Greece Debt Crisis and Bailout Market Volatility, What Just Happened? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Howard_Katz
The events of the last few months have been far more important than I had originally given them credit for. The bottom line was when a group of European nations, together with the International Monetary Fund, gave loans to Greece to pay off the rioters. That very day Jean-Claude Trichet was in the financial markets buying bonds

How to Trade Gold and S&P500 Market Bottoms / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The stock market topped in April which was expected from analyzing stocks and the indexes. On 2nd May I posted a few reports explaining how to read the charts to spot market tops. Today’s report is about identifying market bottoms.
It does not get much more exciting than what we have seen in the past 2 months with the market topping in April and the May 6th mini market crash. This Thursday we saw panic selling which pushed the market below the May 6th low washing the market of weak positions.

Deficits To Go Galactic, Sell in May and Run Away . . . Fast / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Gary_North
There is an old phrase regarding stock market investing: "Sell in May and go away." Recent markets have reinforced that saying.
Stock markets all over the world are falling. The first market to begin falling was China's. It peaked in early August of 2009. It struggled back, though not to its August peak, but is now falling. The decline is accelerating. It is down by about 25% in 2010.

Stock Market Breaks Down, Financial Regulation Too Little Too Late / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The U.S. Senate, bringing Congress to the brink of passing the most comprehensive regulation of the financial industry since the Great Depression, approved a bill that imposes restrictions on proprietary trading by banks and creates a consumer protection agency designed to prevent lending abuses that triggered the housing collapse and the worst unemployment in almost three decades.

Stock Gold, Dollar, Bond Markets Warning & Profit Opportunities Alert! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“…reporting of contained CPI inflation by the U.S. government should be relatively short-lived, as global financial market concerns eventually shift from systemic solvency issues in Europe to those in the United States. Concerns for U.S. stability eventually should dominate most other market issues…

Stock, Commodity and Financials Trading, The Quick And The Dead / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Bob_Clark
The Fat Boys are stop killers. You must learn the ways of the Fat Boys.
This sudden plunge in the market has been a wake up call to investors. Complacency is dangerous. It re-enforces bad habits and can lead to not questioning how we think and who we listen to. The price of (financial) freedom is eternal vigilance.

Investors Shocked By German Naked Short Selling Ban / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
U.S. financial stocks fell sharply towards the end of Tuesday’s trading session, dragging the market to another 100 point plus decline. The reasons? Investors were shocked & unnerved by Germany’s plans to ban naked short-selling which served to reinforce rather than dispel worries over the sovereign debt crisis. Also growing uncertainty facing banking in the face of increased scrutiny & regulatory control.

Golden Goose vs. Black Swans, Gold the Other Currency / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: HRA_Advisory
April ushered in both broader evidence of recovery in parts of the Western economy, and a series of both ecological and economic “events” that are quite worrisome. It’s unlikely any of the April events (including, we fervently hope, sovereign debt) would be, in and of itself, shattering. What each does is to impact the psychology under which markets are operating and hence how they perform. The cumulative impact of these events after a strong uptick means sell buttons are being pushed, and should be signaling profits taking by you. How much is the question.

Gold Bull Market and the SP 500 Index Forecast Update / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: David_Banister
Back in the third week of April I predicted here on Kitco.com a topping in the broader market indices. The theory was the VIX levels were extremely and historically too low concomitant with extremely high historical readings in investor bullish sentiment gauges. After thirteen Fibonacci months of a bull cycle rally, it was likely an A B C correction to the downside would begin. In further follows ups on TheMarketTrendForecast.com service I run on April 20th, I again outlined concerns with falling volumes on small cap stocks and too many “stories” being run up too far ahead of the economics.

Financial Markets Euro Sovereign Debt Fears Linger / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Nasty end to a rollercoaster week as sovereign debt worries continued to trump some decent US economic data Friday. Crude oil slipped below $70bn and the Euro slumps sub 1.23 versus the USD as investors realize the solutions to the current fiscal crisis are all growth negative. I’d thought Friday would be a relatively quiet holiday thinned session but it pretty much all ended in tears. To kick off we’d some ill timed & ill judged comments from Deutsche Bank’s top man Ackerman that Greek debt RESTRUCTURING is still a possibility (there are things you think but don’t say in a position such as his).

Commodity Charts Point to Stock Market and Economic Vulnerability / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Mike_Paulenoff
This week we look at commodities charts, which indicate there may be some concerns regarding future global economic growth. Precious metals gold and silver, as safe havens in uncertain market environments, have constructive-looking charts, while industrial metals such as copper, steel, and aluminum, as well as oil and the materials sector, look vulnerable, suggesting a problem in terms of buyers and demand.

Monday Monetary Madness - Financial Markets Ewwwwro! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
Wow, nobody wants those Euros!
Of course, that kind of makes me want them as the Euro collapsed to $1.223 last night and we moved into "crazy oversold" territory. Just 3 years ago supermodel Gisele Bundchen (left) INSISTED on being paid only in Euros (classic sign of a top!). It’s not like we’re going to run in and buy Euros but I think $25 is plenty on EUO so we’re done with those for now and they are up another $2 from when we were already thrilled with them on May 5th. That was the same post in which I said about oil "that bubble may be popping too" and we’re down from $85 then to $72 this morning and we touched $70 this morning which is our 20% retrace from our April $87 highs.

Sovereign Debt Crisis: Investor Emergency Strategy Update / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Martin_D_Weiss
Martin Weiss: Just days ago, the cradle of Western democracy — Greece — was in flames! Rioters attacked banks, businesses and government buildings. The entire country plunged into chaos. Spain, Portugal, Italy and even the United Kingdom were reeling. The euro was crushed.
Then, as we have warned you consistently and persistently, the raging storm in Europe struck our shores … ripped through our corporate bond market … created chaos in our stock market … and threatened to derail our already-fragile economic recovery.

Gold, Silver and SP500 Stock Index Trading Charts / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Last week was amazing for both gold and index traders as gold surged higher and the SP500 tested a key resistance then fell 4% in our favor. The past couple weeks with the mini market crash and Euro issues making the market extra volatile both gold and the broad market (SP500) index has been wild.
The added volatility makes trading more difficult because price patterns become less predictable and price movements are much larger increasing risk for traders.

Stock Market Rally Failure Whilst Gold Rally Continues / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Steve_Betts
“I wouldn't call it fascism exactly, but a political system nominally controlled by an irresponsible, dumbed down electorate who are manipulated by dishonest, cynical, controlled mass media that dispense the propaganda of a corrupt political establishment can hardly be described as democracy either.” --- Edward Zehr
This may come as a shock to you but we are now living in interesting times. These interesting times are being brought to you by the folks around the world who created massive debts that can never be paid. At first it was difficult to catch on because they disguised the debt in the dual forms of derivatives and fiat currencies.
