Stock Market Heading for an October Crash? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Peter_Navarro

We survived the brief market pullback so thus far September looks a bit safer than in previous years.  The big question hanging over this market is whether the investment-led recovery will be given legs by a revival of consumption.  The jury remains out on this as consumers are clearly saving more and undergoing an interesting transformation from spendthrift bubblemeisters to far more thrifty families.  The danger is that we may catch Japan’s “paradox of thrift” disease: Japanese citizens have been so paranoid about the economy that they never spend enough to restore robust growth to the Land of the Setting Economic Sun.

Awaiting Buy Signals in Short SPY (SH) / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

By: Mike_Paulenoff

If at any point the ProShares Single Levered Short SPY (NYSE: SH) manages to climb above yesterday’s pre-open up-gap high at 57.59, I will get buy signals to be long in anticipation of a powerful countertrend move in the major equity market ETFs. Unless and until that happens, however, the dominant near and intermediate trends will remain down for the SH.

Small Cracks in the New Stocks Bull Market / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bull Market

By: Donald_W_Dony

Fledgling bull markets are normally characterized by a series of internal gauges. Long-term shifts in capital spending between specific industry groups and asset classes have general occurred at the start of every new advance. For example, consumers become less defensive and start purchasing those items that they want but don't really need. Traders move out of safe fixed income assets and look for higher returns in stocks. All of these elements were present at the bottom of the last great bear market and the beginning of the next bull in 2002-2003. But they are still missing in this market.

More Financial Bubbles Ahead? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: Bob_Chapman

Almost all important, pertinent data reflects continued weakness in the economy, especially retail sales and unemployment.

There are small signs of inflation in spite of bogus government figures. In the flight to quality we see stronger gold, silver and commodities despite heavy market manipulation by the government.

Finanical Crisis, Ignoring Hindsight / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009

By: Paul_Petillo

Ask any cop on the street for their assessment of a drug bust.  It goes, they will tell you something like this: “Sir, may I search you?” “Yes.”  “There is crack in your pocket.”  “Not my crack.” “But sir, it was in your pants.” “Not my pants.”

Stock Market Achieves New 2009 Highs / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

By: Mark_McMillan

Monday's market action saw volume decrease on the NYSE and all of the major indexes opened lower but were able to achieve new closing highs for 2009, even if some of the gains were modest. The Semiconductor Index (SOX) mimicked the major indexes in moving higher while the Semiconductor Holders (SMH) were flat (lost one cent).

Stock Markets Trek to Higher Ground / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

By: Paul_J_Nolte

In a shout out to Kasey Kassem – keep your feet on the ground and reach for the sky! The equity markets continue the trek to higher ground last week, as the markets rose for 5 consecutive days before taking a breather on Friday. In what was a quiet week for economic data, the markets by rising most of the week are indicating that the path of least resistance remains higher. The coming week we’ll get to see the impact of “cash for clunkers” as retail sales will be released, along with inflation data and housing starts.

Explosive Upside Potential for Stock Market S&P 500 Index / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

By: Mike_Paulenoff

Once again, the market attempts to sell off (perhaps triggered by the imposition of tariffs on Chinese tires by the Obama Admin), but the weakness does not stick. From a medium term perspective, the daily chart of the S&P 500 e-mini contract remains remarkably and potentially explosive on the upside as it fulfills the long standing target zones projected off of the huge base pattern -- at 1100 and then 1200.

Unemployment And Stock Markets, Next Good News Or Great Depression? / Stock-Markets / Economic Theory

By: Andrew_Butter

The implicit and sometimes explicit promise of government is they will do "useful" things, like control inflation (both up and down through the genius of Inflation Targeting), keep "The Motherland" safe from aliens, bail out banks, create jobs and if they can be bothered, do things like organize assistance to hurricane victims like they did after Katrina. That's why people pay taxes, and more important, that's why they vote.

Stock Market Crash, Rosenberg Says this is Your Last Chance! / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Guy_Lerner

Over the last several months, we have been very fortunate to read the missives of Gluskin Sheff's chief economist and strategist, David Rosenberg. Aside from a stellar career at Merrill Lynch, Mr. Rosenberg gained notoriety for his early "call" on the recession that began in December, 2007. Now Mr. Rosenberg is gaining notoriety as the last bear standing. Despite a 50% run in the S&P500 and a growing chorus that the economy has turned a corner, Mr. Rosenberg has been steadfast in his resolve:

Stock Market Counter Trend Rally Near Reversing, Awaiting Top Confirmation / 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. This will not be a straight-down decline, but a series of intermediate-term rallies and declines until we have reached the low point.

SPX: Intermediate trend - near reversing! The counter-trend rally which started in March is soon coming to an end. The price objective for a high is being reached and, to deceleration, we have now added negative divergence. But we cannot call a top until we have a confirmed reversal.
