Ineffcient Stock Market Remains in Buy Mode / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jay_DeVincentis
Stock Barometer Analysis -
The barometer is in Buy Mode. The Stock Barometer is my proprietary market timing system. The direction, slope and level of the Stock Barometer determine our outlook. For example, if the barometer line is moving down, we are in Sell Mode. A Buy or Sell Signal is triggered when the indicator clearly changes direction. Trend and support can override the barometer signals.

Manipulated Stock Market, Watch the last 30 minutes of Trading / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Graham_Summers
Through this year and the last, the last 30 minutes of trading has been a critical point for manipulation. Countless times the market has shown signs of breaking below critical resistance points, only to have stocks rally sharply in the final 30 minutes of trading. Indeed, there were even several days in which stocks actually reversed losses to close at a gain all in the final 10 minutes.

Stock Market Negative Divergence Signals Caution / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Marty_Chenard
One of the things smart investors do, is to keep an eye out for "Negative Divergences". Market pullbacks are often seen right after a Negative Divergence fails to the downside.
As an analyst, I look for the possibility of negative divergences developing on my radar screen.

Buying into the Stock Market Rally, Hook, Line, and Sinker / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Mike_Shedlock
Belief that the worst is behind is now nearly universal. Mickey Mouse, aka Ben Bernanke, even has himself fooled. He was reappointed today as grand wizard (see Bernanke's Self-Promotional Reappointment Campaign A Stunning Success) and in general people are feeling pretty good about it.

Proving The Effectiveness Of The Only Known Antidote For Economic Suicide / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Andrew_Butter
Putting aside colorful sensationalism (tales of greed, fraud, and incompetence), the instrument of the recent suicide attempt was banks lending money against collateral and not taking reasonable or responsible steps to make sure that the value of collateral was more than the loans that were outstanding, at the point in time loans defaulted.

Historical Stocks Bear and Bull Markets Compared / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Money_and_Markets
Nilus Mattive writes: It seems as though just about everyone has now completely written off the bear market as “so last quarter.” Isn’t it amazing what a couple months of upticks can do?
Don’t get me wrong. I’m as happy as anyone that this rally has had staying power. It means my favorite dividend stocks are increasing in value!

Deluge Ahead or Smooth Sailing for the Stock Market? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bull Market
By: Chris_Wilson
Many traders, given all the statistics, trends, and patterns at their disposal, have been reluctant to buy stocks for a while now. Momentum traders would contest, however, that by not buying, you would have missed out on some pretty decent gains for stocks over the past few months. It’s true- even your most reliable indicators often will tell you when to enter a trade, but they won’t always tell you how long a market may stay in a trend. The old axiom about the market remaining irrational longer than you can remain solvent comes to mind. But that begs the question: Is the market irrational here?

Financial Sector Distressed Issues Still To Be Dealt With / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Paul_J_Nolte
It’s getting better all the time or so says both the Beatles and the financial markets. The economic data regarding housing indicated that sales are picking up, however that is offset by the consumer data indicating that spending is not happening and jobs continue to be hard to secure. The housing (as well as car sales) data continue to be skewed by government bailout efforts. What makes the data more concerning for the long-term viability of any recovery that we may be in the middle of is much of the activity came from distressed sales, inventories of unsold homes still rose and home prices are still falling.

Why Elliott Wave Counters Can't Stop the Stocks Bull Market / Stock-Markets / Elliott Wave Theory
By: Michael_Swanson
Before I get into what we need to think about this week for the stock market I want you to go back to last weekend and imagine what you heard people saying on television about the stock market. Did you hear negative talk or positive talk?
What I heard was a lot of people talking about a big correction coming. People saying the economy is going to continue to slide, the stock market has gone up too much, and even some Elliott Wavers calling for a Fall stock market crash.

October is the Cruelest Month for Stock and Financial Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Tarek_Saab
T.S. Eliot famously declared "April is the cruelest month" in his poem, The Wasteland. Apparently, Eliot was no stock investor. For those holding stocks, it is October which has been the cruelest month. October 1929. October 1987. October 2008 . . . Wasteland indeed.

Stock Market Trend is Definitely Up / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Angelo_Campione
Summary of Position For August
On July 20 we suggested a full position in an August 1020/1030 SPX Call Spread for a net credit of $0.60 on the basis that the market seemed to be getting ahead of itself and was due for a breather. We were proved wrong as the market continued higher and held its gains. Then, in the final week the market gave a decisive move, dropping 2.5% in a day, indicating that the top was in for the time being and that our position looked safe with over a 4% buffer. Even up to Thursday, it looked as though we would be fine, but Friday's burst higher meant that the settlement price on the options expiry was also higher. This is what's known as "settlement risk". We'll take it on the chin and move on.

Potential Potholes in Economic Recovery, Gold Patience Required Ahead of Seasonally Strong Period / Stock-Markets / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Douglas_V._Gnazzo
Economy - Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer had some interesting comments at the annual symposium sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, that addressed some of the potential potholes on the road to recovery:
"Growth does appear to be beginning to resume. Much remains to be done, not least in bringing banking systems back to health, and there are good - though not conclusive - reasons to fear a sub-standard recovery."

Stocks Bear Market Fractal Encouragement / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Adam_Brochert
It's gotten mighty lonely in the bear camp and the bulls have certainly had their way with the bears since the March 2009 lows. It has been a rally for the ages and the subsequent pending drop will also have this distinction. In looking through a long-term chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, I found an encouraging fractal pattern for the current bear market rally. Markets don't repeat precisely, but they do rhyme.
