Though many who commentated on breakfast, I mean Brexit end up confusing the two. "Brexit means Breakfast". Anyway we shall soon find out exactly what BrExit means....

Stock Market Dow Closes 2016 Up 13.4% Confounding Perma Bear Doom Merchants For 8th Year! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
The Dow Jones stock market index closed 2016 up 2338 points at 19,763, up 13.4% for year confounding the doom merchants who saw every surprise event of 2016 from Januarys oil price collapse to Britain's Brexit EU Referendum vote to America's very own self professed Mr BrExit, Donald Trump shocking the American establishment elite by winning the US Presidential election, all and more were apparently definite harbingers for a stock market apocalypse, reaching their most vocal just as the stocks bottomed and surged higher.

SPX Stock Market Flash Crash May be Developing / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Crash
SPX cleared and retested Intermediate-term support/resistance now at 2256.83 this morning. It was a pleasant surprise to see it begin a new impulse lower. Although shallow, the new impulse tells us that there is room to decline. It is also a prime candidate for a flash crash as early as today. If the decline remains impulsive and gains momentum, we may see a low as early as Tuesday mid-day. SPX is on a sell signal.

Major Stocks Bear Market Still Looms / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
The US stock markets spectacularly defied the odds in 2016, soaring after both the UK’s Brexit vote and US presidential election. Both actual outcomes were universally feared as very bearish for stocks before the events. These contrary stock rallies have left traders feeling euphoric, convinced stock markets are impregnable. But with stock valuations hitting bubble levels in an exceedingly-old bull, a major bear still looms.

Trump, BrExit, Crude Oil, Stocks Bull - Most Popular Market Oracle Videos of 2016 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
2016 is about to come to an end that featured two unexpected shock political events of Britain's EU Referendum BrExit vote that literally no one in the mainstream press, political elite, markets or bookies saw come, and then there was Trump winning the US Presidency, which again shocked the establishment elite. Whilst in the financial markets, the crude oil prices trend garnered much popular interest as the early year oil price collapse had pushed many oil producers towards the edge of economic collapse. And again the BrExit and Trump factors induced much market uncertainty as the consensus expectations were that both events would result in an end of the 7 year long stocks bull market, which instead resulted in the exact opposite trends to a series of new all time highs.

Stock Market Impulse Wave Down... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
It now appears that SPX has completed its first impulse down to 2244.56 and appears capable of bouncing either to Intermediate term resistance at 2254.48 or to the trendline near 2260.00 in a partial retracement. It may take another hour or so to complete its bounce, then reverse into a probable Wave 3 in the final hour of the day.

In 2017 Be the Bank / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2017
Dear Parader,
In our last edition before the New Year, I share an overview of an interesting and easy way to get a better return on your money. What’s most important, it allows you to largely side-step the risk and volatility inherent in stock and bond markets.
We then conclude with an approach you might want to consider using for difficult people and negative relationships that crop up in your life.
As I write, sitting at the dining table at our family house in Vermont, the snow has kicked up. If I skied, I might want to head to the mountain. But as I don’t, I am content to stay indoors and dream of returning to the sunnier climes of Cafayate, Argentina, which I will do tomorrow morning.

The “war on terror” continues...
The US and the North Atlantic Terrorist Organization (NATO) attacked Libya and Syria and began transporting Muslims to Europe as a means of destabilization.

Market Trends Generated By Jubilee 2016 Will Continue Into 2017 And Beyond / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2017
There were numerous trends established or maintained in 2016. In fact, the seeds planted in 2016 from Jubilee Year are bound to sprout in 2017 or 2018 with the kind of chaos and economic destruction that will give rise to further globalism.
Gold, silver and bitcoin as we have regularly commented, are the assets to consider as we approach grimmer times. (A little more on repercussions at the end of this analysis.)

Financial Markets 2016: A Year for Contrarians; 2017 Shaping Up That Way as Well / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2017
2016 was the year I finally decided to codify my niche as a psychology-focused market contrarian, putting the Alice, Red Queen and Rabbit components of NFTRH’s logo right there on my inner forearm, forever.
This is because I love the imagery and themes of NFTRH’s guiding metaphorical story, Alice in Wonderland, and because the weird technical tools I use are generally in service to one thing; being right when the herds are going the wrong way. The concept originally came to me as the markets were beginning their descent into the crash of 2008 as the newly launched market management service needed a view that was apart from the emotional herds then preparing to go down the drain. Alice’s quote (Lewis Carroll), a portion of which occupies my other inner forearm was perfect in this regard…

6 Charts That Show We Are in a Long-Term Stocks Secular Bear Market / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
As I look out over the coming years, I am convinced that we’ll see the blowing up of the biggest bubbles in history—including those of government debt and government promises. And it’s not just in the US, but all over the world.
That will lead to an eventual global crisis of biblical proportions. Although, it isn’t clear what the immediate cause of the crisis will be.
