Stocks and Bonds, Shun These Two Bad Investments / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Gary_North
The public has been told that the way to wealth is investing. The way to invest, Ph.D. economists tell the public, is to allocate your portfolio between stocks and bonds. Which stocks? An index of American stocks, preferably the S&P 500. Buy a no-load fund. Same with bonds: a mix of mid-term and long-term AAA-rated corporate and Treasury bonds.

Stock Market Making Bearish Lower Lows, Gold Bull Market Intact / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Steve_Betts
"What do we mean when we say that first of all we seek liberty?
I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes.
Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it... What is this liberty that must lie in the hearts of men and women? It is not the ruthless, the unbridled will; it is not the freedom to do as one likes. That is the denial of liberty and leads straight to its overthrow.

Stock Market Bulls and Bears Need to Make Their Case / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Guy_Lerner
Referring to a close below support levels, I stated the following last week: "There is always hope that the failed signal will just be a fake out. It has happened in the past, and such fake outs have led to very strong upward moves. This scenario seems less likely." Well here we are one week later and the "less likely" occurred as the S&P Depository Receipts (symbol: SPY) closed back above old support or resistance levels at 107.58. Of course, this reversal was on shrinking volume.

Can the Stock Market and Gold Keep Rising? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: John_Townsend
The stock market, we know, moves from one emotional extreme to the other. Fear to greed, back to fear then greed, and so on.
And a good stock trader should always be asking him/herself, are we at an extreme and if so, which one?

Shanghai NOT Leading S&P-500: But it’s going in a Different Direction / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Andrew_Butter
Had a few articles out recently saying that the Shanghai Stock Exchange is (perhaps) a leading indicator of the S&P 500:

Stock Market Head and Shoulders Pattern: A Time Symmetry Pattern? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: JD_Rosendahl
The stock market rebounded quite strongly all week and took the bearish tone off the market for now. Something I wrote about a few days ago was the theory of the Time Symmetry Head and Shoulders Pattern. See the daily chart of the DOW below.Read full article... Read full article...

Is Gold About To Rocket and SP500 Tank Video / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Last week we saw stocks move sharply higher as traders started to cover their short position which added fuel to an already oversold market ready to bounce. Overall volume was not that strong on the move up which is a bearish sign. On Friday afternoon we saw the SP500 continue to move into the $1075 resistance level on very light volume. This indicates to me that buyers are not willing to pay these higher prices because the market has moved up so quickly and the fact that it’s trading at a resistance level.

Stock Market Incipient Uptrend / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Peter_Navarro
Since last October, we’ve got nothing but a whipsaw market. Trend looks up. Trend looks down. Repeat.
Implicit in this whipsaw is a sideways pattern where it is VERY difficult to make a buck. Implicit in this whipsaw is continued uncertainty over the direction and strength of the economy.

Stock Market and Gold Summer Correction, Remember White Swans Out Number Black Swans / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Seems like every day there is talk about black swans, what about white swans ? Positive developments to the upside ? Since the Stock market has not crashed, collapsed, evaporated into perma- bear abyss targets, it clearly is discounting something positive ? Whilst bears focus on the doom and gloom of double dip recessions, depressions, armageddon's, focusing wholly on the 15% downtrend price action since the April peak, though conveniently forgetting the 70% advance before it. So I will leave Nassim Taleb to See Black Swans everywhere as an excuse for poor analysis rather than anything of any actionable value. I mean Taleb says forecasts are irrelevant but then prances about in the mainstream media issuing economic depression forecasts, perhaps he should read his own book ?

Bear Market Rally But No Dow Theory Sell Signal / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Tim_Wood
The Dow theory has certainly been a hot topic of late. Seems that everyone has become a Dow theory expert and the price action into the July 2nd low had everyone tripping over each other to make the call that a Dow theory “sell signal” had occurred. I could not disagree more and I told my subscribers over the weekend that a so-called Dow theory “sell signal” had not occurred and that rather than a melt down, a bottom was expected.

SP 500 and Gold More Down Side to Come? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: David_Banister
Back on June 30th, I updated my subscribers that I was looking for an interim bounce in the SP 500 from the 1007 Fibonacci Pivot point to about 1071-1074, followed by much further downside. The chart is included here from June 30th for reference:

Stock Market Recovery or Trap Door? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The economy may cool as consumers spend less.
(Bloomberg) Economists trimmed their U.S. growth forecasts through the middle of next year, though not enough to show the recovery is in danger of faltering.
Growth in the world’s largest economy will average 2.8 percent from the current quarter through the second quarter of 2011, according to the median estimate of 52 economists surveyed from July 1 to July 8, down 0.1 percentage point from last month.

Currencies, Crude Oil and Emerging Stock Markets Moves to Build On / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Ciovacco
Last week, we mentioned stocks could surprise by year-end. Some hopeful signs supporting that thesis are being given in the commodity, currency, and stock markets. Specifically, recent moves in the U.S. dollar, crude oil, Australian dollar, S&P 500, emerging markets, and Sweden provide some additional evidence a double-dip recession is not as likely as some believe.

Investor Opportunities via the Intensifying Challenges / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“At the moment Germany is pushing its neighbors into deflation; this threatens a long phase of stagnation, leading to nationalism, social unrest, and zenophobia. It endangers democracy.” - George Soros, Die Zeit, 6/23/10
“How about the bill does nothing to break-up the concentration of banking power in this country. The too-big-to-fail banks and other systemically dangerous institutions, that just got bigger with the help of government, are nuclear bombs. And not only that, they are crowding out more productive community banks that won't be able to compete with the giants who want to destroy them…

Let’s see the second quarter earnings reports due out next week and how the market reacts to them.”Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Plot Thickens, Time to Reduce Exposure? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The plot thickens for the rally off of Tuesday morning's low at 1003 on the near-term point and figure chart, as the emini S&P 500 makes another marginal new high at 1071. That's the lower portion of my preferred next target zone of 1070-75, but no real selling pressure has emerged just yet that has approached the trigger of a near-term sell signal.

China SSEC and SPX Trend Divergence / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Zeal_LLC
In today’s ever-more interrelated financial world, China’s stock-market action is growing increasingly influential everywhere else. As the globe spins, the results of each day’s stock trading in China often spill over into Europe and then the States to affect sentiment. This impact is universal, but especially pronounced in sectors China plays a major role in like commodities stocks.
