Financial Crisis Called Off, Bernanke, Krugman, Banksters and their Media / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: LewRockwell
James Howard Kunstler writes: Whew, what a relief! Everybody from Ben Bernanke and a Who’s Who of banking poobahs schmoozing it up in the heady vapors of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to the dull scribes at The New York Times, toiling in their MC Escher hall of mirrors, to poor dim James Surowiecki over at The New Yorker, to – wonder of wonders! – the Green Shoots claque at the cable networks, to the assorted quants, grinds, nerds, pimps, factotums, catamites, and cretins in every office from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to the International Monetary Fund – every man-Jack and woman-Jill around the levers of power and opinion weighed in last week with glad tidings that the world’s capital finance system survived what turned out to be a mere protracted bout of heartburn and has been reborn as the Miracle Bull economy. Our worries over. If you believe the claptrap. Which I don’t.

Stocks Bull Market 50% Advance Signals September Opportunity for Deluded Bears / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The Stocks bull market continued to forge ahead with the Dow closing at 9544, after hitting a high of 9630 during the week, which is a stones throw from the target of 9,750, having advanced 3,280 points and more than 50% in less than 6 months, now it will be interesting to see how the market behaves as it enters the target zone for the termination of this phase of the bull run of between 9750 to 10,000, as my analysis of 5 weeks ago (updated this week) called for a more significant correction to follow than that which transpired during June to July, perhaps just about the time when many of the public bears throw in the towel and the not so smart money starts to pile in as greed replaces fear?

So Where Is the Stock Market Correction? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment
By: Sy_Harding
There’s been a significant change in the mood on Wall Street and therefore in the financial media, in recent weeks. After perpetual bullishness for months, it seems that independent analysts, and even Wall Street spokesmen, pretty much now agree the market is overbought and overdue for a correction.

What Can Stop This Stock Market Rally? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Tim_Iacono
You hear a lot of talk these days about what could possibly stop the current stock market rally given that we've clearly passed the "acute" phase of the financial crisis and, quite literally, there is no place to go but up for many economic indicators.
The term "statistical recovery" is bandied about quite a bit by doubters of the recent move up for equities and for many very good reasons such as the following:

Stock Market Rally, Is There A Cloud In The Silver Lining? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Valuations
By: Charles_Maley
My brother Jim has been trading the markets for over thirty years. Yesterday, we got involved in a conversation about the markets and the stock market in particular. He always does a good amount of research to support his own trading decisions and since sharing observations is one of the reasons I started this blog, I thought we should at least be aware of these points.

Stock Market Rally Engineered by the Government / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Global_Research
Bob Chapman writes: Since March we have watched a stock market rally borne by low volume and short covering. The gains are reminiscent of the rallies of 1930 and 1932. What you are witnessing is a rally engineered by our government. If you watch the tape and you can read it you can see exactly what they are doing, and how they are doing it. Yes, it is legal under an Executive Order singed by President Ronald Reagan in the aftermath of the October 19th, 1997 collapse of the stock market. It was named the “Working Group on Financial Markets” and was to be used for such emergencies. Unfortunately, like many things in government, the mission of the “Plunge Protection Team” has been distorted. For over the last more than ten years it has been used to manipulate markets 24/7. Thus, what you are witnessing is a sucker rally, which has little hope of lasting.

Looming Financial and Economic Crises, Gold the Golden Exit / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
To survive a transformative crisis, institutions, nations, and individuals must all change. Those who do, will. Those who don’t, won’t.
In July, Vienna’s Erste Bank, released its 2009 Special Report on Gold, In Gold We Trust. The analysis of the current gold market and its future direction by Ronald-Peter Stöferle and his colleagues at Erste Bank is commendable both for its information and its timeliness; for, today, the future of gold is inextricably interwoven with everyone’s future—whether they know it or not .

Near-term Peak Emerging for S&P 500 Stock Market Index / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Let's notice (blue boxes) that the past two sessions in the cash SPX (from a candlestick perspective) appear to be a mirror image of the early July bottom period. That is to say that action on Monday and Tuesday left behind "distribution candles," which in English means that the vast majority of the intraday buying occurred well above BOTH the opening AND closing prices (very small "Real Body" for you candle afficionados).

By: PaddyPowerTrader
Stateside Bernanke gets an encore, the Case-Shiller shows house prices were up MoM, consumer confidence soared 6.7 points through the 50 level and yet stocks finished only marginally ahead. Is the fat lady about to sing on the overbought summer rally? Maybe it will be called the Bernanke top in years to come?
