today and Bank Of America (BAC) isn't far behind. Behind that train is Wells Fargo (WFC). On top of that we saw General Electric (GE) cut their dividend to 10 cents from 33 cents quarterly. Not a bad day's worth of action. Bad news from just about every direction. Read full article...

This week Professor Jeremy Siegel (author of Stocks for the Long Run) had an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal showing that stocks are now cheap. I was on Tech Ticker, and Henry Blodgett challenged me about my e-letter last week, where I talked about how expensive stocks are. So which is it? We look at Professor Siegel's work -- and I let you decide.

Long the Semi-conductor Stocks SMH ETF / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Interesting day on Friday. When the dust settled, the Dow and the SPX were
on their lows, while the NDX showed relative resillience. Meanwhile, the
news was horrendous again, but there was no classic, acute flight-to-safety
trade...into bonds or gold or the dollar...that we have become accustomed to
seeing since last September.

Stock Indices Close Near The Lows for the Week / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Harry_Boxer
The indices had a very volatile session, swinging back and forth at least 12 times, failing on several occasions to breakout to the upside, but also holding early morning support lows for most of the day. But, near the end of the day they came down near the session lows and closed in a very negative fashion, particularly on the S&P 500, which closed right at the morning spike lows around 735 and just pennies off the low.Read full article...

United States Sinking Economy as Deficits Soar / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Are we rearranging the deck chairs on a sinking ship? - President Barack Obama forecast the biggest U.S. deficit since World War Two in a budget on Thursday that urges a costly overhaul of the healthcare system and would spend billions to arrest the economy's freefall. An eye-popping $1.75 trillion deficit for the 2009 fiscal year underlined the heavy blow the deep recession has dealt to the country's finances as Obama unveiled his first budget. That is the highest ever in dollar terms, and amounts to a 12.3 percent share of the economy -- the largest since 1945. In 2010, the deficit would dip to a still-huge $1.17 trillion, Obama predicted.

Obamalus To Hurt Corporate Earnings, CNBC Willful Ignorance Continues? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
The early market buoyancy yesterday was erased and indices faded badly to finish in the red on fears that the Obamalus would crimp future earnings of heath care and drugs companies. The plan contains provisions to clip Medicare payments to insurance companies and hospitals plus there are provisions to allow consumers to buy cheaper drugs from abroad. Stocks are headed for their worst month since last October. Read full article... Read full article...

Collapsing Earnings, Soaring PE Ratio Mean Much Lower Stock Prices / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Valuations
By: Hans_Wagner
Quick question. Is the current S&P 500 PE ratio trending down or up? If you are like most investors, you believe the S&P 500 PE ratio is trending down as the stock market plunges. After all, the P part of the ratio is dropping. Read full article... Read full article...

Bullish Pattern for Semiconductors SMH ETF / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
All of the action from October 2009 to the present represents a developing large base pattern prior to a potent upmove, or it represents a sideways congestion period ahead of another major downleg within the dominant bear trend. That said, however, my near-term work indicates that regardless of the outcome of the sideways pattern, the Semiconductor HLDRs ETF (NYSE: SMH) should be in the midst of a loop up to 18.00 and possibly 18.60 in any case. At this juncture, from a big picture perspective, only a smash beneath the 2/24 low at 15.82 will invalidate the current rally scenario.Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Sectors Worth Watching: Food, Gold and Healthcare… / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Oxbury_Research
In a bear market, we're always keen to spot anything that's outperforming its peers. Even the strongest stocks and sectors can get beaten down when panic selling or forced selling wreaks havoc on prices. It's a bit like boxing: even the toughest boxer can get rocked with a hard swing to the jaw. What sets apart the truly tough boxers is their ability to bounce right back up and continue the fight.

Stock Markets to Recover as Gold Bull takes a Breather / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
My previous editorial showed the super-bullish intermediate term (12 to 18 month) outlook for Gold. My technical work called for a correction that would lead to a massive surge beyond $1,000 and to $2,000. It now appears that the gold correction is here. More importantly, the near term peak in Gold is coinciding with what will be the first major tradeable rally in stocks during this historic bear market. Read full article... Read full article...

Credit Default Swaps: How Fleas Kill A Dog / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: David_Haas
I‘ve been on the lookout for an article with a concise description of the ongoing saga of the Credit Default Swaps (CDS) markets to pass along to readers and I have found a nice, simple one on the Guardian UK website. This article is written at a level any newbie can understand yet provides current news any veteran would appreciate. As a bonus, it conveys, once again, the scale of the debt bubble the world economy is trying to swallow which is now widely recognized as massive. Read full article... Read full article...

Late Session Dive Sends Stocks Indices Lower / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Harry_Boxer
The markets were quite volatile swinging down and then back up again and getting hit at the end of the day to close mostly lower on the session. The day started out with a gap down, and then we had a 5-wave decline that took us to the lows for the session around an hour after the opening. They bounced back, failed at resistance, and then retested, but that was successful. When that occurred the indices started an afternoon rally that was interrupted mid-way with a sharp set-back, with the set-back holding intraday moving averages.Read full article...

Nasdaq Q's Recovery Rally Incomplete / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
My near-term work in the PowerShares QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQQ) argues that the recovery rally that started at Monday's low of 27.73 and which extended yesterday to a high at 28.98 is only partially complete. After the current "intervening" pullback runs its course, the Q's should pivot to the upside for a test of yesterday's high -- on the way to 29.10/30 thereafter. Only a plunge that breaks and sustains beneath Monday's low at 27.73 will wreck my near-term scenario.Read full article... Read full article...
