Stock Market Investors 2010 Risk Reward Focus, Calm Seas, Blood in the Water / Stock-Markets / Risk Analysis
By: Bob_Clark
The picture below is a little cheesy but I think it depicts the way many investors feel right now as they sit isolated, feeling trapped and abandoned. They may have listened to the fear mongers and pulled their pensions or are thinking about it, maybe they fired their advisor and are cuddled up with their cash wondering what to do next.

The Chinese Interest Rates Torture Continues For Stock Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Monday brought some respite, as hopes of a reappointment for Bernanke grew and Greece managed to ‘successfully’ launch its 5-year bond. Are risk takers out of the woods then? The jury is still out. Asian equities sold off overnight again, on yet more fears about tighter policy in China (see below). Greece of course managed to raise €8bn, with the book even reaching €25bn. This comes as a relief, suggesting the country is still able to fund itself. However, such success has a price – Greece had to pay mid swap +350bp, or 30bp more than the price of its exiting July 2015 issue. Still, this should help calm fears of a Greek default.

Economic Depression Wealth Preservation, Investing, and Prepping in 2010 / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Mac_Slavo
The trend going forward during this economic depression is getting back to basics. We often discuss ‘prepping’ as a way to protect your family in the event of an unforeseen catastrophe (natural or man-made). Recently, we’ve seen more financial analysts and advisers recommend shifting from traditional investments like stocks, bonds, CD’s and money market accounts, to tangible assets that will gain value regardless of what stock and bond markets do.

Stock Market Investors Fooled by Talk of Economic Recovery / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Miles_Banner
What a week we’ve just witnessed. In 3 days the entire gains in equities in 2010 have been wiped out. The Dow, Nasdaq and S&P 500 all fell into the red for the year to date. The gold price dropped to its’ lowest in a month. And this all happened at a time when investor confidence had started the week at a 27 month high according to the VIX index…

By: INO
Hello everyone this is Adam Hewison. I just got back from New Zealand and Australia and when I returned from "down under" and studied the charts this past weekend, I can see that the major indices have not fared well while I was away.

Stock Market Trend Tracking the 45 Day Cycle / Stock-Markets / Cycles Analysis
By: Jim_Curry
Through my outlooks in recent years, I have often pointed out that the most dominant cycle in US stocks is the nominal 10-week component - which, at the present time, has a current 'expression' of 45 trading days from trough-to-trough.

Stock Market Quiet Inside Day / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jay_DeVincentis
Today's candlestick traded inside of Friday's large down stick and normally that equates to another day of struggling for this market. When a market has trended down for a few or more consecutive days and you get this type of inside stick, you can expect a little more selling in normal times. Apple's (AAPL) earnings tonight could try and turn that tide but normally the market will have a tougher time. Futures are up some after hours based on AAPL so it may be different this time but don't bet on that too much. Nothing will be easy for this market very short term. Those tough and too powerful sentiment readings just haven't been worked off enough to get aggressive with regards to buying stocks.

1. has failed to penetrate the falling trend line on the upside, and
2. has broken below the lower boundary of the (typically bearish) rising wedge pattern

Anticipated Stock Market Correction on Not So Hot Bank Earnings and Economic Data / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Paul_J_Nolte
We may have gotten our answer posed last week with the thud heard on Wall Street this week; earnings at the banks are not that great and neither is the economic data, giving the equity markets a bad case of the flu! Housing continues in a funk, with starts declining (again), although those looking at the glass half full would say that permits (a leading indicator) rose – potentially providing some good news in the months ahead. Also jumping a bit were initial jobless claims, and more importantly the rise above its 10-week average, potentially ending talk of job gains come the February jobs report.

By: Peter_Navarro
Market commentator Peter Navarro presents the case for firing Ben Bernanke and evaluates different trading strategies depending on whether a Keynesian like Larry Summers or Alan Blinder replaces him versus a new "stable money" Fed chair like John Taylor, Martin Feldstein, or Paul Volcker.

Stock Market Sentiment Major Change Underway / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment
By: Graham_Summers
Let’s talk about sentiment.
Last week was the worst market week since March 2009. Similarly, the three-day decline from Wednesday through Friday was the worst three days since March 2009. The market is now officially in the red for 2010. And the persons we’ve identified as market props (Bernanke, Geithner, etc) are now beginning to come under intense fire for their actions.

Will the Stock Market Rebound from Last Week's Beating? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: MoneyMorning
Jon D. Markman writes: Stocks slipped sharply in the past three days as the underlying market weakness we've been highlighting for the past two weeks finally mattered. A number of better-than-expected earnings reports were ignored. Even the successful election of a Republican to one of Massachusetts' two Senate seats, which helped health-care stocks push the market up on Tuesday, wasn't enough.

Stock Market Outlook and Forecast Into Mid 2010 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Donald_W_Dony
Equity markets have enjoyed a near flawless advance since the March low. Now with the quick retracement last week, many investors are becoming concerned that a steep correction is in the making. It is important to remember that markets typically trade up 1/3rd of the time, down 1/3rd and flat 1/3rd. Models suggest that the probability of a period of horizontal trading is increasing as the bull market moves toward mid-2010.

Stock Market Price Plunge Means Lowering Expectations on Intervening Rallies / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Purely from a technical perspective, last week¹s price plunge indicates that significant near-term technical damage was inflicted on the heretofore dominant Mar-Jan uptrend (as viewed in the accompanying S&P 500 chart), and that additional price weakness should be expected into the beginning of February. Furthermore, my intermediate-term cycle work is poised to create headwinds into the end of Q1.

Are Commodities and the Stock Market Dow Index Dead? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Chris_Vermeulen
It was a heart pounding week on Wall Street as traders and investors locked in profits during 2010’s first round of earnings season. While it is normal to see selling of shares after good news hits the market, last weeks melt down was over exaggerated and for good reasons.
