S&P Stocks Index Approaching Key Support / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The tension in the market today is palpable, isn’t it? The dollar goes down, and stocks, metals and commodities go up. The dollar rallies off of oversold, and stocks, metals and commodities pull back. That said, however, let’s notice on the hourly chart of the S&P 500 emini futures contract that after making yet another new recovery high this morning at 1103.25, the emini S&P has sold off to nearly unchanged and more importantly is approaching an important test of key near-term support at 1093-1090.

Testing Time for the USD and Aging Stock Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Garry_Abeshouse
No one alive has probably experienced a time when so much highly geared money has been controlled by so few large corporations, who with their accumulated power, have governments all over the world running scared. This power has been magnified with the continued availability of government handouts and cheap funding from the USD Carry Trade. This has created an "Open Sesame" to a monetary wish list that has no limits for those involved. It makes for a deceptive market, with a bought out and manipulative mainstream media, who constantly refuse to provide cogent introspection and analysis of the high risk and highly geared trading activities of the major banks. Don’t forget that Goldman Sachs has a debt to capital ratio of over 1000:1.Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Lateral Trading / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
When markets get overbought you usually expect a fast drop lower, and that may still, and actually, should take place. However, we are still in a clear up trend off the March lows and this market is trying to fight off those overbought 60-minute time frame charts with all its muscle. Today seemed like the perfect day for some unwinding and although we got a drop, it wasn't very much to get excited about thus we head in to tomorrow still overbought on the short-term time frame charts only.

Are We Headed for a 25% Stock Market Drop? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: The_Gold_Report
With anticipated GDP growth insufficient to sustain current market levels, Q1 Publishing's Founder and Chief Investment Strategist Andrew Mickey asserts that great expectations tend to lead to great disappointments. Although he's not foretelling a big crash, he tells Gold Report readers why it makes sense to expect the market to fall back to a fair-value level over the next six months to a year and there will still be plenty of opportunities for those in the right spot.

Societe Generale's Albert Edwards Calls New Stocks Bear Market Low in 2010 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Trader_Mark
Societe Generale's Albert Edwards is generally considered an uber bear, although there were times in the past year he has tactically increased exposure to equities to take advantage of oversold conditions. Now is not one of those times. In fact, Edwards chimes in with many similar thoughts we've posted on the fundamentals... but sticks his neck out calling for new lows in 2010.

Why is the Stock Market Rising When The Economic Recovery is Weak? / Stock-Markets / US Interest Rates
By: John_Mauldin
"Why" many ask, "is the stock market going up when the bond market is telling us the recovery will be tepid? Isn't there a disconnect?" And the answer is that there is, and this week good friend and fishing buddy Paul McCulley of PIMCO fame discusses that very topic with his usual insight and wit. He poses the conundrum that those expecting a "V" shaped recovery have pushed risk assets up quite high, and that the real risk to their position is that they in fact get a "V" shaped recovery. And yet, they could go higher and into bubble territory.

Why is the Stock Market Rising While Unemployment is Soaring / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Washingtons_Blog
Daniel Gross points out that part of the reason that the American stock markets are going up even though unemployment is rising and the real economy suffering is because multinational corporations headquartered in the U.S. are experiencing strong sales abroad:

Stocks Bull Market Destroys the Crash Bears Again / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Seems like Déjà vu where virtually on every correction the mega perma-bears re-emerge to pronounce the demise of the bear market rally only to be beaten back down by the subsequent rally to a new high for the move as we witnessed today with the Dow closing above the previous mid October peak of 10,120, by closing at 10,226.

Stock Market Slays the Doomsayers... Pullback Due.. / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
Of course, that doesn't mean we can't and won't pull back because we will. We will have selling episodes that feel bad, but with the bears unable to take out those 50-day exponential moving averages with force, there is nothing bad going on for the bulls. We did break below on a closing basis on the S&P 500, but barely. The Nasdaq lost by a bit more but the Dow never broke. I wrote a nightly commentary on this.

Russia Regroups Twenty Years After the Fall of the Berlin Wall / Stock-Markets / Articles
By: STRATFOR
We are now at the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the beginning of the collapse of the Soviet empire in Eastern Europe. We are also nearing the 18th anniversary of the fall of the Soviet Union itself. This is more than simply a moment for reflection -- it is a moment to consider the current state of the region and of Russia versus that whose passing we are now commemorating. To do that, we must re-examine why the Soviet empire collapsed, and the current status of the same forces that caused that collapse.

Stock Market On a Glide Path Towards Dow 11,000 / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Paul_J_Nolte
All the market and the economy are asking for is a little bit of respect. The expectation of better economic news, coupled with above estimated earnings has put the equity market on a glide path towards 11,000 over the course of the next few months. The economy is on a bumpy recover, with manufacturing replacing all the stuff bought over the past six months (inventory rebuild), while productivity of American workers is through the roof. So goes the bullish argument. However, the king of lagging indicators, unemployment is not really showing signs of “expansion”.

Stock and Dollar Bears At the Margin / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Captain_Hook
How can the stock market continue to set new rally related records week in and week out? Answer: As per our discussion last week, because at the margin, there have been enough bearish speculators, as measured by US index open interest put / call ratios, to continually squeeze prices higher. What’s more, this, in itself is nothing new (sentiment largely drives market direction in fiat currency economies), and has been the primary driving force behind stock market direction for sometime now (decades).
