Stock Market, Precious Metals: the Month Ahead / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Brad_Gudgeon
The astrological themes going forward surround around Neptune which rules lies, deceit, secrets, radicalism, illegal activities and fraud. Mars (war tensions: think Russian naval movements into the Mediterranean) is also implicated, especially early in the month of November surrounding the dates of November 1-4. Gold could see a big move up around Nov 3-4. GDX could rally to around 26.00.Read full article... Read full article...

By: Tony_Caldaro
The market started the week at SPX 2141. After a gap up opening on Monday, and a SPX 2155 high, the market pulled back into Wednesday hitting 2132. Another gap up opening on Thursday took the market to SPX 2147. But another pullback dropped to the SPX to 2119 on Friday. For the week the SPX/DOW mixed, and the NDX/NAZ lost 0.95%. Economic reports for the week were again mixed. On the downtick: consumer confidence/sentiment, new home sales, durable goods, and the WLEI declined. On the uptick: Case-Shiller, FHFA housing, pending home sales, Q3 GDP, plus weekly jobless claims declined. Next week will be highlighted by the FOMC meeting, the ISMs and monthly Payrolls. Best to your week!

$50 Trillion in Cash Is Sitting on the Sidelines Today / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: David_Galland
Dear Parader,
I have just come off what can only be described as “Hell Week” in opening Bad Brothers Wine Experience.
To give you a sense of the enterprise, below are photos of Bad Brothers four days before we opened, and a photo on opening day.
The dramatic difference between before and after is attributable to the way many Argentines approach a job. Weeks, or even months, can go by with modest progress, but when the deadline is staring them in the face like the proverbial onrushing train in the tunnel, 30 or 40 people show up at the door like the company of dwarves in The Hobbit.

Nasdaq 100 Takes Out Support, S&P 500 Hangs on by a Thread / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a very strong gap up at the opening today, they reached resistance, and then they came down pretty hard the rest of the session to finish negative on the day and near the session lows going away.
Net on the day, the Dow was down 29.65 at 18,169.68, but was 85 points higher at one point in the day. The S&P 500 was down 6.39 at 2133.04, 14 points off the high. The Nasdaq 100 was down 24.15 at 4836.45, nearly 50 points off the high. So you can see how that nasty reversal affected the market.

By: John_Mauldin
BY MAULDIN ECONOMICS : Take profits and batten down the hatches. That’s the advice of former head of ETF trading Jared Dillian. He believes equity markets are likely to see a rough ride in the next few months.

The Aging of the Microchip Industry Is the Reason Behind This Economic Malaise / Stock-Markets / Technology
By: John_Mauldin
BY GEORGE FRIEDMAN : Classical economics argues that as capitalism matures, competition causes both wages and profits to decline. Wages go down because the early successes of capitalism cause more workers to compete for jobs. Profits decline because more businesses enter markets, causing business failure.

The Next big Catalyst for Stocks and Commodities / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Clif_Droke
We’re about to enter that time when financial commentators offer up their best guesses as to what investors can expect in the Near Year. It always makes for fun reading, but it also never fails to disappoint. Instead of engaging in that tired exercise in futility, investors would do better to focus on something more productive. And that would be next year’s most likely catalyst for stock and commodity prices.

Stock Market Cycle Shift / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Ed_Carlson
Last week’s commentary stated that we expected to see a high in the Dow no later than Wednesday. That high didn’t come a day too soon as the index topped on Wednesday at 18,252 and fell to an intra-day low on Friday at 18,050.The Hybrid Lindsay model points to a low this week and it looks increasingly as if the low will come late as short-term cycles have shifted to be more in line with the Lindsay intervals pointing to a low this Friday.

Today is a Stock Market Daily Turn Date / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
While SPX hasn’t broken out above 2154.79 in the Premarket, there is a threat of a final probe to the 50-day Moving Average at 2161.11 that may turn the double zigzag (w-x-y) into an a-b-c formation, which is more appropriate for a Wave 2. That appears to be the pattern in the futures, although the futures and cash markets don’t necessarily have to agree in pattern.

Another Stock Market Gap Goes Nowhere....Huge Earnings Week... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
Let's start with the world of earnings. There have been so many pre-warnings, meaning warnings that were announced before the actual earnings date, that we know the season got off to a bad start. Some giants warned ahead of time, but now we'll focus on those who are waiting for their actual day to announce. This morning we got Kimberly-Clark Corporation (KMB), an economically-sensitive stock, to report, and it wasn't pretty. It was down huge for the day. What's so amazing to me so far this particular-earnings season is how low the bar has been set for just about everyone, since we are dealing with eight straight quarters of lowered earnings expectations. It would be easy, one would think, for most to beat with no problem. The actual numbers may be weak, but they are better than expected. Right!? Not happening so far overall. Always good beats, but the number of bad reports is adding up, once again, more than anyone would like.

Why are Americans Avoiding the Stock Markets; Fear or Lack of Money? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Sol_Palha
The financial crisis of 2008 scarred many individuals and scared away even more; add in the Great Recession, and one can see that the average can come up with many reasons to avoid the stock market. To make matters worse, the unemployment rate remains stubbornly high, and wages in most instances are dropping instead of rising which means that many Americans have little to no disposable income left after expenses. Don't for one second believe the twisted statistics issued by the BLS (Bureau of labour department); those statistics are on par with toilet paper.

SPX may be completing a double zigzag pattern / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The SPX Premarket appears to be challenging the Triangle formation and the two-hour mid-cycle resistance at 2146.56 in a double zigzag pattern. This may explain the overlapping, corrective structure of the retracement of the decline between October 10 – 13.

Large Sell-off in Stock Market Looming / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Brad_Gudgeon
About every 20 weeks or so there is usually a noticeable sell-off in the stock market. We had the October 15, 2014 low followed 20 weeks later, in mid March, 2015 by a low, which was followed in late August (the 24th) by that low. Then roughly 5 months later on January 20, 2016 by a low, then June 27th and now November 2016. The March 2015 low was a shallow, skipping low as was June 27, 2016 (the Brexit low).
November 2016 also represents the 8-year cycle low due from November 21, 2008. Wednesday next week is exactly 40 weeks from the January 2016 low, so it is due. The 20 week lows are subdivided by 5 and 10 week lows last seen 8/2/16(five), 9/12/16(ten) and 10/13/16(five). The ideal 10/20/40 week low is due Nov 21, 2016 one week.

Stock Market Boredom Before The Storm / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: John_Rubino
With all the surprising and/or disturbing things going on – Brexit, China’s soaring debt, US/Russia/China saber rattling, the, um, unique US presidential race, the cyber attack that shut down big parts of the US Internet – you’d think that an unsettled world would be reflected in skittish financial markets.
