Real Wage Growth Is Actually Falling / Economics / Wages

By: Patrick_Watson

The US economy is at “full employment,” says the official 3.9% unemployment rate.

The problem is that fully employed people haven’t seen enough wage growth. It’s a puzzle. Wages used to rise faster when unemployment was this low.

That’s why there was much celebration when the August jobs report showed a 2.8% annual increase in average hourly earnings for “Production and Nonsupervisory Employees,” i.e., regular workers.

Fed Hikes Interest Rates, Stocks Fall, Just a Correction? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Paul_Rejczak

Stocks reversed their yesterday's intraday uptrend following the Fed's Rate Decision release. Will they continue lower today? Or was it just a quick downward correction before another leg up?

The U.S. stock market indexes lost 0.2-0.4% on Wednesday, as investors reacted to the FOMC's Interest Rate hike announcement. The S&P 500 index has reached the new record high of 2,940.91 on Friday. It currently trades 1.1% below that high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0.4% and the technology Nasdaq Composite lost 0.2% yesterday.

Examining the Stock Market’s Late-cycle Behavior / Stock-Markets / Cycles Analysis

By: Troy_Bombardia

Lots of traders and investors have been talking about the U.S. stock market’s “late-cycle” behavior recently. I think a lot of them are missing the more important point.

Yes, we are certainly in the late innings of this bull market. HOWEVER, the bull market probably has 1 year left.

For example, Citadel’s Ken Griffin told Bloomberg that the bull market rally has AT LEAST 1.5 – 2 years left. Citadel is one of the few hedge funds that consistently outperforms.

Gold Price Can Still See a Lower Low / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018

By: Avi_Gilburt

The Fed controls the gold market. The manipulators control the gold market. The “swaps” control the gold market. The hedge funds control the market. Yes, I have heard about how everyone is controlling the gold market.

In fact, I even hear such ridiculous statements as, "The banks are pushing us down so that they can buy at lower prices." The problem with this is that the banks have been long for weeks - yet they are still pushing us down?

US & Global Markets Internals / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2018

By: Gary_Tanashian

To celebrate NFTRH’s 10 year anniversary (Friday, Sept. 28) I’d like to present one segment from this week’s report, NFTRH 518 each day until Friday. These excerpts will give you an idea of what it takes to provide a top tier, best of breed product. But there is much more to a single weekly report than will be shown here publicly. Oh and don’t forget the dynamic in-week market updates as events dictate.

All for 30% less per day than you spend on your single cup of small regular coffee at Dunkin Donuts! Think about that. I mean, I don’t want to downplay the importance of coffee – it makes NFTRH run – but what is the value of consistent, focused and proven market intelligence at your fingertips day to day, week to week and year after year?

The Final Silver Sign / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018

By: P_Radomski_CFA

We’ve seen myriads of signs pointing to lower precious metals prices in the past months, weeks, and days. We even discussed how ridiculously similar the current situation is to what happened in 2013, right before the $200+ decline in gold. But the final bearish confirmation usually comes from the silver market and this time is no different.

Let’s take a look at the charts for details (charts courtesy of http://stockcharts.com).

Crude Oil Price $100 Is A Distinct Possibility / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: OilPrice_Com

An oil price spike is starting to look increasingly possible, with a rerun of 2008 not entirely out of the question, according to a new report.

The outages from Iran are worse than most analysts expected, and bottlenecks in the U.S. shale patch could prevent non-OPEC supply from plugging the gap. To top it off, new regulations from the International Maritime Organization set to take effect in 2020 could significantly tighten supplies.

Firvale School Mayhem to Impact on Secondary School Place Applications Across Sheffield / Local / Sheffield

By: N_Walayat

On Tuesday of this week there was literally mayhem on the streets of Sheffield, not because of a protest movement or out of control football fans but one of out of control secondary school 'children' running amok, fighting outside a Sheffield secondary school, Firvale Academy on Owler Lane. It took the deployment of over 40 police officers including a dog team and a police helicopter to bring the situation back under control as the following video from a popular Sheffield facebook page illustrates.

America’s Fastest-Growing Stocks Have This One Thing in Common / Companies / Tech Stocks

By: Stephen_McBride

I call them “autopilot stocks”.

Do you know many of America’s fastest-growing businesses are built on one key principle?

I’m talking about disruptors like Amazon (AMZN). Thirteen years ago, it launched its Prime delivery service. Today, there are nearly as many Prime subscribers as there are full-time workers in America.

Or the recently IPO’d Spotify (SPOT). Eighty-five million people listen to music on its innovative app.

The Post Bubble Market Contraction Thesis Receives Validation / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2018

By: Plunger

In the last two reports I developed the thesis that we are in the early stages of a post bubble contraction (PBC).  This contraction actually began in 2008 and is now reasserting itself in the form of a global liquidity crisis (GLC). In this edition I show how this thesis just received mainstream validation and it’s now time to begin developing an investment strategy.

The FED and central banks responded to the 2008 crisis by lowering rates to zero or less and injected trillions of credit into the system.  Indeed, they were able to re-inflate the pre-crisis bubble and put the contraction on hold, but only at the price of corrupting the core of money and credit itself and their actions exasperated the gap between the haves and the have nots.  QE in the end turned out simply to be monetary policy for the rich. The  result has been to start a world wide populist movement causing outside political contenders to win elections.

Best Ways to Finance Your Studies in Abroad / Personal_Finance / Student Finances

By: Submissions

Studying abroad is a dream of many Indian students. Studying abroad is quite difficult for a student of middle class as it is expensive. There are few benefits of studying abroad. The foremost thing is that you have to look care of all your things by your own; initially it will be very tough to adjust with the busy life. You can either take a loan or start a part time job to get yourself financed. Doing a part time is not a good choice as getting involved in any official work will not allow much time for your studies. You can go for taking an educational loan from a banks. Malaysia is now a preferred destination for  students seeking higher education.

5 Weirdly Lucrative Businesses / Companies / SME

By: Dylan_Moran

Nobody doubts that CEOs make a lot of money but most would imagine that companies dedicated to luxury are the ones that make the biggest profits. However, it seems that this is not entirely true, as many businesses that net a high gain are not really what you would describe as glamorous. Let's take a look at five businesses that make their owners rich despite their weird nature.

Gold – “Make Me Feel Good…Tell Me Anything” / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018

By: Kelsey_Williams

Most technical analysis of gold boils down to “what the charts tell us about gold’s next move”. The next move according to most seers of the trade – is “imminently bullish” and represents one, last chance for investors to save their financial souls.

The problem is that more people have lost more money by ‘investing’ in gold upon the advice of those who proffer it, than will likely ever be made up going forward.”…Kelsey Williams

There are several reasons for that.

We’ve been looking at sector rotation quite a bit recently here at BullMarkets. Last week we mentioned that the Dow:Russell ratio (large cap vs. small caps) is about to cross above its 200 day moving average for the first time in a long time.

This means that the Dow is starting to outperform the Russell 2000 for the first time in a long time.

It’s about a process, a series of policies, and an approach that has been in place for decades now, irrespective of political parties. What we are going to give you are facts, not opinions. Those of you who read regularly should know us well enough to understand that we have no use for the ‘lesser of two evils / left-right paradigm’ approach to our Republic.

Lessons from Lehman's Collapse 10 Years After Failing / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008

By: Michael_Pento

Global financial services firm Lehman Brother’s stock was in free-fall during the first week of September 2008. After making huge bets in the mortgage securities space, Lehman’s President Dick Fuld feared bankruptcy and frantically sought out a buyer. The company was hopeful to strike a weekend deal with either Barclays PLC or Bank of America.

Nevertheless, Lehman’s outsized investments in the mortgage market ultimately proved them too risky a partner for anyone; and the giant investment bank went belly-up on September 15th.  Prior to this event, Lehman had reported record earnings every year from 2005 to 2007. The Street believed the company to be infallible. Analysts held on to hope until the bitter end. Their mantra went something like this, “nothing to see here, this is a small correction in a small section of the housing market that has little effect on the overall economy.”

Focus on the Stock Market’s Price Action and Ignore the Failed Hindenburg Omen / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Troy_Bombardia

Our recent quantitative market studies have shown an interesting divergence:

  1. The U.S. stock market’s own price action suggests that the stock market will continue to rally for another year.
  2. Various studies of the stock market’s breadth have been bearish. They’ve pointed to a “bear market” or “big correction” very soon. Some of these have been the Hindenburg Omen.

So which of these 2 market studies is right? Which is more important? Price action or breadth?

As U.S. stock market investors and traders, our job is to separate the signal from the noise.
