Global Stocks Bear Market Rally Will End with Japan as Hyperinflation Rips Economy to Pieces / Stock-Markets / Global Debt Crisis

By: John_Mauldin

Let me welcome you to a new year of Outside the Box. I doubt we will have trouble finding interesting commentary this year, as there are many things that could happen that demand our attention. We start with a short column by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard of the London Telegraph giving us a quick run down of the problems faced around the globe. He thinks the #1 problem is Japan, and I more or less agree.

Stock Market On Breakout... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010

By: Jack_Steiman

Friday was ugly and certainly well within normal behavior when you consider just how overbought those daily charts had been. Some unwinding was needed thus that selling couldn't be unexpected. You would think that the market would spend some time unwinding further but not this market apparently. The futures shot up overnight. The dollar fell and that was the perfect tonic for the market. It seems a falling dollar is still the best medicine for this market, although we have seen the market stay resilient when the dollar sells. Seems the bears can't get it right on either side of that trade these days.

By: Captain_Hook

Divergences in various markets, indicators, and data continue to grow across the gambit, with patterns indicating some sort of resolution is set for as early as next week – as discussed previously. A diamond is forming in the widely followed S&P 500 (SPX) (and other broads) due to pinnacle next week, which as suspected for some time now, should keep equities buoyant until the New Year.

What Institutional Stock Market Investors Did Last Week... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010

By: Marty_Chenard

If you recall last Wednesday, we discussed the trending action on the "core holdings" held by Institutional Investors.

That was an important discussion for two reasons: 1. Because Institutional Investors represent over 50% of the daily trading volume. 2. Because our 60 minute Institutional Index chart was in a "megaphone pattern".

Which Sectors Will Lead the Stocks Bull Market During 2010 / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010

By: Money_Morning

Jon D. Markman writes: Digging beneath the surface of the late 2009 market for clues, we find that some measures of breadth continue to deteriorate even as the major indices continue to float near their highs. For example, the percentage of stocks above their 10-day moving average has gone from 81% on Christmas Eve to 71% now. This is an indication that buyers have become more selective.

New Year ETF Trading for Stocks, Gold, Crude Oil and Natural Gas / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010

By: Chris_Vermeulen

Welcome back everyone!  It’s time to buckle up and get ready for another exciting year of trading.

When the market is moving on light volume I tend to focus on very short term plays to minimize my exposure to volatility. The past couple of weeks have been great for day traders and futures trades as we took advantage of the short term seasonal holiday rally in the broad market and also by shorting gold when bounces reached resistance levels.

Stock Market Short-term Correction in a Bear Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010

By: Andre_Gratian

Current Position of the Market
SPX: Long-term trend - Down! The very-long-term cycles have taken over and if they make their lows when expected, the bear market which started in October 2007 should continue until 2014. This would imply that lower prices lie ahead. As illustrated by the current market performance, this will not be a straight-down decline, but will consist of a series of intermediate-term rallies and declines until we have reached the low point.

SPX: Intermediate trend - The SPX reached its 1130-35 projection on 12/28 and had a sharp sell-off at the close of 12/31. This is a reversal which is more likely to be of short-term nature than of intermediate proportion, but could develop into one over the next few weeks.

Stock Market Bullish Investor Sentiment At Tipping Point? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment

By: Guy_Lerner

From an investor sentiment perspective there is very little to like about the current US equity market. The "dumb money" continues to be bullish to an extreme. The "smart money" is neutral to bearish. Company insiders continue to be relentless in their selling. The Rydex market timers are their most bullish since mid August. With most investors in the bullish camp, at some point the market will reach its tipping point, and it is my expectation that this will be sooner than later. After all, who is left to buy if everyone is so bullish?

Is the Fed Juicing the Stock Market? / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation

By: Mike_Whitney

Is the Fed manipulating the stock market?  TrimTabs CEO Charles Biderman seems to think so, and he makes a strong case for his theory in an article at zerohedge.com.

Biderman focuses his attention on the mystery surrounding the stock market's 9-month rally and asks, "Where is the money coming from?"  After all, the market cap has increased by more than $6 trillion since March 9. That amount of money should be fairly easy to trace; right?

Financial Markets Outlook 2010, Wealth Protection and Investment Insurance in Unstable Times / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010

By: Elite_E_Services

We are not providing the solution, we are asking the question, how to protect wealth in uncertain times?  The financial crisis has changed the lives of millions.  One of them, Glen Pizzolorusso, used to be a subprime mortgage broker making more than $100,000 a month:

For Pizzolorusso, the story started when he was just 14 and working in his father's mortgage firm. Making a habit of 60-hour weeks, he found his way up from his father's company to a position as head of a subprime mortgage sales team. He was bringing home more than $100,000 a month, choosing each day which of his five cars to drive, shuttling between two luxury homes, partying in expensive New York City nightclubs.

By: Guy_Lerner

Looking out over the next 12 months, my outlook for the S&P500 is bullish. This may surprise many of you as I have had a cautious bent for the better part of six months now, and I have been writing about selling something, anything for the past 6 weeks.
