Stock Market Volatility – Traders Must Adapt Or Risk Losing Their Shirts / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2022
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Market volatility remains elevated and may be setting the stage for spikes even higher than we have already experienced.
Global money is continuing to flow into the US Dollar making it one of the primary safe-haven trades. This may eventually trigger a broader and deeper selloff in U.S. stocks. As the USD continues to strengthen corporate profits for US multinationals will begin to disappear.
It’s imperative to assess your trading plan, portfolio holdings, and cash resources. Experienced traders know what their downside risk is and adapt as needed to the current market environment.
If you still have money invested in Amazon, Netflix, PayPal, or one of the many other stocks that are sinking fast there is no easy way out. Your options are:
- Hold tight and “hope” for a rally to recover part of your money.
- Reduce some of your position to “limit your downside” in case the bottom really falls out, and then sell the balance after a bounce of 5-8%.
- Move to cash, “bite the bullet”, get a good night’s sleep, take a break, reassess, and live to come back and trade another day.

Why is vaping a trend amongst teens? / Politics / Social Issues
By: Boris_Dzhingarov
The main objective at the start of the electric smoking industry was to get standard cigarette smokers to make the switch to an e-cigarette and combat their nicotine addictions. Though there are still millions of people who still use cigarettes, many people did decide to make the switch. Par of the electric smoking industry’s success is owed to a group of people that the industry had not taken into consideration, teenagers. As the e-smoking business grew, teenagers all over the world started using it, but is that a good thing?

50 Small Cap Growth Stocks Analysis to CAPITALISE on the Stock Market Inflation / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Dear Reader
The earnings bloodbath materialised that started on Tuesday with Google trading down to $2265, and ended on Friday with Amazon plunging down to a new low of $2425. With the two 'cheap' stocks Qualcom and Facebook rallying strongly post earnings. Virtually everything went according to the script of my last article i.e. "we could see Amazon trade to well under $2500, probably into the $2450 to $2300 support zone". The only odd one out was Apple that refused to budge much from $160, where my expectations remain is headed to below $142.

Gold is following a logical path in 2022 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2022
By: Gary_Tanashian
Reference this article posted on 12.30.21: 2022: The Golden Year
Gold has done nothing unusual and in fact it has done as would normally be expected. In February it began to rally out of the base on the daily (futures) chart below. Driven by war (easy on the war, terror and pestilence bull rationales dear gold bugs) and inflation hype, kneejerkers and momos (momentum players) quickly jumped on pushing gold to an overbought high on March 8. The resulting correction is normal and it is healthy. Momos are not allowed to participate in a real gold bull (at least not until later when the bull is obviously blowing off).
As you can see on the chart, gold found support at the first projected level (this chart was used in an NFTRH update on Wednesday) to possibly contain the downside. However, as also noted in the update, better support is below at and around 1834 and the 200 day moving average. Still below short-term resistance, that lower support is still well in play at this time.

By: Nadeem_Walayat
UK CP LIE Inflation hits 6.2%, whilst RPI that which most corporations raise their prices to has rocketed higher to 8.2% whilst real UK inflation stands at at least 15%, meanwhile across the atlantic US CPLIE inflation of 7.9 % stands on the brink of breaking to well above 8% with real inflation also at around 15% So much for the Pandemic deflationary depression that the clueless mainstream media had been promoting for much of 2020 and then sleep walked into the mantra of transitory inflation for the whole of 2021, finally awakening during 2022 to what amounts to out control inflation, though like gullible fools swallowing the central bankster's sales pitch of laying the blame on Czar Putin's Afghan War 2.0 in Ukraine which illustrates the extent to which what you read in the mainstream press tends to be garbage written by clueless journalists.

Diversification and Pivoting in Volatile Markets with the Help of Investment Funds / Personal_Finance / Investing 2022
By: Submissions
The investment markets are prone to volatility and swings. Anyone with any experience knows and accepts these facts. What’s also important to understand is that no two markets always move in unison. When ETFs are performing well, commodities might be struggling. Fortunately, the financial world is vast and varied. That means you can and often should diversify and move between the available markets to take advantage of swings.
Naturally, there are never any guarantees. What’s more, you shouldn’t invest in markets you don’t fully understand. However, the point here is that you can move from stocks to commodities, for example, at will. Therefore, when certain markets are struggling, why not focus on something else. A practical example of this is the S&P 500. The US index dropped 4.9% in the first quarter of 2022.

Using Stock Market Comparison Analysis For An Edge / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2022
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Multi timeframe, as well as comparison analysis, have many benefits. As traders, we tend to utilize the shorter-term time frames to enter our trades and place our stops. But the BIG money is made from gleaning information from the longer-term charts. We would classify long term as monthly or weekly while short term would be a daily or 4-hour time frame.
Comparison analysis can be done by comparing different time periods or we can see how our market is trading vs another highly correlated market.
Since we have a lot of subscriber interest in stocks, we thought it might be time to compare the current chart of the SPY to the S&P 500 index during the 2002-2009 period. The S&P 500 weekly chart experienced a nice bull market with several buy points from 2002 up to 2007.

Following Twitter, Elon Musk May Next Want to Acquire Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2022
By: MoneyMetals
Elon Musk’s $44 billion purchase of Twitter is being hailed as a victory for free speech. Musk vows to make changes to the social media platform that will make it a true “digital town square” where people are free to speak their minds, even if others take offense.
Of course, not everyone is excited about the prospect.
“Biden officials worry Musk will allow Trump to return to Twitter,” CNBC informs us.
Musk, meanwhile, is worried that the Biden administration may launch retaliatory attacks by securities regulators. He is also concerned by government policies that are stoking inflation.

Crude Oil Is Holding Its Breath As China Fears COVID Again / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Submissions
While China plans to implement lockdowns for fear of an epidemic, concerns about the coronavirus are taking a toll on the oil market. Will it escalate?
Crude oil prices remained lower on Tuesday, after significant losses suffered the day before. They are still weighed down by fears of a general lockdown in Beijing, the capital of China, as well as in Shanghai, thus risking a demand reduction for black gold.
The concern also affects industrial metals, of which China is a major consumer. They recorded substantial price drops on the London Metal Exchange (LME) on Monday. As per the below chart, the LMEX, an index that incorporates the prices of aluminium, copper, lead, nickel, tin, and zinc traded on the LME, posted 4,864.9 points on Monday, erasing all its gains from March and April:
