Islamic Extremism and Emerging Market Stocks / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: EWI
By By Mark Galasiewski,
We have for many years observed a relationship between extremism and bear markets in the stock markets of Muslim nations. For example, this chart shows the deadliest Islamic terrorist attacks graphed against the MSCI Emerging Markets Index since the start of the index on December 31, 1987. Notice that many the attacks occurred near lows in the index.

U.S. Dollar, Gold and Stocks Most Important Market Analysis Update Ever! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2014
By: David_Petch
A few notes first off...the US Dollar Index has broken below 80.0, but for this to mean anything, the US Dollar must close below 79.40 on a weekly basis. The critical levels of upper support and resistance are so tight right now, that the volatility we have seen has caused many players to go long when its wrong and go short when they should abort. The trend finally does "appear" as if the 79.40 level will break, but nothing is better than waiting for confirmation than speculation.

The Stock Market is Overvalued, Caution is Warranted / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Christopher_Quigley
Back in 2001 Buffett said in an interview with Fortune Magazine that “the single best measure” of stock market valuation is by taking the total market cap (TMC) and dividing it by the total gross domestic product (GDP). Today TMC is equal to 114.5% of total GDP.At the market top in 2007, just prior to a -54% crash in stocks, TMC was equal to 104.9%. According to Buffett’s “favorite” market timing indicator stocks are more overvalued today than in 2007.

Stock Market Grinder... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Jack_Steiman
The market wants to correct. You can feel it. It has a pulse. It has an energy. The problem thus far has been the constant burn the bears have felt every time they've tried to front run. You can see the market struggle for every point as the daily chart oscillators are starting to weaken as we grind higher. As the market moves up, the MACD is not. The RSI and stochastics aren't forceful, but the MACD is the real problem child in the world of momentum oscillators. They are screaming for a pullback of some kind, but it'll take something to kick start the event. Maybe it'll be tomorrow's ISM Manufacturing Report.

Dirt Cheap Global Stock Markets / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: DailyWealth
Dr. Steve Sjuggerud writes: You probably haven't noticed, but boring government bonds are up double digits this year...
U.S. stocks continue to push to all-time highs as well... even Europe is soaring to multiyear highs.
Today, we've got uptrends around the globe. The big question is... after so many investments have run up so high, where is the value in the world today? Is there any left out there?

Why You Shouldn’t Sell This Dull Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Investment_U
Alexander Green writes: The Dow hasn't done much this year, meandering up and down and delivering a low single-digit return year-to-date.
Stocks look boring to investors. So many are selling them for alternative investments.
This is almost certainly making a mistake.

Stock Market Bearish Indexes / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Andre_Gratian
Current Position of the Market
SPX: Very Long-term trend - The very-long-term cycles are in their down phases, and if they make their lows when expected, there will be another steep decline into late 2014. However, the Fed policy of keeping interest rates low has severely curtailed the full downward pressure potential of the 40-yr and 120-yr cycles.
Intermediate trend - The DOW may be tracing out an ending diagonal pattern.

US Stock Markets Can’t Get No Respect ..BUT… / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Rambus_Chartology
In this Weekend Report I’d like to show you some charts on the different US stock markets and some of the stronger sectors within the US markets. It seems like no one believes this rally taking place in the US stock markets and many stock markets abroad. The mantra is we have to have a correction because markets can’t keep going up like this , which is true , but the stock markets will let us know when it’s time for a correction. Right now most of the charts are looking positive with no sign of a top in place yet. This could all change next week but right now things are looking much more bullish than bearish.

By: DailyWealth
Dr. Steve Sjuggerud writes: Most experts don't want to admit it... but there's actually plenty of room for stocks to go much higher from here – even through the end of 2016.
We certainly have some signs of a market top out there... But before you sell everything, I urge you to seriously consider today's essay.

Central Bank Stocks Buying Binge / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Mike_Whitney
Central banks have shifted into stocks and are buying up everything that isn’t bolted to the floor.
That’s the gist of the story that breathlessly appeared in the Financial Times about a week ago and swept across the blogosphere like a Santa Anna brushfire. And there’s some truth to it too, if taken with a large grain of salt. Here’s a clip from the Omfif’s report the FT’s cites in the article:

The general market made a new bull market high on Tuesday at SPX 1968, dropped to 1945 by Thursday, and then rallied to 1961 to end the week. For the week the SPX/DOW were -0.35%, the NDX/NAZ were +0.90%, and the DJ World index was -0.25%. Economic reports for the week were slightly positive. On the uptick: existing/new home sales, personal income/spending, consumer confidence/sentiment and PCE prices. On the downtick: Q1 GDP, Case-Shiller, durable goods orders, the LEI and the monetary base. Next week we get reports on Nonfarm payrolls, ISM and the Chicago PMI.

Stock Market Bullish Until Proven Otherwise..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Jack_Steiman
We were gapping down once again this Friday morning. It wasn't a massive gap down, but it had potential. A five handle on the S&P 500 isn't major, but it is something the bears can work with. Within minutes their dream was gone. Once again the bears refused to get in front of the selling out of the gate, thus, the bulls were able to keep things going albeit slowly as the day moved along. A nice rush very late in the day gave the market a push to the green. Once again, the bears have to be shaking their heads wondering what it'll take to sell a market that has everything going against it.

Nothing Threatens This Stocks Bull Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Money_Morning
Michael A. Robinson Writes: With U.S. stocks at all-time highs, folks are wondering where prices can go from here. After all, U.S. growth is still anemic, the Federal Reserve is rolling back its market assistance and corporate profits aren’t all they could be.
Granted, there will be periodic corrections and unpleasant events that will “shock” the markets into temporary downturns.
But I believe the conditions now in place could foster a bull market that could last 18 to 20 years.

Smart Money, Dumb Money & Your Money - Bond Market End Game / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2014
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
Crime is far more common than logic. This is the refuge of bankers.
In capitalism’s end game, leveraged debt fatally destabilizes the supply and demand dynamic necessary for stable economic activity. Understanding this is critical to understanding why capitalism today is failing.
In the banker’s ponzi-scheme of credit and debt, debt-based money is created through central bank credit. Usually, the central banks’ constant expansion of the money supply results in rising prices, i.e. inflation. In the end game, however, this is no longer true.

Bad GDP Data? Stock Market Doesn’t Care / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: PhilStockWorld
Today’s 3rd Estimate of Q1 GDP shocked to the downside, but the GDP is backward looking, and the market couldn’t care less. The S&P 500 hit its -0.13% intraday low two minutes into the session and then began its fairly steady recovery to its 0.56% intraday high about 15 minutes before the close. A bit of selling in the final minutes trimmed the gain to 0.49%. The index is now a mere 0.17% off its record close on Friday.

Stock Market Right Back Up... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Jack_Steiman
A reversal to the reversal. Why not. When all seemed ripe for big selling we didn't see any today, although we tried early on for sure. A small gap down that had a chance to at least run somewhat lower. No large gap down suggested today wouldn't be terrible, which I spoke about early on in the morning update, but there was hope that we could move lower throughout the day. It just didn't happen. Why? Hard to say other than the usual. Folks are still looking to buy when there's some decent weakness, and in this market, weakness is about 1% lower.
