Financial Institutions Toxic Securities - Wanted: Market Based Prices / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Axel_Merk
Shaken insurance giant AIG has argued that fair value accounting is what got the world into this financial crisis. This debate is flaring up once again as it becomes ever more apparent that many of the world's largest banks would be insolvent if they priced their securities at “fair” market prices.

Is Buffett Right to Invest in Asia? / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Money_and_Markets
Tony Sagami writes: Warren Buffett knows a thing or two about investing. But what I really admire is that he always tells it exactly like it is … good or bad. Buffett really caught my attention a few days ago when he sent out his annual letter to the shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett's insurance and investment holding company.

Stock Market Train Wreck Continues / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: PaddyPowerTrader
With the impenetrable global financial market gloom showing no signs of abating, stocks took another pounding yesterday. Financials were crushed again and that will grab all the headlines today. Tabloid focus remains on the cosmic black hole that is AIG(reed) and their latest visit to the ATM (American Taxpayers Money), the prospects of Citibank ($1.20) becoming a sub $1 stock and the pared payouts at GE.

Stock Market On Fast Train Towards Zero / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Kingsley_Anderson
On Sunday, I indicated that when the market fails to sell off on bad news, it means the market is finding a floor. When it in fact sells off on bad news, it is certainly not a good sign. This sort of ties into the old market adage, “buy on the rumor, sell on the news,” whereby by the time the news has been published to the world, it has already been discounted by the market.

Stock Market Indices Reach Extreme Oversold Levels / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Harry_Boxer
It was an extremely negative way to start the week, but that's been customary in this bear market. The indices started with big gaps down, tried to rally early on but didn't last long, and then rolled over and sold off steadily until early afternoon when they tried another rally that lacked thrust and rolled over in the last hour to close near the lows for the day.Read full article...

SEC Market Regulation and FAS 157 Contributions Towards Financial Markets Chaos / Stock-Markets / Market Regulation
By: Frank_Holmes
Good Intentions, Unintended Consequences - Not long ago, financial regulators told Congress that the year-old accounting rule known as FAS 157 had little to do with last year's string of high-profile bank failures. This blanket exoneration, however, is not supported by the evidence.
While I don't think FAS 157 is the only reason for the problems encountered by banks, brokerages and other financial firms, it seems that this rule and other regulatory actions may have played an unintended yet significant role by exaggerating the risks associated with the banks' heavily leveraged balance sheets.

After the Crash the Next Great Bubble Boom (Part I) / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Oxbury_Research
“A devastating crash occurs between 2010 and 2012, which ushers in a thirteen-year bear market into 2022” -Harry Dent Jr. This quote is taken directly from the back of Harry S. Dent Jr.'s bestselling book, The Next Great Bubble Boom . Mr. Dent was a pioneer in the study demographics and their relation to the stock market. Before we dive into certain specifics and reasoning behind what is shaping up to be an ominous prediction, it is important to sift out why this renowned author came to such conclusions in the first place and if anything has changed since the book was published in 2004.

Terminal Stock Market Slipping Away from Investors / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Paul_J_Nolte
The nearer your destination, the more you slip slide away. Another week of weakness in the markets, punctuated by a one day rally (just to keep everyone honest) has put many investors in a rather foul mood. Just when the markets looked as though they had put in a bottom back in November, here we are again at critical point – looking like we will slip slide away toward much lower levels. The talk of the past week centered on the nationalization of the banks, just as the taxpayers took a 36% position in Citigroup, on top of their already dominate position in AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Global Depression as Economies Face Bankruptcy / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Captain_Hook
A Brave New World - Or should I say, one will need be increasingly brave to live in a rapidly changing environment, strewn with perils and pitfalls not contemplated by the masses (mob) just yet. Slowly but surely process is taking hold in this regard however, and it will accelerate and spread like wildfire as the economy continues to contract, and conditions are officially deemed to be in Depression on a global scale. The consumer is pulling back , economies are turning in , and currencies are crumbling just as forecast on these pages many moons ago, where even Switzerland is already showing just how bad it is, which is surprising to many.

Equities Endure Another Bumpy Month End / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
There simply is no respite for long suffering stocks as fears of nationalisation creep closer. The seemingly endless need to drip feed financials more and more public money (Citibank and AIG) and news of slashed dividends at GE (and pared payouts elsewhere) was just too much for the market to take. The Dow Jones finished a horrible week at only 7063. Sorry but it looks like another tough week ahead is in store. Read full article... Read full article...

Another Losing Week for World Stock Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Regent_Markets
It was another losing week for world stock markets, with the banks in the thick of it yet again. The Dow Jones Industrial average continued its losing streak with February closing as the sixth losing month in a row. Friday also marked the lowest closing level for the Dow since May 1997. The week started well in the UK with banks such as Barclays, Lloyds, and RBS outperforming expectations.Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Investor Sentiment: Dumb Money Still Betting on Hope / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Guy_Lerner
The "dumb money" still appears to be holding out hope that the "test" of the November, 2008 lows will pay dividends. Despite the weak price action, these investors are not bearish to any great degree. In fact for the 13th week in a row, the "dumb money" remains neutral and on the wrong side of the trend.

Bank Nationalization and the Total Destruction of Shareholder Investments / Stock-Markets / Nationalization
By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes:
It's a tough time to be a bank shareholder. You're not just worrying about whether the ongoing recession or a further lurch downwards in housing prices is going to decimate the value of your bank's loan portfolio. You're also worrying about whether some government “stress test” or – worse still – nationalization is going to destroy most or all of your investment's remaining value. Read full article...

Super Over Sold Stock Market That Still Refuses to Rally / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Prieur_du_Plessis
Battle-weary investors remained skeptical of a banking quick fix and endured more grim economic fodder during the past week, causing US stocks to hit their lowest level since 1997. After the worst January (-8.8%) on record, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed February (-11.7%) in the third worst position, after 1933 (-15.6%) and 1920 (-12.5%). Read full article...

Stock Market Downward Spiral Continues / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Kingsley_Anderson
So long, November lows. Last week, the news media, always looking for a headline, were quick to point out the Dow Theory Sell Signal that occurred last week. Of course, there were plenty of analysts that came out of the woodwork to proclaim the Dow Jones Industrial and Transportation Averages as irrelevant indexes, and therefore Dow Theory had no great impact on the market. Since then, the DJIA now sits 7 percent below its November low after only a week and the S&P 500 is now below its November low. The Nasdaq is not far behind. It looks like the Dow Theorists may be right. Sadly, there are not many signs pointing to an improving market. Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Valuations, Siegel vs Standard & Poor's / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Valuations
By: Richard_Shaw
(WSJ Feb 25, 2009) “The S&P Gets Its Earnings Wrong, Stocks are cheaper than they look”, by Jeremy J. Siegel
Economist Jeremy Siegel (associated with WisdomTree funds, and professor at Wharton) is an important figure. When the Wall Street Journal published his editorial ( read full article ) claiming that Standard & Poor's had a flawed method that massively overstates the S&P 500 P/E, that became something that can't be ignored. In fact, Siegel said if S&P had calculated index earnings correctly, investors would see that stocks are historically undervalued.

Oversold Stocks Entering Seasonally Strong Time Period / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Mike_Burk
The good news is: The market is deeply oversold as we enter a brief, but strong seasonal period.
Short Term - Most of the major indices had been down for 6 consecutive days through last Monday's low. Tuesday's rally was followed by 3 consecutive down days as of Friday's low. By virtually all breadth measures, the downside has been exhausted.
