Inevitable Global Ruin: Top Hedge Fund Managers Sound the Alarm / Stock-Markets / Financial Crisis 2016
By: Jeff_Berwick
When monetary control is centralized, as it is today, prosperity withers. The Wall Street Journal just surveyed top hedge fund managers and found a significant belief that full-fledged, global ruin is on its way. Tamper with freedom, monetarily or otherwise, and you end up facing catastrophe.
That’s just where we are today.
The managers pointed directly at the purposeful monetary mismanagement of central banks around the world. These central banks large and small are pumping oceans of money into financial markets as well as lowering rates until they are actually negative, which has never happened before in recorded history.

Stock Market What Can we Expect in December? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX has closed above its daily Cycle Top at 2232.21 and met at least two Fibonacci targets at 2250.00 and 2255.00. It must close back beneath its Cycle Top to get a possible daily sell signal. Preferably Wave 1 should decline to or beneath last Friday’s low at 2187.44 before retesting the Cycle Top. The final challenge of the Cycle Top is the ideal short entry in this scenario.

Will Trump Cause Geopolitical Chaos? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
Before the U.S. presidential election analysts pointed out that Trump's administration would be positive for the yellow metal, because of the elevated general uncertainty, possible geopolitical turmoil (due to trade wars or recalibration of foreign policy), slower economic growth (due to protectionism), as well as widened fiscal deficits and higher inflation (due to tax cuts and higher government spending).

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

The second is that Wave [v] is 2.38 times [i] at 2251.91.

By: Christopher_Quigley
Irexit: Ireland may have to consider leaving the EU.
Since the Brexit vote this summer most national and international media outlets were focused on the American presidential election. However, one story that got lost in the Trump firestorm was the fact that it increasing looks like the Irish government will have to seriously contemplate leaving the EU should the terms of the British Brexit “divorce” be hard rather than soft.

Stock Market and the Great Middle Class Revolt Gets Bigger / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Clif_Droke
With the U.S. presidential election now behind us, many investors feel they can finally breathe easy again after a nail-biting period of uncertainty since last year. The rally in the major equity market indices since Nov. 9 has been in large part a relief rally of sorts and has been broad-based. The sell-off in bonds has also been an indication of this collective relief.

Protectionist Trump Policies To Crash Dollar, Gold and Bitcoin to Soar / Stock-Markets / Protectionism
By: Jeff_Berwick
Many people seem to think Trump is going to “fix” the US by invoking the isolationist, nationalist, and oft failed economic policy of protectionism. But, as Ludwig von Mises put it in Nation, State and Economy, “From the purely economic point of view nothing speaks against free trade and everything against protectionism.” In other words, there is no economic argument in favor of protectionism. It is not a viable economic policy.

The Jaws of Life : The Most Hated Stocks Bull Market in History! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Rambus_Chartology
Tonight I would like to update the INDU we’ve been following which continues the upside move since the night of the US elections. Keep in mind some of these consolidation patterns began to form back in 2015 which had nothing to do with the US elections. It’s the billions upon billions of shares that were traded which produced this breakout move that is now being recognized for what it is. Even at this stage of the breakout move, there will be many doubters who will never recognize what is actually taking place. It can be very difficult to think outside of the box when we are bombarded everyday on how bad things are and how bad things are going to get. There has to be the proverbial wall of worry in order to have a bull market. Once the bull market becomes mature then the wall of worry comes down, and everyone is invited to invest in the markets, which will be at the blow off phase like in 2000.

Stock Market Top Close, 2017 Projection / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Today’s rally (yesterday we called for new highs shortly) has put the S&P 500 right up against a rising tops line. We are also in the area of the 17 week cycle top. A 14%+ drop looks likely into February/March. A strong 19%+ rally into late July and then a huge drop into the fall (-31%+), projects a down, up, down market for the year finishing Primary Wave 4.

Stock Market Short-Term TOP & POP! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Currently, it is still very early days and the dust has not yet settled, however, I will make a bold forecast that the SPX is still in a BULL UPTREND from 2009.
There has been a paradigm shift in the U.S. after Trump’s election. The expected fiscal stimulus and increased government spending have ‘buoyed’ financial markets. The closed at 2213, for the first time in history on November 25th, 2016. The shift in market sentiment has sent 10-year treasury yield topping at 2.3%, for the first time this year, as markets anticipate higher inflation.

Stock Market Topping, Gold Looks Lower / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Brad_Gudgeon
The stock market looks like it is making a distribution top into the FED meeting. We may see a small pull back into late week and then higher prices into the 14th. We could see a sharp drop into the 5 week cycle low due around the 19th of December. Overall, the market should be lower into March/April 2017 (Minor Wave Wave X of Intermediate Wave Z of Primary Wave 4) next year due to a FED rate hike.
