Stock Market Investors Are Last to Get the Return of Risk Aversion / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Graham_Summers
I’ve been pounding the table about what I think is coming down the pike for months now. Rather than producing another editorial heavy essay, I thought today we’d let the market dictate what’s going on.

A Brief Stocks Market Rally Update / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Tim_Wood
In late December and early January as the market was performing its levitation act to lure as many people into the market as it could, I had a number of phone calls from people who had “missed the rally” and were calling seriously questioning my analysis. I had been telling subscribers that the price action in December and January was an ending move of the current intermediate-term cycle and not a beginning move with a new cycle.

Stock Market Correction Or Bear Market? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
This is now the question we need to ponder and decide which way this market is headed. There are cases to be made for both and I will discuss that later on. Yesterday I spoke about how we had our first down trend confirmed when we broke down out of a bear flag for the first time in one year. Three nasty days down that went lateral for four to five days and then broke yesterday, especially on the QQQQ's or the etf proxy for the Ndx 100. Today was a continuation of that down move after a strong gap up on an artificially induced GDP at over 5% that was created by an interfering Government that simply won't allow things to play out as they should naturally. They simply prolong things but that's for another time.

Stock Market Unfinished Business From 2009 For 2010 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Doug_Wakefield
In March 2009, the Dow bottomed at 6470 and the S&P 500 hit a low of 666. On January 19th we released a report titled, Desperation, which – if this nascent decline continues – will mark the top in the markets, with the Dow at 10,729 and the S&P 500 basically triple-topping on the 11th, 14th, and 19th at 1150. So, in less than one year’s time, the Dow gained 66 percent while the S&P 500 gained 73 percent. And, these numbers are as dubious as they are amazing.

The Coming Debt Cataclysm, Some Investment Opportunities & Defences / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010

“Something is Rotten is the State of Denmark” - Hamlet, 1.4 William Shakespeare
“Last week we interviewed G. Edwin Griffin, author of the Creature from Jekyll Island. Ed explained that the Federal Reserve has been created to preserve the interests of the bankers. Gold is an enemy of the Fed because, when it is demanded as money, it restricts their ability to re-allocate wealth from the people who create it, the miners, manufacturers, farmers and inventors, to themselves as they create fiat money out of thin air.”

The China Google Controversy and the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Clif_Droke
The news spotlight recently was stolen by Google, the Internet search engine giant. A statement issued by Google a couple of weeks ago was greeted by dismay on Wall Street as shares retreated in response to the company’s announcement that it no longer supports China’s censoring of searches that take place on the Google platform. China has defended its extensive censorship after Google threatened to withdraw from the country.Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Crash Risk, Geronimo! / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: John_Browne
As a former army parachutist with a bad head for heights, I recall standing in the doorway of an aircraft while my jumping instructor shouted: "Don't look down!" He understood that my unease with parachuting combined with the sight of thousands of feet of open air could be enough to elicit panic. Many investors in today's American stock and bond markets appear to be getting the same advice. While in my predicament, I had a parachute and a rudimentary understanding of how to use it, I fear that American investors have nothing to break their fall. Read full article... Read full article...

Financial Crisis Triggered Shock and Awe Response for Accounting Driven Recovery / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2010
By: Gordon_T_Long
SHOCK & AWE
Beginning in October 2007, the world has survived a Financial Crisis like no other in modern times. It is the first truly Global Financial Crisis ever experienced. This crisis brought to light a vast array of financial instruments (CDO’s, CDS’s, CLO’s, etc.) being offered by murky financial entities (SIV’s, VIE’s, SPE’s, QSPE’s etc.) that were completely unregulated, often offshore, always off balance sheet and never traded through any regulated exchange. None of these are regulated nor understood by sovereign governments. Minimally, this is a recipe for fraud. But definitely, it has been a modern day financial “wild west” for the innovative and aggressive!

Stock Market Bear Flags Break Down... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
The question becomes for the masses, does that matter very much or is it really not very relevant? Let's discuss what breaking down from bear flags can and usually does mean. If we go back to the March lows of 2009 we can see there was never a time during a pullback where the market basically stood still and formed a bear flag. Pretty much right back up once we had some selling. Strong hollow black candles which left little doubt about what was taking place.

The Chinese Stock Market Is Rolling Over / Stock-Markets / Chinese Stock Market
By: DailyWealth
The bears are starting to win the "China argument" we told you about a few weeks ago.
To recap, the Chinese economy and stock market are the center of a big debate. Some say the country is a huge pile of malinvestment. Some say don't worry, things are fine there. Now let's ask the market who is right...

Nasdaq Trendline Alert for Stock Index Traders / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: INO
One of the most powerful technical tools that a trader possesses is a pencil and a ruler. It sounds kind of old-school, but the reality is trend lines in technical analysis are enormously important.
In my new video I will show you how the NASDAQ index has broken a very important trend line and what the ramifications are for this index.

Stock Market Crash Second Leg, What’s Next in 2010? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Christopher_Laird
A lot of people realize that the world financial and commodity markets have rocketed around 60 pct since March 2009. Around the summer/fall people realized that the markets got ahead of the world economy, which is still terrible. Unemployment is still rising and one day this month there were US job losses of 50,000 announced. Hey if jobs are again going to tank (they are) then this gig of so called recovery is over.

A Dismal Decade? No Way With Stock Market Cycle Investing / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Steve_Selengut
From the end of 1999 through the end of 2009, all of the popular Wall Street market performance measurement tools were in the red. The average bloodletting level of the DJIA, the S & P 500, and the NASDAQ was a disturbing-to-some minus nineteen percent.The Media has dubbed it "The Dismal Decade". Read full article...

Obama And Earnings Reports Soothe Stock Market Investors Nerves / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
A more hawkish than expected FOMC statement yesterday saw equities ending higher and debt lower. There was also relief that Obama’s State of Union speech contained no negative surprises. He announced an extension of tax incentives which was warmly received and announced the elimination of capital gains tax on small businesses. Not sure whether this squeeze has legs but with one hurdle out of the way some of the bears are covering – it’s just a question of whether the long-only sellers we have seen all week decide to come in of the side lines. We are knee deep in earnings and global proxies. CAT, Hitachi Construction etc are guiding lower which doesn’t exactly fill me with a great deal of confidence.

Dow Solid Stock Market Break Down and the Gold Bear Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: J_Derek_Blain
Every Market For Itself! (Or All for One) - It appears that the short respite from this bear market is coming to a quick close. As we have forecast for some time, the everything-but-the-USD bear market is underway and as such our goal is to notify you of topping formations, as the bottom is a little further into the future than our crystal ball is willing to tell.

Stock and Commodities Trading for SP500, Gold, Silver and Crude Oil / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The stock indexes have been trading very choppy making it difficult for swing/trend traders. It’s during times like this when seasoned traders rise above the herd of average traders.
If you only trade one strategy like swing trading or trend trading then you are likely finding it difficult to make money right now. On the other hand, day traders are having a blast right now as they take advantage of the powerful intraday rallies and sell offs.
