By: Anthony_Cherniawski

Nasdaq Leads Stock Markets in Mixed Trading Session / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Harry_Boxer
The markets had some interesting volatility to end the week on options expiration day. They opened with a sharp gap lower, bounced and then made lower lows by mid-day and new lows for the entire pullback, reaching an extremely oversold condition on a short-term basis. By mid-day they started to turn and triggered a strong rally in early afternoon, which extended to new highs for the session with about an hour an a half to go. They then pulled back down and gave back about 50% of the rally , retested the intraday moving averages, but held and bounced back into the close.Read full article... Read full article...

Inside Story on Septembers Financial and Economic Meltdown- Video / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Submissions
On Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008, the astonished leadership of the U.S. Congress was told in a private session by the chairman of the Federal Reserve that the American economy was in grave danger of a complete meltdown within a matter of days. "There was literally a pause in that room where the oxygen left," says Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) As the housing bubble burst and trillions of dollars' worth of toxic mortgages began to go bad in 2007, fear spread through the massive firms that form the heart of Wall Street. By the spring of 2008, burdened by billions of dollars of bad mortgages, the investment bank Bear Stearns was the subject of rumors that it would soon fail.Read full article... Read full article...

Near-Term Peak Approaching for ProShares UltraShort SPY (AMEX: SDS) / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The 4-hour chart of the ProShares UltraShort SPY (AMEX: SDS) is a very illuminating graphic. The SDS is near two very important "swing" targets: 1) the light green line shows the equidistant uplegs of 23 points off of the 1/06 low, and after the pullback to the Feb 9th of 71.85, which projects a target of 94.90-95.20; and 2) the light blue lines show the measured upmove off of the Double Bottom formation, which projects a target of 96.00/30 from the "neckline" breakout level (84.00/25). So far, today's high is 94.82, which is very close to precisely satisfying the optimal "swing" target zone.Read full article... Read full article...

U.S. Bankrupt, Dow Jones Closes at 6 Year Low / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: PaddyPowerTrader
The Dow Jones finally closed below its November 21st 2008 low (recall that was meant to be the “bottom”), though the wider S&P 500 and NASDAQ have not (yet) broken these psychological levels . It's really a case of nothing but the same old story with banks tanking on ever increasing nationalisation fears. And what of the multiple stimulus packages; well, in short, investors just aren't buying it. Read full article... Read full article...

U.S. Economy 4th Quarter 2009 Recovery, SIVs to the Rescue? / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Paul_L_Kasriel
We apologize for the tardiness and brevity of this update. We have been on the peas-and-chicken circuit for the better part of two months, which has consumed much of our time and energy. A lot has transpired since our January update. Congress passed and the president signed a $787 billion fiscal stimulus program. Treasury Secretary Geithner, after paying his back taxes, changed the name of the financial institution rescue program from TARP to FSP (Financial Stability Program). The Obama administration announced a $75 billion program to facilitate the modification of at-risk home mortgages. And the Commerce Department released its first guesstimate of Q4:2008 GDP.

Dow Jones Monthly Stock Chart Points to 4500 Crash / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Not much commentary is needed when viewing the monthly chart of the Dow. We only need an active imagination. All I will say here is that I have projections from this monthly chart to 6800-6500 and then to 4500. Since this is a monthly chart, however, we need to realize that the timeframe for such a move, and the volatility that could emerge between 8500 and 7500, add some definite challenges to capitalizing from such a move in trading the Dow Diamonds Trust (NYSE: DIA) or the ultra long or short Dow ETF instruments.Read full article...

Stocks Bull Market Killers / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Money_and_Markets
Sean Brodrick writes: I'm very bullish on gold and silver. And at the same time, my target on the S&P 500 is 600 — a 24% drop from recent levels and 62% down from its October 2007 peak.
As far as the economy goes, I'm not looking for it to bottom before 2012 … if we're lucky. While the market could bottom before that, I'm not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Stock Market Bounce Coming / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Brian_Bloom
No market goes straight up or straight down. Based on the charts below (courtesy Decisionpoint.com), it looks to this analyst that the Dow Jones Industrials Index (and $SPX) is due to bounce up from a double bottom at around 7500 and, if this happens, then the gold price may bounce down from a double top at around $1,000 an ounce.

Looking back, the signs of a market tops and bottoms are so obvious. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that. When you're in the middle of it all though, it's not nearly as easy to see.

Stocks and Commodities About to Go Bust? Questions and Answer / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Oxbury_Research
I am very pleased to announce that we have arrived at the point of maximum confusion. The voices you hear are real, and what they are saying is also being generated by the haze within which we all find ourselves. You'd be best not to pay them any heed.
Your only goal now should be to maintain your sanity, as what happens next is sure to both terrify and surprise. Unfortunately, there's little we can say in advance to help you prepare for the shock and awe of what's imminent. Only stay calm. Keep your head. The impulsive and cocksure will be lost. The deliberate and even-keeled, saved.

Stock Market Plunge as Bad as It Gets / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Harry_Boxer
The indices suffered a very negative session to start the week. The indices gapped down below short-term support, and experienced a narrow but volatile session, particularly late in the afternoon. Net-net it closed at the lows for the day going away on the S&P 500 and very close to it on the Dow. Only the Nasdaq 100 managed to close above the lows, but still suffered a very steep loss.Read full article... Read full article...
