Stock Market Huge Up-Session, although Nasdaq Trails / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a huge up-day today, gapping up big time at the opening, pulling back slightly early on, and then reaching the session highs on the Nasdaq 100 early in the morning. After that they moved sideways, just slightly lower on the NDX and slightly higher on the S&P 500. Late in the day the SPX surged to new highs, but the NDX failed to confirm, possibly setting up a negative divergence, but we'll see if there's any follow-through on the NDX to confirm tomorrow.

Inflationary Thursday - Benny Drops the Big One! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).
That was the actual military policy of the United States of America and the rest of the World for about 30 years. We had Presidents and Kings and thousands of bureaucrats - the top minds of 2 generations - all getting together on a regular basis and coming up with or buying into insanity like the system on the right. We look back at it now and say "Gee, what were we thinking" but the whole World went down this path for a while.

Politics and Secular Stocks Bull/Bear Markets, The Fourth Turning Crisis / Stock-Markets / Cycles Analysis
By: Tony_Caldaro
With the 2010 elections now history, Republicans regaining control in the House, the public is now optimistic again that change will take place. They are likely to be correct. However, the change may be from the Democratic - just pass the bills don’t read them – agenda, to a Stalemate - just vote against the bills don’t read them – agenda. Historically, this has been good for the equities market and the economy overall.

Stock and Commodity Market's Bullish Reaction to QE2 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Ciovacco
One day does not make a trend, but sometimes early leadership after an event like the November 3rd QE2 announcement holds for the next leg up in asset prices. The early read after the first hour and forty-five minutes in the new QE2 world is bullish. With markets extended and sentiment getting a little on the giddy side, a correction could come at anytime. Given what we know as of the November 3rd close, the odds favor risk assets making higher highs before we turn the page on 2010. If a correction comes, it should represent a buying opportunity. Early leaders include the NASDAQ (QQQQ) and emerging market stocks (EEM).

Stock Market Continues to March Higher After Election / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Chris_Vermeulen
With the election over and congress divided, it may be difficult for the president to get much done. None of this will take affect until the near year but traders are asking the big question… Will the government work together as a team or will it be a stalemate?

Investors Find Solace in Emerging Market Stocks Amid U.S. Economic Turmoil / Stock-Markets / Emerging Markets
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: Maybe you've noticed that many of the stocks rising through the ranks of the broader market lately have a foreign accent.
The Claymore/AlphaShares China Small Cap exchange-traded fund (ETF) (NYSE: HAO), MV MarketVectors Indonesia Index ETF (IDX), and the PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt ETF (NYSE: PCY) are just a few of the ETFs I've recommended in the past that are leading the market higher.

Republican Midterm Election Victories Could Sink Stocks and Bonds / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Shah Gilani writes: Markets have rallied on the belief that resounding Republican victories in yesterday's (Tuesday's) midterm elections will reset Washington agendas and lead to more business-friendly policies.
However, market participants may be surprised to find that the successful pursuit of three major Republican principles could initially sink stocks and bonds before creating a base from which they might rally later in 2011.

Stock Market Indices Rally After Post-FOMC Dip to Close Higher / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a down morning and then vacillated wildly after the FOMC announcement. This included a sharp dip down to 2132 on the Nasdaq 100, reaching trend line and moving average support, and a dip near 1184 on the S&P 500, also testing trend line and moving average support. But when that held the indices ripped to the upside, swinging around from 2132 to 2160 on the NDX and from 1184 to 1198 on the SPX. They backed off in the last hour, but came on again in the last 15 minutes to close up on the day.

Ben Bernanke Trying To Inflate The Stock Market.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
sent that message loud and clear today. He wants the bond market to die. He wants the dollar to die, and he wants the stock market to rise in an effort to keep the economy on the road to recovery. Without a dead dollar and without a strong bond market, money won't rotate in to equities. If money rolls in to equities then the stock market climbs giving people more money to throw back in to the economy. A simple equation really, and he's working hard to make it all come true. He will flood cash in to the system. He said he'll do whatever it takes to keep our economy humming along.

Republicans Take the House and QE Too! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
By Now, like many Americans, the Democrats know what it's like to lose their House.
Back in the mid-1800's, the nation had another kind of Tea Party as the Whigs became a successful 3rd party, even going so far as to put two men in the White House - William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor plus Millard Fillmore, who succeeded "Old Rough and Ready" who died just after a year in office but that was a long term compared to Harrison, who caught pneumonia making a long inauguration speech in the freezing rain and died of it a month later despite attempts to cure him with opium, castor oil and leeches - treatments we are likely to see again as the Republicans vow to repeal Health Care legislation.

Gold and SP500 Bull Markets Continue To Leave Investors Behind / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: David_Banister
In my recent forecast updates for my subscribers and also in my free articles online, I have expounded on the virtues of Elliott Wave Theory, which I use as my linchpin for my short and long term views. To wit, back in August 2009 I made it clear that we would enter a five year period of a massive move up in both Gold and Gold Stocks. Gold was $900 an ounce at the time, and is now at $1360 an ounce. I made that forecast based on human behavioral patterns that go back centuries.

By: EWI
Rumors are, the U.S. government "is propping up the stock market."
'By far, the most frequent question we've been asked recently at EWI's Message Board is this: "What is your take on the persistent internet chatter that the Federal Reserve is holding up the stock market via QE2, POMO, etc.? How can stocks ever decline again if the Fed is in control?" Here is an eye-opening chart that will help shed more light on this issue. Read more.

Sentiment Indicators Signaling a Major Stock Market Top / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Claus_Vogt
The S&P 500 index is nearly back to its April high. In the bigger picture the market can be seen as tracing out a major topping formation lasting nearly one year. Valuations are historically high, and macroeconomic leading indicators are showing a considerable recession risk.
Additionally, liquidity indicators like money supply and credit growth have deteriorated markedly for many months. To me this market looks ready for its next major cyclical bear market move.

Possible Stock Market Scenarios for Fed Intervention Day / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Steven_Vincent
In last week's BullBear Weekend Report I called for some profit taking and indicated that the market was likely set up for a pullback. This week the market continued to trade in a sideways pattern while the technical conditions suggestive of a correction deepened. As we go into the mid-term election and the November FOMC meeting, my long term stance continues to be bullish but my short and intermediate term stance is neutral.

Stock Market Rally is Tired... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
Aren't we all! The market is. Doesn't mean it can't continue to try to grind higher even though it's ready for some deeper selling, if that catalyst would just make an appearance. The ISM Report today had that chance, however, it showed more expansion than any thought possible. We had some early reports on what to expect when the voting is over on Wednesday. It shows the market will be getting what it wants. No catalyst there. Only catalyst here is the overbought and tired nature of the market, especially the Nasdaq stocks. It wants more to rock this thing down.
