Stock Market Climbing a Wall of Worry / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Captain_Hook
The news could not be worse considering the economy is constantly touted to be recovering by a price / expectation managing bureaucracy and sympathetic media. From bursting bailouts to bulging budget deficits to growing needs to crashing consumer credit – observers are subjected to a constant flow of bad news. And while this is having little effect on price focused small speculators, as mentioned on Monday in our options analysis, it has caused the pros an more educated large investors to at least hedge long positions, which has been bringing put / call ratios up. Of course the net effect of this is for stocks to remain stubbornly resilient, as has been the case, climbing the proverbial ‘wall of worry’.

By: Michael_Swanson
Last week the market pretty much ended the week where it started as the S&P 500 closed on Friday down two points for the week. Gold though continued its torrid rise despite more premature calls by various talking heads and Wall Street experts for a major bottom in the dollar.

U.S. Housing, Dollar and Bonds / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Paul_J_Nolte
If this is the recovery, I would hate to see what a recession looks like!! Housing data released in the last week showed a still lousy housing market – from home builder confidence index that declined by a point to remain well under 20 (50 is “balanced”). Even traffic for new homes was near record lows. Housing starts and permits (a leading indicator of future starts ) both fell again. The Mortgage Bankers report of home purchases fell to a new low and are still down 15% vs. year ago levels.

Don’t Miss Out on the Looming Gold Bubble / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: Gold was all the rage again last week. But why is it rising, and does anyone really know what it’s worth?
According to the way I calculate momentum, gold has just barely entered the gravity-free zone – where it has the potential to start advancing a lot, with much more fluidity.

Marc Faber, Wall Street Is Living It Up, Everyone Else Is Suffering / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: LewRockwell
It has been a tumultuous phase for the markets globally in the recent past with major contractions in the private sector and huge stimulus packages. The question remains whether the markets are going to rally from here or is it bracing itself for a correction. Commenting on the same, Investment Guru Marc Faber says that the US economy did not respond well to stimulus packages. However, he adds, “The asset markets responded well to stimulus. The US Fed is keen to push the asset markets.”

Red Alert, The Second Wave of The Financial Tsunami to Hit in 2010 / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Matthias_Chang
Many of my friends who have been receiving my e-mail alerts over the last two years have lamented that in recent weeks I have not commented on the state of the global economy. I appreciate their anxiety but they forget that I am not a stock market analyst who is paid to write articles to lure investors back into the market. My website is free and I do not sell a financial newsletter so there is no need for me to churn out daily forecasts or analysis.

Footprints of a Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Magnus_Ekervik
Asset markets around the world have been propelled higher from fiscal stimulus packages, record low interest rates and money printing. This type of government action can push markets higher in the short term, but to create long term growth bank lending has to increase along with rising consumption and job creation, none of which has happened. Actually bank lending is still contracting, unemployment is rising and consumption is in decline.

Stock Market Mixed Signals Warn of Near, But Not Imminent End to Bear Rally / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
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 much 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 rally from the 1030 low has entered a consolidation/correction phase which is likely to be followed by higher prices into the normally bullish December season.

Recognising a Stock Market Top in the Making / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Oakshire_Financial
John Whtehall writes: Risk Outweighing Reward for Financial Markets... Remember when the S&P was playing around 666-670? Remember that day? Of course we do. However, remembering how you felt on that day is far more important than glancing back at a date on a calendar. Most of the investing population remembers early March as if it were yesterday, but many investors are far too forgetful of the emotions elicited during that time.

Stock Market Expected to be Quiet Over Thanksgiving Holiday / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Guy_Lerner
In holiday shortened week, there won't be much to gleam from market action in the coming week.
Over the past couple of months, Monday's have been kind to the bulls. Wednesday will be light as traders ready for Turkey Day on Thursday. Friday is another snooze fest that seems to go to the bulls --why spoil a great American holiday?

Stock Markets Succumb to Profit Taking / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Prieur_du_Plessis
Stock markets succumbed to a bout of profit-taking last week, sparked by concerns that the rally has overshot the pace of economic recovery. Riskier assets were showing signs of fatigue as the US dollar - the catalyst of many recent moves - stabilized and was perceived to be near its trough (if only short-term in the books of ardent dollar bears).

Possible Stock Market Top Or Emergent Sideways Pattern? / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Peter_Navarro
You know the stock market is in trouble when the only explanation for stock price movements is the direction of the dollar. Market goes up -- must be the dollar going down. Market goes down like last week -- must be the dollar firming up.

Stocks Bear Market Rally Lives On / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Tim_Wood
The rally out of the March low lives on. Cyclically, this is a higher degree move that is, thus far, still intact. From a Dow theory perspective, there was a short-term non-confirmation in place the week of November 13th, but this last week that was corrected and the uptrend was reconfirmed. However, the longer-term data has not changed. From a longer-term perspective, this rally still must be viewed as a counter-trend affair or a cyclical bull within an ongoing secular bear market.
