SPX is Weaker, But No Signal / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX futures are down, but not enough to give a signal, yet. The SPX may go either way, so be warned of some chaotic moments today.
ZeroHedge reports, “Asian stocks rose lifted by commodity names; European equities trade mostly lower but with little in the way of conviction or firm direction while the Italian banking index is at the highest level in a year following domestic earnings; S&P index futures are modestly in the red after the cash market closed at a record high Wednesday and investors prepared for earnings from retailers; we expect the now general vol selling program to promptly lift the S&P into new all time highs minutes after today's open.”

By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market had an interesting day today with the indices down in the morning, up midday, and rallying right to within an hour of the close, but could not get through the highs, and then a sharp sell-off ensured. They did hold secondary support, came back very sharply, and finished near the highs for the day.

SPX Showing Weakness, but No Breakdown, Yet / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The SPX futures have been testing yesterday’s low, but no breakdown, yet. I am still treating the peak at 2403.87 as wave [a] of 5. Since it is an (a)-(b)-(c) wave already, it may be complete, but we will not have confirmation until SPX declines beneath the Wave 4 low at 2379.75.
ZeroHedge reports, “Just as the reflation trade appeared to be finding its latest wind, after a modest rise in oil prices over the past 24 hours (now that Andurand has finished liquidating his book) and a halt to the commodity rout in China, Trump threw the markets for a loop again with his firing of James Comey, which has implications on everything from Trump's tax policy (most likely delayed due to more infighting between, and within, the two parties) to US geopolitics (will Trump launch another attack, this time against N. Korea to deflect from this scandal?)”

Nasdaq 100 Rockets to New All-Time Highs / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a very interesting session. The Nasdaq 100 had a big gap up, and a sharp run in the morning, taking it up to over 5690, and the S&P 500 popped to 2404, both reaching new all-time highs. In the afternoon, they had a slow, 5-wave constructive pullback, although news of North Korea doing additional missile test caused the market to take a big hit. In the last fifteen minutes, they snapped back just as sharply, and actually finished up on the day on the Nasdaq 100, while the Dow and S&P 500 finished slightly lower in the red.

Stock Market Option's Timing Indicator / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Marty_Chenard
The Option's Timing Indicator showed trend lines that were neutral while in positive territory after more convergence. The thick red line showed a down tick that was below the red trend line and below the blue trend line. [The thick red line above the red and blue trend lines usually means that a bottoming process is trying to start and below them has the potential of being serious trouble.]

Stock Market May 8-11… High or Low? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Ed_Carlson
In the 4/17/17 Market Update I wrote of a low-low-high interval pointing to a high on 5/11/17.
The lows of July 8, 1932 and December 9, 1974 were arguably the two most important lows of the 20th century. They lie 15,494 days apart. Adding an additional 15,494 days to the 1974 low points to a high on May 11, 2017.
In the 4/24/17 Market Update I wrote of a Hybrid Lindsay forecast pointing to a high in the period May 8-11.

Stock Market Volatile Consolidation Day / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a very topsy-turvy volatile session. The day started out with a hard gap down, they bounced hard, came down again with another bounce up, came down one more time around the noon hour even harder, and then rallied for the rest of the day. They consolidated late in the day and firmed up to close mixed on the day.

I took up surfing in my early 30s.It didn’t last long. But I learned a tremendous amount from the experience (least of which is that I suck at surfing).
Well, it’s time to think like a surfer.
Your sole focus is to catch the wave.

Gold, Stocks, Bonds, Currencies Best Investment Practices / Stock-Markets / Investing 2017
By: Axel_Merk
How does one construct a portfolio in an era of seemingly ever rising and highly correlated asset prices? Years of asset prices moving higher has changed both retail and institutional investors; it has changed the industry; and, in my humble opinion, those changes spell trouble. The prudent investor might want to take note to be prepared.

Stock Market Pull Back Shallow, More to Go / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Brad_Gudgeon
The market is gradually becoming oversold with much resistance. The cycles suggest a low no later than around Friday this week. May 17th is the next three week cycle top and is also a Saturn turn. Waves tend to equal each other in time and price, especially an "a-b-c" type advance. We are in wave 'b' of that advance. This would suggest a low late in the week probably somewhere near to SPX 2361/62 and a final top (wave 'c') on May 17th near to 2431 (see chart below).

By: Dimitri_Speck
Most people are probably aware of the saying "sell in May and go away". This popular seasonal Wall Street truism implies that the market's performance is far worse in the six summer months than in the six winter months.
Numerous studies have been undertaken particularly with respect to US stock markets, which confirm the relative weakness of the stock market in the summer.

Brace Yourself, This Ponzi Scheme Will Result in the Greatest Stock Market Crash in History / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Crash
By: Submissions
By Peter Ginelli : Every day the markets seem to be going up regardless of the news headlines about the current ominous state of world affairs or even poor economic data. Investors seem to be oblivious to the fundamentals that every market requires in order to find a direction.
We all remember the times when the markets would carefully consider the daily geopolitical risks, news headline and economic data before they would react to the upside or the downside. But nowadays, multiple terror attacks in Paris and other parts of the world, terrible economic data released prior to the market opening, or even ridiculous P/E ratios, does nothing in shaking confidence in the markets. It almost appears as if common sense is absent in investors' decision-making. The dangerous prevailing wisdom seems to be "buy, buy, buy”, no matter if the world is going to hell in a hand basket or the economy is getting flushed down the toilet.
