Stock Market Wall Of Worry For Wednesday / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
A disappointed close on Tuesday saw US equities shed most of their early gains. Initially well received bond auctions & syndicated deals from Austria & Spain boosted sentiment post US holidays. The most interesting snippet from the Spanish deal was that the Chinese Central Bank are reported to have been in for Eur 540m. This is potentially very significant as Asian accounts have been big sellers of European peripheral bond markets. This may mark a turning point in sentiment & could result in significant spread tightening as Asian accounts tend to hunt in packs

Stock Market Disappointing Up-Session / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had an up-day today, but it was disappointing. The session started out with a big gap up. The indices ran to overhead resistance near 1765 on the Nasdaq 100 and as high as 1042.50 on the S&P 500. A steady decline ensued early within the first hour that took the indices back down to 1720 on the NDX, 45 points off its high, and 1018 on the SPX. A late rally snapped the indices back to resistance.

Stock Market Retests H&S Neckline, Perfect Setup for Opening Gap Down / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
U.S. stocks gained, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index rising from a 10-month low, amid
speculation earnings growth will help equities rebound from their lowest valuations since the
bull market began in 2009. (LOL!)
The S&P 500 climbed 0.5 percent to 1,028.06 at 4 p.m. in New York after jumping 2 percent in the first hour of trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 57.14 points, or 0.6 percent, to 9,743.62 to snap a seven-day losing streak, its longest since the financial crisis in 2008.

Stock Market Trading, Two Issues You DON’T Want To Own / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: David_Grandey
Going into last week we said: “We’re in the middle of the road and could go either way”
Up to that point in time we were just looking at a normal pullback off the recent highs and everything was going according to that plan all up till the big gap down day. That gap pushed the markets down hard and fast and changed what was a normal pullback in the markets to a resumption of a full blown second leg down of this correction.

Cheap Valuations Spur Bulls to Buy Stocks / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
With the major stock market indices oversold on almost every metric and the S&P 500 finding critical support around the 1100, European markets have pushed ahead today. Valuations have reached a 16 month low at 12.5 times earnings and we all know what happed in March 2009! Now equity analysts are raising their earnings estimates for U.S. companies at the fastest rate since at least 2004 just as stocks post the biggest losses in 16 months. Profit for S&P 500 companies will jump 34 percent in 2010, compared with a projected gain of 27% on March 29, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The revision, the most during any quarter in at least six years, came as lower than forecast home sales, manufacturing and private sector job growth sent the benchmark gauge for American equities down 16% since April 23.

Stock Market Plunge Just Part of a Normal Pattern? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: Although the stock market plunge last week was certainly unsettling, history and a slew of positive leading indicators show that this may just be part of a normal pattern with better news ahead.
Stocks were hammered on Tuesday as a negative revision to an economic report out of China and fears over European bank funding set off a global firestorm of selling. A very weak consumer confidence report didn't help matters.

Stock and Gold Market Analysis for Dow, Nasdaq, Bonds, IBM, AAPL and BIDU / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: JD_Rosendahl
The stock market finished last week on a down note. It couldn't find any legs all week long, as disappointing economic data rolled out all week, and uncertainty filled the market place. Even Biggs had concerns and sold stocks.
$INDU: The DOW traded down to its prior down trend line. The RSI has moved into oversold territory. There's nothing technically bullish so far on the DOW. The 50 and 200 day MAs are about to cross, which often can pull price in that direction, so maybe a little bounce next week, however, It still looks like this leg down has not finished.

Stock Markets Treading Water as the U.S. Celebrates / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
U.S. stocks dropped again Friday, pre the holiday weekend, condemning the Dow to its longest losing streak since the 2008 leg of the financial crisis, on concern the economic rebound is slowing after companies added fewer jobs than consensus expectations and factory orders slumped. General Electric, Caterpillar and Bank of America all shed at least 1.2% to lead the Dow to a seventh straight decline. Elsewhere Equity Residential, the largest publicly traded U.S. apartment landlord, fell 24% after Citigroup downgraded the shares. Airlines also retreated while drug makers rallied on takeover speculation.

Stock Market Bears In Full Control.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
It's a rare time indeed when the major daily index charts stay oversold. When RSI's hit 30 and stochastic's hit 7 across the board and we go lower you know you're in a bear market. This is what we dealt with today. Extremely oversold on the daily charts, not the 60-minute charts but the daily charts. That indeed unusual except when you're in a truly bearish scenario. After today's action I think it's pretty clear to all that things are in bad shape from both a fundamental and a technical perspective. The futures were flat going in to the big jobs report. Everyone was anticipating something good to come out of left field to help the bullish case come alive once again. They didn't get it. The numbers were not good. The private sector was anticipating job creation to the tune of 100k. Instead it got 83k. The unemployment level fell to 9.5%.

Will Q2 Earnings Create a Stock Market Rally? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Sy_Harding
The stock market is down 16% since its April peak, getting close to a decline of 20%, the threshold of entering a bear market. The S&P 500 is already back to its level of early September, having given back 38% of the entire bull market off the March low last year.
Yet, while investor sentiment has turned more pessimistic, it has held up surprisingly well in the face of the market decline, the steady stream of negative U.S. economic reports, and the continuation of troubling news from Europe and Asia.

Stock Market May Surprise By Year-End / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Chris_Ciovacco
Economic news has been weak lately. Financial markets have performed poorly for over two months. Dow Theory "sell signals" have been issued. You may have heard a "death cross" is on the way. It is nearly impossible to find a bull among the growing sloth of bears. We are concerned about both the fundamentals and the technicals. However, in the context of history the current situation is not all that unusual. Since risk assets, such as global stocks, commodities, and commodity-dependent currencies have very high correlations in today’s liquidity-driven markets, the comments made below relative to stocks also generally apply to copper, silver, oil, emerging market stocks, the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, risk, etc.

Stock Market Bears Should Beware / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Toby_Connor
I'm going to go through some signs that rabid bears might do well to pay attention to because I think the market is very close to a major bottom. (That doesn't mean we are guaranteed to make new highs, although we might. Just that we can probably expect an explosive rally soon, even if it ultimately turns out to be a counter trend rally in an ongoing bear market).
