Then in the last 15minutes they exploded into the close, closing at the highs for the day going away. The bulls couldn't ask for more.

Russia Regroups Twenty Years After the Fall of the Berlin Wall / Stock-Markets / Articles
By: STRATFOR
We are now at the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the beginning of the collapse of the Soviet empire in Eastern Europe. We are also nearing the 18th anniversary of the fall of the Soviet Union itself. This is more than simply a moment for reflection -- it is a moment to consider the current state of the region and of Russia versus that whose passing we are now commemorating. To do that, we must re-examine why the Soviet empire collapsed, and the current status of the same forces that caused that collapse.

Stock Market On a Glide Path Towards Dow 11,000 / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Paul_J_Nolte
All the market and the economy are asking for is a little bit of respect. The expectation of better economic news, coupled with above estimated earnings has put the equity market on a glide path towards 11,000 over the course of the next few months. The economy is on a bumpy recover, with manufacturing replacing all the stuff bought over the past six months (inventory rebuild), while productivity of American workers is through the roof. So goes the bullish argument. However, the king of lagging indicators, unemployment is not really showing signs of “expansion”.

By: Graham_Summers
As I wrote earlier this year, the US’s monetary policy has already laid the seeds of the next Crisis. Is now no longer a question whether or not another Crisis is coming; instead, it’s a question of which Crisis and when. I’ve detailed what I think are the three general options below:

Stock and Dollar Bears At the Margin / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Captain_Hook
How can the stock market continue to set new rally related records week in and week out? Answer: As per our discussion last week, because at the margin, there have been enough bearish speculators, as measured by US index open interest put / call ratios, to continually squeeze prices higher. What’s more, this, in itself is nothing new (sentiment largely drives market direction in fiat currency economies), and has been the primary driving force behind stock market direction for sometime now (decades).

Stock Market Investors Needn’t Fear a Double-Dip Economic Recession / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: A new report contains some very good news for investors: Double-dip recessions are very rare.
That means that a drop back into recessionary conditions looks less and less likely even as unemployment creeps higher and has crossed the 10% threshold for the first time in a quarter century.

Stock Market Trending Towards Mid November Cycle Low / Stock-Markets / Cycles Analysis
By: Andre_Gratian
Current Position of the Market
SPX: Long-term trend - Down! The very-long-term cycles have taken over and if they make their lows when expected, the bear market which started in October 2007 should continue until 2014. This would imply that much lower prices lie ahead. This will not be a straight-down decline, but will consist of a series of intermediate-term rallies and declines until we have reached the low point.
SPX: Intermediate trend - Signals for an intermediate top continue to be elusive. The top of 1100, as expected, was only that of a short-term trend which may already have bottomed. The rally from the 1030 low is only a temporary move which is near its end and should be followed by a test of the low, at a minimum.

Stock Market Investment Sentiment, Changes Within The Indicators / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment
By: Guy_Lerner
Every week that I put together these comments, I pay great attention to the words that I write. Last week's key points were: 1) the range continues; 2) seasonal tendencies and being at the bottom of a well defined trend channel argue for a bounce; 3) we need to see the excesses of bullish sentiment unwound before we have meaningfully higher prices; 4) the risk of a market down draft remains great. This week investor sentiment has become very convoluted suggesting even greater care in the words I choose. So let's get to it.

By: Trader_Mark
Some great posts this weekend over at "The Big Picture" by Barry Ritholtz; Barry is essentially the "trailblazer" of financial blogging and many a blogger has followed in his footsteps. In my piece this past week on the Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.a) Burlington Northern (BNI) buyout I didn't have time to get into it but detail oriented readers might of noticed this seemingly throwaway line I tossed in:

Easy Money Continues to Boost Risky Financial Asset Prices / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Prieur_du_Plessis
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) maintained its extraordinarily accommodative monetary policy following its meeting on Wednesday. The communiqué had no surprises and said that the committee expected to keep the fed funds rate target in the 0-0.25% range “for an extended period”. As expected, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England (BoE) also kept interest rates unchanged at 1% and 0.5% respectively.
