Stocks, Gold, and Oil Crude Remain Range Bound / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: J_W_Jones
Pre-Market trading on Friday morning was wild as the S&P 500 did not react well to the latest jobs report. Sellers stepped in and pushed down the e-mini contract by over 10 points in less than 15 minutes which is a pretty drastic move. It is critical to note that before the jobs announcement, the S&P 500 had put in a new high in the pre-market drawing in bulls and leaving many of them trapped. Today's price action will be interesting as Fridays are usually pretty quiet.

Investor Profit Lessons from The Ongoing Europe, USA Debt Crises / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“The money struggle is the struggle against totalitarianism”
“It may be a bit hypocritical for an American to wonder why Europeans are giving up their democracy, their countries, their money, and their very lives to an unelected, overweening, bank-controlled bureaucracy. After all, that already has happened in the United States. But at least there are powerful stirrings against the new European totalitarianism, perhaps best articulated today by Nigel Farage, a member of the European Parliament from southeast England and leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party.

Euro, USD, Gold and Stock Index Analysis / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Bari_Baig
The Good Days: From the get go, today seemed like a good day. A day, when most things fall in place almost perfectly and should I emphasis without much effort. Same could be said about the investment world. Regardless of the media’s hype about EU debt crisis or the Wiki Leaks which surely aren’t investment world’s secret “cables”, even the global markets are breathing a sigh of relief and optimism as even the BEARs amongst us know, a Bull market is just more fun!

Stocks S&P 500, Gold, Crude Oil and the Banks Trend Trading Forecasts / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: J_W_Jones
Sellers were in control most of the trading session on Tuesday, however an overnight buying surge pushed the S&P 500 back up to overhead resistance as the directional battle raged on between the bulls and the bears. For over a week we have had relatively choppy trading as the S&P 500 has remained in a tight range between the 20 and 50 period moving averages. By the open Wednesday, the U.S. financial markets demonstrated their resiliency yet again. It is critical to note that we received our first and second official tests of the 50 period moving average on the S&P 500 daily chart.

Gold, Dollar and Stock Markets Decoupling! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Anthony_J_Stills
I’ve received a number of e-mails over the last week asking me, better yet warning me about decoupling. The principal culprits are gold and the Dow as well as gold and the dollar. Bloomberg and CNBC go on and on about gold moving inversely to the dollar and everybody listens to them as if it were gospel. What they don’t know is that these TV experts are years behind the curve. There is no doubt that gold is rising in terms of every major currency in the world, but what is less known is that it rallies with or against the dollar. With respect to the supposed link between gold and the US dollar I want you to focus your attention on these two charts. First let’s look at an eleven month daily chart for gold:

Investors Drawn to China Like Moths to a Flame / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
"Investors are drawn to China like moths to a flame." – Neil Woodford
That’s a great quote. Neil is the head of investments at Invesco, running the UK’s largest investment fund with a decade of 15% average returns under his belt so let’s take the man seriously for starters. Mr Woodford’s concerns coincide with figures showing that food prices in China were 10.1pc higher in October than in the same month last year – a level of inflation not seen since mid-2007. This is deepening concern that China’s economy is now starting to overheat.

Stock, Bond and Silver Year-End Targets To Watch / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Larry_Edelson
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and weekend! But now I want to turn our attention back to the markets. Judging by the positive response to last Monday’s column, I want to give you more year-end signals to watch for key markets.
Remember, this is the first time ever that I’ve released such signals. They are based on a proprietary trading model I developed in the early 1980s, and are a unique combination of cyclical and technical analysis.

Market Concerns Over Euro-Zone Bailout, Smart Money Preparing to Sell Stocks Hard / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
(ZeroHedge) Despite its illiquidity, The FX market has been the first and earliest indicator of how the market is taking the Irish bailout. So far it has been a complete abortion, and after opening in the mid 1.33 in the interbank market, the EURUSD has just touched on 1.3196, and is about to take out Friday support. The vigilantes refuse to go away. In addition to LCH margin hikes on Portugal and Spanish bonds tomorrow which now appears inevitable, we continue to expect that FX margin requirements will be hiked over the next few days across the board. Lastly, expect to hear rumors of secret service chasing any and all bond shorts/CDS longs. The war for the Eurozone's survival is now on in earnest.

Gold & U.S. Dollar Rise Together? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The past week and a half has been as choppy as it gets for the stocks market. Thankfully the herd mentality (fear & greed) stays the same. Understanding what others think and feel when involved in the market is one of the keys to making money consistently from the market. The crazy looking chart below I will admit is a little tough on the eyes, and I should have used red and green for holiday colors but green just was not going to work today so bear with me J.

Stock Market S&P500, Gold, Crude Oil and Banking Stocks Trading Patterns / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: J_W_Jones
Stocks were back on sale Tuesday when the S&P 500 suffered more than a 1.40% decline by the closing bell. Some market prognosticators pointed their fingers at the dollar, other pointed at the Korean situation, and still others had their eyes fixed on Ireland and the Eurozone as potential causes for the sharp selloff. The S&P 500 is currently oversold on the short term chart and either a bounce or period of consolidation is likely. At this point, chasing stocks in either direction will only satisfy the desires of the smart money, who will likely blow these anticipatory traders into trading fodder in coming weeks.

The Commodities and Equities Circus / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Bari_Baig
The Mystery of Yellow Metal: We’d be very much interested in seeing how Gold trades today. Yesterday the Korean peninsula put a bid in Gold just as it put a bid in Green back and Yen and we had no option but to term Gold as safe haven almost of the caliber of a Reserve instrument. Why, we are interested is to find out whether Gold is better than even a reserve instrument! It enjoyed a perfect rally yesterday but as we expect weakness in Green back today would it then switch sides and conform to inverse correlation as commodities move opposite to Green back.
