Prepare for a Stock-Market Reversal, Even at New Bull-Market Highs / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes:
In a stunning display of determination (or simple greed), U.S. stock prices are once again at new highs - despite problems in the Middle East, out-of-control government deficits throughout the world, an increasingly inflated China and the looming end to the U.S. Federal Reserve's free-money boondoggle, otherwise known as "QE2."

Dow Jones Transportation Stock Index Rolls to Record High / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes:
The biggest news of the week for me was the fantastic earnings report from railroad Norfolk Southern Corp. (NYSE: NSC), which pushed the Dow Jones Transportation Average to a new record high.
Think about that. New. All-Time. High. For the transports. The transports! When crude oil prices are pressing $112 a barrel. When the economy is limping along at an annualized growth rate of less than 2%. When the bears said we should be diving for cover.

Stock Market May be Ready for a Correction / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Andre_Gratian
Very Long-term trend –he continuing strength in the indices is causing me to question whether we are in a secular bear market or two consecutive bull/bear cycles. In any case, the very-long-term cycles are down and, if they make their lows when expected, there will be another steep and prolonged decline into 2014-16.
Long-term trend - In March 2009, the SPX began an upward move in the form of a bull market. Cycles and P&F projections point to a continuation of this trend for several more months.

Stock Market Bull Marches On.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Jack_Steiman
It was an interesting week for the stock market. It had the big news from fed Bernanke on how he would deal with rising inflation that seems to be getting a bit out of control. The Government tries hard to down play how bad things are by saying inflation isn't so bad if you REMOVE food and energy. Makes you laugh with how stupid that is. Shows you how little respect they have for anyone. Food and energy are the two most important aspects of one's life, but we won't count it. We do as citizens, however, and it's really getting insane out there. Fed Bernanke told the world that, although inflation is moving higher, he is far more fearful of the dreaded D word, deflation.

The Bernanke Speaks... Says Little..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Jack_Steiman
And that's how you know he did a great job. He wanted to say as little as possible because it was in his best interest to keep things just as they are right now. He wants to keep the stock market humming along. Don't disrupt what isn't broken because it's a healthy stock market that makes him look good. A healthy market means a healthier than thought possible Main Street. Main Street would be a ghost town if it weren't for his monetary policy of pump, pump, and pump some more. Pumping dollars that is. He told us at 12:15 Eastern Time that things will remain status quo. No real changes. Monetary policy will remain favorable. Rate hikes are not in the immediate future.

How to Use Capital Flows to Turn the Economy's Job Losses Into Portfolio Gains / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Money_Morning
Shah Gilani, writes:
Even though the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 8.8% in March from 10.1% at the height of the Great Recession, sidelined investors are still waiting for better news.
But what they don't realize is that it's a mistake to wait. Instead, what they should be doing is using so-called "capital flows," or the global trends that dictate the flow of investment dollars, to find new profit opportunities.

Stocks Stealth Bull Market Still Dragging Stocks Higher / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes:
The bull market in stocks may be getting long in the tooth, but it's still intact. That was evidenced by strong earnings and rising valuations last week.
Stocks finished an uplifting week on Wall Street on Thursday by gapping higher after earnings reports from industrial heavyweights as diverse as Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) and Honeywell (HON) showed that companies have used the slowdown in the economy to become more efficient -- earning incrementally more income on incrementally less revenue.

Japan versus USA: Same Economic Depression with a Lag / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Adam_Brochert
Charts speak more eloquently than I can and they speak a brutal truth. Perhaps it is my scientific background or perhaps I appreciate the art that can be found in price charts. In either case, I prefer the message of charts to CNBC blowhards and other so-called experts.
Anyone who currently has excess savings they want to invest is in the minority of the world's population. They are also likely "rich" and "evil" according to populist sentiment. In any case, these aren't the best of times for advanced/Western economies.

Fed QE Money Printing and the Stock Market SPX Index / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Zeal_LLC
In just a couple months, the US Federal Reserve’s second quantitative-easing campaign will wind down. This program has been highly controversial since its birth, so the Fed is under tremendous pressure not to launch a third round of QE. And if QE2 indeed ends on schedule this quarter, it has major implications for the US stock markets.

Stock Market Too Many Similarities to a Year Ago! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Sy_Harding
Exactly a year ago today the stock market was celebrating first-quarter earnings reports, reaching for new highs, after recovering from a stumble in February on concerns about situations outside the U.S., notably rising inflation in Asia and the debt crisis in Europe.

Stock Market New High is Possible / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Bob_Clark
As the stock market starts to buck, investors wonder what is going to happen next. My analysis suggests that there may be one more new high left before we see a bigger correction.
Tuesday evening we got the latest earnings numbers from Intel and IBM and they were well received. Now the question is. Will good earnings be enough to get prices moving back up?

Intel Ignites Stock Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Jack_Steiman
Going into the earnings reports last night the focus was clearly on International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), the beast of the big boys. This stock had been on fire and was rocking on all cylinders. No one thought the focus of the evening should be on perennial loser Intel. Always disappointing the street. Always saying things are alright but never wonderful. The stock couldn't get out of its own way lately. So we had a blasting IBM and a disappointing Intel. What happens? IBM is great, but not really great, which means it was time for a small breather in the stock price. On the other hand, Intel pulled some magic out of their hat with a powerful report that included increasing margins, and looked better for the future. The result? Intel exploded, and many of the technology stocks are on a rocket ride after hours. The market is once again doing something no one, including yours truly, would have expected as even remotely possible.

Debt Fears...Sentiment...Stock Market Lower....Nothing From Nothing.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Jack_Steiman
The market uses excuses to get its dirty work done. It tells you when things need to happen by using news to move in a certain direction, even if that same news a month or so back would have done nothing to move it. When a market needs to get something done there is nothing you can do to stop it from happening. There was news today expressing some doubt as to whether the United States will be able to pay its debt. This same news has hit other countries with an initial sell off being bought heavily over time because their markets were bullish in nature. The news really isn't anything new to anyone. We all know this by now, but again, the market needed to move lower and it used this excuse to get the job done. Sentiment is just too bullish short-term, and thus, the selling from news that would have had no effect not too long ago. The excuse. The catalyst if you will.

FTSE 100 Stocks Index Forecast 2011 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The following text is excerpted form the NEW The Stocks Stealth Bull Market Update 2011 70 page ebook is available for FREE Download. Whilst the US economy is expected to outperform the UK across most key measures for the whole of 2011 and probably several more years beyond, which on face value implies lack of performance for the FTSE. However the FTSE is not exactly an index that tracks the prospects for the British economy as over the years the FTSE has incorporated waves of foreign companies listed on the London Stock Exchange that have very little if any activity in the UK such as the big central asian, african and australian mining companies, much more so than any other leading country index such as the Dow, Dax or CAC.
