Stock Market Flushing Lower... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
The market futures were down early in the evening on Sunday, only to recover nicely by the morning. It seemed as though the market was about to dodge another nasty move lower, but that wasn't the case at all as the futures dove, once again, before the market opened, cresting a decent gap lower by a little over a ten handle on the S&P 500. That was the good news for the bulls. The market slowly, but very gradually, began to weaken after the usual few attempts higher by the retail bulls.

SPX Triggers a Amall Head & Shoulders Formation / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX has crossed the neckline of a Head & Shoulders formation and crossed beneath the September 1 low at 1903.07. This move greatly reduces the probability of a sideways or higher consolidation through the end of the month. Lower quarterly statements also imply further selling into the month of October, as investors receive their statements and pull the trigger.
Although the very early part of the window for a potential Master Cycle low begins October 1, day 258 arrives on October 19.

Stock Market Week Begins On A Scary Note / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: John_Rubino
The US markets awoke to news of several big, disturbing overseas events:
Glencore implodes. Think of Swiss commodities giant Glencore as a modern version of Enron, in the sense that it owns physical assets like mines and oil wells around the world and runs perhaps the biggest commodities derivatives trading desk. And — also like Enron — it’s apparently unprepared for extreme commodity price volatility. This morning its stock price plunged even further and its credit default swaps — the cost of insuring payment on its its bonds — blew out to record levels.

Stock Market Bubble Balloons in Search of Needles / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: John_Mauldin
I love waterfalls. I’ve seen some of the world’s best, and they always have an impact. The big ones leave me awestruck at nature’s power. It was about 20 years ago that I did a boat trip on the upper Zambezi, ending at Victoria Falls. Such a placid river, full of game and hippopotamuses (and the occasional croc); and then you begin to hear the roar of the falls from miles away. Unbelievably majestic. From there the Zambezi River turns into a whitewater rafting dream, offering numerous class 5 thrills. Of course, you wouldn’t want to run them without a serious professional at the helm. When you’re looking at an 8-foot-high wall of water in front of you that you are going to have to go up (because it’s in the way); well, let’s just say it’s a rush.

Whole Lotta Stocks Bear Markets Goin' On / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: John_Rubino
The Dow and S&P 500 have fallen by around 10% since August, which in normal times would be hardly worth mentioning. But below the surface, in what used to be the market's hottest sectors, much more serious damage is taking place.
Biotech, which had an epic bull market during the era of QE and the Affordable Care Act, had begun to crater even before Hillary Clinton proposed price controls for pharmaceuticals. Last week it went straight down.

Markets Gone Mad / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Mike_Whitney
Imagine your doctor put you on a daily dose of oxycontin, phenobarbital and Quaaludes for six years straight. Then he suddenly cancelled your prescription.
Do you think your behavior might become a bit erratic?
This is what’s going on with the stock market. It’s trying to shake off six years of overmedication brought on by the Fed’s zero rates and liquidity injections.

Why Stock Investors Should Be Praying for a Interest Rate Hike / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Investment_U
Bob Creed writes: A little over a week ago, the Fed announced it wasn’t raising rates. Our next chance of a hike is October... more likely, December.
Perhaps you breathed a sigh of relief when you heard the news. But we ask... Would an increase be so awful?

Stock Market Going Down, Gold Chop Continues / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Two weeks ago, I warned that September 17th would be a critical date: the perfect storm coming together with Mercury going retrograde and Jupiter opposing Neptune on the date that the FED announces its intents regarding interest rates. I also warned that gold stocks would take a dip into September 22/23.The stock market as measured by the S&P 500 made its low on Sept 24 falling over 111 points in one week (down over 5%) and gold stocks made their low on September 23 (down over 10%). Now we have Pluto going direct while the super moon eclipses on September 27. The set up is there for a huge rally in stocks on September 28 (to knock out the shorts) followed by a sharp drop into October 5th (especially after September 29/30). Gold stocks should rally into September 30 and then fall hard to new lows into October 5/6.

A Look At The Dow Jones Industrial Average - Hauntingly Familiar / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Joseph_Russo
Just as it did exactly 4-months following its print high in October of 2007, the Dow (within the few trading days remaining in September) is once again on path to breach its cyclical uptrend from a previous bear market low. Although the outcome may be better or worse this time around, the pattern unfolding is nonetheless hauntingly familiar.

Stock Market Primary Wave IV Inflection Point / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Tony_Caldaro
The market started the week at SPX 1958. After a short-lived gap up opening on Monday to SPX 1980 the market headed lower into Thursday when hitting SPX 1909. Then after a morning low the market rallied into Thursday’s close and gapped up on Friday to hit SPX 1953. If that wasn’t enough, the market then dropped to SPX 1922 before rallying to close the week at 1932. For the week the SPX/DOW were -0.9%, the NDX/NAZ were -2.6%, and the DJ World index was -2.3%. On the economic front, reports for the week were mixed. On the uptick: Q2 GDP, consumer sentiment, the WLEI, new home sales and the FHFA. On the downtick: GDPN, durable goods, existing home sales and weekly jobless claims were higher. Next week, a busy schedule, will be highlighted by monthly Payrolls, the PCE and the Chicago PMI.

Violent Stock Market....Fed Tries To Protect Those 401K's... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
Ms. Yellen knew she made a terrible mistake last week by not raising rates. She made a speech to the world last night and did her best to correct that error in judgment. She said she would be raising rates this year. The banks would be the biggest beneficiary in that scenario, and it was a way to bring the averages up. It worked early on today as those futures exploded higher and held for the most part allowing a large gap up that started to run. And then it stopped running and went into reverse. A massive quick move down had the Nasdaq down over 100 points from its intraday high at one point before bouncing some. It was very ugly for the market overall. The market is unable to find leadership in enough areas to hold things up. Biotech stocks are in a strong bear market, with one after another falling hard day after day.

SPX is Abount to Begin its Strongest Decline Yet / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
A visit to the cardiologist resulted in an overnight stay at the hospital. I was experiencing vertigo and the doctors have been trying to pinpoint the source. I may be in for another night, so my email will be brief.
The plunge hasbegun and there is now enough information to identify the pattern. This may be safely called an Intermediate degree Wave (C) of a Primary ‘degree Leading Diagonal Wave [1].

Stock Market Sentiment Plunges Further Still.....Price Action Weak.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
It's really amazing how fear ramps so much faster than froth ever could. Put a good scare into folks and they run for the hills faster than you can blink your eyes, or, for that matter, hit the sell button. Trust won't ever come back the way it had before either. It's been too long with the market going nowhere to down. Very few, if any, strong, sustained rallies, and after a while it becomes a belief that they'll never come any more, thus, of course, they will, but it won't be easy to turn people bullish any longer. They're scared to take any real chances, since they've been burned repeatedly over the past many, many months. So naturally fear took a turn down further after the rough action from last week. Two weeks back we were at minus 2.2%. Last week it went flat at 0%, but now we're back down, and this time it's minus 4.2%. The lowest reading in quite a long time, and the third week at, or below, zero.
