By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes: Chilean President Michelle Bachelet rebuked British Prime Minister Gordon Brown last weekend, saying the British economy would have more room for fiscal stimulus now if he had pursued responsible budget policies previously, as Chile has.

Stock Market Random Walk Continues / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Equities take heart from marginally less awful than expected auto sales and Geithner's fighting talk of the economy gaining “traction” . G20 cheerleading helped as well, as a positive view on the prospects of easing mark-to-market rules and how this may impact financials Q1 results. Short-termist smoke and mirrors if you ask me. Today's London G20 summit is in danger of over-promising and under-delivering. Read full article... Read full article...

Impressive Showing for Stock Market Bulls / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Harry_Boxer
The indices closed with a strong gain, near the highs for the day, but the day started out very differently. The pre-opening & overnight futures were down sharply, the indices gapped down big, retested Monday's lows, made higher lows and then rallied sharply in the morning, and that carried right through to about noon. They did back off after the lunch hour, but came on again and made higher highs, had a very sharp pullback with about 45-50 minutes to go, but held the earlier reaction lows and came on again and closed sharply higher.Read full article...

The Soft Financial Panic of 2009 Has Just Begun / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Q1_Publishing
Boston's Clarendon Street sits on one of city's most iconic buildings. It's also the symbol of what could kick off what I call the “Soft Panic of 2009.”
Locals know it simply as “The Hancock.” The 60-story frame wrapped in reflective blue glass makes it look like the tallest mirror in the world. I'm sure it was an impressive sight when it was built in the 70's. It still is.

G20 Gathering on All Fools Day / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Despite poor data from the Chicago PMI, weak consumer confidence and more dire housing data, stocks jumped back . It turns out that the world decided that Monday's sell-off was just a buying opportunity for bargain hunters? A change may be coming Thursday to “mark to market” from the FASB (see below). The bad news was that we had another negative quarter, but March was an up-month for the broad index readings. Read full article... Read full article...

By: Harry_Boxer

Stock Market Rally Built On Sand? FASB Can Help! / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Chris_Ciovacco
It is apparent many have jumped on the "a low is in" bandwagon in recent weeks. Given the environment we are operating in (a bear market), it makes sense for us to adopt a skeptical view of the "good" news that lifted stocks in recent weeks. The rally began after Citigroup's talk of being "profitable" somehow found its way to the media on March 10, 2009. Below is a skeptical recap of some of the drivers of the impressive rally in stocks since the March 9, 2009 low. Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Slides on Negative News / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Unadulterated risk aversion returned on Monday. The day started with the news the US had rejected proposals for auto industry rehab, moved on to a vicious fall in Japanese industrial production but then the mood was briefly lifted by an increase in UK mortgage approvals. However, markets descended back into gloom as Ireland was downgraded by S&P (it was a case of when not if), then focused on the woes of the US auto industry with GM, now equated with Gimmie Money or Government Motors, and finished by looking at the ever-deeper quagmire that AIG are in. Somewhere in the middle of all this, ECB President Trichet failed to rule out buying corporate bonds, though helicopter Jean Claude doesn't sound quite right. Read full article...

Is the Stock Market Rally Over? / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: INO
The S&P500 market, along with the other equity markets, rallied sharply and created a massive gain of 20% in a matter of weeks. This is the biggest and fastest gain that these indices have seen since the 1930s.
So the question is: Is the move over, or is this the pause that refreshes?

Stock Markets Blue Monday / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Harry_Boxer
It was a blue Monday to start off the week, yet another negative Monday in an ongoing bear market after a 2 1/2-week rally. They gave it all back with a sharp gap down at the opening, made lower lows for the next hour or two, but bounced and held 1205, which is key 6-day support on the NDX. The NDX made lower lows but was not confirmed by the SPX, and late in the day they had a snapback, short-covering type rally.Read full article... Read full article...

Better than Gold, My Favorite Way to Protect Against Inflation / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Q1_Publishing
The U.S. Treasury Secretary said something very disturbing this weekend. It wasn't about the bank bailout though. It wasn't about how the administration decided to draw a line between bank and automaker CEOs. It wasn't about how a concrete deal for ongoing free trade (or anything else tangible or enforceable) will be reached at the G20 meeting. Read full article... Read full article...

The Physics of bouncing Dead Cats: Will DJIA pierce 6547 this time? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bull Market
By: Andrew_Butter
March 14, 2009 Professor Nouriel Roubini wrote a piece: Reflections on the latest dead cat bounce or bear market sucker's rally. Well he could be right, certainly the rally looked busted on Friday and grim on Monday,. plus Tom Dryden pointed out yesterday that those bank profits were thanks to a scam; someone called it a "fraud bounce" http://seekingalpha.com/article/128390-exclusive-big-banks-recent-profitab (but aren't bank profits always thanks to some sort of scam).

Nasdaq Q's in Correction / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
As it turned out, last week the Q's (Nasdaq: QQQQ) failed to hurdle multi-month resistance at 31.40/70 and instead have embarked on a correction that so far has returned the price structure for a test of its rising 9-day AMA (now at 29.73). However, judging from the juxtaposition of the RSI and Slow Stochastics, we should expect the Q's to press lower into the 29.00 area prior to the next sustained upmove within its larger, base-like intermediate-term recovery period. Any intervening rally strength should be thwarted in the 30.20/40 area, after which the Q's likely will loop to the downside for a run at 29.00 to complete the correction off of Thursday high a 31.46.Read full article...

Stock Market Seasonal Inversion Patterns / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Captain_Hook
The Boys From Brazil - As postured on these pages for some time now, seasonal inversions in trading patterns of markets tend to occur in mature markets due to sentiment / structural irregularities. In the case of the US stock market, what has essentially occurred is because the general investing population has been ‘dumbed down' due to excessively good economic conditions over an extended period, along with powerful mind-numbing corporate propaganda, their aversion to risk has been dangerously tempered.

Stock Market Rally has Bearish Underpinnings / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Doug_Wakefield
We Are Driven - Taken for the Ride of Our Life - Over the last few weeks, the very bearish technical readings in daily sentiment have reversed. A few days ago, the US Census Bureau reported that, after sinking to the lowest level on record in January, sales of newly constructed homes rose unexpectedly in February, rebounding nearly 5%. The Commerce Department reported that durable orders jumped 3.4%. Clearly, if these numbers are not revised, which is increasingly frequent with government stats lately, they are positive signs for the beginning of a recovery. The day they were released, the Dow moved up more than 200 points its first hour of trading, and since March 9th we've seen a rally of almost 1400 points. Why be bearish now? Why not jump on board?

Short Selling Uptick Rule to Return, But Keep It Simple / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Frank_Holmes
It looks like an uptick rule for short selling will soon be back in place, but let's hope it's not the version being sought by the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange.
The two exchanges and others are pushing a proposal that is overloaded with conditions that must be met before a particular stock becomes subject to the rule, and even then the rule's reach would be limited.

Stocks Bear Market Targets Dow 2,122 and S&P 409 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Submissions
Glenn Thorpe writes: Charts of the DJIA and the SP500 provide a much clearer picture when they are inflation adjusted. This is achieved simply by dividing the index by the CPI at each date. To correlate the two indices the SP500 can be adjusted to equal the the DJIA on 3 Jan 1950, the date the SP500 was created.Read full article... Read full article...

Stocks Bull Market 2009? / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Money_Morning
William Patalon III writes: Is it “Bull Market 2009?”
The answer to that question depends on whether you believe the three-week surge we've just been through is the start of a prolonged advance for U.S. stocks, or was just the kind of “ dead-cat bounce ” fake-out move that temporarily interrupts a protracted bear-market decline.
