Prechter Stands Alone Again... He's Done the Math / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: EWI
Neil Beers writes: So Bob Prechter is bearish again.
That may be no surprise to some, but recall that Prechter was about the only bull on February 23 of this year when he covered the short position he had recommended on July 17, 2007. That was nearly two years later and 800 points lower in the S&P. And the Daily Sentiment Index (DSI) reading for the S&P had gotten down to only 3% bulls!

Will the Stock Market Also Defy September History? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Sy_Harding
The market has done quite a job of ignoring its history so far this year.
It experienced a sizable loss of 25% in January and February, during its usually positive winter months, not launching into a sizable rally until March (while still in its historically favorable period).

Stock Market Bulls Jump in on Light Volume / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Mark_McMillan
We continue to be patient with our positions moving slightly against us. The very light trading volume seen makes it difficult to believe in this modest move. Our BIAS is still bullish so we continue to monitor the market moves to determine whether we will be forced to move back into a long position.

Unwinding..... Stock Market Bearish Case Takes A Bit Of A Hit... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
The bearish case, which just a few days ago, looked pretty good, now has a bit of a problem. Let me first say that the bearish case is far from dead. There are lots of possibilities out there that can play out bearishly but the near term picture has changed a bit. The biggest headache for the bears is the fact that we had some very overbought daily charts with some nasty negative divergences in place. These charts have really unwound most of the overbought conditions and the Macd's have thus pulled way down, working off those nasty divergences.

1930's Depression Bear Market a Plausable Reality for Todays Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Joseph_Russo
Half Empty circa 1930
In similar fashion to the present wisdom held by the majority of professionals, it is with certainty that the majority of those embedded in the ’29 quagmire viewed their 48% V-shape rally in the Dow as the start of a full economic recovery, an end to the crisis, and a sure sign of a permanent return to prosperity.

Banking Sector Practices, Sure It’s Legal… But Is It RIGHT? / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Graham_Summers
Folks, I’d like to ask your indulgence today. Typically we reserve these pages for in-depth analysis of the stock market and economy. But I’ve grown FED UP with the complete lack of coverage that one area of the current crisis has received.
Ever since the Financial system started imploding in July 2007, I’ve heard countless folks talk about liquidity, bull markets, bear markets, the dollar, bailouts, etc. But there’s one thing I’ve heard virtually NO ONE talk about. That is:

Stock Market The Insider Selling Fallacy Exposed / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment
By: Q1_Publishing
The market rally has been strong and the bears continue to look for anything that could signal the downturn they’ve been waiting for months on to come.
The latest “it makes sense on paper” market myth the bears have clung onto has been insider trading activity.
Insider trading is when corporate insiders like directors and executives buy or sell their own companies stock. It’s legal, regulated, and the insiders must disclose within four days of when they buy or sell their companies shares.

By: Investmentscore.com
Don't Be So Sure - Things Aren't Exactly 'Normal' - Starting in late 2007 and through 2008 a historic, worldwide market crash brought some of the largest corporations in the world to their knees. Between bankruptcies and bailouts, many massive financial institutions have been struggling simply to keep alive. Trillion dollar currency markets have been thrashing up and down like penny stocks. The largest housing bubble in history has popped with governments intervening and thereby prolonging the effects. Worldwide trillions of dollars in market equity has been lost.

Stock Market Late Rollover Puts Indices in Negative Column / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Harry_Boxer
The indices ended the day with losses to follow up yesterday's decisive decline, but the going was volatile. The indices opened sharply lower to new pullback lows, and then rallied just as sharply to test yesterday afternoon's rally highs but couldn't get through. They then came down to retest, made new lows on the SPX but failed to do so on the NDX, and that resulted in a snapback rally that went right back up to resistance again and failed.

Treat Any Stock Market Weakness as a Buying Opportunity / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bull Market
By: Money_and_Markets
Claus Vogt writes: The seasonal market statistics are clear: September has historically been the worst month for stocks of the year. Plus it’s followed by October, the month of the most spectacular stock market crashes in history.
This is why many bears — who have actually gotten more visible again during the past few weeks — say it’s time to get out of the market now.

Stock Market Drop Darkens the Outlook for an Already Bleak Month For Investors / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Money_Morning
When it comes to U.S. stocks, the first trading day of September typically sets the tone for the rest of the month.
And with share prices having hit a sour note yesterday (Tuesday), investors probably shouldn't anticipate a positive showing for the rest of September.
