Why Stock Market Price Spikes Are Actually Your Friend / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

By: Chris_Vermeulen

I could go on in detail about why and what price spikes provide us short term trades with, and I will in a future article and video. Keeping things short and simple we will let the charts to the speaking for now because they paint a very clear picture of what they do and how quickly we should expect our profit targets to be reached.

The chart below shows the recent price spikes in the SPY. These spikes come and go, meaning some months we may only see a couple, and other months we see 10-20 of these incredible momentum trading opportunities.

Vauxhall Zafira Fires Panic, Issues Second Recall Whilst Owners Wait for Inspections / ConsumerWatch / Auto Sector

By: N_Walayat

Vauxhall appears to be in a panic as the first recall of about 220,000 Zafira B's in the UK of November 2015 does not appear to have fixed the fault that is causing Zafira's to catch fire and literally explode, and so Vauxhall today issued a SECOND recall in an attempt to get a grip of the crisis.

Senate Passes Bill Letting 9/11 Victims Sue Saudi Arabia / Politics / US Politics

By: Stephen_Lendman

The despotic Saudi regime is guilty of many high crimes. 9/11 isn’t one of them, the mother of all false flags, Washington responsible, perhaps complicit with Israel’s Mossad.

Bin Laden and Riyadh had nothing to do with what happened. Osama was dying in a Pakistani hospital at the time, expiring months later from natural causes.

Stocks Prepare to Crash as the Last Buyer Stops Buying / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Crash

By: Graham_Summers

Stocks are now on borrowed time.

Corporate buybacks have been the single largest driver of stock prices in the last quarter. Institutional investors have been net sellers for 15 weeks. And individual investors have been pulling capital out of stock funds in record amounts.

This leaves corporate buybacks as the sole driver of stocks. But now that is ending.

Yellen’s Talk of Interest Rate Hike Causes Stock Market Plunge / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Harry_Boxer

The stock market indices had a really volatile and interesting day today due to the FOMC. The day started out with a very nice run up in a 3-wave, corrective-type move, reaching resistance midday just before the FOMC. When that occur, and indications of a probable or potential raise in rates in June, it took the market back form 4362 down to 4305, a big, 57-point drop. The S&P 500 dropped from 2060 to 2035, 25 points. They backed and filled in a right-handed, extended-V bottom to finish positive, and get the blue chips back down near flat.

Fed Shocks The Stock Market... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Jack_Steiman

The fed minutes were announced today at 2 PM ET. The market was expecting the minutes to say that things aren't that good economically, and that the prospect was for continued low rates. SURPRISE!!!! The minutes said that Ms Yellen would hike if the data improved in Q2. While that's not very likely, it is interesting that she talked about raising rates in June. She's so far behind of the curve that maybe she's getting anxious about keeping rates too low. Maybe she's preparing the market for the inevitable. It has to happen some year. Maybe this year will be that year, although I wouldn't hold my breath. That said it does seem she wants to hike and maybe the market is simply picking up on that. That it doesn't matter if the economy doesn't recover.

Vauxhall Zafira B Fire Recall Update - Pentagon Dealership Experience / ConsumerWatch / Auto Sector

By: N_Walayat

Vauxhall is just one amongst a growing list of auto manufactures being forced to issue recalls for a myriad of reasons from alleged fraudulent emissions ratings by the likes of Volkswagen to Vauxhall's recall of some 220,000 Zafira B models in the UK that are apparently at a real risk of catching fire and even exploding as is the experience of countless Zafira owners over the past few years hence triggering the recall.

What This U.S. Presidential Election Tells Us About Her Millennial Generation / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016

By: Gordon_T_Long

FRA Co-founder Gordon T. Long is joined by Kristin Tate in discussing her book and the outlook of Millennials on the upcoming US election.

KRISTIN TATE is is a political columnist and author of “Government Gone Wild”.

In her book she says D.C. politicians are shipping our friends and family overseas to fight in wars we shouldn’t be fighting. They monitor our emails, record our phone calls, and peer into our snail mail. They spend our hard-earned cash on things no disciplined family would buy. They tell us who we can marry and what we can put in our bodies. They throw us in overcrowded prisons for smoking pot. They take lavish trips around the world, staying in five-star hotels… and it comes straight out of our paychecks. This isn’t freedom?

Stock Market Trendline Broken on Fed Announcement / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX has now broken its Head & Shoulders neckline and has bounced from its 2-hour Cycle Bottom. A rally above today’s earlier high at 2060.61 implies that it may continue back to the 4.5-year trendline. That doesn’t appear to be the case, but I am just cautioning. On the other hand, a drop below 2034.49 may open the trap door for a panic decline to the Head & Shoulders target of 1967.85, at a minimum.

SPX Bounces off the Neckline / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX bounced almost precisely at the Head & Shoulders neckline at 2040.00, after having complete another impulsive decline. It appears to have attempted a 50% retracement of that decline at 2055.00 thus far. The bounce may have relieved the oversold condition enough to attempt another decline, but the bear market doesn’t gain strength until 2040.00 is broken.

Massive Silver Price Rally During The Coming US Dollar Collapse / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Hubert_Moolman

I have written extensively about how the current silver bull market is similar to the 70s. Despite these similarities, silver will (ultimately) perform much better than during the 70s.

The fractal analysis of the US Dollar Index (below) shows some more similarities and differences between the 70s era and now. I believe that these further supports the expectation that silver will perform much better than it did during the 70s.

Statistically Significant Stock Market Death Cross? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Ashraf_Laidi

Will skeptics and backers of Death Cross finally unite? The S&P500 is currently showing a pattern seen in June 2008 and March 2001, both cases in which the index lost more than 30%. The 50-week moving average is crossing below the 100-week moving average, a pattern whose importance has been highlighted by its rarity and consequence.

The ‘Tide’ has turned… NEGATIVE For STOCKS!!! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Chris_Vermeulen

Currently, a ‘sharp fall’ is now anticipated within the equity markets! This decline will be accompanied with ‘new volatility’.  There is a great deal of ‘uncertainty ‘within the U.S. markets. Currently, we are viewing a ‘textbook’ ‘head and shoulders pattern’ in the SPX and is going to be a big inflection point we look back on months from now.

There are less and less stocks that are participating in the recent move upwards which suggest a technical breakdown is likely to happen.

Stock Market on the Precipice / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Ed_Carlson

For over three weeks equities have been pulling back from the high on April 20; a high that tested the same level seen in the S&P 500 at the August and November highs – 2,110. A break of 2,033 will confirm that the herd has turned. The 200-dma and horizontal support converge near 2,012-2021. However, a break of 2,040 will trigger a bearish head-and-shoulders pattern that measures a minimum decline to 1,970.

Bloomberg Television talks to Jan Hatzius, chief economist at Goldman Sachs and Gregg Lemkau, co-head of global M&A at Goldman Sachs at the Goldman Sachs Leveraged Finance Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.

Hatzius discusses the risks associated with the Federal Reserve overshooting full employment, why he's not worried about a U.S. recession, and corporate America's constructive view of the U.S. economy.

- "I'm not very worried about a recession. I think the risk of recession -- if I look at the indicators that seem to predict recessions the best -"
