U.S. Treasury To Take Ownership Stake In Banks / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis Bailouts
By: Mike_Shedlock
The Fed and Treasury are perplexed. Liquidity schemes like the TAF, PDCF, TSLF, TARP, ABCPMMMFLF, and the CFFF did not help stimulate bank. Liquidity measures cannot solve the crisis or stimulate lending for reasons stated in Pushing on a String In Academic Wonderland and Thoughts On The Commercial Paper Funding Facility .

Stock Market Tickertape Death March towards Financial Collapse / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Jim_Willie_CB
Pardon the jumpy style, not burdened by depth, preferring breadth instead. The events of the last few days continue to be remarkable, alarming, chaotic, surreal, and desperate. The globe is slowly realizing that the United States is careening toward a probable financial death experience. Nothing has worked to date, and nothing will work in the present, not bailouts, not liquidations, not nationalizations, not papered over fraud, and surely rate cuts. The stark reality contains a blur of a massive locomotive derailed, having run over the mountain ledge, heading downward in a freefall, subjected to the force of gravity, and ripping through a gigantic erected paper net designed to halt its crash.

Stock Market Indices Unable to Hold Snapback Rally Gains / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Harry_Boxer
The markets had an extremely volatile session today with wild and wide swings both ways. The day started out with a move lower and sharply from the get-go as pre-market futures were sharply lower. At that point the Nasdaq 100 dipped under 1300 to 1296, and the S&P 500 got down to just under 971.Read full article... Read full article...

By: NewsLetter

Financial Crisis 2008 Similar to 1987 Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Doug_Wakefield
It's been almost five years since my oldest son and I produced a 45 minute film to see what could be learned from studying the history of certain monetary trends that have been unfolding for decades. And, in our July 2007 newsletter, when I told our readers that we appeared to be at the beginning of a worldwide credit contraction, I quoted from President Franklin Roosevelt's May 7th , 1933 fireside radio chat to the nation.

Financial Markets Regulations, Baseball and the Law of Unintended Consequences / Stock-Markets / Market Regulation
By: Frank_Holmes
With the World Series coming up soon, it seems timely to compare some key financial regulations to the rules of baseball.
Say the visiting team scores on an error in the top of the first and the home team fails to score in the bottom of the inning. Under the current mark-to-market rule for securities, known as FAS 157, the game would be over at that point -- there would be no chance to play the other eight innings so the home team could try to get the run back.

Nasdaq QQQQ Trends Remains Bearish / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
In a few of my recent updates in the Q's (NASDAQ: QQQQ), I mentioned an optimal next trading target zone of 33.00 to 31.50. With this morning's low at 31.35, I am on alert, watching the pattern development off of the new low in an effort to determine if the Q's are a high confidence buy (yet). With that in mind, let's notice the near-term declining tops line off of yesterday's mid-session peak prior to the last hour plunge.Read full article... Read full article...

Stocks Bear Market Returns With a Vengeance / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Christopher_Quigley
The bear has returned with a vengeance. It looks like the Paulson bailout package was too little too late. The lines in all the major averages that were being drawn since June have now been crashed to the downside. Thus our decision to wait on the sideline last month has been vindicated. It was one of the worst stock market months in years and it is bound to get much uglier before a bottom is reached. Hopefully capitulation will come sooner rather than later. Read full article...

Stock Market Crash- Where's the Bottom? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Weekly_Wizards
Our Wizards Harry Boxer, Mike Paulenoff and Jack Steiman weigh in this week on the direction of the markets.
According to Boxer, author of The Technical Trader : We are in a critical mode in the market. From mid-August to early October, literally only 6 weeks, that's all it's taken for the NDX to go from 1973 down to 1329, nearly 650 points, or about a third of its value, culminating with a spike down into what looks like perhaps very close to an important major low. We'll see if that occurs. There are very difficult fundamentals right now in the economy and we're not getting any good news. But we are stretched to the downside way more than we'd expect, and the oscillators, the VIX/VIXN and many other technical indicators I follow are at multiyear, if not historical, levels.

Stock Markets to Fall Another 25% Due to Margin Debt Deleveraging / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Ashraf_Laidi
There is one concrete reason why US indices could lose at least another 20-25% from current levels. The powerful correlation between margin debt usage by member firms of the NY Stock Exchange and the trend of major indices such as the S&P500 and the Dow Jones Industrials Average suggests further selling ahead in the main indices.

The chart below sums it up and tells us that the S&P bear market is almost over. Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Rebounds from Crash Low Amidst Extreme Volatility / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Harry_Boxer
The markets had another historic day today with extreme volatility both up and down, mostly to the downside early. The indices opened sharply lower on a gap-down and slid hard, had a sharp morning bounce that took the NDX from 1358 back to 1406 , nearly a 50-point rally. At the same point the SPX went from 1027 to 1056, but they were unable to sustain. Read full article... Read full article...

The Big Bailout of 2008 Will FAIL to Rescue Crashing Financial Markets / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis Bailouts
By: Michael_J_Kosares
The chickens come home to roost - You get a sense that America's chickens have come home to roost. Instead of learning from our past mistakes though, as the idiom above is meant to suggest, the nation appears intent on compounding them. The Great American Bailout of 2008 is simply more of the same -- more debt, more easy money, more moral hazard, more taxpayer responsibility, and more government intervention. Quite literally, the government has once again applied a band aid, papered the problem over and delayed once more what will certainly be an even worse day of reckoning. Yes, the chickens have come home to roost, but for all the roosting all we have gotten is more chickens. Read full article... Read full article...

Crashing Nasdaq QQQQ Have Unfinished Business on the Downside / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Mike_Paulenoff
While the cash SPX violated its 62% support level of the 2002-2007 bull phase, the Q's (NASDAQ: QQQQ) have just tested the similar level at 33.33, which thus far has held the selling onslaught. In that my weekly RSI momentum gauge is making new lows, coupled with breakdown of the SPX, suggests strongly that the Q's still have some unfinished biz on the downside. My next near-term optimal targets are 31.70/50 and then 30.00-28.90.Read full article... Read full article...

Bailout Dramas Generate More Stock Market Black Mondays / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets
By: Regent_Markets
Another dramatic weekend saw four banks receive government bail outs, not to
mention the further file sales and mergers. Mondays have been chaos for the
last few weeks, as governments on both sides of the pond prefer to work
through major announcements, mergers, and bailouts, over the relative calm of
the weekend. Although Bradford and Bingley grabbed the headlines in the UK,
governments in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxemburg had to throw billions
at Fortis, while Germany guaranteed loans to Hypo Real Estate. In the US,
investors waved goodbye to Wachovio as a takeover by Wells Fargo pleased
traders, in part as it indicated further mergers and acquisitions might be on
the cards. Read full article... Read full article...

Nasdaq Break Below 2000 Confirms Severe Collapse of the Economy / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Jack_Steiman
Before I get in to what took place today I want to discuss a very important breakdown in the Nas today. If we go back to late 2005 and again late 2006 there is a very nice double bottom at Nas 2000. Yes, we closed below it yesterday but only by 1% and with the House decision on the bill today, it was an important day to see if the Nas could get itself back above that critical 2000 level. The fact that it feel more than 1% to 1947 confirms officially that 2000 break. A triple bottom breakdown. Nasty stuff. When an index retests a low as the Nas did late in 2006 in is very important that this level gets defended on any future selling. Read full article... Read full article...
