Stock Market Investor Sentiment: The Trend Is Your Friend / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment
By: Guy_Lerner
Investor sentiment changed little as the 3rd quarter came to an end. The "smart money" continues to sit tight and has yet to tip its hand. The "dumb money" or retail investor (sorry, no offense meant to those who have been right for the last 3 months) continues to buy the dips aggressively. Company insiders continue to sell in record numbers. In the end, it is the same story as "the trend is your friend until it ends".

Where Next For The Dow Jones Stock Market Index? / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Andrew_Butter
Round numbers I'm calling the intra-day high on the Dow of 9,938 on 23rd September as a "hit", that's within 1% of where my model in May said it would reach without any mishap (http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article10604.html).

Stocks Bull Market Correction Continues, U.S. Dollar Bears Running Out of Time? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The Stock markets continued to correct following the preceding weeks sell signals as confirmed in last weeks newsletter. The market has now given a ABC pattern which allows me to generate a trend channel within which I can trade more closely to the price, i.e. rather than leaving stops far distant due to the lack of price action as the below chart illustrates (more on trading, eventually at walayatstreet.com).

By: Anthony_Cherniawski
No new entries on the FDIC Failed Bank List. What gives?
U.S. stocks fell, capping the market’s first back-to-back weekly declines since July, as a bigger-than-estimated loss of jobs and a drop in factory orders spurred concern the economy is struggling to recover.

Financial Markets and World Economy Fingers of Instability / Stock-Markets / Economic Theory

Fingers of Instability
Ubiquity, Complexity Theory, and Sandpiles
Stability Leads to Instability
A Stable Disequilibrium
3 Billion and Counting
"To trace something unknown back to something known is alleviating, soothing, gratifying and gives moreover a feeling of power. Danger, disquiet, anxiety attend the unknown - the first instinct is to eliminate these distressing states. First principle: any explanation is better than none... The cause-creating drive is thus conditioned and excited by the feeling of fear ..." Friedrich Nietzsche

Sock Market Breaks Support on 20Day Exponential Moving Averages / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
We can remember the beginning of October as the time when the major indexes across the board lost their 20-day exponential moving averages. The market had traded above them for many months. So long, in fact, that they were able to cross over the 50-day exponential averages, which is quite bullish.

A Jobless Economic Recovery or Something Else? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
U.S. job losses accelerated last month and the unemployment rate climbed to the highest level since 1983, stark reminders of how the worst financial crisis in a generation may undermine consumer spending and economic growth in the months ahead.

Another October Stock Market Surprise? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Andy_Sutton
I have been asked countless times in the past month why it is that share markets seem to have a difficult time navigating the autumn months. Obviously, there is a healthy amount of fear regarding the next 29 days, as the memories of last year are still firmly intact. Yesterday’s 203-point drop in the Dow Jones Industrials Average has done nothing more than rekindle those sour memories. While the question ‘Why October?’ is largely rhetorical in nature, we can certainly take a look at history for some potential causes for the blowups.

CAUTION: Stock Market Crash /Collapse Dead Ahead Say Faber, Rogers, Dent and Celente / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Mac_Slavo
After a massive upswing in US stocks over the last six months, the recent rally may finally be coming to an end. It seems that the trend of rising stocks on bad or better than expected news may be in a reversal, as evidenced by market participants’ caution over the last couple of weeks. For those that follow contrarian investors like Marc Faber, Jim Rogers, Gerald Celente and Harry Dent, this should come as no surprise.

Has the Six Month Stock Market Rally Ended? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Bob_Chapman
The G-20 Pittsburg Summit ended last Friday. Their official statements made for some novel and interesting reading.
We were informed that the group could by working together could manage a transition to a more balanced pattern of global growth. Tending to domestic demand as private savings increase. It is obvious to us this cannot work. We are seeing increased savings and decreased consumption. The IMF as well agrees with these policies. We cannot recall that the IMF has made a correct decision over the past 50 years. The group gushed forth the same platitudes we’ve heard for years. The shared understanding and deepened dialogue that produces no solutions, only more power and wealth for the entrenched elite.

Stock Market Collapses Through Support / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
1046, 2090 and 9648 on the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow respectively. Those are the magical 20-day exponential moving averages that all went down today without a fight. The market didn't even have to gap below those levels to get the job done. Normally, important levels of support go away through morning gaps but today we saw the bears take control and just destroy those 20-day exponential moving averages.

Credit Crisis Explained- Credit and Credibility / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008
By: Richard_Karn
Chapter 2: “Nobody’s right, when everybody’s wrong”
Chapter 1 Here : “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!”
Arguably more effective than the military adventurism that dominates the headlines, what amounts to American cultural imperialism has subtly seduced large swathes of the world, and it has not been limited simply to a taste for fast food, film, and fashion. The far more addictive aspect has been the successful overseas marketing of the “debt culture” via the financial innovation associated with the securitization (derivative) markets, which at $27 trillion has constituted the US’ largest export of the 21st century. This is the realm of the money center banks. 1

Stock Market Collapsing Into the Close / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Harry_Boxer
It was an extremely negative session for the indices as they dropped from the get-go, fell sharply all morning, stabilized around mid-day, tried to rally back mid-afternoon but failed at resistance, and then rolled over, especially in the last 10 minutes when they collapsed into the close.

U.S. Financial System Systemic Failure Approaches / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Jim_Willie_CB
Debate stirs on whether the financial structure of the USEconomy is broken irreparably. Debate stirs on whether actions taken in the last year or two have put the nation on a path that can even achieve stability, let alone recovery. Debate stirs on whether a pernicious and not so secret syndicate has taken control of the USGovt financial ministries, let alone be removed. Debate stirs on whether lack of US Federal Reserve audits and disclosure of their accounting is integral to sustaining the syndicate control as well as its probable egregious fraud. Debate stirs whether the nationalizations have actually enabled adoption of wrecked assets, have concealed executive ransacking, and have buried massive counterfeit of bonds.

Deferring Financial Disaster / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Midas_Letter
Those who read the contrarian and alternative financial commentators may well be forgiven for wondering why the financial doomsday oft predicted hasn’t quite materialized. The financial crisis heralded by the crash in October 2008, preceded by the demise of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, among others, by all accounts was the tip of the iceberg and the advent of the Great Depression of our age.
