Stock Market Crash Risk, Geronimo! / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: John_Browne
As a former army parachutist with a bad head for heights, I recall standing in the doorway of an aircraft while my jumping instructor shouted: "Don't look down!" He understood that my unease with parachuting combined with the sight of thousands of feet of open air could be enough to elicit panic. Many investors in today's American stock and bond markets appear to be getting the same advice. While in my predicament, I had a parachute and a rudimentary understanding of how to use it, I fear that American investors have nothing to break their fall. Read full article... Read full article...

Financial Crisis Triggered Shock and Awe Response for Accounting Driven Recovery / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2010
By: Gordon_T_Long
SHOCK & AWE
Beginning in October 2007, the world has survived a Financial Crisis like no other in modern times. It is the first truly Global Financial Crisis ever experienced. This crisis brought to light a vast array of financial instruments (CDO’s, CDS’s, CLO’s, etc.) being offered by murky financial entities (SIV’s, VIE’s, SPE’s, QSPE’s etc.) that were completely unregulated, often offshore, always off balance sheet and never traded through any regulated exchange. None of these are regulated nor understood by sovereign governments. Minimally, this is a recipe for fraud. But definitely, it has been a modern day financial “wild west” for the innovative and aggressive!

Stock Market Bear Flags Break Down... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
The question becomes for the masses, does that matter very much or is it really not very relevant? Let's discuss what breaking down from bear flags can and usually does mean. If we go back to the March lows of 2009 we can see there was never a time during a pullback where the market basically stood still and formed a bear flag. Pretty much right back up once we had some selling. Strong hollow black candles which left little doubt about what was taking place.

The Chinese Stock Market Is Rolling Over / Stock-Markets / Chinese Stock Market
By: DailyWealth
The bears are starting to win the "China argument" we told you about a few weeks ago.
To recap, the Chinese economy and stock market are the center of a big debate. Some say the country is a huge pile of malinvestment. Some say don't worry, things are fine there. Now let's ask the market who is right...

Nasdaq Trendline Alert for Stock Index Traders / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: INO
One of the most powerful technical tools that a trader possesses is a pencil and a ruler. It sounds kind of old-school, but the reality is trend lines in technical analysis are enormously important.
In my new video I will show you how the NASDAQ index has broken a very important trend line and what the ramifications are for this index.

Stock Market Crash Second Leg, What’s Next in 2010? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Christopher_Laird
A lot of people realize that the world financial and commodity markets have rocketed around 60 pct since March 2009. Around the summer/fall people realized that the markets got ahead of the world economy, which is still terrible. Unemployment is still rising and one day this month there were US job losses of 50,000 announced. Hey if jobs are again going to tank (they are) then this gig of so called recovery is over.

A Dismal Decade? No Way With Stock Market Cycle Investing / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Steve_Selengut

Obama And Earnings Reports Soothe Stock Market Investors Nerves / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
A more hawkish than expected FOMC statement yesterday saw equities ending higher and debt lower. There was also relief that Obama’s State of Union speech contained no negative surprises. He announced an extension of tax incentives which was warmly received and announced the elimination of capital gains tax on small businesses. Not sure whether this squeeze has legs but with one hurdle out of the way some of the bears are covering – it’s just a question of whether the long-only sellers we have seen all week decide to come in of the side lines. We are knee deep in earnings and global proxies. CAT, Hitachi Construction etc are guiding lower which doesn’t exactly fill me with a great deal of confidence.

Dow Solid Stock Market Break Down and the Gold Bear Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: J_Derek_Blain
Every Market For Itself! (Or All for One) - It appears that the short respite from this bear market is coming to a quick close. As we have forecast for some time, the everything-but-the-USD bear market is underway and as such our goal is to notify you of topping formations, as the bottom is a little further into the future than our crystal ball is willing to tell.

Stock and Commodities Trading for SP500, Gold, Silver and Crude Oil / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The stock indexes have been trading very choppy making it difficult for swing/trend traders. It’s during times like this when seasoned traders rise above the herd of average traders.
If you only trade one strategy like swing trading or trend trading then you are likely finding it difficult to make money right now. On the other hand, day traders are having a blast right now as they take advantage of the powerful intraday rallies and sell offs.

Stock Market Post FOMC Interest Rate Decision Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had an interesting and volatile session, but at the end of the day after the FOMC announced they managed to stage a sharp 3 wave rally and closed near the highs for the day. Only a last 10-minute profit-taking pullback brought them off the highs for the day. But it was a positive day for the indices, particularly because key support held, especially on the Nasdaq 100.

Stock Markets Turn Late... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
The stock market needed fear. A bull bear spread of 37.5%. Markets normally have a strong pullback once you see levels over 35%. It's not an exact timing mechanism but it was coiled spring looking for a catalyst. It found it and down we went. It was no small move down either as two and a half months of gains were wiped out in three days worth of market action. That's more than just ouch. Moves down are always more aggressive than moves higher because fear is a greater emotion than greed.

China Funds FXI, GXC, PGJ, HAO Rolling Over / Stock-Markets / Chinese Stock Market
By: Richard_Shaw
This article is about four exchange traded funds (FXI, GXC, PGJ, HAO) and four closed-end funds (CHN, JFC, CAF, GCH), and the deteriorating price performance of those funds and the China indexes.
Putting the bottom line at the top, we think China is rolling over, at least in the short-term, and we are short FXI as of last Thursday, but still long the S&P 500 (proxy: SPY) for the time being.

Stock Market Investor Fears Over China and Re-regulation / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
US stocks fell Tuesday, erasing gains in the session’s final hour, as concern the Federal Reserve may signal more plans to unwind stimulus measures overshadowed higher-than-estimated earnings from Apple, Tellabs, Travelers etc and a jump in consumer confidence. JP Morgan slid 2% to lead declines in the Dow. Verizon Communications shed 1.7%, while US Steel plunged 12% on a wider-than-estimated loss and the prospect of diminished demand from China. Benchmark indexes extended declines as Elliott Wave International CEO Robert Prechter said a new bear market may have begun.

For example ... below is a two and a half year chart of the New Highs compared to how the S&P 500 trended during that time.

Stock Market Quiet Inside Day / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
Take a stock such as Apple (AAPL), which had a very nice day. Or did it! Great earnings for sure and rewarded for those earnings. It opened at 205.95 and closed at 205.94 after printing nearly 214.00 intraday. It actually printed a doji and a black candle and on a big move like that you don't want to see the sellers catch up so late in the day and print that black candle. The last hour did a lot of damage. We saw that type of reversal down on all the index charts and thus they too didn't print very pretty candles. Does this late action negate the better looking 60-minute charts that are out there? We are about to find out aren't we.
