US Regulators Mandate Next Stage Of Textbook Financial Repression / Stock-Markets / Government Intervention
By: Dan_Amerman
With comparatively little fanfare, Fidelity Investments has announced that 100% of their $115 billion Cash Reserves fund, the world's largest money fund, will be invested in US government debt by December 1st of 2015. It is expected that many other money fund companies will also change their policies and invest only in US government and agency securities, because of a change in regulations that will occur in 2016.
Since 2010 the US government has been implementing a textbook example of Financial Repression, when it comes to using private savings to control and even effectively pay down the size of the national debt. Far from slowing down or ending this process, these new policies will expand by many millions the number of people who will effectively be forced to fund the purchase of government debt at artificially low interest rates.

“Ignore The Noise” & Focus On The Fact That Central Banks “Remain Extremely Accommodative / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2015
By: GoldCore
The primary focus this week is again on the “all powerful” Fed. If the Fed leans toward a rate hike in December, gold could come under pressure again in the short term. However, if it leans toward raising rates next year, then gold would be expected to eke out further gains.

Stocks Inflation Bull Run / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Ed_Carlson
Equity markets continue to defy our call for no end-of-year rally as equity investors rush to invest idle cash and not miss out on the positive feedback loop of higher prices. SPX has broken the mid-Sept high at 2,020 leaving behind a series of higher highs and higher lows; the definition of an uptrend. Price is the ultimate arbiter but we cannot ignore other signals if we want to be successful in forecasting price.

Stocks and Bonds Will Not Crash Soon / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2015
By: Sol_Palha
Always do what you are afraid to do. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are listing excerpts from past market updates to illustrate how the mass mindset is always wrong. Even big shots like Bill Gross are not exempt from being sucked into this black hole, otherwise known as the mass mindset. Herd psychology clearly indicates that the only time a market is going to crash is when emotions have hit a boiling point. In other words, the crowd is foaming with joy. However, regarding bonds, there is one more factor that needs to be considered. The element of control and that element has a name; it is called the Fed.

Stock Market Consolidation....S&P 500 2079 Gap Next Up....Then 2134.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
If ever there was a time for a brief newsletter, today is that day. There is literally nothing to add from Friday's report. Every market pauses from time to time no matter what direction it's moving in directionally. A pause to refresh. That's exactly what we saw today. The market made a strong move, and, thus, got overbought not only on the short-term charts, but on the daily charts as well. Daily charts hang in better at overbought, but those short-term charts do need occasional unwinding. We got a bit of that today, although nothing special as those ravenous-retail bulls are looking to buy all dips for the moment.

Stock Market’s Technical Strength Grows / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015

The Continued Hollowing Out Of European Industry.
“The power of producing wealth is infinitely more important than wealth itself; it insures not only the possession and the increase of what has been gained, but also the replacement of what has been lost.” Freidrich List "The National System of Political Economy"
I always believed the above quote by Freidrich List and I could never understand the modern politician’s obsession with “free trade”.

Fed Set to Spook the Markets Once Again! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Brad_Gudgeon
The charts below show that the recent rally is just fodder for the beast. Prior to the last FED meeting on September 17, I warned of an impending sell-off due to the FED's statements. The S&P 500 fell from a high of 2020 to a low of 1871 in 8 trading days or about 7.3%! The BIG question this time is "how low?" not IF.
I have two downside targets: SPX 1913/15 and SPX 1828/30. Astro-wise, early this week, we have the "George Bayer Rule" of Mercury crossing the same path the sun did during a prior eclipse. The last time we saw this, the SPX fell 236 point in 4 trading days (late August 2015). We also have Mars joining in this time with Mercury.

Stock Market Big Follow Through day.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
The market had a big follow-through day today after yesterday's nice up-day. There are two factors that made this happen. First of all, we had great earnings after hours yesterday from Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), AT&T, Inc. (T), Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) and Google Inc. (GOOG). The futures exploded on those reports. Then last night we had the Euro-Zone money-man, Mr. Draghi, promise more easy money or another round of QE for everyone. The party hats were taken out.

Stock Market SPX Double Top / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX made a higher high at 2:50 pm at 2079.74,, just two points higher than this morning’s high. The only discernible entry (aggressive) likely today would be a cross of the Cycle Top at 2068.92.
Unfortunately, this means that a very fast and severe decline may be likely once SPX crosses 2040.00, triggering its Orthodox Broadening Top for a potential target near 1600.00. Today appears to be point 7 in the formation and point 8 is the crash low. Should you chance it today or not, is up to you.

Stock Market SPX 78.6% Retracement / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX appears to have made a 78.6% retracement of its decline from May 20 to August 24. Here are some points of interest. It will have re-entered its trading band at 2063.98 and closed this morning’s gap up beneath 2050.00. These would be considered aggressive short entries. The lower trendline of the small Diagonal formation is at 2030.00 at present.

Why Stocks are About to Get DEMOLISHED / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: EWI
Dear Investor,
You hear the abstract terms floating around the financial media -- devaluation, disinflation, low inflation, even negative inflation (whatever the heck that is!). Make no mistake about it; these terms refer to but one monetary force: deflation.

By: Investment_U
Sean Brodrick writes: America is on a collision course with a crippling crisis. One that could start as early as November 3 - just 11 days from now.
Importantly, the last time this happened, the market started selling off hard eight days before the actual crisis. So I want to make you aware of both the looming risks... and the potential profit opportunities.

It’s Not Time to Sell the German DAX / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Sol_Palha
He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away. -
Raymond HullAgain, the talking heads are claiming that there is a pattern that overtly implies that the Dow tends to follow the DAX. When the markets were free or had some elements of freedom in them, one could give some credence to these patterns, but today where fraud and manipulation are the order of the day....... Such patterns have to be taken with a jar of salt. By maintaining an ultra-low interest environment for an unusually lengthy period of time, the Fed has fostered an environment that rewards speculators and destroys savers. Nothing could be more insane, but this is the predicament most people find themselves facing today.
