Stock Market Mixed, Narrow Close ... Well Off Lows! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices started out on a very negative note today, moving down sharply at the opening, the S&P 500 dropping from 1277 down to 1265, and the Nasdaq 100 dropped quickly, but it recovered quickly. The S&P 500 also recovered, but not as quickly. However, later when the NDX broke out the SPX started to thrust. We had a strong rally from early morning to just after lunch hour, taking the NDX from 2317 to 2352. The S&P 500 jumped from 1255 to 1283. At that point they were overbought, and we indicated that we thought the market would pull back, which it did, but in an orderly fashion, holding support, which caused a late snapback into the close. The indices ended up positive on the SPX and the NDX, but not quite on the Dow, although the Dow clawed its way back about 130 points.

MF Global Sold Assets to Goldman While It Was Looting Customer Accounts / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2011
By: Jesse
It turns out that MF Global sold hundred of millions in assets to Goldman in the last two business days before its bankruptcy. It is not clear that MF Global actually received the payment for the sale, or if the funds were held by their clearing agent and banker, JP Morgan, who knew that they were going to be bankrupt.
That revolving line of credit at JPM of $1.2 Billion is about the size of the missing customer funds.

Stock Market Forecast 2012. Is The Fed Bailing Out Europe? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Chris_Ciovacco
With the S&P 500 heading toward the October lows on the Friday after Thanksgiving, the ever market manipulating central banks just had to do something. The decision was made on Monday, November 28 to provide a stealth bailout for European banks, and indirectly poorly managed sovereigns. Gerald Driscoll, the former Vice President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, penned an opinion piece which appeared in the Wall Street Journal on December 28. He stated in no uncertain terms:

Stock Market Is Set Up.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Jack_Steiman
The market is set up to move higher. It doesn't mean it has to happen as planned, because, let's face it, folks, both the bulls and the bears have failed miserably in getting things done when they had their chances. There have been many chances for both sides, with the bears being the most recent group to mess up a good thing. They had the market buried with the move below 1225, but once that took place, it was churn time on diminishing volume, and that's all the bears could muster. The bears failed as the bulls took over, and have now worked the market back up to the breakout level, and beyond, for the moment, in a way that suggests somewhat higher prices ahead. Here's the set-up.

How Banks Are Using Your Money to Create the Next Financial Markets Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes:
In 2008, reckless credit default swaps nearly obliterated the global economy. Now comes the next crisis - rehypothecated assets.
It's a complicated, fancy term in the global banking complex. Yet it's one you need to know.
And if you understand it, you will get the scope of the risks we currently face - and it's way bigger than just Greece.

Good Riddance to 2011 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2011
By: Bill_Bonner
Before we say goodbye to 2011, let us pause to remember it…briefly. We spent 365 days with it – 365 days in a row. We can’t just move on to 2012 without at least a backward glance. What kind of a year was it? In what direction did it take the world, dear reader? Should we cheer that it is gone…or merely dry our eyes and hope for the best in 2013?

The Dollar Vigilante's Outlook for 2012 / Stock-Markets / Global Debt Crisis 2012
By: Jeff_Berwick
“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft then by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them but protect them against you....you may know that your society is doomed” Ayn Rand

Financial Markets and Economic Forecasts, My 2012 Cheat Sheet / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2012
By: Elliot_H_Gue
For many investors, 2011 will be remembered as a year of white- knuckle volatility. This year, the S&P 500 experienced one-day swings in value of greater than 2 percent on almost 15 percent of trading days, compared to less than 9 percent of trading days in 2010.Amid such volatility and uncertainty, making one-year predictions about the economy and markets is a fraught enterprise.

Any Difference Between Fractional Reserve Banking and Hypothecation? / Stock-Markets / Global Debt Crisis 2012
By: Sam_Chee_Kong
“ Capital markets are designed for the benefit of the few “
The above quote cannot be better used to describe the ongoing fraud, lies, crony capitalism and cheating in the financial markets. Ever since the collapsed of MF Global, the level of public awareness on the ‘behind the scene’, manipulation and wheeling and dealing of brokers in businesses and politics have somehow heightened.

The Most Significant Market Developments of 2011 with Trends for 2012 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2012
By: Jesse
As always the four great variables in human history are weather, disease, war, and religion. The first two are of God and the latter of men.Weather spans a wide range of natural phenomenon including earthquakes, and similarly religion includes secular movements and philosophies such as fascism and communism, essentially godless religions that involve the ordering of the relationship of the individual with a higher power that is not supernatural.

By: PhilStockWorld
Courtesy of Doug Short. Our gang of eight world market indexes finished 2011 with a thinly traded, holiday-interrupted week that saw little drama. The average weekly performance of the eight was flat, with the CAC 40 taking the top spot for the second week in a row, and the BSE SENSEX at the bottom, equidistant below the flat line.
