Text Book Ending of a Substantial Bear Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Garry_Abeshouse
The end of the dream is not the end of the world, even though it may at times seem that way.
If I have learned one thing about financial markets over the last 40 years or so, it’s that large upward price moves often fail to relate to the realities of the real world. A human civilization based upon limitless consumption, fueled by an endless supply of credit in an environment of limited resources cannot go on forever. At some time it must end. In many ways this is really what the GFC is all about. The financial markets meltdown is merely a symptom of the disease – not the disease itself. This should never be forgotten.

Eurozone Debt Contagion Telling Us It’s Time to Buy Dividend Stocks, REITS and MLPs / Stock-Markets / Dividends
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: With the escalating Eurozone-debt-contagion fears of recent weeks, a significant shift is taking place in the global stock-and-bond markets.
The powerful bull cycle that grew out of the early March 2009 market lows - the quickest and strongest stock-market rebound of the past 50 years - has been losing some of its youthful verve as it matures. That means we can expect the pace of gains to moderate as asset classes (stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities) begin to differentiate themselves.

Why Middle-Class America Is About to Get Slaughtered / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: DailyWealth
Tom Dyson writes: I spoke to a broker at Fidelity a few weeks ago. At the time, the stock market was rising almost every day. There was so much optimism in the marketplace it was almost surreal.

Copper and Canaries, Signs of Panic Brewing in World Financial Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Brian_Bloom
The evidence suggests that the world’s markets may be on the edge of panic.
In particular, the ratio of the gold price/commodities index is manifesting a chart pattern known as a “double top”. Based on historical experience with this type of formation it is very likely that, if the old top is breached, we will see the gold price shooting up relative to commodity prices which, in turn, will likely be falling.&

Why We Hate ETFs / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: David_Grandey
Over the last 5 months we’ve been talking about buying the dips and selling the rips which up until recently has been the buzz. However we can now replace that with:
“Buy in the face of fear and sell into all rallies.”

After the Crisis: Planning a New Financial Structure, Learning from the Bank of Dad / Stock-Markets / Market Regulation
By: John_Mauldin
This week we visit an essay from an old friend of Outside the Box, Paul McCulley, the Managing Directpr of PIMCO. This is a speech he did at the Minsky Conference sponsored (I believe) by the Levy Institute. It was also the same speech he gave at my conference mid-April that was quite well received.
Essentially Paul argues that the cause of the recent crisis was the creation of the Shadow Banking System outside the purview of regulation. And while he did not use the line in this speech, he did at my conference, which is one of the truly great lines I have heard this year.

Stock Market Indices Roll Over, Repelled by Resistance / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices started out the day with firm action, backed off, held support, and then ran to the session highs early in the morning. By midday they retested again and again key overhead resistance at 1840 on the Nasdaq 100 and 1090 on the S&P 500, but couldn't get through and began a slow rollover in the afternoon. In the last 15 minutes that accelerated down into the session lows near key support, particularly on the S&P 500.

Stock Market Continued Bearish Action / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
I tried to think of what else there was to say but horrific summed it up best, I thought. Clearly, we are in a down trending market. I don't think anyone would argue with that premise. If you do argue it, I feel sure that you're totally wasting your energy. With a clean break below the 20- and 50-day exponential moving averages and with some indexes below their 200-day exponential moving average, what good is there to say about things. Nothing if we're all honest about things.

Stock Market Bounce Should Be Short-Lived / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Last week's bottom line can be summarized quite simply: There's a lot of serious chart damage out there! We certainly can look forward to a bounce -- and that could be 7 hours or 7 days -- which repairs or recovers some of the damage from last week. However, my sense is that the bounce will be fleeting and followed by another downleg.

Gold, Dow And The South African Rand / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Hubert_Moolman
Last week was a very interesting week in the gold market. Those people who think that gold is going down from here have a big surprise coming. However, we will probably have more of these scary drops in the gold price as we continue into this volatile phase of the gold bull market. The good news for gold bugs is that we will also have some huge up days, and the general trend will be very much up. Is a $50 or $100 up day coming soon?

Monday Monetary Meltdown, Sill the Euro! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
It’s funny how much damage a splash of cold water can do, isn’t it? Especially when that splash of cold water is reality and the witch is fiat currency. You are very, very lucky because I do not have to rant on about this for 2 pages here because I already told people this was going to happen in March of 2007, when I warned that rising oil prices were indicating a serious issue with fiat currencies and would eventually undo our then-indestructible rally. The title of that post was "Are We Heading for an Economic Tornado?"

ETFs and the Flash Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Exchange Traded Funds
By: Frank_Holmes
Liquidity is one of the key selling points for exchange-traded funds (ETFs), but the Dow Jones “flash crash” of May 6 shows how that supposed advantage can turn into a huge liability for investors.
A report this week from the SEC and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) found that ETFs accounted for the overwhelming majority of securities that fell at least 60 percent that day. Many of those ETFs fell all the way to $0.01 per share during trading.

Conservative Equity Income Investment Filter / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Richard_Shaw
Equity income is important to most investors who have substantially completed the savings stage of life, and who expect to rely on those assets to maintain lifestyle. While bonds are important to portfolios, they do not provide growth of income. Some level of income growth (equity income) is essential to those investors who expect to pay for lifestyle with investment income.

Bears Remain In Charge / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Pick a cliché, tin hat time, carnage , capitulation, get some tinned food for the bunker as the market blew a collective fuse Thursday. Yes the week long rout in stocks deepened, with U.S. benchmark indexes losing the most in more than a year, as economic reports cast doubts about the strength of the economic recovery and European leaders struggled in vain to contain the region’s debt crisis.

The Markets vs. Bernanke / Stock-Markets / Central Banks
By: Michael_Pento
Who should investors listen to; the markets or the Fed? One says we are in for a double dip recession, the other just raised GDP forecasts.
The head of our central bank Benjamin S. Bernanke has a perfect track record for predicting economic outcomes. Unfortunately, his track record is only perfect due to its 100% inaccuracy. The Fed Chairman once assured investors that the subprime housing crisis was contained and would not bring down real estate prices or affect the overall economy.

Evolving Financial Crisis: The World Banking System is Insolvent / Stock-Markets / Global Debt Crisis
By: Bob_Chapman
Keeping up with today’s dysfunctional markets is very difficult because they change hour by hour. The problems of Europe have stolen center stage from US problems. The focus is on Europe, but we all should remember trillions of dollars have been injected into the US financial system since mid-2007. All are attempting to maintain the façade that all is well, when in fact all is not well. Underlying assets are worth far less than their stated value.

Will Extreme Market Volatility Actually Stabilize the Markets? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: Stocks tumbled across the board last week like a pair of dice rumbling around a craps table, rocked by extreme volatility. Just when it looked like they were rolling up the unnerving loss of the critical 200-day average on Thursday, bulls' returned to the fray and pushed the major indexes just barely back into safe territory.

Stocks Medium-term Bull Market May Have Started An Intermediate-term Correction / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Andre_Gratian
Current Position of the Market
Very Long-term trend - Down! The very-long-term cycles are down and if they make their lows when
expected, the bear market which started in October 2007 should continue until 2014.
SPX: Long-term trend - Up! We are in a medium-term bull market, which is a corrective move within a long term bear market. This bull market should last until 2011
