Timing of the Next Stocks Bear Market Primary Down Leg / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Brian_Bloom
In summary, it looks like the current upward technical reaction in the Primary Bear Market can be expected to suck more investors into the markets for another couple of months. Within 3 to 6 months from now the equity markets seem likely to resume their Primary Bear Trend.
This morning, when I was scrolling through the charts trying to get a feel for the mood of the market, I constructed the chart below (courtesy stockcharts.com):

Dow Jones Stocks Bear Market 2,000 Target By Elliott Wave Disciple Prechter / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes: In February 1995, the U.S. economy was in great shape. The 1990-92 recession had been over for a couple of years, the Federal Reserve was beginning to ease interest rates, the Clinton administration was beginning to make progress on sorting out the United States' modest long-term budget problem and there was this new thing called the Internet that looked as though it might bring some exciting new possibilities.

The Deceptive Stock Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Captain_Hook
The old adage ‘appearances can be deceiving’ can apply to many different situations, but for today, in our financial mania centric world, there is likely no better use of the term than as it applies to the various markets that characterize the landscape these days. In this respect, right now stocks appear to be discounting better times ahead with their more recent rebound, however even those who do not understand the real reasons why, know this to be a falsehood.

Stock Market Counter Trend Top of Undetermined Magnitude / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Andre_Gratian
Current Position of the Market
SPX: Long-term trend - Down! The very-long-term cycles have taken over and if they make their lows when expected, the bear market which started in October 2007 should continue until 2012-2014. This would imply that much lower prices lie ahead.
SPX: Intermediate trend - On March 6, the index started a counter-trend rally of a corrective nature followed by a pause in the trend. We have reached a top, the nature of which is still undetermined, but more corrective action is expected.

Stock Market Counter Trend Rally on False Hopes of Green Shoots Recovery / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Tim_Wood
A Brief History and Dow Theory Update - The method used and written about well over 100 years ago by Charles H. Dow were first termed “Dow’s Theory” after Dow’s death in 1902 by S.A. Nelson, who was a reporter for The Wall Street Journal under Dow’s stewardship. About a year following Dow’s death, William Peter Hamilton, who also served as a reporter under Dow began to write articles for The Wall Street Journal – mostly under the heading "The Price Movement." In these articles Hamilton analyzed and discussed, in terms of the investment or speculative outlook, the movements of the Dow-Jones Averages as related to business conditions in general.

Portfolio Hedging Strategies Against Fresh Stock Bear Market Lows / InvestorEducation / Stocks Bear Market
By: Andy_Sutton
While it may seem rather inappropriate to talk about hedging strategies while the markets are retracing at least a portion of 2008’s devastating plunge, common sense continues to support the position that the worst is yet to come. Granted, focus has shifted to ‘less bad’ economic data and the anointing of government spending as the elixir that will return the American economy to prosperity. Yes, that whole “We’re going to spend our way to prosperity” mantra is once again in play. Make no mistake about it; what we are witnessing right now will be viewed years from now as the biggest suckers rally in history – so far.

Current Stock Market Rally Within Supercycle Stocks Bear Market Part 2 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Bob_Bronson
Continued from Part 1 - GDP Continues To Accelerate Its Decline
The Commerce Department recently revised gross domestic product (GDP) downward for the fourth quarter of 2008. It shows the nation’s output of goods and services declined at a 6.3% annual rate, adjusted for inflation, from the previous quarter. It is clear confirmation that the recession is accelerating. Real GDP declined at the sharpest rate since 1982, while nominal GDP (no inflation adjustment) declined at the sharpest rate since 1958. The biggest hit to GDP came from the 4.3% annualized drop in consumer spending, the largest component of GDP. Business and residential investment also had large declines, and the deepening global recession took a toll on U.S. exports.

Is The Stock Market Rally For Real? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Kingsley_Anderson
Whether we are seeing the beginning of a new bull market or just another bear market rally, the two month upswing has been quite extraordinary. As can be expected, the perma-bears and perma-bulls are out in full force, arguing their case with the vigor of someone that has a direct line to Nostradamus. Where do I stand? While the recent move upward has been encouraging, I have not joined the longs. Why?

Signs of a Continued Stock Market Rally? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Mike_Stathis
It's been a while since I made any posts about the market because there hasn't been much to discuss. A few weeks ago, I mentioned that the 8200 level was fairly significant and represented a pivotal point in the market. Since then, the market has rallied to this level and has stuck around.

Stocks Bear Market Rally or New Bull Market? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Guy_Lerner
Since the equity markets bottomed on March 9, I have always been very careful to point out that the current rally is a bear market rally. In other words, when all is said and done, I believe that the current intermediate uptrend will be viewed as counter trend rally within an ongoing bear market. It has been my expectation that the current intermediate up trend has a high likelihood of rolling over in the next couple of weeks.

Stock Markets Have Never Made a Final Bear Market Bottom in March / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Donald_W_Dony
This article is an update on the April 22 Market Minute. As the March rally continues to advance into its ninth week, many financial reports are now indicating that the bear market is over and the low in March was the final bottom. Though the possibility is present, the probability remains remote. Since 1946, there has never been a final bottom in March. In the 12 bear markets over the past 70 years, six of the troughs developed in October and three occurred in May and June but none ended in March. However, in all of the bear markets, deep drops in March were present.

An eight-week-long upturn in European, Japanese, US and emerging stock markets since March 10th has sparked a wave of optimistic commentaries in the financial media, that the worst bear-market since the 1930’s has finally come to a merciful end, and the rocky road to recovery lies ahead. Since hitting a 12-year low on March 6th, the key global benchmark – the S&P-500 Index has rebounded by +34%%, while the KBW Index measuring 24-US-banks doubled off its lows.
