Stock Market Ready for a Bounce Within Intermediate Downtrend / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Andre_Gratian
Current Position of the Market
SPX: Very Long-term trend - The very-long-term cycles are down and, if they make their lows when expected (after this bull market is over) there will be another steep and prolonged decline into late 2014. It is probable, however, that the steep correction of 2007-2009 will have curtailed the full downward pressure potential of the 120-yr cycle.
SPX: Intermediate trend - SPX has made a triple top, which is a bearish pattern. It has now given a strong indication that an intermediate correction is underway.

The Best Stock Trade You Can Make in November / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Investment_U
Alexander Green writes: In December 1996, I sold some shares of Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) to offset gains elsewhere in my portfolio.
I still consider it the most boneheaded investment move I ever made. A year later, the stock was up more than five-fold. A few years further on, it was up more than 30-fold.

Stock Market Election Week Modest Gain / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: PhilStockWorld
Courtesy of Doug Short : After two days of harsh post-election selloff, the S&P 500 finished the day with a modest gain. For the first 30 minutes of trading, the index appeared directionless, but a strong consumer sentiment number put the index in rally mode, which lasted to the lunch-hour interim high, up 1.04%. The index then gave up most of the gains. A mid-afternoon rally had no staying power, and the index closed with a small but welcome gain of 0.17%. For election week, the index fell 2.43%. This was the worst weekly performance since the last week in May.

Stock Market Forecasts for Dow, Dax, FTSE, Kospi and ASX / Stock-Markets / Global Stock Markets
By: Manas_Banerji
After an election, we may expect one thing that there will not much window dressings but that is only an expectation, not guarantee. In this moment it will be hard job for US to balance between reduction in budgetary deficit and corresponding imminent recession which experts are talking about. Experts and media may talk about many things that is threatening global growth but I do feel that debt loads (especially for nations with big debt market) is one of the biggest matter that are hampering global growth, both directly and indirectly.

Stock Market Vision Cloudy...Continues Lower.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Jack_Steiman
Cloudy vision is what the market tries to avoid. It hates uncertainty. That's understandable. In the real world, none of us do either. The market is trying to understand what now. With the fiscal cliff dead ahead, who is going to step up on both sides and make something positive happen by meeting somewhere in the middle of each sides belief system. Is it possible for both sides to come to an agreement by checking their egos at the door? In the past, that hasn't proven to be the case and this is what really bothers the market right now. Even today, we heard from Boehner and Obama and both talked about hoping to be able to agree to something. That's not what anyone, especially the market, wants to hear. It wants to see them walk out together to announce that they will work ceaselessly until they find a cure. They will do whatever it takes to make the fiscal cliff become a bad thought that never became a reality.

Probabilities For The Stock Market Going Forward! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Sy_Harding
The Dow plunged 433 points, or 3.3%, in the two days after the election. The timing makes it ‘obvious’ to many pundits that it’s due to President Obama being re-elected.But he was already president prior to the election, and the stock market has been in a strong bull market that started March 10, 2009, less than two months after he was inaugurated. And after a 10% March to June correction this year, the market continued to rally strongly off the June low even as the polls showed him as likely to win re-election.

What’s Around the Corner Now the U.S. Election’s Over / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2012
By: InvestmentContrarian
George Leong writes: Investors bid up stocks prior to the presidential election on Tuesday, when President Barack Obama won his second term. Investor confidence was due to some uncertainty eliminated with the election, but the nervousness quickly resurfaced on Wednesday morning, impacting investor confidence; stocks plummeted on the realization that Obama still has many hurdles to overcome and the fact that the global economy, namely in Europe and China, may be prone to more weakness that will negatively impact investor confidence.

By: Bloomberg
Marc Faber, publisher of the Gloom Boom, & Doom Report, told Bloomberg Television's Trish Regan and Adam Johnson on "Street Smart" today that "Mr. Obama is a disaster for business and a disaster for the United States" and that he "thought that the market on his reelection should be down at least 50%."
Faber also said "I doubt [Obama] will stay at the presidency for another four years. I think there will be so many scandals" and that investors should "buy themselves a machine gun."

The Stock Market Casts Its Vote...... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Jack_Steiman
The market voted on what it thinks of Obama winning last night's election. Four more years. Market is saying it wanted Romney for those four years. You never argue with the message of the market. My feelings are being left out here totally. Anything I say has to do specifically with the market. Again, not me but the market. Want to make it clear because I have my own thoughts that have nothing to do with the market. Bottom line is the market wanted a pro-business president. It got none of that. It wanted a president that it felt could stimulate business. The market wanted large business tax breaks to try and create new jobs. It wanted nothing to do with more debt. That's its message. I am surprised I have to admit by the size of today's drop, but it is what it is. The market had clearly, now in hindsight, been holding up thinking Romney had a great chance to win. The market got it wrong. So today we saw a gap down.
