Bullied Stock Markets Make Case for Mid-Cap Growth Stocks / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes:
The markets may have been bullied a bit recently, but the way things are shaping up makes a solid case for mid-cap growth stocks.
Markets rolled modestly higher on Friday ahead of the Memorial Day weekend as bulls once again shrugged off some bad data points on the economy and focused on some good news. But for the week and month, stocks were down across by the board by as much as 2.5%.

Stock and Financial Markets Stormy Weather / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2011
By: HRA_Advisory
US equity markets had continued to benefit from export driven bottom line growth, but are now sagging on hesitancy about the US domestic economy ahead of QEII buoyancy drying up in June. The Dollar decline that allowed export strength has also boosted US import costs. This could mean a modest US summer driving season unless recent declines in oil prices continue.

Stock Market Continues to Consolidate / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Andre_Gratian
Very Long-term trend - The continuing strength in the indices is causing me to question whether we are in a secular bear market or two consecutive bull/bear cycles. In any case, the very-long-term cycles are down and, if they make their lows when expected, there will be another steep and prolonged decline into 2014-16.
Long-term trend - In March 2009, the SPX began a move which evolved in a bull market. Cycles point to a continuation of this trend for several more months.

Stock Market Bearish Whispers / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Adam_Brochert
I am not interested in shorting the stock market at this time. There is no confirmation that "the" top of the cyclical general equity bull market is in. This bull market is within the context of a secular equity bear market, which is far from over. When viewed in Gold terms (i.e. priced in Gold), this secular general equity bear market is deflationary. People still argue whether or not this bear market will end up being inflationary or deflationary when priced in U.S. Dollars.

Stock Market Memorial Weekend Update! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Dr_John_Trapp
I want to get this out early this weekend so I can enjoy the Holiday break. The chart is pretty self-explanatory. I’d like to think we will see a breakout of the regression channel and a break above the neckline again early next week.

Stock Market and Gold in the Land of Chop / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2011
By: WavePatternTraders
The markets went nowhere in a pretty flat week, they closed virtually where they opened, so no real clarity on the market direction, although we were working a few ideas going into last week, we think we are getting closer to a potential pattern or 2 patterns that should lead the way higher and see more upside from here.

Stock Market Clues in Vertical Credit Spreads and the Russell 2000 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: J_W_Jones
Before discussing why I think the S&P 500 may be setting up to rally I have to discuss an options strategy that often times is overlooked. Besides writing covered calls and cash-secured naked puts (same risk profile by the way), one of the most basic spread constructions available to option traders is the vertical spread.

Stock Market Bottoming Soon / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Tony_Caldaro
Another choppy week in the US stock market that led to the fourth consecutive, albeit small, weekly loss. On the economic front positive reports outpaced negatives 8:5. On the negative side: durable goods orders, pending homes sales, the M1-multiplier, and the WLEI declined; while weekly Jobless claims rose. On the positive side: we had increases in new homes sales, the FHFA housing index, PCE prices, the monetary base and consumer sentiment. Remaining positive were Q1 GDP and personal income/spending.

Stock Market Down Month....Bulls Holding Key Support....Bears Holding Key Resistance.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Jack_Steiman
Boring times such as we are experiencing now can also be construed as interesting if you dig underneath the "nowhere" movement of the market. It's really interesting how both sides are holding massive support and resistance when the charts approach them. So many times this past week the bears banged hard on 1315, even hitting 1311 intraday. They simply could not get the job done.

How “Social Proof” Helps Smart Investors / Stock-Markets / Investing 2011
By: David_Galland
David Galland, The Casey Report writes: As a young man in a foreign land, my curiosity was piqued by the crowd standing five or six deep in a circle. On pushing my way forward, the focus of the crowd’s attention quickly became apparent – a fight, although for reasons I’ll explain momentarily, “fight” is not the right word.

Seasonality and Global Stock Markets / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Sy_Harding
When investors think of the stock market’s annual seasonality, as expressed by the adage ‘Sell in May and Go Away’, they usually relate it to the U.S. market.
But in fact the historical pattern of stock markets making most of their gains in the winter months, and experiencing most of their bear market declines and corrections in the unfavorable summer months, is also common in global markets as well.

The Stock Market Coming 6-year Cycle Peak / Stock-Markets / Cycles Analysis
By: Clif_Droke
The year 2011 to date has seen its share of ups and downs in the financial market, yet nothing like the volatility of 2010 has made its appearance. With an important long-term yearly cycle scheduled to peak in just a few months, this would be a good time to look ahead as we try to discern what the balance of the year will bring.Read full article...

How to Profit from the Global Shipping Industry / Stock-Markets / Sector Analysis
By: Money_Morning
Larry D. Spears writes:
The shipping industry plays an indispensable role in connecting consumers with their most cherished goods. But many investors unfamiliar with its inner-workings underestimate its potential as a massive profit generator.
Meanwhile, investors who are aware of its importance, and can track the volatile ups and downs of the companies that provide shipping services, frequently score big gains from its oft-repeating profit opportunities.

Equities And Treasuries Forecasting Past Recessions / Stock-Markets / Recession 2008 - 2010
By: Tony_Pallotta
One thing the 2007 recession taught us is how horrible the equity market was at forecasting economic contraction. The S&P 500 peaked in October 2007, just two months before the recession officially began. By contrast the 2001 recession saw the S&P 500 peak nine months earlier.

Essential Investor Knowledge For Maximizing Real Gains / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2011
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“Since its inception in 1913, The Federal Reserve Board has been responsible for almost 95% devaluation of the U.S. Dollar. All this has been achieved through its ability to continually inflate the money supply.
And, between 1985 and 2005, the Federal Reserve Board has increased the money supply by five times. This extraordinary money creation is merely the catalyst for debt creation. In a fiat money system, money is debt…there is absolutely no way this money can ever be repaid except by continued inflation. But, now that the credit bubble is blown up, inflation is no longer an option; bankruptcy looms.”
