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.”

Stock Market Trending Toe To Toe... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Jack_Steiman
It's a heavyweight battle between the bulls and the bears. No one is able to take the other one down. Each side lands a few good blows, but somehow neither one will go down. Solid chins on both sides. The bulls have held the line rather well when it looked like all was lost. The bears held things down when it looked like the bulls were ready to rock higher after the first small pullback roughly three weeks back. The trend has been lower over the past month, but the amount of losses incurred are rather small. Only about 4.5% as of the close of trading today. That losses have done their job in that the daily index charts have unwound quite a bit off of overbought. In fact, severely overbought, especially on the weekly charts which are also flashing negative divergences still.

U.S. Dollar’s Impact on the Stock Market, Gold, Silver, and Crude Oil / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2011
By: J_W_Jones
In doing some brief reading around the blogosphere I have noticed that most pundits are writing off gold, silver, and oil entirely. In fact, I have even read that the selloff is just beginning in precious metals and energy. In addition to the bearish traders, it seems as though even more traders are expecting some period of consolidation. Lower prices and a period of consolidation make sense, but what I am more interested in at this stage is a clear setup that offers solid risk / reward.Read full article... Read full article...
