Stock Market Flag Lives On...Jobs Report Poor.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
The highly watched and anticipated Jobs Report came out this morning. Folks anxious to see if the economy is as strong as most hoped. The verdict was a poor one for the economy. The believers shot down. The job creation came in approximately 50,000 short. Not what Fed Yellen wanted to see, and not what the market really wanted to see, either. It appears to me that folks are more focused on a true economic recovery than worrying about one single rate hike from the Fed. With the economy struggling for growth it's clear to all that even if the Fed raised rates one time there's no way there would be a regular cycle of hikes for some time to come. At this point, the market may actually want this hike to come so it can get it out of the way.

Another Stock Market Roller Coaster Ride / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
SPX Premarket is down 30 points as I write. As you can see, the next support level is at or near 1900.00, if it holds.
The much-awaited payroll number is out. ZeroHedge writes, “The "most important and anticipated payrolls number ever", or at least since the last payroll number, is out and it is a doozy at only 173K, it is a huge miss to the 217K expected (and almost in line with LaVorgna's forecast). This was the worst monthly payrolls number since March, and the second lowest number in 19 months. However, the curious twist is that the July and June NFPs were both revised higher to 245K, making the net revision up 44K.”

The Stocks Bear Market Everyone Saw Coming / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Gary_Tanashian
The title lets you know where this article is going. For such a routine correction in the US stock market, the Psych/Sentiment backdrop has gotten way out of whack. Do some analysis on Rydex Bull/Bear fund allocations among investors and you will find a historic knee jerk reaction into bear funds over bull funds (by those who still use Rydex funds).

Stock Market Chokin’ on the Splinters / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: John_Mauldin
It’s been a tough couple of weeks.
I keep a mostly hedged book, long and short, so it’s rare that I get my head caved in on every position at the same time. But that’s pretty much what has happened. My shorts haven’t worked because they’re either rate-sensitive or Canadian banks. Meanwhile the longs, which include a lot of emerging markets—well, you know what has happened with those.

Stock Market Prepares for the Next Decline / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
After reviewing the charts, I have come to the conclusion that we may be seeing a Leading Diagonal Wave (1) in the SPX and other major indexes. Note that both Waves 1 and 3 fit the [a]-[b]-[c] pattern better than an impulse because of overlap in Wave 1 and the Triangle [b] in Wave 3. We have already seen Waves [a] and [b] in Wave 5 with a large Wave [c] decline to go.

The Next Financial Crisis May Already be Unfolding / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2015
By: MoneyMetals
Stefan Gleason writes: Is an epic financial meltdown about to commence? Predictions that a crash will occur in the fall of 2015 have been gaining traction. They are bolstered by some of the market events of this summer, which suggest that something big is indeed unfolding.
In August, the Chinese devalued the yuan, setting off volatility in currency, commodity, and equity markets worldwide. The U.S. stock market suffered its worst slide in four years, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling through major support levels. Crude oil prices careened below $40 per barrel.

Stock Market Return to Crisis: Things Keep Getting Worse / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Mike_Whitney
The virus that spread to stock markets around the world and nearly destroyed the global financial system in 2008 has reemerged with a vengeance sending global equities deep into the red and wiping out more than $5 trillion in market capitalization in less than two weeks. On Tuesday, before the opening bell, major market index futures in the US plunged more than 400 points signaling another violent day of selling ahead. Worries that a slowdown in China will impact global growth pushed Asian and European markets deep into negative territory while US futures indicate that the Dow Jones is headed for its ninth triple-digit day in ten sessions. The deluge of bad news has battered confidence in the Fed and “sent global equities to their worst monthly slump in more than three years”. Millions of Mom and Pop investors have sold out already and are headed for the exits. Here’s a recap from Bloomberg:

Stock Market Eleven Crazy Days — Many More Coming / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: John_Rubino
Twelve months ago the world was happily sailing along in the Great Moderation, with financial markets that moved gracefully higher most of the time but even in their rare negative moments didn’t cause too much angst. The eleven trading days leading up to September 3 saw not a single triple-digit move on the Dow, and only three down sessions.

The free enterprise system has vastly improved our quality of life and raised our standard of living.
Entrepreneurs and business owners have given us safer transportation, faster communications, miracle drugs and medical devices, more powerful computers, and millions of new products and services that are better, cheaper and longer lasting.

'Gravity' Is Returning to Stocks and Bond Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2015
By: DailyWealth
Porter Stansberry :
In today's essay... a discussion about gravity. Not the kind of gravity that causes objects to draw closer to each other. That gravity is a mystery that physics can't yet explain.
I'm talking about financial gravity. And the causes of financial gravity are well-known...
Financial gravity is the cost of capital. The cost of money drives the price of everything else in a free market because capital is the root of supply. Want more oil? Fine, invest heavily in new supplies.

The institutional investor(s) have had their say. The SPX bounced to the 38.2% retracement at 1938.37. There is no change in signal. Best to remain short. Margin calls may already be kicking in with a vengeance today.

The 1987 crash on Wall St. happened during Shemitah. The bond market was massacred in 1994. The 9/11 terror attacks happened in 2001 and the global economic crisis occurred in 2008.

The Beginning Of A New Financial / Stock Market Cycle / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Within the United States, the US Federal Government and The US Federal Reserve Bank interventions have failed. These manipulations, by the central bank, in order to maintain the current stock bubble, and the real estate bubble, are currently reflecting the acts of failed monetary and fiscal policies, as we are presently experiencing.
The reality is that the US economy has already been in contraction for many years now.
The government intervention is failing in Europe, Japan, and now apparently also in China. Government interventions globally are currently becoming more vulnerable The US, Europe, Japan, and China have all been experiencing failures. We are currently witnessing the results of total failures, right under our noses. I believe, we are closer to that point of the Global Financial Meltdown than anyone else may realize. This collapse in China is a major shock, which has triggered a major market sell off within the US markets.
