Stock Market Corrections Are Beautiful - Shop At The Gap / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
A correction is a beautiful thing, simply the flip side of a rally, big or small. Theoretically, even technically I'm told, corrections adjust equity prices to their actual value or "support levels". In reality, it's much easier than that.

Europe Detonates Nuclear Option, Prints $1 Trillion, Sparks Renewed Market Euphoria / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis Bailouts
The unprecedented $1 trillion EU bailout and printing money to buy bonds package has led to renewed risk appetite. It has seen equity markets surge in a euphoric buying splurge (European stock markets are up between 4% and 11%) and the euro has strengthened against most currencies (see Cross Currency table). Gold has fallen 0.8% in dollar terms and by more in other currencies and the bouncing euro.Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Extreme Volatility Continues Below S&P 500 1150...... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
The past few days have been something you don't see very often. 2000 point swings in the Dow each day. It really does blow your mind to watch this type of volatility on consecutive days. Not the normal behavior for sure, and the fact that it's taking place below critical support at 1150 S&P 500 on high volume, doesn't exactly bode well for the bulls short-term at the very least. When markets are ready to change course, we often see violent moves. The side that was enjoying the trend is fighting to keep it alive. The new side taking over will have nothing to do that. Then comes the massive moves on a daily basis that will more than make your head spin. So what can we take from this action overall?

Silver Continues to Underperform, Failing to Clear Strong Resistance / Stock-Markets / Gold and Silver 2010
You have to feel a little sorry for silver. It has been suffering from an identity crisis - it can't make up its mind whether it's an industrial metal or a Precious Metal. You could see this on Thursday when as gold surged and the stockmarket tanked, it hardly moved. It was like a bewildered child at a country crossroads not knowing whether to follow its big brother gold and take the high road, or to follow the man with the candy and take the low road.

Did Bankster's Crash the Stock Market to Send a Message to Congress? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
In Conspiracy Fact or Theory news we ask our readers to consider the possibility that the 1000 point crash and subsequent recovery within a 30 minute time period was not a “fat finger” mistake, but rather, a clear message to our lawmakers that someone else, and not the American people, is in charge of America. This was a $1 trillion dollar move in stock markets, do you really buy that it was an accident as reported by the mainstream?

Don't Blink Or You Will Miss The Stock Market Crash! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
The Dow Crashed on Thursday
The bottom line is that NO ONE SAW THURSDAYS CRASH Coming - NO ONE! Because it is Impossible to Forecast Stock Market Crashes as I have iterated several times over the years and in the Inflation Mega-trend Ebook. Anyone that says they saw it coming are giving you a load of B.S.

Fed Fraud and Stock Market Crash Bamboozles Investors / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous." --- Carl Sagan
That’s exactly what has happened, the United States government in cahoots with the Federal Reserve and a number of the world’s central banks, conspired to defraud the vast majority of human beings out of their wealth. The fraud began back in 1913 with the creation of the IRS and Federal Reserve, and for decades was confined to the US.

The Stock Market Trend is Broken / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
In my last newsletter several weeks ago, I noted a continued bullish trend. However, I also said that:
“Despite the market's bullish trend, I continue to be cashed out of most of the stock market and have shifted a significant chunk of my assets into a new piece of real estate.”

Goldman Sachs Rigged Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
Last week, Goldman Sachs was on the congressional hot seat, grilled for fraud in its sale of complicated financial products called “synthetic CDOs.” This week the heat was off, as all eyes turned to the attack of the shorts on Greek sovereign debt and the dire threat of a sovereign Greek default. By Thursday, Goldman’s fraud had slipped from the headlines and Congress had been cowed into throwing in the towel on its campaign to break up the too-big-to-fail banks. On Friday, Goldman was in settlement talks with the SEC.

Stock Market Rational Panic - Where Are We? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
Honestly, it may actually be time for Prechter to be mostly right. I love the guy and his rational arguments. I just hate that he doesn't accept Gold as real money that will be sought as a safe haven more than the U.S. Dollar. If you take his arguments for Armageddon in the stock market and price the stock market in Gold, the guy's already been right for a decade! For some reason, the cognitive dissonance he should be feeling with Gold isn't enough yet for him to recognize and let everyone know he made a mistake about Gold. Gold is a safer haven currency than the U.S. Dollar because it is real money and doesn't require a debt backing or faith in governments to do the right thing (which, of course, they won't).
