How to Invest in China’s Turbo-Charged Economic Recovery / Stock-Markets / China Stocks
I’ve been regularly and consistently telling you that the Chinese economy is doing much better than the mass media and Wall Street “experts” have been telling you.
It has taken them a long time, but those experts are starting to come around and believe in the economic growth miracle that is going on in China.

Despite Record Rally in U.S. Stocks, Oil, Commodities and China Will be the Long-Term Winners / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
William Patalon III writes: Although U.S. stocks have made a fairly smooth transition into Year Two of what's so far been a near-record bull market, there are still many traps that can quickly ensnare a less-than-cautious investor.
Moving forward, investors need to focus on quality, take the time to understand what's really happening in Washington, and turn to such once-unconventional investments as oil, commodities and China stocks, says Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald.

Sure Looks Like A Stock Market Top? VIX, NYSE, DOW & GOLD / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
I think many of you will find this article interesting as I show several different indicators which point to an imminent correction for stocks and precious metals.
Last Wednesday’s report I showed how the current price of the index was almost identical to the January peak from where prices dropped nearly 10%. The report was called “28 Day Sector Rotation, Commodity & Index”. We did get the first sign of toppy market last Friday with the sharp one day sell off as I expected.

Stock Market Selling That Actually Sticks..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
That's a nice change of pace for once. This market needed some selling and finally got it. There were many times during the day when it seemed the market would try and go green, but for once it didn't happen, and I for one am glad it didn't. There comes a point, even if you're bullish, where you want some selling to unwind those overbought oscillators. In the back of your mind you know that the longer we go without unwinding some, the harder things will come down when it snaps. With today's selling the daily charts are now only borderline overbought while the 60-minute time frame charts are now a little more than halfway unwound from the top. It doesn't take too much selling for them to unwind some.

What if the Stock Market, Housing and Economy Since 1970 Was Just a Big Bubble? / Stock-Markets / Liquidity Bubble
One of the things that many people go through their entire lives without ever realizing is that conditions haven’t always been the way they remember them to be. Due to the length of a typical lifetime and the number of those years that individuals are productive, it’s reasonable to think that someone in their mid-60s could retire today and look back at the last 40 years only to conclude that what they just experienced was normal.

A Stocks Bull Market or Just Bull? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
Last week, the Dow closed at 10,741, up some 64 percent since its 2009 lows, [03/19/10, Yahoo! Finance] when most markets had priced in the likelihood of financial Armageddon. As the markets have rebounded from the brink of disaster, many Wall Street cheerleaders have proclaimed the dawning of a major new bull market.

Stock Market Buyers Beware / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
The rally off the February bottom is now going on 32 days. This is probably not the best time to chase stocks higher. I’ve been saying for a couple of weeks that the market needs to take a breather, preferably before earnings season as it would then be setup for a strong rally through April.

Stock Market Bulls Steps Up Again..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
This has been one of those bull markets that constantly make you earn your winnings. It has forced us all to play in to the teeth of some very overbought conditions. If we had followed conventional overbought rules we would have missed out on quite a bit of nice plays. Normally, when RSI's hit 70 across the board on the daily charts, that's it for the short-term. That rule applies in almost all normal bull markets. Not this one.

U.S. Economy, Banking Sector and Gold, Houdini Lives! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
Un giorno diverrai cenere ed ombra, un nome e non piu. (One day you will become shadows and ashes, a name and nothing more.) Aulo Persio Flacco

Investors Beware of Eurozone Plans for Greek Debt Bailout / Stock-Markets / Euro-Zone
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: An old proverb dating back to the Trojan War tells us to "beware of Greeks bearing gifts."
Today, with the fate of the European euro and perhaps even the entire Eurozone region hanging in the balance - and Greece needing a bailout to avoid default on its massive public debt - a more-appropriate warning might be: "Beware of Greeks seeking gifts."

Which Way Emerging Market Equities? / Stock-Markets / Emerging Markets
With investors’ risk appetite emboldened by the prospects of an economic recovery, emerging-market equities (+104.0%) have outperformed mature-market equities (+73.3%) by a considerable margin since the commencement of the cyclical bull market in early March 2009. But these numbers camouflage the fact that the past six months have been characterized by essentially a sideways movement in relative performance. This raises the question as to how investors should place their bets over the next few months.
