The Worst Urban Crisis in History Could be Upon Us / Stock-Markets / China
By: Harry_Dent
Like our resident market P.I. John Del Vecchio, Kyle Bass is one of those hedge fund managers who profited in the last crash when he bought credit default swaps to short the housing market.He’s also one of the few financiers in the market today who says there’s a reasonable chance the U.S. will fall into a recession over the coming months. But he’s really on the money when it comes to China.

Death Crosses Across The Board Are IRREFUTABLE Stock Market Sell Signals / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: I_M_Vronsky
A recent insightful and timely article by internationally known analyst Graham Summers galvanized my attention. Graham’s focus was using Weekly Charts to demonstrate the accurate forecasts of Bear Markets in the US. His stock sell signal is based upon the Death Cross definition where the 50-week moving average falls below the 100-week moving average. Summers’s astute analysis speaks for itself:

Bitcoin Trading Alert: Bitcoin Price Stays below $450 / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
In short: short speculative positions, target at $153, stop-loss at $515.
Bitcoin has enjoyed a spell of decreased volatility which has led some commentators to draw parallels between the currency and other asset classes, gold being an example. On the Wall Street Journal website, we read:
In April, volatility in bitcoin’s price fell below that of gold for 28 consecutive days, the longest period in its history. Bitcoin volatility also briefly dropped below that of another flight-to-safety trade, the Japanese yen, according to data from FactSet and CoinDesk.

Australian Tax Office Declares War On Bullion / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Paul_Behan
The Australian Tax Office has started aggressively auditing Australian bullion dealers. One smaller dealer who had their own range of bullion rounds manufactured has taken the drastic decision to close their business. In Australia, there has always been a goods and services tax (GST) on collectors coins eg: proof coins, but generic bullion coins and bars have not attracted the 10% GST.

First Soros... Now Jim Rogers Predicts Trillion-Dollar 'Biblical' Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Jeff_Berwick
Last year, we were the first financial site to explain how the Shemitah seven-year cycle would have an important and disastrous effect on the markets. The Shemitah ended in the third quarter of last year and just as we predicted, it was the worst quarter in worldwide stock markets since the last Shemitah in 2008.
Since then we have been the leader in explaining further Shemitah trends embedded in the once-every-49-year, Jubilee Year. The Jubilee Year ends on October 2nd of this year, and we expect even worse events to occur as October approaches.

Stock Market Negative Start to the Week / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices started out with a nice move to the upside and reached their peak early morning, they came down midday, bounced around in the afternoon, tried to rally back mid-afternoon, and then rolled over hard to finish at the session lows.
Net on the day, the Dow was down 8.01 at 17,492.93, 158 points off the high. The S&P 500 was down 4.28 at 2048.04, 7 points off its high. The Nasdaq 100 was down 7.80 at 4355.10, 27 points off its high.

Stock Market Trading Between The 20's And 200's... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
For fourteen of the past fifteen days the S&P 500 has been trading between the 20- and 200-day exponential moving averages. Neither side has been able to take control. Boring beyond words. Day after day we move basically nowhere. The volatility is gone for now. I have no idea what catalyst will come along to allow for a breakout, but you don't know if you can even trust when the move occurs. The 20-day is at 2059. The 200-day is at 2024. When one breaks we should expect a directional move. It should, but who knows for sure. This market has opposing forces working. The bulls have the Yellen. Low rates are here to stay. Yes, we'll see a rate hike in June, but she won't be promising anything aggressive after that as the global economic environment is not good. Rates will still be very low after the June hike, so big money won't likely be running out.

How the Democrats Could Lose the Presidency--Again / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Walter_Brasch
In 1967, the United States was digging itself deeper into the war in Vietnam.
The anti-war movement was being forged by the youth, energetic and willing to stand up to establishment values. They were the peace-loving environmentally-friendly hippies, the more radical but fun-loving Yippies, and those who held weekday establishment jobs and resented the structure and rules of an older generation that had survived the economic depression of the 1930s, the war years of the 1940s and early 1950s, and now wanted the “Happy Days” comfort of the 1950s.

By: Anika_Walayat
Apart from entering letters to win one of 20,000 holidays (which is proving to be an impossible challenge), another way to win a prize in Walkers Crisps spell & go promotion is from opening one of the single sale packets (not multi-pack) usually 32.5g size, where you can win one of 250,000 instant prizes including sunglasses, cameras, books and packets of crisps. So having thus far failed to win a holiday after entering 140 letter codes, we thought we would give the instant wins a try by buying a big box of 32 bags instant win packets and see how many prizes we can win.

Stock Market Crash Death Cross Doom Prevails / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Nadeem_Walayat
We appear to be at one of those stock market times of the year when cognitive dissonance prevails, for one does not need to look far to see the building mood for imminent doom that apparently has been imminent all year! Nevertheless, it appears to be reaching a new fever pitch of intensity with the focus now on the apocalyptic sounding DEATH CROSS ! Which depending on the analyst has occurred from twice to more than a dozen times this century for the fundamental fact that the Death Cross just like much of Technical Analysis is just a back fitting exercise, i.e. tweak the parameters used so as to fit a pattern with the benefit of hindsight so as to support ones pre-existing opinion.

U.S. Housing Market Real Estate Bubble Part II / Housing-Market / US Housing
By: Michael_Pento
It shouldn't be hard to understand that nearly 90 months of ZIRP has regenerated the equity and real estate bubbles that first pushed the global economy off a cliff back in 2007. In fact, the Fed's unprecedented foray with interest rate manipulation has caused these assets to become far more detached from underlying fundamentals than they were prior to the start of the Great Recession.

Can The British Pound Turn Around? / Currencies / British Pound
By: Richard_Cox
Broad trends in currency markets have been somewhat subdued for most of the year. There are few different reasons to explain why we are seeing this type of activity but it is important to look ahead in order to determine which factors are likely to present themselves during the second half of this year. Most of the recent activity has been centered on the Federal Reserve and monetary policy implications for the US Dollar. But when we are looking for oversold currencies that are basing themselves for strongly bullish runs, one of the best options in the market just might be the British Pound (GBP).

Venezuela Descends Into Chaos... Europe and US Next? / Politics / Venezuela
By: Jeff_Berwick
It has been less than two months since I visited Caracas, Venezuela. While things were already very bad when I was there, they are now worse.
Power shortages have deepened (and this in an oil rich country!); food is becoming scarce (some people have resorted to eating dogs and cats); people lie on concrete slabs in hospitals without medicine (if you thought medical care was bad, just wait until it’s free!); and riots and looting are growing worse.
