NOLTE NOTES - Stock Market Rally on Low Volume - What, Me Worry? / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Paul_J_Nolte
Oil prices rise, the markets rise, as demand for oil remains high, indicating that the global economy is still chugging along. Oil prices decline and the markets rally, as lower oil prices will add to consumer's ability to spend. Let's face it; the markets are not really paying attention to oil prices, other than a convenient reason for a market rally. However, that rally is coming on lower volume and less participation than at any time since the August bottom.Read full article... Read full article...

With Market Uncertainty Comes Market Volatility / Stock-Markets / Volatility
By: Regent_Markets
Last week world stock markets made a decent stab at recovering from the previous week's rout. The strongest market was again the Nasdaq, with the new economy shrugging off the previous Friday's wobble to finish near its highs. Interest rate rumours thrust the market higher, as whispers of another 50 base point cut did the rounds. Few people wanted to be short going into what is expected to be another obliging FOMC meeting on Wednesday.Read full article... Read full article...

By: Roger_Conrad
As a Canadian, I would first like to voice my disgust with actions taken by my fellow countrymen [Alberta's Provincial Government] on Thursday – who saw fit to ‘rewrite' royalty agreements they had entered into with the oil industry.Read full article... Read full article...

Subprime Credit Crunch - The Market for New Homes is Dead / Stock-Markets / US Housing
By: John_Mauldin
In this Issue: As the Subprime Turns
"The Market for New Homes is Dead"
Mortgage Pig of the Year
When the Going Get Rough, Simply Borrow More
$100 Oil and $1,000 Gold
More Birthdays, Home Again and Deadlines
As the World Turns is a popular soap opera playing on American TV. It focuses, as do most soaps, on the lives and foibles of its characters, with plenty of dramatic flair. We are watching a different type of soap opera today which we could call "As the Subprime Turns. And the world is watching. It has plenty of drama, lots of flawed characters, a plot that is hard to understand, everyone saying it was the other guys fault and the world (literally) paying for the sins of exuberance in the US.

Stock Market Weekly Update: Rumor Has It / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Dominick
Don't get the idea from reading this update that performing real time Elliott wave analysis is easy, or that consistently selling tops and buying bottoms is something you can learn how to do overnight. It's not, and if that's the rumor you've been hearing, it's as wrong as this week's emergency Fed meeting. But do understand that making money by finding favorable risk/reward entries and exits is exactly what we do at TTC, week in and week out, through our rigor and vigilance and determination. And, what's more, if you're willing to be patient and pay attention, we can teach you to do the same!Read full article... Read full article...

By: Mike_Paulenoff
Thinking outloud: Frankly, a sharply falling dollar coupled with sharply rising (historic) oil prices amidst credit and housing crises would not be considered my ideal background for a roaring bull market in equities.Read full article... Read full article...

Sub-Prime Mortgage Collapse Crisis Over? - Part 1 / Stock-Markets / Credit Crunch
By: Adrian_Ash
"...If you can't spot the patsy then it might just be you - or your retirement-fund manager, money-market fund, local government trustees or mutual fund..."
ON AUGUST 8th THIS YEAR , just one day before the sudden and savage "credit crunch" that Alan Greenspan - former head of the US Federal Reserve - now says was "an accident waiting to happen", the Investment Council of Oregon State voted to change the way it invests public retirement funds.

New Upleg for the Ultrashort S&P / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Mike_Paulenoff
My sense in this crazy volatile market is that the ProShares UltraShort S&P ETF (AMEX: SDS) correction from Monday's high at 53.60 likely ended earlier today at 51.07, which happens also to coincide with a "healthy" pullback of about 40% of the entire advance from the 10/11 low at 47.50 to the 10/22 high at 53.60. The structure of the correction, its magnitude, and the upside pivot from 51.07 to 52.00 argue strongly that the SDS has started a new upleg that should climb above 53.60 on the way to 54.75-55.25 next.Read full article...

Labor Department Institutionalizes Speculation / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Tim_Iacono
One day, the "asset prices must always be pushed higher" approach toward preventing the U.S. economy from succumbing to the gravitational pull of deflation will run its course and the " rentier culture " will beat a hasty retreat back to wherever it is they came, but after the decision the other day by the Labor Department to require new employees to invest in stocks if they make no other choice during what is normally a very confusing first day at their new job, well, the hasty retreat has been pushed back a little bit.Read full article...

Major Turning Point Occurring Now! / Stock-Markets / Inflation
By: Money_and_Markets
Larry Edelson writes: Years from now, we'll look back at this current period in time as a major turning point … when the fires of global inflation were ignited anew … when the world began to realize the dollar was worth no more than the paper it was printed on … and when central bankers became truly known as emperors with no clothes.
You're already seeing it begin, with the U.S. dollar plunging to all-time record lows against nearly all the world's major currencies, and even against dozens of third-world currencies.

Housing Market Meltdown and the Structured Investment Vehicles Frothy Rescue Plan / Stock-Markets / Credit Crunch
By: Paul_Petillo
Who can pretend to know everything about the housing meltdown? The complicated intricacies of this backroom dealing seem to unfold everyday, baffling even the savviest of market watchers. Perhaps, as the financial titans look for ways of covering their tracks, hiding their losses and hoping that, by the time this incident completely reveals just how badly these investors/lenders/borrowers acted, we will have been too confused to point fingers at any one person.

Paulson's $100 billion “Bankers Bankruptcy Fund” and the G-7 Subprime Fiasco / Stock-Markets / Credit Crunch
By: Mike_Whitney
Friday's bloodbath on Wall Street proved that the troubles in the credit markets have not been relieved by the Fed's rate cuts. The Dow Jones slipped 367 points on the 20th anniversary of Black Monday, the stock market's biggest one-day loss in history. Since Friday, Asian markets have plunged; stocks are down sharply in Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan and South Korea. The global sell-off is a reaction to ongoing problems in the subprime market and deeper-rooted systemic issues related to the US's structured-debt model. Read full article... Read full article...
