By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Unemployment claims unexpectedly rise... First-time claims for state unemployment benefits rose unexpectedly in the latest week, the Labor Department reported Thursday. The number of initial claims in the week ending June 20 rose 15,000 to 627,000. It's the highest level since mid-May. A Labor Department official said that some states reported more end-of-school-year claims. Many states allow bus drivers and cafeteria workers to file for unemployment during school breaks.

Stock Market Trading Range Continues...Bullish Pattern Holds Potential / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
We had a very interesting week of trading. We saw the bears get their chance to break the market down which would occur if the S&P 500 lost our 875-895 price and 50 EMA Support zone, yet that level was defended by the bulls mid-week. You will be able to see this very clearly in our first chart below of the SP 500. The market spent a long time trying to get through this difficult level when it blasted off the bottom in March. Once it cleared that difficult level the bears tried over and over to take that level back but the bulls would not allow that to take place. Once it became clear that our 50 EMA would hold, we saw a lot of short covering that allowed the market to trend higher late in the week.

Stock Markets Surreal Trading Day / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
A bizarre whacko day that will be remembered more for the passing of the brilliant boy who never quiet grew up, the iconic M.J. and the former darling of the bedroom 1970’s walls, the angelic Farah Fawcett. In the markets the S&P had a surreal day, surging over 2% on no real news or catalyst. Indeed what data we got to digest was disappointing (particularly the renewed rise in the weekly jobless claims).

Retail Stocks Sector on the Rebound / Stock-Markets / Sector Analysis
By: LiveCharts
Neil Kokemuller writes: More and more sectors are lending evidence to support the call by Fed Chief Ben Bernanke and others of an economic recovery for the last half or 2009. On Thursday (June 25), it was the retail sector’s chance to shine. Despite a surprisingly lower jobless claims report, positive earnings reports and optimism from retailers helped drive stocks higher by two per cent, ending a four-day slide in equities.

Stock Market Advantage Credit Spreads Weekly Update / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Angelo_Campione
In a market that went up 3.9% for the month, ACS just generated its best return this year at 10%. When you consider that at the start of the year the S&P opened at 902, if you'd simply bought and held, you'd be up less than 2.5% in 6 months and gone through a lot of anguish along the way. On the other hand, the ACS strategy has added 36.5% on an uncompounded basis and has done it relatively comfortably. At this point, the average return is 6.08% Per Month and right on track with the average we aim for of 6% per month.

Hard Out Here for a Stocks, Bonds and Commodities Bear / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Adam_Brochert
Being bearish on something requires a different temperament than simply switching one's bullishness to a different asset class. I am uber-bearish on traditional asset classes like stocks, corporate bonds and commodities. Being in cash is no fun and not very helpful when one is trying to grow their wealth through investing and speculation.

Completed Recovery Rally in Nasdaq Q's / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
If the larger pattern in the PowerShares QQQ Trust (Nasdaq: QQQQ) off of the June high at 37.29 to Tuesday’s low at 34.77 represents the initial downleg in an intermediate-term correction of the March-June advance, then all of the action off of this week’s low into today’s high likely represents a completed or very nearly completed recovery rally -- ahead of the start of another downleg to finish the larger pattern. If my pattern work proves accurate, then in the hour(s) directly ahead the Q’s should peak and roll over in the vicinity of 36.30/60, towards a retest of 34.77 –- on the way to 33.80/40.

The Administration has provided Congress with a proposed overhaul of financial industry regulations that is sweeping in its coverage to say the least, the most serious attempt to protect investors since the 1930’s, but guaranteed to have Wall Street and its powerful friends taking up arms against it.

Can the "Mimetic Effect" Explain Speculative Bubbles? / Stock-Markets / Liquidity Bubble
By: MISES
Jeremie T.A. Rostan writes: For the enemies of freedom in general , and of the economy in particular, the recent crash has been the occasion to re-assert that markets in general, and financial ones in particular, are inherently unstable — and thus dangerous — because they are driven by irrational behaviors such as the "mimetic effect," which, according to many experts and politicians, explains how Wall Street booms and then busts.

Status Quo Fed FOMC Meeting Disappoints The Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Not much to report from the trenches where traders were a tad bemused by the more confident but still diligent Fed FoMC statement. While there was comfort from the assurances that deflation was no longer seen as a major threat and they intend to keep rates close to zero for an extended period of time, there was some surprise at no hint at an exit strategy or any thought of buying more bonds to keep a lid on mortgage rates (which had been on a sharp upward drift of late).

Financial Crisis, : and the Winner Is… GOLDMAN SACHS / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
The king to the banker did say
Tis I who ride you this day
This day it is true the banker did say
But tomorrow tis I who ride you
News of Goldman’s Sachs’ triumph arrived when Reuter’s newswire reported on June 22, 2009: “Goldman Sachs on pace for record bonuses”. At a time when the US is struggling with the greatest financial crisis since the 1930s, Goldman Sachs has triumphantly weathered the crisis. That should be no surprise for Goldman Sachs created the crisis in the first place.

Honest Money Gold & Silver Report - Market Wrap / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Douglas_V._Gnazzo
State of the Nation
From 2005 to 2009, the U.S. debt has increased $14 trillion dollars, while GDP went up a bit less than $2 trillion. It now takes over $7 dollars of new debt to “create” $1 of GDP “growth”. In 2006 the ratio was less than $5 dollars. Soon, it will be double that amount.
