By: Money_Morning

Stock Market Nasty Trading Session / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets

By: Harry_Boxer

A very nasty session, starting off with a sharp move down and then morning consolidation patterns that appeared very much to be bear-flag consolidations, and sure enough by mid-day when they started breaking the patterns the indices went quickly lower. They retested the lows, tried to bounce around that level, but was rather anemic, and in the afternoon they rolled over sharply. With about 15 minutes to go they were sharply lower at the lows for the day, down nearly 700 on the Dow, 78 on the SPX ,but a very sharp late snapback in the last 15-20 minutes, perhaps fueled by short covering, brought the Nasdaq 100 back about 35 points and the S&P 500 about 25 points, before they settled back a bit.

Sell into the Stocks Bear Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market

By: David_Petch

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAnalysis of the S&P 500 Index is presented today, with a slight tweaking of the Elliott Wave count. I have spent a big chunk of time reviewing the $CPC chart posted yesterday, along with the wave structure and am confident the described pattern is what will play out. There is a tradable bottom 1-2 weeks out, but a low should be established by mid to late week. Expect basing for 1-2 weeks before commencing a multi-month rally that should last until March or April 2009 (if the partial retracement is extremely rapid, then late December becomes the target).

Debt Slavery is the Real Reason Behind the Bail-Out / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis Bailouts

By: John_Olagues

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleI was just listening to Ron Paul on the latest Bail-Out of banks. He disapproved of the Bail-Out because he claims that it will destroy the financial system as we know it by destroying the dollar's value and creating hyper-inflation.

Ron Paul said "you can not just create trillions of dollars out of thin air without creating inflation". Paul's conclusions are based upon the idea of demand pull inflation. This means a situation where excess amounts of money are chasing a static or near static amount of goods and services.

Definitive Stock Market Down-Day on Wall Street / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets

By: Harry_Boxer

The stock market had a volatile and negative session today. The indices were all over the place, but ended up near the lows for the day going away. The day started out with a big gap down on negative futures,they immediately rallied to come right back up to retest the highs of late Friday, but failed right there, sold off sharply and by mid-day were at the session lows at that point.

Has the Steamroller Rolled Over Options Trading Programs? / Stock-Markets / Options & Warrants

By: Mack_Frankfurter

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis Article“In days of old, seers entered a trance state and then informed anxious seekers what kind of mood the gods were in, and whether this was an auspicious time to begin a journey, get married, or start a war. The prophets of Israel repaired to the desert and then returned to announce whether Yahweh was feeling benevolent or wrathful. Today The Market's fickle will is clarified by daily reports from Wall Street and other sensory organs of finance.

Stock Market Bottom Picking Thrill Seekers / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets

By: Brady_Willett

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWith the U.S. bailout script now being adopted globally and panic-driven selling abating, a period of calm (albeit perhaps temporarily) has settled over the financial markets.  What better time to talk about the next round of stimulus:

“…with the economy likely to be weak for several quarters, and with some risk of a protracted slowdown, consideration of a fiscal package by the Congress at this juncture seems appropriate.” Bernanke.  Economic outlook and financial markets. October 20, 2008

Stock Markets Start Week with a Boost / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets

By: Harry_Boxer

The indices had a terrific start to the week. Although they were up early on they pulled back down quite quickly, with the NDX actually breaking Friday's support lows, but the S&P 500 did not and refused to confirm that early drop. When that occurred they reversed, and then went into a steady 5-wave rally which spiked up into the close, closing at the highs for the day going away.

Understanding Derivatives to Understand the Credit Crisis / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008

By: Rob_Kirby

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleLike it or not we hear the term “derivatives” bandied about in the mainstream financial press these days with increasing regularity.

In recent times it has come to be a term that, when mentioned in conjunction with a particular financial institution, can cause loss of confidence or worse, maybe a herd-like run on deposits [or policies] on the offending institution.

After the Market Crash Liquidity Starts to Repair Banking System / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008

By: Paul_J_Nolte

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAnother historical week – the largest one day decline since the '87 crash and the largest one day gain since the '29 crash. OK, so the market is/has crashed – now what? Liquidity in the form of government and Federal Reserve funds are flooding the markets, buying nearly everything from bad bank debt to actual bank stock. Some have argued we are moving to a socialist society, but we'll leave the politics for someone else to discuss. Unfortunately the liquidity has not made it into the hands of those with loans outstanding or for those wanting to enter loan arrangements. The banking system is acting as a sponge, sopping up any and all liquidity it can find to repair very poor balance sheets.

Where The Heck Is The Stock Market Bottom? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market

By: Ronald_R_Cooke

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleA Logical Conclusion - One can make a case that sometime in 2010 our stock markets will “bottom out”. In this scenario, the DOW will decline below 5700 and the NASDAQ will fall under 430, after 33 to 35 months of highly volatile trading.

How did I reach this conclusion? Read on.

Stock Market Will Bottom Well Before the Economy / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market

By: Chris_Ciovacco

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleInvesting is really about risk management. When the odds are favorable, you expose some of your capital to the risk of loss in search of possible gains. The best time to invest is when both the technicals (charts) and fundamentals (valuations, future earning potential, etc.) are favorably aligned. There has never been and there never will be a time where the techncials and fundamentals are perfectly aligned, which is another way of saying there is always some form of risk in any financial market. It is simply the degree of risk which fluctuates.

By: Prieur_du_Plessis

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleBCA Research: Policymaker action finally hitting critical mass - “Fresh capital and government guarantees for bank liabilities are very positive signs that the credit crisis is nearing an end, although it will be a long road to recovery.

“Policymakers around the world have ‘pulled out the big guns' in their efforts to get the credit markets working again. Over the weekend, numerous European governments announced a massive bank bailout plan that includes funds for recapitalization, credit guarantees, and the purchase of troubled assets.

Investment Banks Turned Into Public Utilities / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis Bailouts

By: Mike_Whitney

Best Financial Markets Analysis Article"If you made it past the credit crisis, you are not making it past the economic carnage." Meredith A. Whitney, market analyst at Oppenheimer & Company

It worked. So far. The credit markets have begun to thaw. Overnight Libor (London Interbank Offered Rate) dropped 27 basis points to 1.67 percent, the lowest level since September 2004. Three month Libor shed 40 basis points this week to 4.42 percent. The Libor-OIS spread and TED spread are edging downward, too. The VIX, the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index---also known as the "fear index"--has skyrocketed to 80, a new record. But that is to be expected; after all, Wall Street is in a panic.

Those Responsible for the Credit Crisis Should Go to Jail / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008

By: Money_Morning

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleKeith Fitz-Gerald writes: By far, the No. 1 question I've received this week has been: Why aren't the guys who caused the credit-crisis meltdown headed for jail?

Personally, I believe these savings-sapping, market-mashing miscreants ought to be rotting at the bottom of a deep dark hole. At the very least, they should be impoverished and prevented from capitalizing any further on the chaos they caused, meaning no book deals or fruitful forms of tell-alls.
