Who Says “Buy and Hold” is Dead?: How to Double Up on Growth / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Q1_Publishing
Yesterday, the Dow fell for the 14 th trading day out of the past 18. The sharp downturn only caps off an already disastrous market downturn.
As we've been expecting, many commentators say it's the nail in the coffin for “buy and hold” investing – a strategy which has worked for the past five decades.

Stocks Bear Market Rally or Something More? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Mike_Shedlock
The stock market is on a tear this morning on the heels of a statement by CEO Pandit that Citigroup Has A Profit for the first two months of 2009. In a letter sent to employees Monday, Citi Chief Executive Vikram Pandit said the first-quarter performance so far has been the bank's best since the third quarter of 2007 -- the last time it recorded net income for a full period. Based on historical revenue and expense rates, Citi's projected earnings before taxes and one-time charges would be about $8.3 billion for the full quarter. Read full article... Read full article...

Toxic Cocktails and Series of Stock Market Crashes Outlook 2009 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Ty_Andros
I must apologize for the delay in getting this missive out, but I am just now emerging from the fetal crouch I have been in as I have watched the events of the last two weeks unfold. My plan was to cover the commodity markets this week, but instead I am going to go into a fundamental analysis because the marketplace tells me to do so. Read full article... Read full article...

Tech Stocks SMH ETF Expected to Soar / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The enclosed chart shows the ratio of the Semiconductor HLDRs (AMEX: SMH) and the S&P 500 Depository Receipts (AMEX: SPY) for the past nine years. We noted this chart for our subscribers 10 days ago to illustrate how the SMH has begun to strengthen vis-a-vis the SPY in the last 3 months after falling substantially in relation to the SPY's price (from 68% to 18.4%) between 2000 and 2008. This indicates the beginning of a big resurgence of technology relative to the overall market, and that when the stock market actually reverses direction, technology should take a leadership role.

Big Pharma Fails to Stimulate Downbeat Dow Stock / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
The Dow Jones is Bear-ing down on the 6,500 level, as a bout of merger mania (Merck's proposed $41.1 billion takeover of arch rival Schering-Plough) fails to bring out the buyers . Stocks ended a yo-yo session on the back foot. Weighing on the market were heavyweight comments from the former Sage of Omaha Warren Buffett that the current environment was akin to an “economic Pearl Harbor” while Dr Doom Prof Nouriel Roubini chimed in with his view that the US recession (depression) could last another three years.

Contracting Corporate Earnings Confirm Dow 5,000 Stocks Bear Market Target / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: John_Mauldin
This week's writer of the Outside the Box is no stranger to long time readers. Michael Lewitt writes the HCM Market Letter and is one of my favorite writers and truly deep thinkers. He has recently decided to turn his letter into a subscription based model and is meeting with some success, as he should. So, sadly, he will no longer be a regular feature of OTB, but he did allow me to use the current letter, as I think it is one of his more provocative letters.Read full article... Read full article...

Another Negative Monday on Wall Street / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Harry_Boxer
The markets had another down day to start the week. I don't know how many consecutive Mondays we've been down. The day did start with a thrust to the upside and they had a nice sharp rally in the first 40 minutes or so that took the indices to the highs for the day, NDX reaching up to 1087 and change and the SPX getting up to over 695. But that was it for the day, and the indices sold off steadily in a 5-weave decline for the rest of the session in a neat orderly channel that closed near the lows for the day.Read full article...

Obama Markets Show Boom for China and Commodities as U.S. Stocks Slump / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
You have already chosen a life apart from the mainstream. The site you are visiting is not part of the real world. Most of what you read on sites like this one are economic heresies. However, most of us realize that $2 of government spending plus $2 of government spending do not equal $5 of GDP. Rather, the sum of that calculation actually equals $3 of GDP. If we channel spending through governments, we get a negative return. Read full article... Read full article...

Waiting for the Stock Market Buy Signal / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Paul_J_Nolte
In what is getting be a nasty scratch in the record – the markets declined today…(skip) the markets declined today… What has been a nasty February is turning into a just as nasty March. While the employment report indicated hiring is not anywhere close to actually occurring, the revisions to the December and January data put the total “new” losses around 800k for the month. Outside of two other months over the past 80+ years, December, January and February are ranked in the top five for worst job losses.Read full article... Read full article...

More Room to Climb for Nasdaq Q's? / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Either the rally off of Friday's low at 25.71 to this morning's high at 26.80 in the PowerShares QQQ Trust (Nasdaq: QQQQ) is another run-of-the-mill failed recovery bounce or it is a deceptive start of a potent rally period that has considerably more room to climb.Read full article...

Stock Markets Enjoy A Perverse Relief Rally / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Friday saw a “sell the rumour, buy the news” reaction to another very weak payrolls number from the US. A perverse market rally occurred after the headline jobs losses number was not worse than the reported minus 651k. But the back revision to the previous two months totalled a further minus 161,000 suggesting to me that this number will itself be subject to a possible major upward revision. The “official” unemployment rate climbed to 8.1%, though as many point out, the real rate of unemployment is considerably higher . Read full article... Read full article...

Dow Stock Market Bottom or Dead Cat Bounce? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Andrew_Butter
According to my calculation the DJIA is currently selling for about 40% of its long-term equilibrium value. That doesn't mean that prices won't go down, but I don't think they will go down very much more; for a few reasons, not least that following the 1929 Crash prices bottomed (my calculation) at 39% of long-term equilibrium value.

Gold closed the week unchanged after a volatile week that saw it dip below $900 briefly. Oil managed to gain slightly, holding above the $45 marker.Read full article... Read full article...

Into the Thin Zone ... Stock Market Historically Oversold / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
That's where we are and apparently why the most oversold conditions I have ever witnessed are, for now, being ignored. We're including a chart tonight that shows you exactly what the thin zone looks like. No real on the Sp until about 500. Now, and this is important to keep in mind, this doesn't mean we're headed there. The institutions will decide when they should come in and that could be well above 500. The key is simply understanding that the thin zone is alive and when it is, the shorts are less fearful because they know they're shorting without being near major support levels.

Stocks Bear Market Elliott Wave 4 Rally Due / 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 2012-2014. This would imply that much lower prices lie ahead.
SPX: Intermediate trend - We are probably within 2 or 3 weeks of starting a counter-trend move of intermediate nature. Technical signs are becoming very favorable in diverse areas of the market.

The Financial Markets Last “Bubble” that Remains to be Popped / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Clif_Droke
The problem plaguing the market heretofore has been two-fold: a lack of buyers on the retail side and deleveraging on the institutional side of the aisle. In an all-out liquidation market cycles, support levels and technical indicators are of little to no use until the panic subsides and a level-headed approach prevails. Most of the indicators – technical and psychological – are in place for a major bottom and even the charts are starting to look somewhat constructive. We don’t have a confirmed bottom yet, though, so until we do we have to maintain a defensive position.Read full article... Read full article...
