By: Barry_M_Ferguson
Question: How do you cook a stock rally?
Directions: Empty wallet into a microwavable bowl. Mix in any stock index of choice. Add a cup of central bank intervention and a cup of PPT spice. Microwave on high for five minutes. Eat immediately as spoiling will occur quickly as reality sets in.

By: Jesse
The Eurodollars estimate in the chart below is based on the BIS Banking Statistics from Commercial Banks and may not include official reserves held by Central Banks.
As you know the Federal Reserve stopped reporting Eurodollars some years ago, with the consequence that it also stopped reporting M3 money supply.

Investor Realities, Opportunities & Threats Preview 2012 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2012
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“The E.C.B. has a fire hose — its ability to print money. But the bank is refusing to train it on the euro zone’s debt crisis.”
Wrote Jack Ewing, New York Times, November, 2011
“Why not? According to the November 28th Wall Street Journal, ‘The ECB has long worried that buying government bonds in big enough amounts to bring down countries' borrowing costs would make it easier for national politicians to delay the budget austerity and economic overhauls that are needed.’

By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The up sloping Head and Shoulders pattern had successfully decline to its target of 1160.00. Normally head and shoulders neckline's are not recrossed once they are violated.

French Fried Banks Puts Central Banks in Panic Mode / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2011
By: Gary_North
Ben Bernanke is in panic mode. The November 30 coordinated announcements of six central banks regarding their intervention into the currency markets was exactly that – coordinated. If you think it was coordinated by anyone other than Bernanke, you are out of touch with reality. (Test: name the heads of at least two of the other five central banks.)

Manufactured Metrics and the Great Liquidity Pump / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2011
By: Andy_Sutton
Just When You Thought You’d Seen it All - As I wrote in the last installment regarding the situation in Europe, matters are progressing there much more quickly now as the continent sways back and forth between financial oblivion and a nervous peace brought about by paper promises (yes, paper promises) by central banks around the world. The purpose of this article is not to focus on the behind the scenes of these actions – we’ve already done that, but to examine some of the other outlying issues that are rarely mentioned.

Stock Market and AMEX Gold BUGS Contracting Fibonacci Spiral Implications / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2011
By: David_Petch
Christmas is in the air, with festivities of Ramadan and the Festival of Lights all culturally intertwining to form a more current version of celebration, as all traditions of the past have formed. Here in Winnipeg, the housing prices finally appear to have topped out, with no visible cutbacks on spending. There is a lot of money in this city...but on the other side, there are those that are barely getting by. This is the most rapidly growing economic group by far. In the past, there was religious discrimination, racial discrimination, sexual orientation and now the latest, economic discrimination.

Stock Market Money Printing Thrill Gone Already? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2011
By: PhilStockWorld
David Fry summed up yesterday’s action perfectly, saying "Wednesday’s massive rally was prompted by sudden global central bank intervention adding (printing money) liquidity (reducing the lending rate overseas to zero basically) to shore up sovereign debt in the eurozone. They basically set up a swap facility to do the job in the future. Is it a cure or a bailout? No, this is a handout. And it doesn’t solve the problems the eurozone is facing."

Why the Fed's Latest Rescue Effort is Doomed / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2011
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes:
World markets got a nice tailwind yesterday (Wednesday) on news that the U.S. Federal Reserve is stepping into the fray along with other central banks to boost liquidity and support the global economy.
Of course it's nice to see stocks get a hefty boost, but to be honest I'd rather see them rising on real news.

The Currency War Big Picture Analysis for Gold, Silver & Stocks / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2011
By: Chris_Vermeulen
I think you will admit that we are in the middle of one major crazy financial mess. The part that makes things really crazy is that it’s not just in the United States anymore but rather serious global problem which if not handled properly could change the way we live our lives going forward or possibly even spark some type of war, hopefully things don’t get that crazy… But I do know one thing. Fear is the most powerful force on the planet and people do some crazy things when they are backed into a corner.

Fed Does It Again...... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Jack_Steiman
This should not have come as a surprise to anyone. We've talked many times about the fed and the role of playing the savior. Not on my watch approach. He knew that if the Eurozone fell apart, so would our markets, and thus, the concerted effort with the world central banks to supply massive quantities of liquidity to help Europe out and keep the financial system humming along for at least a little while longer. Outside of our own back yard, the fed convinced England, Switzerland, Japan and Canada to join in and save the day. They agreed when they were made to realize that if the rest of the world goes down, so do each and every one of them. No one would be safe from the financial carnage that would take place. Not too tough a sell.
