Stock Market Rally, S&P 500 Joins The Nasdaq For Now... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

By: Jack_Steiman

Today was a very interesting day from this perspective. Normally, when a market gets overbought on the short-term time frame charts, it sells off some almost immediately. If we were in a bear market or a strong down trending market, it probably wouldn't last but a moment. The selling would kick in basically immediately. We spent an entire day today at overbought. Unusual but bullish. At some point we'll need to sell that off some to unwind things but it was great action to see overbought stay overbought.

Three Walls of Worry Hitting the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010

By: Claus_Vogt

Stock markets around the world are down about 10 percent since their January highs. Complacency, which was so high only weeks ago, has quickly vanished. Worries, if not outright angst, have returned.

However, if you take a closer look, you can detect interesting differences in the “walls of worry” building up in three major regions of the world. And since it’s often said that stocks climb walls of worry, these could lead to the next leg up for stock prices …

Stock Market Rally Continues! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010

By: Harry_Boxer

The stock market indices ended up again today on Wednesday, but in a much narrower session and in a more of a consolidative pattern. The day started out with a gap up, and then they backed off, retested the highs, made slight nominal new highs but couldn't follow through, and then rolled over rather hard, setting the session lows by late morning.

Stock Market and Silver Down Trend Forecast / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010

By: Chris_Vermeulen

This report is a mix of both current market action and educational material on how stocks and commodities trend (move).

Since mid October I have been on the look out for the market to top or make a multi wave correction. The market did top in January and has formed an ABC retrace (3 wave correction).

Stock Market Where We Are... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010

By: Jack_Steiman

As for me, who knows but for the market, let's explore the message(s) being sent. When one studies the market, the focus should really be on two things. Secondly, sentiment. It's not an exact timing mechanism but all it needs is a catalyst and she'll kick in hard. The one thing that holds true more than anything in this game is earnings. As goes earnings so ultimately will go the market.

Gold Breaks Out in Europe, Complete Global Debt Crisis Coordination / Stock-Markets / Global Debt Crisis

By: Jim_Willie_CB

The subprime debt issue of 2007 blossomed into a global credit crisis. Likewise, the Dubai sovereign debt issue will blossom into a global sovereign debt crisis in similar pathogenesis. The start and end points are located in the Untied States and Untied Kingdom. With the global climax come disruption, restructure, and chaos. The subprime mortgage problem was grossly under-estimated. The Hat Trick Letter called it the beginning of an absolute bond contagion, a global credit market collapse correctly forecasted. Central bankers, led by the clueless USFed Chairman Bernanke, minimized the degree and depth of the credit crisis, and made every conceivable wrong forecast. His reward was reappointment, since his service to the syndicate has been steadfast, loyal, and inventive. Every phase of global finance has entered a crisis mode, as the financial structures are coordinated, linked in complete fashion by the tightening noose using a US$ brand of rope.

Stock Market Investing, We’re All Speculators Now  / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010

By: Doug_Wakefield

As I watch the drama of the financial markets and consider the enormous impact they have on every aspect of our daily lives, I am amazed by the vast difference of opinions held by the public. Now, I don’t mean the financial press or the press in general; what I am talking about is our basic understanding of the very financial world that we have grown to take more for granted with each passing day.

Marc Faber Says Investors Don't Ignore India / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010

By: LewRockwell

I found it remarkable that at a recent Barron’s roundtable discussion in New York where a number of prominent strategists and portfolio managers had gathered, India – the world’s second-most populous country, with more than a billion people and an economy that is growing at around 8% per annum – wasn’t mentioned once.

Stock Market S&P 500 Bearish Black Cross Lurking? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market

By: Andrew_Butter

My view on the S&P 500 is that right now it is 28% undervalued but it will keep on being undervalued until all of the detritus from the past seven years of fiscal insanity get’s cleared out. So basically it’s going to drift sideways for quite a long time with it’s value determined roughly by the ratio of nominal GDP divided by the yield of the 30 Year Treasury.

Emerging Markets Investing 2010, Colombia Is Open for Business / Stock-Markets / Emerging Markets

By: David_Galland

Following a recent group email exchange with Louis James, the truly tireless editor of Casey’s International Speculator currently kicking rocks in Colombia, one of the non-Casey Research participants in the exchange commented, “You guys are doing it right. How many research shops have emails that start out with ‘Greetings from Medellin’?”

This is not Louis’s first trip to Colombia but just one of many. This time he is there to update his notes on what’s going on down there, now that some semblance of political stability has reignited interest on the part of large and small exploration/mining companies alike in Colombia’s rich mineral endowment.

Gold, Commodities, Stocks and Financial Markets Mega-analysis / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010

By: Douglas_V._Gnazzo

The world’s attention is focused on Greece’s sovereign debt problems – a budget deficit that is 12.7% of gross domestic product. Consequently, Greece needs to sell 53 billion euros of debt this year, the equivalent of about 20% of its gross domestic product.

This has caused the yield on Greek bonds to rise to 7.16%, which in turn lowers bond prices (value). For 2009, Greek bonds had a negative return of 0.76%. The spread between Greek bonds and German bunds is about 300 basis points.

Stock and Commodity Market Investors Heading for Six Months of Hell / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010

By: Larry_Edelson

In last week’s column, I reviewed the profits you should have bagged the week earlier. Total now, since March of last year, assuming you followed all of my suggestions: 11 closed out trades, including 9 winners — with gains of as much as 91.7% — one breakeven trade, and one loser. Not bad for just over 10 months.

Europe China Connection Threatens Stock Markets / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010

By: Money_Morning

Jon D. Markman writes: I was watching the Asia Edge show on Bloomberg television Wednesday night when the lovely and smart Susan Li broke in breathlessly on her guest with news about China's consumer inflation numbers. Inflation was reported up just a touch in January, which was considered good news because if it was higher it would have made Chinese banking authorities more anxious to clamp down on interest rates and if it was lower it would have raised the awful specter of deflation.
