End of the Stocks Bear Market Rally? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
The price action earlier this month was no doubt an extreme and I’m still seeing and hearing discussion about whether or not it was “real.” Personally, I think it was and as a technician I take the price action at face value. Ultimately, this could prove to be the beginning of the end of the bear market rally that began at the March 2009 low. From a Dow theory perspective, the bullish trend change that occurred in association with the counter-trend move out of the March 2009 low still remains intact.

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).

Stocks Secular Bear Market Rally, Trees Meet the Forest / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
Many people like to look at Japan as instructive relative to the current situation facing the United States (and most of Europe). The current strong up move in stocks has been relentless. It has been no fun and of no use lately to eruditely point out how bad the underlying economy is and how bad the housing market and banking system is. There is little point of understanding the economy as an investor if you cannot make money using the information. Being a general stock market bear has been an incorrect and painful position since the March 2009 lows in many global stock markets.

Stocks Bear Market Rally Looking Toppy / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
From a big-picture perspective, the stock market’s advance off the March 2009 low is nothing more than a huge, bear market rally.
To understand how I come to that conclusion, just look at two classical valuation measures, price-to-earnings ratios and dividend yields, in the chart below. You can easily see how this stock market bear, which started in 2000 at record overvaluations, still has a lot of work to do …

Stocks Bear Market Dow Theory Update / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
At the time of my late March article that was posted here, there was a short-term Dow theory non-confirmation at play. I explained that this non-confirmation had drawn less attention than the one that had occurred earlier in March, but that these non-confirmations only served as warnings and that it was what developed from that point that was most important. Since that time, the latest short-term non-confirmation has again been corrected.

Stocks Bear Market Rally Update, Dissent with Authority / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
One of the most essential elements present at the very founding of America was that of well-reasoned and persistent dissent.
A healthy and aggressive dissent against proclamations of those in authority often results in clearer perspectives on matters of substantial import.

Stocks Are Still Down from 2008 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
Yesterday we pointed out how Gold and the US’s attaining of debt saturation have rendered Bernanke and the world central bankers’ attempts to re-flate the US economy and markets meaningless. Indeed, with stocks down 80%+ (when denominated in non-paper currency) and ever new $1 in debt issuance now acting as a drag on US productivity (incomes have dropped to the point that we can no longer finance our debt) any talk of recovery or bull markets is myopic at best.

Why You CANNOT Re-Flate an Economy or Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
I constantly receive emails asking me why I’m bearish with stocks breaking to new highs. The simple answer to this question is that I’m not bearish, I’m a realist. Stocks haven’t made a cent of money in over ten years.
I know what you’re thinking, “Graham’s just pointing out that the S&P 500 is still down from its 1999 levels.”

Stock Market Sentiment Indicates Investor Nirvana And New Paradigm / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
The sentiment indicators would suggest that this is not investing nirvana. While prices can certainly go higher, the lack of buying power should be obvious. Who is left to buy if everyone is all in? But judging by the emails I receive, most market participants believe that this is a new paradigm, where the Fed is engineering a new prosperity founded on gains in the market. Investing nirvana? I think not. This market environment is more like a high wire act. A new paradigm? Every era is new, but fear and greed never go away. I have yet to convince myself that "this time will be different".

Dow Theory Stocks Bear Market Rally Update / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
As the averages advanced out of the February lows, it was the Transports that beat the Industrials back above the January highs. As a result, a Dow theory non-confirmation was born earlier this month. At the time of my last article posted here, I had received numerous e-mails about that non-confirmation as it seemed to draw a lot of attention and many were viewing it as a death sentence for the market. I warned that this non-confirmation was not necessarily as negative as it was being made out to be and that jumping to conclusions just because one average beat the other one back above its previous closing high was premature.

Is the Stock Market Rally Done? In the Final Stages! / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
Last week many commentators jumped on the Dow passing a key chart point as a bullish indicator. Rather fewer bears highlighted the equally prescient point that the rally now almost exactly matches the rally of 1929 in percentage gain.

Stocks Bear Market Phase II Looms / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
As I have repeatedly stated, my research indicates that the secular bull market top in equities occurred in October 2007 and that the decline into March 2009 was merely Phase I of the ongoing secular bear market. My research also continues to indicate that the rally out of the March 2009 low is the rally separating Phase I from Phase II of the ongoing secular bear market. My cyclical and statistical work suggests that 2010 should prove to be a pivotal year and that depending on exactly how the statistical and cyclical data unfolds, we could see the setup that is required to usher in the Phase II decline of the ongoing secular bear market.
