Stock Market Last Day Selling..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
We finally saw the market pull back some late today as those high RSI readings kicked in. It wasn't the type of selling that says the market is doomed from here because that's not likely the case at all. When markets get overbought they need to unwind so you have to look at the selling that takes place more as an opportunity rather than a it's all over for the market type of situation. Selling is never fun if you have a long bias and it doesn't take very much selling to kick fear in pretty hard. Again, greed is easy. Fear is a tough son of a gun. With the late day selling we saw some of the 60-minute charts do quite a bit of unwinding although by no means should that selling be totally over. We can try to grind higher again but upside will be very tough indeed for the very short-term.

Beige Colored Slow U.S. Economic Recovery / Economics / Economic Recovery
By: Pravda
The US economy continues to make a slow recovery. The blizzards and unusually low temperatures that hit several regions in February hurt several areas, the Federal Reserve said in a Beige Book report last week.

Eurozone Governments Blame Greek Debt Crisis on Speculators Instead of Looking in the Mirror / Politics / Euro-Zone
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The heads of Germany, France and Greece are continuing to highly vocally blame financial speculators for Greece's debt financing woes. This clearly amounts to political propaganda in an attempt to ms-direct the eyes of their electorate away from those culpable in bringing the crisis about against rising debt financing and insurance costs which is a SYMPTOM of the crisis and not its cause.

Bifurcation of American Society Continues at Pace; Nearly Half Have Less than $10K for Retirement, / Politics / US Politics
By: Trader_Mark
A Quarter Less than $1K, but Millionaires Rebound Smartly
I won't get into all the dogmatic arguments that surround the massive income disparity in the US, we've discussed them in many other pieces. (frankly I think wealth disparity - rewarding generations for nothing more than having the right genes - is a much larger problem the income disparity) We must however understand "it is what it is" and Wall Street has entire thesis (plural?) built around it [Sep 7, 2009: Citigroup - America; A Modern Day Plutonomy]

U.S. Addicted to Oil, An Ominous Drilling Sign for the Truth / Politics / Conspiracy Theory
By: Robert_Singer
The year is 2010 and to anyone not in denial, the industrialized nations have entered the greatest calamity the world has ever known:
- 35 Million Americans on Food Stamps: 12 Percent of U.S. Population on Food Stamps Highest Since Records Kept in 1969, and that’s before the Obama administration announced a planned three-year budget freeze on government discretionary spending. (My Budget 360)

Unlocking the Jobs Dilemma / Economics / Employment
By: John_Browne
Productive, private-sector jobs - the lifeblood of a sound economy - are under assault by politicians in the United States and Western Europe, who have unwittingly taken a number of steps that make future job losses a foregone conclusion.

U.S. Election 2010, Republican Power Bubble / Politics / US Politics
By: Stephen_Merrill
Forgetful of their own blown reputation, the more warfare end of the Republicrat Party is celebrating its looming ascendancy from this year’s federal elections. Nothing has changed in America's two-party politics, from the Republican point of view, despite the ongoing economic disaster. Republicans are going to crush Democrats in November no matter what because America’s economy continues to crumble under Obama’s rule just as it did under George Bush’s rule.

Gold: Best Supporting Role In Economic Downturns? Think Again
As I sat down to watch the Oscar pre-show on Sunday night, March 7, one word was repeatedly used to describe the celebrity starlets and their designer duds: GOLD. Gold bustiers and gold lame skirts, shiny gun-metal dresses and glittery sequined gowns all basking in the golden shadow of the final golden statue.

The European Union Debt Deflation Trap / Economics / Deflation
By: John_Mauldin
"The underlying principle flows from the financial balance approach: the domestic private sector and the government sector cannot both deleverage at the same time unless a trade surplus can be achieved and sustained. Yet the whole world cannot run a trade surplus. More specific to the current predicament, we remain hard pressed to identify which nations or regions of the remainder of the world are prepared to become consistently larger net importers of Europe's tradable products. Countries currently running large trade surpluses view these as hard won and well deserved gains.

Entropy, Why the World as We Know It Is Dying / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: David_Galland
By David Galland, Managing Editor, The Casey Report
The concept of entropy is one of the most useful terms for understanding just about everything. While it has its origins in natural law – thermodynamics, specifically – the concept holds true pretty much across all closed systems.

Constructive Signs for Ultra Oil & Gas ProShares ETF DIG / Companies / Oil Companies
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The Ultra Oil & Gas ProShares ETF (NYSE: DIG) popped above key Feb-Mar resistance at 34.40/50 to a recovery high at 35.05, after which it revisited the breakout level into this morning’s low at 34.25. This morning’s upside pivot reversal from 34.25 has propelled the DIG to a higher recovery high at 35.10 so far. The fact that the price structure is holding above the breakout plateau (34.25) within a larger base-like pattern that projects to 37.50 next is a very constructive sign. At this juncture, only a decline that breaks 34.25 will begin to compromise the developing bullish scenario.

U.S. Treasury Bonds, It's All The Same Trade! / Interest-Rates / US Bonds
By: Guy_Lerner
One of the frustrating aspects about this market environment is that all assets look like the same trade. Betting on equities is a bet against bonds or vice a versa, betting on bonds is a bet against equities. It is that simple. Consequently, using a tactical asset allocation strategy makes it hard to diversify away my risk as I end up being all in on essentially what has become the same trade.
