Trump Delirium Triggers Stock Market Brexit Upwards Crash Towards Dow 20,000! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Nadeem_Walayat
There were two consensus views heading into the US Presidential Election count night. Firstly that Hillary Clinton would win the election, after all Nate Silver had her penned at a 71% probability whilst the New York Times was touting 85% and so were the betting markets discounting a Hillary win with Trump trading on Betfair at 6.6 whilst Hillary stood at just 1.17 an hour before the polls closed. Then there were Hillary's wall street backers who had all but discounted their candidate winning.

So Much For America Electing A Wall Street Outsider / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: John_Rubino
During his run for the presidency, Donald Trump took the occasional break from insulting women and minorities to toss off some decent – even exciting – policy ideas. Term limits for congressmen and a ban on politicians becoming lobbyists, for instance, were straight from the Libertarian good-government Christmas list.
But best of all was the effective break-up of the big banks through the re-imposition of Glass-Steagall, a law passed during the Great Depression to separate taxpayer-protected commercial banks from free-to-fail investment banks.

Basing Just Under The Breakout... Stock Market Bubble Continues... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
he market is getting closer and close to that 2194 breakout the bulls have been waiting for since the double top in August. The market has been meandering around offering hope to the bears from time to time, but that hope gets squashed quickly. Every time we get a move lower that looks to head lower still the bulls find a way, no matter the news, to fire the market back up.

Stock Market SPX Trendline Reversal? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
It appears that the SPX reversed at the Diagonal trendline in the first hour of the day. The initial impulse may go as low as 2171.00 to 2175.00 before a bounce. If it follows Cycles timing guidelines, we may see the top of the bounce between 2:00 and 3:00 pm.
Using that bounce to go short would be a highly aggressive play, so you may consider only a partial position.

Investment Survivor / Stock-Markets / Investing 2017
By: David_Galland
Dear Parader,
My favorite reality TV show, Survivor, was created by the energetic and entirely self-made Mark Burnett.
A British expat with zero experience in show business, Burnett managed to go from selling T-shirts on a rented fence in Venice Beach, California, to heading up MGM Television.
I’m not alone in enjoying Survivor, as it ranks as the #1 summer TV show of all time.

The Numbers Look Great—As They Always Do Before a Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Crash
By: John_Mauldin
It’s quarterly report time for US stocks. If you just casually glance at the earnings news, you might think companies are having a great year. Many are beating expectations and reporting impressive revenues and profits.
The markets reward companies for meeting expectations (as we shall see below). But the reality is that the S&P 500 is on track for a sixth straight drop in year-over-year earnings.

By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a solid day today.

Although the S&P 500 couldn’t, they still ended the day in the positive column.

Mixed Day for Stock Market Indices / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a mixed session today, but the Nasdaq 100 came back strong with the blue chips backing off to close mixed on the day.
The day started out with a pop to the upside in a 5-wave mini advance on Nasdaq 100. The S&P 500 bounced and came down in a falling wedge, so there were two different patterns. Both the Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500 settled into a consolidation, and at the end of the day tried to rally, but couldn’t get through resistance, and backed off into the close.

By: Darryl_R_Schoon
President-elect Donald Trump’s White House victory was a surprise, and so is the ripping sell-off in global bond markets, which has quickly driven US interest rates to the highest levels in a year. The rout has wiped out an estimated $1 trillion from global bond markets

Stock Market is destined to soar higher: Masses are not bullish, / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Sol_Palha
and $50 trillion is sitting on the sidelines
Men are afraid to rock the boat in which they hope to drift safely through life's currents, when, actually, the boat is stuck on a sandbar. They would be better off to rock the boat and try to shake it loose, or, better still, jump in the water and swim for the shore. Thomas Szasz

A Good Day for Wall Street / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market had a terrific Tuesday as the indices forged ahead, adding to the recent gains. The day started out with gap ups and a strong, early-morning move, reaching the morning highs within the first half hour. In a 3-wave pullback move toward lunch hour, they retested the highs, held well, and moved up steadily all afternoon. Late in the session the Nasdaq 100 had a small pullback, because they had a big recovery earlier, but the S&P 500 closed near the highs for the day.

This Is What a Market Mania Looks Like / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: The_Gold_Report
The Trump election has ignited a market mania, but in economic terms, nothing real has changed and the relief probably won't last long, posit Rudi Fronk and Jim Anthony, cofounders of Seabridge Gold.
The Trump election has ignited a market mania, to everyone's surprise. Our sense is that it reflects an enormous relief that the Obama years of deadlock and do-nothing have finally ended. It's how you would feel if, after eight years, someone finally stopped hitting you with a hammer; you would probably feel pretty good. But in economic terms, nothing real has changed and the relief probably won't last long.
