Protect Your Wealth, Your Money Could Be Worth 39% Less Than You Think! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Larry_Edelson
These days it seems that almost everyone I know is playing it ultra safe in their investments. Generally, that’s a good thing that I whole-heartedly endorse.
But with Washington and the Federal Reserve hell bent on devaluing the dollar — and succeeding at it — being safe with your investments is one of the most dangerous, riskiest things you can do.

U.S. Stocks to be Steered by Dollar and Europe's Ireland Debt Crisis / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes:
Stocks retreated over the past week following an earnings warning from tech giant Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO), renewed tensions in Europe over the ability of Ireland to pay its debts and a surge in the U.S. dollar.
Overlaying the action was word out of South Korea that the G-20 meeting of leaders of the world's largest economies was not going well, with European and Asian leaders expressing exasperation with U.S. monetary stimulus and a distaste for U.S. President Barack Obama's scolding tone on export targets.

U.S. Dollar Continues to Control Gold, Crude Oil and Stocks / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Over the past few months it seems as though everything has been tied to the dollar. Simple inter-market analysis makes it obvious that almost everything in the financial market eventually has an affect on stocks and commodities in some way. But recently trading has really been all about the dollar. If you watch the SP500 and gold prices you will notice at times virtually every tick the dollar makes directly affects the price and direction of gold and the SP500 index.

Three Secrets to Picking Winning Small Cap Stocks in This Market / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Investment_U
Louis Basenese writes: So, Lou… are you worried about buying small-cap stocks now, given the market’s huge run-up?”
This was the question that Frank Curzio put to me, as I was being interviewed on S&A Radio last week.

Stock Market Trending for a Top or Just Quantitative Selling? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: JD_Rosendahl
The stock markets are very over bought on the daily time frame and due for some corrective behavior. The question has to be what part of the cycle will this corrective behavior fill? Is it a major top? Or just simple corrective selling pressure post run up to quantitative easing?
There are two Elliott Wave counts that seem to be very common. The bullish and bearish view!

Stock Market Elliott Wave Count Weekend Update / Stock-Markets / Elliott Wave Theory
By: Tony_Caldaro
After last week’s good performance, (+3.25%), the equity market gave back some of its gains with its worse weekly performance since the second week of August. Economic reports for the week were all either positive or improving. The trade/budget deficits improved, import/export prices were positive, and consumer sentiment rose, along with wholesale inventories and weekly mortgage applications. Weekly jobless claims declined, the WLEI and M1 multiplier improved, while the monetary base held steady.

Stock Market Dow Theory Update / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Tim_Wood
When it comes to Dow theory, there seems to be no shortage of opinion, but most often, that opinion is wrong. This is largely because of the fact that very few people have actually read and studied the original material by Charles H. Dow, William Peter Hamilton and Robert Rhea. Without that background, one cannot truly understand Dow theory.
Of late I have been asked whether or not the bettering of the April highs triggered a so-called “Dow theory buy signal.” Before I answer this question, it deserves a full explanation.

Health-Care Realities, The Chinese Renminbi is Going Down, Not Up / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010

Health-Care Realities
The Chinese Renminbi is Going Down, Not Up
First, Let's Lower the Bar
They Need to Borrow How Much? Really?
Irish Eyes Are Not Smiling
China's currency is rising ever so slowly against the dollar. But is that hurting China? We will look at a very interesting chart and some research. And then we'll gain some more insight into why the employment numbers seemed to surprise. I guess if you lower the bar, it's easier to jump over. I also deal with the pushback from last week's Outside the Box! And Ireland is on my radar. There is a lot to cover, so let's jump in.

Demystifying the S&P 1228 Target that Killed the Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: David_Knox_Barker
If you were not looking for an important potential market top in the 20-week cycle, that was anticipated to be running long, on November 8, as the market closed in on the S&P 500 target of 1228, you must not be familiar with the Long Wave Dynamics approach to market analysis. The Long Wave Dynamics (LWD) approach recognizes that Fibonacci forces exert powerful but trackable forces on market cycles in both price and time.

Stock Market Negative Finish to Worst Week Since August / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a down day to end the week. They suffered sharp losses in the morning, although they did bounce back in the afternoon part of the session to take back a chunk of the losses, especially on the Nasdaq 100. But the S&P 500 didn't fare too well during the comeback and was only able to snapback 5 points, still ending down, just under 1200.

Contrary Opinion and the Fear Factor / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Submissions
Wink Twyman writes: Last week, I turned on CNBC in the early morning hours. Anchor Sue Herera was in a bubbly mood. She said that, after the market’s performance that week, one commentator said, “You ain’t seen nothing yet!” Because I am jaded on media coverage, I immediately took Herera’s cheerleading as a signal that the top was close at hand. It occurred to me that the average investor and trader might take Herera’s words to heart, rush out to Scottrade or Charles Schwab, and plunk down their hard-earned money on “black,” I mean, the stock of their choice because the market was now safe.

Stock Market Intermediate Term Decline Underway / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Steven_Vincent
I've been seeing technical divergences for weeks now and so far no real pullback has resulted. The major indices have now taken out the April highs and have been trading at those levels for about a week now. As a result there are now across the board technical divergences within the context of the rise off the August bottom as well as divergences between the April high and current prices.

Stock Market Selling Finally Here... A Look Ahead... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
It took long enough but the selling has finally kicked in for this market. It has done so in a pretty strong way, especially after today's move lower where the very heavy majority of stocks finished in the red. Finally some widespread selling across the board, which is something that has been missing for some time now as the bears tried unsuccessfully to take this market down. The selling isn't likely done for a while longer as any small bounce up early next week off of oversold 60-minute charts should be sold off again with the market likely testing down to those 50-day exponential moving averages before any further attempt is made to move higher once again. It's extremely normal for markets to test those 50-day exponential moving averages. What does matter is how the market reacts on those oscillators to the buying that will occur off those 50-day tests.

Stock Market Brief Profit Taking or New Wall of Worry? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Sy_Harding
Most of the bricks in the previous wall of worry have been removed.
Economic reports have continued to improve over recent weeks; in manufacturing, the service sector, retail sales, durable goods orders, and even in the employment picture, where 151,000 new jobs were created in October, more than double the 70,000 that economists expected.

G20 Summit, Yet Another Global Cluster F*ck / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
Why should we be surprised?
The last G20 meeting ended in chaos, the same nonsense that triggered a flight into commodities in Q3 as Global investors lost faith in ALL of the World leaders to be able to solve ANY of the many problems that face the Global Economy. Why should this time be different as the current conference broke up with NOTHING accomplished other than to promise to get right on these issues at next year's meeting. REALLY? Do we look like a planet that has another 6 months to wait for you to do something???

Stock Market Remains Vulnerable Short-Term / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Chris_Ciovacco
On November 9th, in the Dollar, Euro, Gold, Silver, and the VIX are Poised for Reversals, we outlined numerous concerns related to the elevated odds of short-to-intermediate term reversal of the “risk-on” trade. The elements remain in place for a market correction. However, the door remains open to higher highs in stocks. A high volume down day on Friday with declines of greater than 1% in the major averages would increase the odds of a one–to-three week pullback.

Has the Stock Market Internet Index Peaked ? if so, What Now? / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks
By: Garry_Abeshouse
I have chosen to highlight the Internet Index at this time, as it represents the business sector that dominates the hearts, minds and the deep wallets of Gen Y - those born during or after the 1980's. It is ironic that prior to the 1980's the stock market was dominated by companies making the necessities of life, while you might say that the stockmarket of today is dominated by companies dealing with services that we are told we cannot live without.Read full article...
