United States Sinking Economy as Deficits Soar / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Are we rearranging the deck chairs on a sinking ship? - President Barack Obama forecast the biggest U.S. deficit since World War Two in a budget on Thursday that urges a costly overhaul of the healthcare system and would spend billions to arrest the economy's freefall. An eye-popping $1.75 trillion deficit for the 2009 fiscal year underlined the heavy blow the deep recession has dealt to the country's finances as Obama unveiled his first budget. That is the highest ever in dollar terms, and amounts to a 12.3 percent share of the economy -- the largest since 1945. In 2010, the deficit would dip to a still-huge $1.17 trillion, Obama predicted.

Obamalus To Hurt Corporate Earnings, CNBC Willful Ignorance Continues? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
The early market buoyancy yesterday was erased and indices faded badly to finish in the red on fears that the Obamalus would crimp future earnings of heath care and drugs companies. The plan contains provisions to clip Medicare payments to insurance companies and hospitals plus there are provisions to allow consumers to buy cheaper drugs from abroad. Stocks are headed for their worst month since last October. Read full article... Read full article...

By: Hans_Wagner
Quick question. Is the current S&P 500 PE ratio trending down or up? If you are like most investors, you believe the S&P 500 PE ratio is trending down as the stock market plunges. After all, the P part of the ratio is dropping. Read full article... Read full article...

Bullish Pattern for Semiconductors SMH ETF / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
All of the action from October 2009 to the present represents a developing large base pattern prior to a potent upmove, or it represents a sideways congestion period ahead of another major downleg within the dominant bear trend. That said, however, my near-term work indicates that regardless of the outcome of the sideways pattern, the Semiconductor HLDRs ETF (NYSE: SMH) should be in the midst of a loop up to 18.00 and possibly 18.60 in any case. At this juncture, from a big picture perspective, only a smash beneath the 2/24 low at 15.82 will invalidate the current rally scenario.Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Sectors Worth Watching: Food, Gold and Healthcare… / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Oxbury_Research
In a bear market, we're always keen to spot anything that's outperforming its peers. Even the strongest stocks and sectors can get beaten down when panic selling or forced selling wreaks havoc on prices. It's a bit like boxing: even the toughest boxer can get rocked with a hard swing to the jaw. What sets apart the truly tough boxers is their ability to bounce right back up and continue the fight.

Stock Markets to Recover as Gold Bull takes a Breather / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
My previous editorial showed the super-bullish intermediate term (12 to 18 month) outlook for Gold. My technical work called for a correction that would lead to a massive surge beyond $1,000 and to $2,000. It now appears that the gold correction is here. More importantly, the near term peak in Gold is coinciding with what will be the first major tradeable rally in stocks during this historic bear market. Read full article... Read full article...

Credit Default Swaps: How Fleas Kill A Dog / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: David_Haas
I‘ve been on the lookout for an article with a concise description of the ongoing saga of the Credit Default Swaps (CDS) markets to pass along to readers and I have found a nice, simple one on the Guardian UK website. This article is written at a level any newbie can understand yet provides current news any veteran would appreciate. As a bonus, it conveys, once again, the scale of the debt bubble the world economy is trying to swallow which is now widely recognized as massive. Read full article... Read full article...

Late Session Dive Sends Stocks Indices Lower / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Harry_Boxer
The markets were quite volatile swinging down and then back up again and getting hit at the end of the day to close mostly lower on the session. The day started out with a gap down, and then we had a 5-wave decline that took us to the lows for the session around an hour after the opening. They bounced back, failed at resistance, and then retested, but that was successful. When that occurred the indices started an afternoon rally that was interrupted mid-way with a sharp set-back, with the set-back holding intraday moving averages.Read full article...

Nasdaq Q's Recovery Rally Incomplete / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
My near-term work in the PowerShares QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQQ) argues that the recovery rally that started at Monday's low of 27.73 and which extended yesterday to a high at 28.98 is only partially complete. After the current "intervening" pullback runs its course, the Q's should pivot to the upside for a test of yesterday's high -- on the way to 29.10/30 thereafter. Only a plunge that breaks and sustains beneath Monday's low at 27.73 will wreck my near-term scenario.Read full article... Read full article...

Stocks Bear Market Uncanny Parallels to 1929 Crash / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: MoneyWeek
The stock market crash of 2008 played out like 1929 almost to the day. In fact the pattern was so uncannily close, that I became convinced the post-crash rebound would do the same and we would see a similar spring bounce. Read full article... Read full article...

Dow Lags S&P on Stock Market Turnaround Tuesday / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Kingsley_Anderson
Turnaround Tuesday indeed! In all seriousness, if you have followed the market over the last few months, big percentage gains such as we saw today have become the norm. Remember that most huge, rip-your-face-off rallies do in fact occur in bear markets. So the bottom line is, don’t get too excited.Read full article... Read full article...

The Euro – Are There Any Hard Currencies Left? / Stock-Markets / Fiat Currency
By: Axel_Merk
With gold reaching $1,000 an ounce and posting new highs versus all currencies, are there any hard currencies left? Over the past 100 years, we have moved further and further away from the gold standard. We see no indication for that trend to reverse; if anything, it may accelerate. As a result, we have cautioned long before this credit crisis erupted that there is no such thing as a safe asset anymore; investors may want to take a diversified approach to something as mundane as cash. This lack of confidence in cash goes beyond “cash equivalents” such as money market funds, commercial paper, auction rate securities, to currencies themselves. We all rely on cash for liquidity, but are concerned about purchasing power. Read full article... Read full article...

Dow Jones Stock Market Index Forecast 2009 - Update1 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Nadeem_Walayat
This analysis seeks to update the forecast of 20th January 2009 for the Dow Jones stocks index in the light of subsequent volatile price action.
The 2009 forecast is ( Dow Jones Forecast 2009 - 20th Jan 2009) - In Summary , I do not know at precisely what price level the Dow will make a low during 2009, my best estimate at this time is 6,600, but I am expecting that it will mark the start of a multi-year bull market that will eventually make 2008-2009's price action appear as a mere minor blip, much as the 1987 crash appears on today's price charts.
