China Stocks Bear Market Crash, Are We Near the Bottom Yet? / Stock-Markets / Chinese Stock Market
By: Nadeem_Walayat
China's stock market meltdown that began Mid June from a SSEC trading high of 5,200 had paused under the weight of heavy the Chinese government interventions that in total amount to over $400 billion thrown at the stock market in an attempt to bring the selling to a halt. However, all of that literally went up in smoke along with one of China's largest ports which literally exploded revealing behind the truth of what the Chinese economy is, a mere mirage of the picture of strength and stability that communist party propaganda has been successfully propagating.

Stock Market Crash Black Wednesday Rally Crushes the Bears / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The mainstream financial press and blogosfear has been full of relentless stories all week painting a picture of doom and gloom. Even the usually buoyant CNBC air heads that usually sit smack middle on the fence, today had turned bearish with expectations at mid US trading today for the days stocks rally to soon run out of steam and reverse to a down close much as the Dow did yesterday. Instead what did the stock market do? It did CRASH, but it was to the UPSIDE! For if falls of 3.5% have been reported on in the press as a CRASH with headlines of Black Monday, then an greater upwards daily move of 619 points, 3.95% should surely be reported upon as a stock market crash to the upside!

VIX Shorts Being Squeezed While SPX Prepares for Another Decline / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Today’s SPX managed to stay in the black, but it’s a Pivot day. This bounce is not a good omen for the market for that reason and the fact that it remains under the hourly Cycle Bottom resistance at 1923.36.
It gives us confirmation of the Wave structure illustrated on the chart. A Wave [iii] would continue to stay under Cycle Bottom resistance, while Wave [iv] may venture inside and Wave [v] ride above the Cycle Bottom until completion.

China Stock Market Shanghai Composite Index Update... / Stock-Markets / Chinese Stock Market
By: Clive_Maund
The Chinese market is of interest to us not because we necessarily want to trade it, but because of its effect on other world markets. Its heavy drop on Monday morning contributed to the rout on Wall St later in the day. The Chinese economy is a massive Ponzi scheme that is threatening to implode, with grave implications for the world economy.

How to Make a Quick 20% When the Stock Market Crashes / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Investment_U
Marc Lichtenfeld writes: Have you ever gotten into an argument or fight with someone who goes from calm and rational to nuclear in an instant? It’s scary.
In my life, the few scraps I’ve gotten into took the typical course. A heated debate leads to name-calling and threats. Finally, one guy pushes the other and it’s on.

Why We Can’t Handle A Stocks Bear Market - State Budgets Will Implode / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: John_Rubino
Back when society’s balance sheet was reasonably solid, the occasional bear market was no big deal. A 20% drop in the average S&P 500 stock would scare investors and lead to slight declines in consumer spending and government capital gains tax revenue, but the overall economy would barely notice such a minor speed bump.
But that was then. Like a person with an impaired immune system, today’s developed world is so highly leveraged that a shock of any kind risks catastrophic complications. Which is why governments and central banks now meet every incipient crisis with quick infusions of newly-created cash and lower interest rates. We can’t risk letting markets be markets any more.

Stocks Bear Market, Is This 1929 All Over Again? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Austin_Galt
The Dow has been smashed over the last week which has brought out the usual doom and gloomer’s predicting Armageddon once again. There are several so called experts now predicting a 1929 style bear market.
Admittedly, it is hard not to get caught up in the emotion of days where the market sees a 1000 point intraday drop. So, is this really 1929 all over again? Well, for those that can’t be bothered to read the analysis, the short answer is no. Not as far as I’m concerned anyway.

Start of Stock Market Third Wave / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX nearly took out SPX’s Monday morning lows by mere ticks. This doesn’t bode well for the overnight session. It appears that wave [iii] of 3 or C has begun.
Potentially bad news out of China may set the stage for a much larger sell-off both in China and in the US.

Stock Market Tanks In Last 15 Minutes; Correction Not Done? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: John_Rubino
That was sudden. After soaring at the open and holding big gains all day, US equities fell off the table in the last 15 minutes of trading, ending over 500 DOW points below the day’s high. Guess the, um, uncertainty isn’t over.

Stock Market Hybrid Lindsay Forecast for a Low / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Ed_Carlson
My July 28 commentary was the last time I gave an update on my Hybrid Lindsay model (a hybrid approach to the work of the late technician, George Lindsay). In that commentary I mentioned my forecast for a low in the period July 24-31 and that I felt the expected low was "very close and may have already been seen last Friday". As it turned out, the low was that Monday, July 27.

CNBC Bimbos Stock Market Rebound Ecstasy / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: James_Quinn
The CNBC bubble headed bimbos and brainless stock touting twits will be in ecstasy today as the ever predictable rebound is under way. The market will soar by over 500 points at the opening as the excuse of the day is China’s desperate interest rate cut to try and stem their downward spiraling economy and markets. The Wall Street captured boob tube brigade will tell their almost non-existent viewership that all is well. The terrifying plunge is in the past. The economy is great. Housing is strong. Stocks are now a bargain. It’s the best time to buy.

The Stock Market Crash Season is Here… / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Harry_Dent
It’s finally happening. The crash season is upon us.We’ve seen the early signs this week with leading stocks getting the carpet swept out right from underneath them.
China’s stocks are right where they were when its bubble burst 35% into July. UK stocks are in a correction. The DAX is in a correction. And the S&P 500 hasn’t busted quite as much – yet – but it’s dipped below that important level of 2,000 at the bottom of the S&P 500 Channel going back to late 2011.

The Stock Market Is Crashing…There’s No Escape / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Rodney_Johnson
My phone’s ringing off the hook. My inbox is flooded. Some people want to know if this market rout is the big one. Others want to cheer us on for sticking to our guns for so long. But everyone has a question: How long will this selloff last?The answer depends on why equities dropped in the first place. The problem is, there’s no single reason.

The Stock Markets Are Extraordinarily Volatile, Here's What to Do / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: ...
MoneyMorning.com Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: The Dow swung more than 1,000 points in each direction over the course of trading yesterday. The market chaos started in Asia and spread to the United States as the day went on.
That the markets plunged that far in the first place is a sure sign that panic is definitely setting in. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel the angst just like you do. You're not alone.

Stock Market Sound the Alarm / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Bob_Loukas
We saw an amazing capitulation event in equities these past three sessions. It’s clear that market internals were weak, but no one could have foreseen the degree and rapidity of the selloff. The major US indices have already entered into official corrections (-10%), while many world markets are approaching bear market (-20%) territory. And it’s unlikely the declines are over. Friday’s drop was a massive distribution day, with 93% of volume trading lower. With a 1,433 point decline, that was the largest three day DOW decline on record.
The VIX spiked sharply, showing the sort of extreme panic/fear in the market that is typically reserved for the end of Investor and Yearly Cycle declines. If we use the the four-year rally in equities as our guide, this type of sell-off corresponds with markets completing a Cycle Low, after which they should turn higher and rally for 10-20 weeks in a new Cycle.

Stock Markets Crashing, Gold Rising / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: MoneyMetals
Clint Siegner: U.S. Investors are on edge following last week’s and today’s sell-off in stocks around the globe. The carnage impacted equity markets in Asia, Europe, and the U.S.
Interestingly, the U.S. dollar also weakened. And bonds and gold are getting most of the safe-haven buying.
