After the Crash the Next Great Bubble Boom (Part I) / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Oxbury_Research
“A devastating crash occurs between 2010 and 2012, which ushers in a thirteen-year bear market into 2022” -Harry Dent Jr. This quote is taken directly from the back of Harry S. Dent Jr.'s bestselling book, The Next Great Bubble Boom . Mr. Dent was a pioneer in the study demographics and their relation to the stock market. Before we dive into certain specifics and reasoning behind what is shaping up to be an ominous prediction, it is important to sift out why this renowned author came to such conclusions in the first place and if anything has changed since the book was published in 2004.

Global Depression as Economies Face Bankruptcy / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Captain_Hook
A Brave New World - Or should I say, one will need be increasingly brave to live in a rapidly changing environment, strewn with perils and pitfalls not contemplated by the masses (mob) just yet. Slowly but surely process is taking hold in this regard however, and it will accelerate and spread like wildfire as the economy continues to contract, and conditions are officially deemed to be in Depression on a global scale. The consumer is pulling back , economies are turning in , and currencies are crumbling just as forecast on these pages many moons ago, where even Switzerland is already showing just how bad it is, which is surprising to many.

Equities Endure Another Bumpy Month End / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
There simply is no respite for long suffering stocks as fears of nationalisation creep closer. The seemingly endless need to drip feed financials more and more public money (Citibank and AIG) and news of slashed dividends at GE (and pared payouts elsewhere) was just too much for the market to take. The Dow Jones finished a horrible week at only 7063. Sorry but it looks like another tough week ahead is in store. Read full article... Read full article...

Another Losing Week for World Stock Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Regent_Markets
It was another losing week for world stock markets, with the banks in the thick of it yet again. The Dow Jones Industrial average continued its losing streak with February closing as the sixth losing month in a row. Friday also marked the lowest closing level for the Dow since May 1997. The week started well in the UK with banks such as Barclays, Lloyds, and RBS outperforming expectations.Read full article... Read full article...

U.S. Dollar, Crude Oil and Gold Teetering Bull Markets / Commodities / Financial Markets 2009
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The past 6 months have been every interesting, as the financial markets try to find a bottom while banks go bankrupt and more and more investment scandals continue to pop up on the radar destroying investor's life savings literally over night. It still sounds crazy, when I hear banks are going bankrupt and it just goes to show anything can happen. Read full article... Read full article...

United States Sinking Economy as Deficits Soar / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Are we rearranging the deck chairs on a sinking ship? - President Barack Obama forecast the biggest U.S. deficit since World War Two in a budget on Thursday that urges a costly overhaul of the healthcare system and would spend billions to arrest the economy's freefall. An eye-popping $1.75 trillion deficit for the 2009 fiscal year underlined the heavy blow the deep recession has dealt to the country's finances as Obama unveiled his first budget. That is the highest ever in dollar terms, and amounts to a 12.3 percent share of the economy -- the largest since 1945. In 2010, the deficit would dip to a still-huge $1.17 trillion, Obama predicted.

Obamalus To Hurt Corporate Earnings, CNBC Willful Ignorance Continues? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
The early market buoyancy yesterday was erased and indices faded badly to finish in the red on fears that the Obamalus would crimp future earnings of heath care and drugs companies. The plan contains provisions to clip Medicare payments to insurance companies and hospitals plus there are provisions to allow consumers to buy cheaper drugs from abroad. Stocks are headed for their worst month since last October. Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Markets to Recover as Gold Bull takes a Breather / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
My previous editorial showed the super-bullish intermediate term (12 to 18 month) outlook for Gold. My technical work called for a correction that would lead to a massive surge beyond $1,000 and to $2,000. It now appears that the gold correction is here. More importantly, the near term peak in Gold is coinciding with what will be the first major tradeable rally in stocks during this historic bear market. Read full article... Read full article...

Ineffective Alphabet Soup Policy Could Trigger Deflation Scare / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Captain_Hook
The markets are falling apart much faster than originally anticipated, which is troubling with respect to the inflation case. This is why we highlighted the scary reversals in M1 and M3 growth rates earlier in the week, to alert you to the possibility conditions might progress such that general price weakness could develop moving forward. While it's true such discussion might be premature, and it would take time for such reversals to have lasting effect, never the less, it's disturbing to see money supply trends possibly turning down at this time with a major sell signal in the stock market now in the bag.

Financial Markets at Critical Juncture / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Brent_Harmes
Two roads diverged in the markets, and I... I didn't care, because I owned precious metals. This has to be the most amazing time to be alive. I believe that the changes that will play-out over the next few years will dwarf anything that has come before, and this week will be one of the decisive moments. All the major financial indicators that often foretell the short-term direction of the markets, the economy, and the general feeling of optimism or fear and gloom, are at a critical juncture. Gold, the DOW, the S&P 500, and the US dollar are all at key turning points and the direction which the markets will head for the short term should be decided this week. Read full article...

Finanical Markets React to Citibank Black Hole for Tax Payers Dollars / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Stocks fell for the fifth session in a row last Friday. But that really seems a long time ago now with the news coming fast and loose over the weekend. And yes the news flow is dominated by those pesky banks again with the artist formerly known as the world largest financial, Citibank, taking centre stage and proving it's nothing but a black hole for taxpayers dollars. Like Sisyphus, policymakers seem to be pushing a rock up a mountain only to see it roll down again time and time again as the boulder gets bigger and the incline steeper. Read full article...

By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The Consumer Price Index still reveals inflation... The cost of living in the U.S. rose in January for the first time in six months as gasoline stopped sliding and retailers tried to push through start-of-year increases even as sales slumped. Read full article... Read full article...

U.S. Economy and Monetary System: Reviving The Patient / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Captain_Hook
Five trillion dollars, that's what it's going to cost for the good / bad bank and ballooning stimulus plans. Now that's serious money, not too mention serious inflation by strict definition in the sense money supply has been rising, but prices have not. And it's also a great deal of intervention to thwart what appears to be worsening economic problems; problems that continue to worsen despite all the prior interventions. This is of course what socialists do however; they just keep going back to the trough for more until they kill the patient. The socio-political backdrop has turned into a real zoo in this regard, where even Orwell, with his brilliant foresight , if asked way back when, would have likely had difficult imagining such a mess.

Stock Market Indices Breaking Lower / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
With the land of the free, home of the broke, the United States of Insolvency closed yesterday; markets had to look elsewhere for inspiration. The now ex Japanese Finance Minister found it in a bottle with reports that he was drunk at the G7 meeting over the weekend (see video below). More seriously though for markets. The S&P 500 futures has broken support and is now trading just above the pivotal 800 level. A break below 800 could see heavy selling pressure. Read full article... Read full article...

Posting When It Matters - I want to thank those of you who've patiently waited during my apparent hiatus. I certainly wasn't on vacation. I don't take vacations. As I've said in the past, I'm not one to make daily or weekly posts for the sake of marketing. Guys who spend much of their time marketing are anything but leaders in their field, unless their field happens to be marketing. Read full article... Read full article...

Déjà Vu As Banking Stocks Drag Indices Lower / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Stocks ended on a sour note Friday and down 5% for last week. One wonders where they might have ended if not for the giant stimulus package and the son of TARP? Markets had been fantasising that the Obama administration's big bang would at last put equities on the road to redemption but we remain no closer and there seems no rabbit left to pull. Financials were again caught in the cross wires as Lloyds share price plummeted on renewed nationalisation fears following revelations of a £10bn loss at basket case HBoS. Read full article...

Financial Markets React to Bank Bailout Blackhole / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Prieur_du_Plessis
“Words from the Wise” this week comes to you from my abode in a visibly depressed Europe, from where I am compiling this report as welcome relief from gloomy conversations with taxi drivers and cheerless meals in deserted eateries.
Events during the past few days were dominated by the announcement of US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's financial stability plan and a deal reached by Congress on the economic stimulus bill. However, the much-anticipated bailout bang soon whimpered as investors were disappointed about the lack of “beef”. Meanwhile, markets were also mired in uncertainty on the back of fresh evidence of headwinds facing the global economy - notably in major economies such as the UK, continental Europe and Japan.
