Stock Market Indexes Are Winding Up for a Fast Ball / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
I finally have internet service and can communicate to you. We had a violent storm pass through early this morning. I did not know the extent of the damage until I discovered my broadband service was out and the roads were blocked by downed trees. Fortunately, we are on a high priority electricity grid, so power was back on by sunrise.

Trump Trade Will Break in 2017 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2017
By: Adam_ODell
The first half of 2017 is over… and, boy, was it one for the history books!American politics dominated the global discussion, as speculation ran rampant over who would emerge as the winners and losers of a Trump presidency.
Surprisingly (or not!)… the media’s storylines have likely led naïve investors into some of the worst-performing investments so far this year.
Essentially, everything that was up “huuuuge” from Election Day through year end… is now lagging behind. And everything that struggled to digest the reality of Trump’s win… is now leading the pack.

Don’t Listen To the Daily News When It Comes To Investments / Stock-Markets / Mainstream Media
By: Harry_Dent
The hot topic in politics of late is “fake news”… like the media is the villain.Sometimes they are. MSNBC obviously has a clear leaning towards the left, and Fox towards the right. That’s why I prefer to watch some CNN.
But I think the media generally does a good job of trying to find the truth, even if from a biased side. They ask hard questions and uncover scandals. A free press has always been a cornerstone of democracy, and should be allowed to do its job.

A Crash is Coming.... Last Time This Happened Was Spring 2008 / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Graham_Summers
Perhaps the single most accurate predictor of the economy has rolled over into recession territory.
I’m talking about tax revenues.
GDP growth, unemployment data, ISM surveys… all of these can and are massaged by statisticians to create a rosier picture of the economy than reality. By way of example, we recently noted that 95% of all net job growth since 2008 was in fact created via an accounting gimmick. In reality, the jobs were never created at all.

Stock Market Post-holiday Hangover? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
The bank-heavy Dow made a new all-time high on July 3 in light trading. It was aided and abetted by its largest holding, Goldman Sachs, up 2.42%.
This high may be called an “echo Cycle” since June 29 is exactly 8.6 years from the bottom of Wave 3 of (C) on November 21, 2008. I have seen this before in gold and crude, where we have witnessed “double tops.”

Wall Street Is Now Ruled By Physics PhDs, Not Traders / Stock-Markets / HFT
By: John_Mauldin
BY JARED DILLIAN : One of the reasons I am where I am today is because I did not study hard in school.
I was barely in the top 10 percent of my high school class. I probably could have been number one, but I was too busy screwing around.
I intentionally failed physics my senior year because I didn’t like the teacher.

Kuwait Stock Exchange Index (KWSE): Watch out below! / Stock-Markets / Middle East
By: MarketsToday
The Kuwait Stock Exchange Index (KWSE) is sitting on the edge of a cliff. We may soon see a decisive reversal of the uptrend begun from the January 2016 low. Following the January 2016 low the KWSE advanced as much as 44.4 per cent as of the 7,091.46 peak reached in early-April. That high completed a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the long-term downtrend.
During the rally the index moved well above the pivotal 40-week exponential moving average (ema), and as of January broke out above the long-term downtrend line. This is all bullish behavior for the long-term.

Stock Markets Hyper Risky / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Zeal_LLC
The US stock markets have enjoyed an extraordinary surge this year, shattering all kinds of records. It’s been fueled by hopes for big tax cuts soon from Trump’s Republican government. But such relentless rallying has catapulted complacency, euphoria, and valuations to dangerous bull-slaying extremes. This has left today’s beloved and lofty stock markets hyper-risky, with mounting potential for serious selloffs erupting.
History extensively proves that stock markets are forever cyclical, no trend lasts forever. Great bulls and bears alike eventually run their courses and give up their ghosts. Sooner or later every secular trend yields to extreme sentiment peaking, then the markets inevitably reverse. Popular greed late in bulls, and fear late in bears, ultimately hits unsustainable climaxes. All near-term buyers or sellers are sucked in, killing the trend.
