Stock Market Counter Trend Rally Coming to an End / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
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 2012-2014. This would imply that much lower prices lie ahead. This will not be a straight-down decline, but a series of intermediate-term rallies and declines until we have reached the low point.
SPX: Intermediate trend - The counter-trend rally which started in March is now coming to an end. The objective for a high is being reached and deceleration is becoming apparent. If the top has not already been reached, it should be, shortly!

Stock Market Rally Celebrations Come to an Abrupt Halt / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Prieur_du_Plessis
During the week marking the second anniversary of the start of the credit crunch, stocks, copper, nickel, zinc and sugar recorded fresh 2009 highs. But the celebrations came to an abrupt end as caution crept back into investors’ vocabulary on Friday when it dawned upon pundits that markets were running away from economic reality. On top of that, Chinese equities - a leading stock market on the way up - saw a reversal of fortune and declined to a five-week low.

Stock Market Uptrend, Watch for a Pullback / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Peter_Navarro
Market Pulse - The University of Michigan consumer sentiment index fell in August to its lowest level since March, according to preliminary data. The index came in at 63.2, down 2.8 points from July and even more from the second half of last month. The decline from July was led by a sharp drop in assessments of current conditions, although assessments of expectations also fell.

Stock Market Dumb Money indicator Continues to Hit New Extremes / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Guy_Lerner
The "Dumb Money" indicator continues to hit new extremes despite last week's slight down market. The Rydex market timers continue to be bullish and leveraged to the extreme. And to round out our sentiment analysis, selling by company insiders has hit extremes as well. It is the perfect trifecta. Whether the perfect trifecta becomes the perfect storm (again) for investors is yet to be determined.

Stock Market Bumping Into Resistance / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Angelo_Campione
The market seems to be forming a tight sideways channel in which we are bumping up against resistance. If we are hitting up against resistance, where is support? In looking at the chart below, one could say that the support level is back around the 94 level (or even the 87 level). Where do I think the market is going?

Stock Market Lateral Consolidation Continues / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
No one and I mean no one can deny that this market has done a great job of frustrating both bulls and bears alike. Bad news gets absorbed by the market without any real down side action. How annoying was Thursday for bears! Horrific numbers on the retail sales front. The market falls some only to recover late and show gains. With gains in retail sales expected and with losses the actual outcome, it's hard to imagine being short this report and having to cover or even if you didn't, you had to deal with an up market in a down report. No fun.

Secular Stocks Bear Market Phasing / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Tim_Wood
It seems that everyone is pretty well convinced that we are now operating within the context of a “new bull market.” Rally, yes, and this was no surprise to me or my subscribers. But, “new bull market,” I think not. Let me clarify my position on this advance.

Financial Armageddon Part Two: Securitization Is Too Big To Fail So The Racketeering Must Stop! / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Andrew_Butter
Armageddon Part One is over. The question, like a hurricane, is whether the US is now in the eye of the storm or is it plain sailing from here on? The "navigators" are mumbling something about "all clear", but then that's what they mumbled last time.
Follow the money… how much money got "pumped" into the US economy after the start of the credit crunch compared to before? It's a little confusing:

Stock Markets Continue To Defy Gravity And Logic / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
So when did the US market ever start caring about Europe where allegedly the recession is over. Odd that it sure doesn’t feel like a Renaissance on Main Street. US Retail sales (yes the US consumer is still approx 70% of the economy) were a total disaster, jobless claims jumped and foreclosures are a record high, but yet the market ended up because of “better than expected” earnings from Wal-Mart and legendary investor John Paulsen taking a stake in Bank of America and Regions Financial. Downright perverse. The decoupling of the market from the real economy seems to be at all time highs.

Before You Think of Going Short the Stock market index / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Andrew_Abraham
How many Stock market Bears are itching to go short the stock market index? Probably too many to count. However regardless of all the fundamental reasons and thoughts to blindly go short the stock market index, this is not prudent. One could possibly listen to Paul Tudor Jones who thinks this is a bear market rally. BTW.. Paul Tudor Jones made a fortune predicting the stock market index would crash in 1987.

Fed Helps the Stock Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
The Dow Jones surged yet another 120 points yesterday on the back of existing home sales which rose more than expected (due to lower prices). They stayed perky after the Fed assured us that the US economy was levelling out and that they weren’t taking away that summer punch bowl during 2009 as there is no sign of inflationary pressures.
