Stocks and Commodities About to Go Bust? Questions and Answer / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009

By: Oxbury_Research

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleI am very pleased to announce that we have arrived at the point of maximum confusion. The voices you hear are real, and what they are saying is also being generated by the haze within which we all find ourselves. You'd be best not to pay them any heed.

Your only goal now should be to maintain your sanity, as what happens next is sure to both terrify and surprise. Unfortunately, there's little we can say in advance to help you prepare for the shock and awe of what's imminent. Only stay calm. Keep your head. The impulsive and cocksure will be lost. The deliberate and even-keeled, saved.

Coca Cola (KO) Keeps its Fizz Buy, Sell or Hold / Companies / Investing 2009

By: Money_Morning

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleHoracio Marquez writes: Continuing with the trend of companies that have blasted through Wall Street's earnings estimates of late, The Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO ) last week announced its ninth-straight quarter of double-digit earnings per share (EPS) growth and a third straight year of meeting or exceeding its long-term-growth targets. Excluding one-time items, the Atlanta-based company's earnings per share of 64 cents represented a 10% gain from last year's fourth quarter , beating analysts' expectations by three cents.  In addition, Coke's unit-case volume was up 4% in the fourth quarter and 5% for the full year.

By: Q1_Publishing

Best Financial Markets Analysis Article“When people are frightened, they cut their time horizon dramatically, ... Even advisors will say to sell because they see portfolios crumble and they fear people will have nothing left. It's really not rational, but it does happen.”

That's what David Dreman wrote in his book Contrarian Investment Strategies . Now, almost 30 years later, it's looking like it's happening all over again.

Stock Market Buying Value on the Dips / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009

By: Paul_J_Nolte

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss – we don't get fooled again. Instead of lyrics to a Who song, it could easily be applied to Tim Geithner's unveiling of the new TARP plan. The market reaction is the same as that of previous Treasury chief Paulson. The rolling out of the initial TARP plan saw the markets embark upon a breathtaking dive that culminated with the first market bottom in mid-November. Let's hope that Tuesday's swoon does not follow the same path.

Shareholders Beware! Corporate Rights Issues Could Lose You Money / InvestorEducation / Investing 2009

By: MoneyWeek

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThere's about to be a rush of companies issuing new shares. And it could well be a trap for investors.

Companies use rights issues to try to tap their shareholders for cash by offering them first dibs on new stock offerings, normally at a chunky discount. And some analysts reckon this dash for cash is a harbinger of better times ahead. (More on that bullish view in a minute).

Stock Market Battles Between Bullish and Bearish Signals / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009

By: Prieur_du_Plessis

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticlePeter Schiff (Seeking Alpha): This is just the beginning
“The intense scrutiny recently paid to my investment strategy in the immediate wake of the financial crisis of the last six months has unfortunately obscured the central element of my larger economic forecast. The standard line has been that although I was able to predict the crash, in the form of the housing collapse and the credit crunch, my expected fallout of a weaker dollar and global decoupling has been proven false. However, this assumes that the crash has fully played out. In reality, all we have heard thus far is the overture.

Stock Market Breadth Study Shows Positive Developments and Gold / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009

By: Chris_Ciovacco

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAs outlined in an October 20, 2008 article Stocks Will Bottom Well Before Economy , we should not expect the stock market to wait for the "all clear" signal from an economic perspective before finding a bear market bottom. There is no doubt the economic news will get worse before it gets better. If we expect the technicals or charts to show improvement before the economy gets better, it makes sense to keep an eye on recent technical developments.

By: Richard_Shaw

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAs we think about possible economic recovery, it may be a good idea to watch the prices of certain materials inputs to industry.  Perhaps they will perk up before other parts of the economy farther downstream from raw materials.

Here are weekly, 3-year charts for several basic inputs to industry used to make things and move materials and things around.

From Bailouts to Boondoggles, Betting on a Stock Market ‘B-Wave' Rally / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009

By: Kurt_Kasun

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleDueling Scenarios Revisited - The following commentary is a follow-up to http://www.greenfaucet.com/... First, again I would like to make clear that I do not consider myself a trader or credentialed technician (chartist) and I prefer to focus on the longer term. But, as I stated in the referenced commentary above which I wrote two weeks ago, it appears that one of two patterns is emerging, and depending on which one prevails, it could determine how you should position your portfolio over the next few years.

Stocks Bear Market Rally or New Bull Market? / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009

By: Money_and_Markets

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleNilus Mattive writes: The S&P 500 lost 8.57% last month, which was the worst January on record. Even worse, a January loss for the index has typically meant a full-year loss for the market about 75% of the time.

The big question right now is whether we will see another fall to the lows made back in November. And the bigger question is whether we will go even lower than that.

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleGlory Days? As I write this article on Super Bowl Sunday morning, I am looking forward to both the football game and the half-time show by Bruce Springsteen. When I think of the Boss - Bruce Springsteen, I always think of his classic song called Glory Days .

Perhaps Glory Days should replace the Star Spangled Banner as our national anthem. Old Uncle Sam could reminisce about his glory days . Such as the days when our country did not have Treasury secretaries from Goldman Sachs or not have a system-gaming, new Treasury secretary appoint a Goldman Sachs lobbyist as his top aide.

It remains near record highs in British pounds, Euros (03-Feb-09 London AM Fix: $902.00, £636.02, €702.93 ) and many other currencies internationally as fiat currencies internationally come under pressure due to the unprecedented zero percent interest rates, quantitative easing, bailouts and stimulus packages.

Fixed-Income Investing: Safer Alternative to Equity Indexed Annuities / Interest-Rates / Investing 2009

By: Money_Morning

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleKeith Fitz-Gerald writes: For many investors, the concept of an equity indexed annuity (EIA for short) - which establishes a guaranteed minimum rate of return, and the ability to capture the upside of the next bull market with no risk of loss - is proving irresistible. That's especially true at a time when the Standard & Poor's 500 Index is still down nearly 45% from its 2007 high of 157.52 and new U.S. President Barack Obama's stimulus plan has yet to be finalized.

Stock Market Performance at the Mercy of Grim Corporate and Economic Data / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009

By: Prieur_du_Plessis

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAn avalanche of worse-than-expected economic and earnings data again put pressure on Wall Street during the past month, resulting in four straight down-weeks and the worst performance of the major US indices for January on record.

“As January goes, so goes the year” is one of the most frequently quoted sayings about seasonal trends in the stock market. With the Dow Jones Industrial Index down by 8.8% and the S&P 500 Index 8.6% lower, the year is not off to a promising start.

Trivial Corporate Earnings, Not-So-Trivial Investor Buying / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009

By: Oxbury_Research

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleOn Wednesday, after the markets closed, as well as Thursday before the open, the distinct majority of earnings surprises were positive. So, why on Earth did the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P close down between 2.7% and 3.3%?

Because what is happening is exactly what I said was happening. Earnings and non-catastrophic news alone are not going to budge the market. The only event that will push or pull prices is the will of investors.
