Stock Market Turn Up Tuesday, POT Gets Really High / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
BHP offered to pay $38.4Bn for POT this morning.
Is BHP high or is this market seriously undervalued? Well, for one thing, POT turned them down saying the offer ($130/share - CASH) "substantially undervalues PotashCorp and fails to reflect both the value of our premier position in a strategically vital industry and our unparalleled future growth prospects." CEO Dallas Howe continues: "We believe it is critical for our shareholders to be aware of this aggressive attempt to acquire their company for significantly less than its intrinsic value.

Stock Market Poor Action Overall Continues... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
Five straight gap downs is not something that happens very often. It makes you step back and wonder what it means. Maybe it means nothing bigger picture. Maybe it means something very important. There's one thing, though, that is clear and that's the simple fact that there are now many open gaps that will keep the wallet on the hip for the bulls, and encourage the bears to get more aggressive when gaps are hit from underneath.

Combining Economic and Stock Index Technical Analysis / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Sy_Harding

Stock Market Mandarin Monday as China Moves into Second Place / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
China became the World’s 2nd largest economy this weekend. Or rather, Japan became number three because it’s not so much what China did as what Japan did not do, which was (or was not, in this case) grow. Japan’s GDP came in at a pathetic 0.4% annualized pace in Q2, about 1/6 of the 2.3% pace expected and 90% slower than the 4.4% pace of Q1. At least we can’t call Japan a “double dip” – they haven’t been out of a recession since the ’80’s…Read full article... Read full article...

Emerging Stock Markets Thrive as U.S. Shares Tumble / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: As the U.S. stock markets struggle in the midst of slowing economic growth, emerging stock markets are thriving as their surging economies provide cover for savvy investors.
Stocks tripped over the past week after a weak jobless claims report and a lukewarm revenue outlook from Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO) on Thursday put an exclamation point on worries about a muddled Federal Reserve Bank policy. U.S. markets lost more than 4% in one of their weakest five-day spans of the year, including a 90% Downside Day on Wednesday that featured a rare event: All 30 stocks in the Dow Jones Industrials Average closed lower.

Stock Market Party on Wall Street Like Its 1929 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Mike_Whitney
On Tuesday, the Fed announced that it will reinvest the proceeds from maturing mortgage-backed securities (MBS) into US Treasuries. The process is called Quantitative Easing. In theory, Q.E. increases inflation expectations so that consumers spend more and rev up the economy. That's the theory. But adding to bank reserves when the banks are already loaded to the gills, achieves nothing. It doesn't put money in the hands of people who will spend it, generate more economic activity or increase growth. It's a big zero. Oddly enough, the Fed even admits this. According to an article in Bloomberg News, "The Central Bank posted a paper co-written by Seth Carpenter, associate director of the Fed’s monetary-affairs division, finding that the “quantity of reserve balances itself is not likely to trigger a rapid increase in lending.” No "increase in lending" means no credit expansion and no rebound. Thus, QE will have no real impact.

Stock Market Has NO Bid At 1080 S&P 500... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
This is shocking if you think about it. Straight down 50 points. Right at critical support after four straight gap downs, and at oversold on the 60-minute charts. It still is having trouble catching a bid where it needs to hold. I still think there's a decent chance we get a small bounce up early next week, but it looks as if the market wants lower sooner than later. It is very unusual to see four straight gaps lower.

By: PaddyPowerTrader
U.S. stocks fell again Thursday, sending the S&P 500 Index to the biggest three day decline since July 1st, after an unexpected rise in unemployment claims added further ammo that the recovery is weakening.

Elsewhere Estee Lauder shed 2.6% after profit missing estimates.
