Gold Daily and Silver Gathering Storm / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Jesse
"Some touch of the artist wells up within me, and calls insistently for a well-staged performance. Surely our profession, Mr. Mac, would be a drab and sordid one if we did not sometimes set the scene so as to glorify our results. The blunt accusation, the brutal tap upon the shoulder - what can one make of such a denouement?
But the quick inference, the subtle trap, the clever forecast of coming events, the triumphant vindication of bold theories - are these not the pride and the justification of our life's work? At the present moment you thrill with the glamour of the situation and the anticipation of the hunt. Where would be that thrill if I had been as definite as a timetable?” - Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes: The Valley of Fear

Stock Market Turns Down After Two-Day Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a turn-around day after a two-day rally. They retraced and are doing some retesting here, ending the day on a sour note. The day started out with a pop to the upside, they made new highs on the Nasdaq 100, but the S&P 500 failed to confirm. When that occurred, they came down hard, formed bear wedges, and by midday were headed lower. In the afternoon there was a steady sell off in stair-step fashion, and they closed near the lows for the day going away.

S&P 500 Back Testing...Retail Crushed.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
The market can confuse the best of them. No one could have seen today coming after we broke out yesterday on the S&P 500 with its move above the 20-day exponential moving average at 2069. It had traded between the 20- and 50-day exponential moving averages for a few days, but then suddenly made the move up, although there didn't seem to be a good reason to do so. Since earnings are poor along with a plethora of other problems it made little sense to make the move, although the trend is clearly higher. That said, the move was made and it was made with some force as we closed at 2084, nearly one percent above.Read full article... Read full article...

Investing 101: Be Patient When Markets Are Looking For A Trend / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: InvestingHaven
There is nothing as powerful as a market that is trending. Think of the U.S. stock market in 2013/2014, or gold in 2010/2011. For short sellers, the crude oil market in 2015 was a wet dream.
What we currently see, however, is a neutral market. There is no trend, and that is by far THE most difficult thing to deal with, at least for the majority of investors. In a trendless environment, investors feel the need to “do something”. When you think about logically, you will conclude that it is better to give trendless markets time so they can choose a direction. While that is correct in theory, it appears not as simple in reality. Does that sound familiar?

By: Nicholas_Kitonyi
Investors can never shy away from the stock market because of the several benefits that come with investing in income generating assets. However, over the last few quarters, this market has been greatly affected by the non-income generating assets such as commodities and currencies.
Even the most popular stocks have not been spared in this case.

Sun TzuThis index gives one an idea of how the global economy is doing; it combines the economic information of 30 of the world’s largest companies.

Stocks Bull Market Is Exhausted; Make the Move to Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: The_Gold_Report
Legendary investor Stan Druckenmiller, founder of Duquesne Capital Management LLC, told the Sohn Investment Conference in New York last week that he is bullish on gold and bearish on the stock market. Gold, he told the conference, "is our largest currency allocation."
Druckenmiller recommended that investors sell their equity holdings. "The bull market is exhausting itself," he told the conference. A major factor has been the Federal Reserve's easy money policy, which has resulted in "reckless" corporate behavior.

A Perspective on the Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
I wanted to do a survey of the major domestic stock indices to get a “feel” for where we may be.
The first is the NDX, which has the cleanest pattern. Note the clear (no overlap) pattern in the decline. This decline begs to be extended in a series of impulsive declines. In a measured decline, the NDX may drop to 3724.00, below both the February and the August lows.
