Stock Market Easy Times Gone...Tough Times Here... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
How nice it was to nail that bull market run off the February lows and ride it all the way up. Although it felt bad nearing the end of the run up in terms of buying in to overbought, we did, and things went very well. Easy times. Parabolic move higher. It was all fun. Then came 37.3% more bulls than bears. That level of sentiment started to smoke this market earlier this week and hasn't stopped. We're now 6% off the S&P 500 1220 highs. Seem like enough? It just about better be for the bears, but more on that later.

Investing in Russia, Doug Casey on the Russian Bear BRIC / Stock-Markets / Russia
By: Casey_Research
(Interviewed by Louis James, Conversation with Casey)
L: Doug, I'm in Belarus this week, a pit stop to help some of my students with their various business ideas. I'm struggling with my Russian, but getting along. And that has me thinking about Russia's role on the global economic stage. I know this is something you've given some thought to... What do you think? Is Putin out to take over the world? What do investors need to keep in mind?

Stock Markets Shudder On Club Med Debt Woes / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
In a scary day’s trading with liquidity basically gone from Eurozone bond markets, equity markets finally woke up and took note and more than $1.1 trillion was wiped from the value of global stocks. Growing expectations that the €110 billion rescue package for Greece will need to be extended to Spain and Portugal was the cause. This was despite positive US home sales and factory orders data.

Bull Market or Bubble? How to Spot the Difference / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Paul_Mladjenovic
To build wealth (or to avoid losing it), it is obviously important to discern where to put your money and where NOT to put it. That discernment is greatly tied to understanding which securities or assets will have are experiencing bullish or bearish conditions. In recent years many investors were fooled into thinking that a particular asset class was in a bull market when in actuality it was a in a “bubble”, which is the precursor to a bearish decline.

Stock Market Wednesday Worries, Greece Closed and Japan On the Edge of Collapse / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
Lord Blankfein, the peasants are revolting! Lloyd: "I know, they stink on ice."
Greek air-traffic controllers and teachers walked off their jobs and shopkeepers shuttered their stores to challenge Prime Minister George Papandreou’s latest decision to cut wages and pensions and raise taxes in return for a 110 billion-euro ($143 billion) rescue package. Protesters trying to gain access to the parliament building clashed with helmeted and padded riot police and threw sticks and stones and chanted slogans when they were repulsed. Police, who said 18,000 people are participating in the marches, shot tear gas at other protesters who lobbed rocks and set trashcans on fire at the central bank building near the parliament.

The S&P 500 went south and we cashed in our chips / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: INO
For some time now we have been concerned about the lack of upside momentum and the divergences that have been building in many key oscillators. We were also concerned that we'd reached a very important Fibonacci level which we pointed out in a recent video.

We Pulled the Dow Sell Trigger, Stock Market Downside Targets / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: INO
We pulled the trigger on the Dow
We have been concerned for some time that the market was in a rotational phase and that some key levels were being tested on the upside. The action today, Tuesday, can only be viewed one way, and that is negative. We do not expect this market to make a miraculous recovery to new highs and would not be surprised if we have seen the highs for the year.

How to Protect Your Wealth from the Greek Debt Crisis Calamity / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Claus_Vogt
The Greek government is bankrupt. Simply put: It has systematically spent much more than it could afford. Now the inevitable day of reckoning has arrived.
A 110-billion euro bailout package by other European governments and the IMF has been announced. But can this political rescue solve Greece’s underlying problems?

Stock Market Huge Turnaround Tuesday / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a significant turnaround Tuesday down session and plunged from the get-go with a big gap to the downside.

Brazilian Bovespa and EWZ Stock Market Analysis / Stock-Markets / Brazil
By: Guy_Lerner
On February 4th, I wrote that the Brazilian Bovespa was "dead money", and nothing since that time has changed my mind as Brazil, as measured by the i-Shares MSCI Brazil Index Fund (symbol: EWZ), has lagged the S&P500.

Traditional Stocks Bull Market Affects / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Donald_W_Dony
The traditional affects of an expanding economy and a bull market have finally reached the yield curve. After nine months of positive GDP growth in the US economy and over 12 months of steady advances in the S&P 500, the yield curve is beginning to flatten. This action normally starts within the first 12 to 18 months of a bull market and its presence now is right on schedule.

China Shanghai Composite Index Stock Market Technical Take / Stock-Markets / Chinese Stock Market
By: Guy_Lerner
Since the start of the year, the Shanghai Composite Index is down about 12%. But this composite peaked back in August, 2009, and it is down about 17% from those highs. We can debate the reasons why the Chinese market is down, but there is no doubt that US equity bulls should be concerned that the Chinese market has been diverging from the US indices.

Stock Market Classic Handle Action Yet Again... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
Just when you think all is doomed the market surprises yet again. After watching what happened to the market on Friday I'm sure most of you were thinking that today would be a follow-through disaster. That the market had finally, since its best days, and now it was down-hill time for the averages. Not to be, though, was it! Once again a handle doing what it does oh so incredibly well. It fools the masses and plays games with your emotions. Exactly what the market big boys and girls want.

The Great Reflation, The Mother of all Financial Experiments / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: John_Mauldin
Let me start this week's Outside the Box by venting a little anger. It now looks like almost 30% of the Greek financing will come from the IMF, rather than just a small portion. And since 40% of the IMF is funded by US taxpayers, and that debt will be JUNIOR to current bond holders (if the rumors are true) I can't tell you how outraged that makes me.

Why Stock Market Correction Is Looking More Likely / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The bond market looks like it's made a huge base and is about to break out. The charts on basic materials, China and the retail sector look vulnerable, too, suggesting the consumer may need a rest. All of this could be signaling a disappointment out of Friday's jobs report for April and a possible correction in equities.
