Stock Market Stuck as Investors Demand Risk Premium for Buying / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: Stocks rose worldwide over the past week by 2% to 5%, swelling with sudden courage after positive economic reports from China and shaking off some worsening news in the United States about retail sales and jobs.
Yet results in the past month are still heavily negative, ranging from -5.5% for U.S. stocks and -8.5% for Europe. China has suddenly become the most buoyant region, up 1.5% in the past month.

Is the Stock Market Trend Ready to Repeat Itself? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: JD_Rosendahl
If we make the assumption the bottom of this leg down from the April top is done then the most common expectations are a bullish new high or a bearish right shoulder.
The bullish view is off to a new high. There's not enough technical damage to rule this out. It's not my primary view, but it's still viable. See weekly chart below for what that might look like.

Stocks Shrugging off Bad News Attempt a Rebound / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Retail Sales in U.S. Fall as Consumers Boost Savings - Sales at U.S. retailers unexpectedly dropped in May, signaling consumers boosted savings as employment slowed and stocks fell. Purchases decreased 1.2 percent, the biggest drop since September 2009, following a 0.6 percent April gain that was larger than previously estimated, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington. Demand plunged at building-material stores, reflecting the end of a government appliance rebate, and sales fell at auto dealers, in contrast to industry figures which showed a gain.

Quiet But Positive Day Below Resistance...Weekly's Bullish With Tails..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
Market is overbought short-term but there are no sellers for now. The positive divergences on the MACD on the daily charts on the S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq are keeping a bid in the market. Even poor retail sales numbers this morning for May couldn't kill the market today. The futures fell 30 points on the report on the Nasdaq but after the gap down, the market shot straight back up. No selling at the end of the day even though the Dow was down around 70 points intra-day.

Stock Market Sell in May and Go Away But For How Long? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Sy_Harding
‘Sell in May and Go Away’ sure did work for the month of May, the worst May for the stock market since 1962. And so far the month of June has not been much better.
But go away for how long? Two months? Three months? July is usually a pretty good month for a summer rally isn’t it?

Stock Markets Cautious After A Big Up Day / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
U.S. stocks rallied Thursday with the S&P 500 Index gaining the most in two weeks, as economic reports from China, Japan and Australia that surprised on the upside boosted optimism about the global economy. Caterpillar, the world’s largest maker of construction equipment, rose 5.5% and Alcoa, the biggest U.S. aluminum producer, climbed 4.2%. BP’s U.S. shares rebounded 12%, the most since October 2008 after earlier slumping to a 7 year low, as JPMorgan Chase said the rout in the stock has overshot the potential damage from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Goldman Sachs fell to the lowest in more than a year on reports of a fresh regulatory probe.

The Stocks Bulls and Bears Battle / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: INO
The battle between the Bulls and Bears continues with very choppy trading action. The rally from a potential double bottom is cause for concern for the Bears, however the Bulls are in a similar situation as they have to prove their case with sustained market action.

Stock Market Bulls Fight Back! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had an excellent and very bullish session today. They started out with a sharp gap up, ran sharply in the morning with the S&P 500 taking out yesterday's highs, although at that point the Nasdaq 100 did not. In the following several hours they pulled back in a very orderly, falling wedge-type fashion, which resulted in a breakout eventually in the early afternoon and a rally into the close.

Stock Market Explodes...... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
And so it goes.... Yesterday I saw some strong set-ups across the board on individual charts along with some compressed MACD?s and positive divergences. Figured it was time for the market to go up. Due to poor performance I missed this move by getting shaken out, but ultimately the market did make the move I expected. A strong gap up today on no news that made it trend higher all day with hardly any significant selling along the way. Small pullback's that were quickly bought up as is the norm for such trend days.

EXTEND & PRETEND: A Guide to the Stock Market Road Ahead / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Gordon_T_Long
It will likely surprise you but like a trolley car we are now locked into economic tracks that determine our financial destination. Unfortunately, it isn’t a place anyone would choose knowingly other than possibly the Bilderberg elite.
Financially and economically we are lurching along, rocking from side to side with the occasional unexpected jarring flash crash jolt. But unlike a trolley line, for some reason no one seems to know what the destination is. Many are asking but few are willing to tell.

Stock Markets Risk Reward Analysis From Current Levels / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Chris_Ciovacco
While it may feel like we have entered a new bear market and that nothing like this has happened before, history paints a different picture. Markets move primarily based on greed and fear. The human emotions of greed and fear are the same today as they were in the 1980s (and as they were in the 1950s or any other period you choose to examine). This tells us if it happened before, it can happen again.

Stock Market Rallies Still Getting Sold Into / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
A poor close on Wall Street last night with the pattern of attempted rallies getting sold into continues, driven in part by the corporate calamity that is BP which lost another 16% (on fears they may be forced to suspend their dividend) and BP CDS is now around 400bp 12x higher than before the leak. Also “Bear Sterns & Lehman style” put buying in BP is scaring the market. .Anadarko Petroleum Corp., which has a 25% stake in the leaking well, slid 19% to a 15-month low.

By: EWI
Even non-sports fans have heard by now about the recent debacle known as Baseballgate.
With two outs in the ninth inning, a first-base umpire called "SAFE" when the runner was clearly "OUT." But this was no ordinary missed call; it cost Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game.

Dr. Steve Sjuggerud writes: I don't know why everyone doesn't get it.
Let's see if you do: When the stocks are above the blue line, it's a bull market, and you want to own stocks. When stocks are below the blue line, it's a bear market.
