Credit Crisis Warning Signs Surging to Market Panic Levels Again / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2010
By: Mike_Larson
Heads up people. Something very big is happening in the global credit markets — something you darn well better pay attention to.
The very same “Credit Crisis” indicators that were flashing red before the stock market meltdown of 2007-2008 — the ones Martin and I used to get our subscribers out of almost all stocks, and “short” the market via inverse ETFs — are flashing red again.

Dr. Marc Faber told investors to buy stocks on March 9, 2009 when S&P reached its low since 1996, and predicted a 20% decline if the index broke a new high.
Now with the S&P down about 13% from that high, Faber talked to Bloomberg on May 24 about his latest call on the markets, economy and what he thinks are the best place to invest now.

BubbleOmics June 2010 Review / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Andrew_Butter
Seeing that events move so fast these days…what with High Frequency Trading and trillion dollar bail-outs being produced like rabbits out of a hat, and more discoveries about more creative ways to “fix” an audit or a credit rating being revealed by the second, I’ve decided to put out forecasts every six months.

By: Donald_W_Dony
After over six weeks of declining markets, models are now suggesting that the correction is over. The retracement of the broad-based NYSE Composite has moved model levels down to where major reversal occur (Chart 1). Market action today strongly indicates the completion of the pullback.

Is the Correction in the S&P Over? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Seven_Days_Ahead
The Macro Trader’s view: Equity markets had enjoyed a solid rally until a couple of weeks ago when the Greek debt crisis morphed into a full blown Euro zone Sovereign debt crisis. The reaction from traders was swift; stocks were dumped and the Dollar rallied hard against the Euro as traders began to fear what some had long said; the Euro zone is such an imperfect creation it cannot survive.

U.S. Stock and Bond Market Total Return vs Price Return / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Richard_Shaw
We read several blogs lately that lamented the lack of total return charts, instead of merely price charts. While total return is less readily available in charting services than price only, there are some indexes that are available in both price return and total return (price + dividends or interest).
This article presents several of those dual charts based on MSCI data and Dow Jones data. The MSCI data came directly from MSCI, and the Dow Jones data and charts came from StockCharts.com

Central Banks Blowing Asset Bubbles / Stock-Markets / Liquidity Bubble
By: Puru_Saxena
BIG PICTURE – Let’s face it; central banks are blowing another asset bubble. As if two burst bubbles in the prior decade are not enough, the money maestros have decided to fuel another speculative orgy.
Let there be no doubt, both the technology and real-estate bubbles were spawned by cheap credit and it is now clear that the central banks have learned nothing from those two episodes. Despite the fact that near-zero interest-rates caused the previous mishaps, the central banks are (once again) pursuing a suicidal monetary policy. By keeping interest-rates well below the rate of inflation, the officials are encouraging speculation, thereby sowing the seeds of yet another asset bubble.

Stock Market Right Shoulder Bounce.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
The one thing that prevented us from shorting the last few days although the action was poor overall, was the very oversold condition of the MACD's on all the major index charts. Just so far compressed down that the market needed to find a way to get those puppies back up. Suddenly, last night we got news from China that they will be backing the European banks for now and there you go. The news the market needed to unwind those oversold oscillators. Amazing how these pieces of news come out just when the market has to have it. Great stuff.

Possible Scenario For Stock Market Rally Technicals and Fundamentals Could Converge / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Chris_Ciovacco
The bearish outlook is well documented with extensive coverage of the problems in Europe and the "dawn of the next credit crisis". We understand and respect the bearish case. We also understand and respect the seriousness of the debt problems in Europe. However, since the market’s longer-term stance remains positive, it is also reasonable to assume the problems of the day may not yet derail the bull market.

Rogue Chinese Whispers Denied As Stocks Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Flip flop on another whiplash Wednesday as US stocks fell late in the day, with the Dow closing below 10,000 for the first time since February, as a (seemingly bogus) report that China may review investments in European government bonds spurred concern the credit crisis will worsen. Microsoft tumbled 4.1% after CEO Steve Ballmer said the effects of the debt crisis will not be isolated to Europe.

Investor Profit and Protection From Chaos and Cartel Interventions, Forecasts 2010 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“The pace and severity of financial crises has taken an ominous turn for the worse. Over the past 30 years, a crisis has occurred, on average, every three years. Yet, now, only 18 months after the meltdown of late 2008, Europe’s sovereign debt crisis has hit with full force. With one crisis seemingly begetting another, and the fuse between crises now getting shorter and shorter, the world economy is on a very treacherous course.”
