Stock Market Waiting for the Fat Lady! / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Dr_John_Trapp
ES has been crawling higher, delaying a correction that is inevitable. So we are waiting for the fat lady to sing and announce that W3 is over and a substantial W4 is underway. I warn against being premature with a short, since timing is everything. My charts are always a little funky around contract rollover dates since the continuous symbol does not always chart out the same as the current contract and the underlying index. I am using the December contract for my charts. I think it is the most accurate data.

Stock Market Dancing At The Breakout.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
The stock market has been hanging around the upper end of its trading range for a while now. It seemingly doesn't want to pull back very much, but clearly it is struggling to make the bigger move up and out above 1105. Small sticks as we get closer and closer to making the move bulls so sorely want. Yesterday was interesting. It was able to close over 1105, but it's hard to get very excited. You have to wonder why it's so hard for either side to make a larger move. The bears seem unable to take it down, although they are holding the line. Normally, when a market struggles to make the big move up and out, the other side will come in hard and reverse the trend. Doesn't matter which way that is.

Stock Markets At Ideal Consolidation Point / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: David_Grandey
What we really want to key in on here is that of the 60 minute index charts that have served us so well over the past few years.
One look at the S&P 500 and you see the 78.6% Fibonacci level we talked about over the weekend. Yesterday we tagged it and immediately got a downside reaction off of it.

Stock Market Rally Getting Ridiculous, Gold Potential Double Top / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Elevated unemployment is here to stay. - (Bloomberg) The U.S. economy will slow more than previously estimated through next year as elevated unemployment tempers consumer spending and companies trim investment plans, economists surveyed by Bloomberg News said.
Economists’ dimmer outlook is at odds with that of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, who said conditions are in place for a pickup in growth next year. Survey participants also pushed back the timing of the Fed’s first rate increase to the fourth quarter of 2011 from the prior three months.

Behold! A New Stock Market Chart Pattern to Consider / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Barry_M_Ferguson
To those of us who consider ourselves 'technical analysts', we are always perusing charts for known patterns to help forecast trend lines. Our world is limited to a relatively few established patterns that have been studied for centuries. However, we must all understand that economies change, markets change, and primary market influences change. It follows that technical patterns should also change and expand.

Surmounting the Gold Confiscation or Financial Collapse Scenario / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010

“It is absurd that the United States has a central bank that is more accountable to the financial industry than it is to the public.”“The Rally against Obamacare for the Banks” Dean Baker, The Guardian, 9/23/09Read full article... Read full article...
“…Only liquidation of the biggest banks can enable a recovery, period!! Of course, the process is complicated, especially politically. Actually, it is more than political, since the big banks control the USGovt. The response reaction from gold & silver will give loud messages to systemic failure, as money is wasted, invested in failure, and directed to the elite troughs…

By: Money_Morning
Larry D. Spears writes:
The stock market as a whole just turned in its worst August performance since 2001, with the major indexes posting losses ranging from 4% to 6%. Yet despite those negative numbers, there was one group that didn't act bearish at all - corporate insiders.

Five Ways to Profit From the World's Safest Economy / Stock-Markets / Canadian Stock Market
By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes:
I've said it once, and I'll doubtless say it a few dozen more times before the U.S. economy returns to health: Just because you have to endure recessionary conditions doesn't mean that your money has to.
That's the argument I make when I urge Americans to search for investments outside U.S. borders. Ironically, your money doesn't have to travel all that far: What's arguably the world's "safest economy" is actually located just north of the border.

Stock Market Choppy, Corrective Session / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a very choppy session. They gapped up strongly at the opening, but that was it right there at the highs in the first couple minutes. They pulled back in an orderly fashion, tried to come back on, but when they couldn't get through the highs they rolled over with the sharpest sell-off by mid-day and early afternoon. That stabilized their support and contributed to a snapback rally, which took back about 50%-60% of its losses. However, in the last 15 minutes they rolled over rather hard and pared back the gains somewhat further.

A Few Reasons to Doubt the September Stock Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Sy_Harding
After being down for three straight weeks, the market was up for four straight days last week, was down 107 points on Tuesday of this week, but then bounced back 46 points yesterday. So it’s now been up five of the last six days.
The catalyst for the rally has been a few economic reports that were a bit better than Wall Street’s forecasts, mixed in with other reports indicating that economic growth, which slowed to just 1.6% in the second quarter, is slowing further in the 3rd quarter.

Stock Markets Cheered by Fall in US Weekly Jobless Claims / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
US markets, albeit on very low volumes, moved higher upon hump day as sentiment was boosted by a successful Portugal debt auction and talk surrounding further fiscal stimulus measures from the Whitehouse. The premium that investors demand to hold Portuguese 10-year government bonds instead of benchmark German bunds fell to 3.59 percent post the auction, after widening to as much as 3.72 percent earlier, while speculation mounted that Obama will announce an additional $180bn package.

Brazil, Dump this Market Now! / Stock-Markets / Brazil
By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes:
Batten down the hatches. Brazil, the media-darling of the world financial press and the poster child for emerging-markets investing, is heading directly into the eye of the storm.
Until now, Brazil has provided investors with a thoroughly rewarding run. Investors who followed Money Morning's October 2008 call to buy the iShares MSCI Brazil Index (NYSE: EWZ) have notched a 160% return.
