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.

Obama in China Opening the Doors for Wall Street, Nothing More / Stock-Markets / China

By: Mike_Whitney

Barack Obama took Hu Jintao to task this morning, scolding the dejected-looking Chinese leader at a press conference held in Beijing. Obama delivered one ferocious jab after another, claiming that China's dollar-peg has cost the US millions of high-paying manufacturing jobs while creating gigantic trade imbalances which have destabilized the global economy and thrust the world into severe economic contraction.

Stock Market Some Selling... Should Be More...Nothing Terrible / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

By: Jack_Steiman

A lateral range is simply that, a lateral range. It frustrates. It's annoying. The bulls want things to break out and the bears want things to break down. The bulls have had the best of it for sure and we have come oh so close many times to making that breakout move. We were on the cusp once again and once again the bears came in at the very top of those wedges and took the market down, especially the technology stocks. Those are the stocks that are most overbought and to be blunt, most frothy thus they took the biggest hit.

Recovery Rally in Ultra Short S&P 500 Proshares SDS / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

By: Mike_Paulenoff

This is an extraordinary chart picture from the high in the UltraShort S&P 500 ProShares (NYSE: SDS) at 118.24 (3/06/09) into this week's low at 35.50. The most salient feature is the fact that RSI momentum hit its most oversold level on 8/04 at 45.37, and thereafter, each successive lower price low has been accompanied by a higher low in the RSI. Each one of the divergences produced a potent rally, but none of the rallies has been able to hurdle its prior peak.

By: Gary_Dorsch

The Swiss franc holds this top distinction, even though the Swiss economy does not find its place among the top five economies of the world. Instead, its annual output of $488-billion of goods and services ranks as the world’s 22^nd largest.

Stock Market Good Selling.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

By: Jack_Steiman

If you're still bullish overall as I am, although nothing out of hand, then today is what you wanted to see. There was a chance for a lot more selling than we saw based on two very poor economic reports that came out pre-market. A very low number of new home buyers. 80,000 shy to be exact (520,000 vs 600,000 expected). Also, a higher than expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) (cost of prices to consumers) at 0.3 vs 0.2 expected. Both numbers poor. Each one by themselves is enough to take a market down hard when it's right at resistance and overbought on the daily and short-term charts. (I was even a little cautious and that’s why there’s only one position, Anadarko Petroleum (APC), in our model portfolio.)

Stock Market Consolidation Continues...Bullish Overall Action.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

By: Jack_Steiman

Once again, with the market so close to breaking out, the bears could not take this market down appreciably. Oh, not for lack of effort. That's for sure as the bears tried all day to take things down, but could never gain any steam or momentum. Every bout of selling was met with some type of buying, if not just enough to keep things over 1100 on the S&P 500. Not enough to blast up and out but enough to keep the status quo.

Just Sell Something, Please! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: Guy_Lerner

The act of selling cannot be underestimated. Selling is just as important as any other decision (i.e., buying or money management) involved in trading, but it seems to get less attention in the world of market punditry. I guess it is just better for the ego to say, "I was there. I bought XYZ stock at the bottom tick." However, a buy recommendation is only good if you sell some time later at a profit, and of course, we want that trip from the buy to the time we sell to be accompanied by a tolerable draw down.
