By: Andre_Gratian
Very Long-term trend - The very-long-term cycles are down and if they make their lows when expected, the secular bear market which started in October 2007 should continue until about 2014-2015.

Dow Theory Stocks Bear Market Rally Update and Values / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Tim_Wood
At present, we have a Dow theory non-confirmation in place that began in mid-January. According to Dow theory, we must operate under the assumption that the previously established trend is still intact until it is reversed with a move above or below the previous secondary high or low point. In this case, a downside trend reversal would require a move below the previous secondary low point. Until such time, the primary trend change that occurred in conjunction with the March 2009 low still remains intact. Now, as for non-confirmations, they serve as warnings of a possible trend change. Non-confirmations do not mean that a trend change is inevitable, because it is possible that the non-confirmation can be corrected. It is also possible that the previous secondary high or low point will not be penetrated.

Stock Market Top at Technical Resistance? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: JD_Rosendahl
For the past few months, I've been calling for some kind of stock market top, with January 2011 as my preferred time frame. From the July 2010 lows to Thursday's close was a Fibonacci 144 days. Friday's minor new high might be the top I'm looking for.
For the past couple weeks I kept saying the market could test the 1,300 to 1,310 levels as part of that top. And last Thursday, Art Cashin said to watch the 1,303-1,304 resistance area: Watch S&P's New Resistance Are: Art Cashin

Stock Market Elliott Wave Analysis and Forecast for Week Starting 31st Jan / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Tony_Caldaro
During the past six trading days the market had cleared the Ops-Ex and the FOMC potential obstacles, but on friday ran into serious trouble with a lower than expected Q4 GDP. Just after the open on friday the SPX was at a new bull market high and up 1.6% on the week. After friday’s close it ended down 0.6% for the week. This week’s economic reports were more mixed than in recent weeks: seven improving and five weakening. The decliners were Case-Shiller housing prices, durable goods, the M1-multiplier, the WLEI, and a rise in jobless claims.

Making Money with Stocks: Two Big Things That Make All the Difference / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Profit_Confidential
Mitchell Clark writes: Being long the stock market is certainly paying off. In fact, it’s been paying off quite handsomely since the financial crisis low set in March 2009. Of course, the stock market is still in recovery mode. Share prices still aren’t back to their highs set over a decade ago. They’re getting closer, but, really, we’re only talking about breaking even. If it weren’t for dividends, most equity investors would have been in the red over the last 10 years.
There are two extremely important things that make all the difference for the equity investor. Time and timing.

Stock Market Top Ahead? These Two Stocks Say Yes / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Profit_Confidential
Michael Lombardi writes: While I hate to be the bearer of bad news, something is suddenly happening in the luxury high-end consumer market that stock analysts and economists have failed to pick up on.
Coach, Inc. (NYSE/COH), a seller of high-end leather handbags and a stock I follow closely to monitor consumer spending patterns on luxury items, yesterday reported that it made $303 million in its latest quarter on $1.26 billion in sales. Same-store sales climbed 13% and the company announced a $1.5-billion stock buyback program.

Strength Continues as S&P Tags New 2-Year Highs / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices started off today with a gap up. They pulled back and tested support, and then took off, setting new S&P 500 highs just under 1300. Nasdaq 100 exploded to a high of 2321.22, and then pulled back in the morning, tested support successfully, and then ran up to the highs on several occasions. It backed and filled all day, but could not get through, and then rolled over in the last 10 minutes.

Fed A Non Event for Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Jack_Steiman
Someone needs to enlighten me as to why many think the fed was going to begin speaking about, or hinting at, raising rates. The economy is the stock market. The stock market is rising, based on liquidity from the fed. Raise rates, and the liquidity supporting Qe2 goes away. So again, I don't get why people thought he would begin speaking about raising rates. It's not going to happen in 2011. If the stock market falls we go in to a double dip as the real economy is not recovering. It's supported by printed dollars.

Markets Forecasts 2011 Follow Through - Economies And Equities / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: HRA_Advisory
As usual, most of the first Journal issue of the year is given over to that annual exercise in masochism known as predictions for the year. We note several potential problems but, overall, we think the markets should be ok, and the sector we deal with will be more than ok.
There has been a small pullback to start the year as those who waiting for the next tax year to book profits have been putting stock in the market. We won’t be surprised if the pullback gets deeper before it’s over but we are not concerned about it.

Stock Market Holds Support...Bounces... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Jack_Steiman
The difference between a bull market and a bear market is action such as you saw today. The overall market holds up, while froth stocks continue to mostly head lower and continue their correction off their most recent tops. The market is bifurcated and that's never great news. The Dow is well out performing while the Nasdaq is well under performing. That's simply because the highest froth and P/E stocks live in the Nasdaq. That won't be changing any time soon, thus, the correction to the down side should remain mostly in technology. That doesn't mean the overall market won't take a hit as well but the biggest damage will be in the land of technology.

Stock Market Breakdowns and Divergences Signal Trouble Ahead / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Anthony_J_Stills
This week was notable for the official state visit of the Chinese President, Hu Jintao, to American soil. I liken it to the landlord coming to visit his tenants. The visit lasted three days and I saw little in the way of news and comments among the usual suspects. In fact as Hu boarded the plane, these were the headlines on www.msn.com:
- 18 Commandments foe a Bangin Body
- The Surprising Secret for Increasing Passion
- Frigid Weather
- America’s Most Dangerous Jobs
- Taking Justice into Their Own Hands (Phoenix Jones considers himself a superhero)

Jon D. Markman writes:
Last week had its ups and downs, but some winners emerged. Consumer staples and technology companies had strong showings. But in determining which companies will continue to succeed going forward, there are three important risk factors to consider.
Stocks reacted to the first big week of earnings with a surprisingly mixed-up performance, as large-cap value stocks rose 0.7% while mid-caps fell 0.7% and small-caps fell 2.4%.

Global Stock Markets Over Extended and Running Out of Steam / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Garry_Abeshouse
First cab off the rank and probably one of the biggest bull markets ever experienced in a western equity market index over a two year period in the history of the stock market, would have to be the Canadian TSX Mining Index, which rose from 177 to 1568, a rise of 786% since November 2008. By comparison, the Sydney Metals and Minerals index rose from 370 in 1959 to around 5400 in January 1970 – a rise of 1360% over the last 11 years of Australia’s mining boom.
