A Bubble in Search of a Pin
Unemployment Numbers: A Mixed Bag
A Bubble in Search of a Pin
And Speaking of Bubbles
Should Greenspan and Bernanke have seen the bubble in housing and other assets and acted, or should we accept their defense that you can't know whether there is a bubble until after the fact? We will look at research that suggests they should have known, and, at the least, policy makers should no longer be allowed to say, "How could I have known?"

Stocks, Gold and Commodity Markets Major Update / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Steven_Vincent
It's been a while since I gave an update. This one comes at what may be a turning point as significant as the one in March '09. Is the bear market beginning its next leg? Quite possibly. It’s important to note that I have been bullish since the March ‘09 bottom and I do not qualify as a permabear.

Gold, Silver, the Dow, and S&P 500, People are Still Asking “What the Heck is Going On?” / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: J_Derek_Blain
This morning, I watched a video of the CEO of Gold Fields, Mr. Nick Holland, expressing his surprise at Soro's recent statement that gold is the "ultimate bubble". Mr. Holland said that almost every other market “expert” (my sarcastic quotes) he talked to had a vastly different opinion of the metal - that it was "fundamentally sound" etc.

Financial Markets Outlook 2010, When Hope Turns To Fear / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Ty_Andros
Currencies, Bombs... er, Bonds and Banks are ALL Rotten to their Core.
This is the epicenter of the unfolding financial crisis and inflationary/deflationary depression. The developed world is BANKRUPT and the policies of INSOLVENCY are entrenched in its leaders and citizens in such a way as to make the final destination of financial system destruction UNAVOIDABLE. The "something for nothings" in the developed world are firmly in control of the electoral process and their constituencies continue to grow as the global financial crisis crushes their incomes and future prospects. Taxes are headed far higher, thus transferring capital from the private economies (where jobs and incomes are created and where production exceeds consumption) to the public sector which has no idea what cost-benefit analysis is and consumes much more than it produces.

Stock and Commodity Market Investors Groundhog Daze / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Bob_Clark
February 2 is Groundhog Day. The question is, with this sell off in the markets will consumers see their debt shadows and go back into hibernation. As the stimulus has started to dry up, economic numbers are already starting to weaken. The question brings to mind the Bill Murray movie of the same name. Read full article... Read full article...

The 1% Stock Market Crash, a week in review / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The week saw Tory Bliar appear in front of Britain's amateur Iraq War Inquiry to pound his fist on the table for war without end as he justified lying to the country on the reasons for the Iraq War and subsequent 200k+ deaths, from the 45 minute lie, to the WMD lie, right through to regime change lie on top of the Sept 11th excuse for war, despite the fundamental and absolute fact that it was the Saudi's that flew the planes into the twin towers and not Iraqi's!

The Coming Debt Cataclysm, Some Investment Opportunities & Defences / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“Something is Rotten is the State of Denmark” - Hamlet, 1.4 William Shakespeare
“Last week we interviewed G. Edwin Griffin, author of the Creature from Jekyll Island. Ed explained that the Federal Reserve has been created to preserve the interests of the bankers. Gold is an enemy of the Fed because, when it is demanded as money, it restricts their ability to re-allocate wealth from the people who create it, the miners, manufacturers, farmers and inventors, to themselves as they create fiat money out of thin air.”

Obama And Earnings Reports Soothe Stock Market Investors Nerves / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
A more hawkish than expected FOMC statement yesterday saw equities ending higher and debt lower. There was also relief that Obama’s State of Union speech contained no negative surprises. He announced an extension of tax incentives which was warmly received and announced the elimination of capital gains tax on small businesses. Not sure whether this squeeze has legs but with one hurdle out of the way some of the bears are covering – it’s just a question of whether the long-only sellers we have seen all week decide to come in of the side lines. We are knee deep in earnings and global proxies. CAT, Hitachi Construction etc are guiding lower which doesn’t exactly fill me with a great deal of confidence.

By: Chris_Vermeulen
The stock indexes have been trading very choppy making it difficult for swing/trend traders. It’s during times like this when seasoned traders rise above the herd of average traders.
If you only trade one strategy like swing trading or trend trading then you are likely finding it difficult to make money right now. On the other hand, day traders are having a blast right now as they take advantage of the powerful intraday rallies and sell offs.
