Currencies, Crude Oil and Emerging Stock Markets Moves to Build On / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Ciovacco
Last week, we mentioned stocks could surprise by year-end. Some hopeful signs supporting that thesis are being given in the commodity, currency, and stock markets. Specifically, recent moves in the U.S. dollar, crude oil, Australian dollar, S&P 500, emerging markets, and Sweden provide some additional evidence a double-dip recession is not as likely as some believe.

Investor Opportunities via the Intensifying Challenges / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“At the moment Germany is pushing its neighbors into deflation; this threatens a long phase of stagnation, leading to nationalism, social unrest, and zenophobia. It endangers democracy.” - George Soros, Die Zeit, 6/23/10
“How about the bill does nothing to break-up the concentration of banking power in this country. The too-big-to-fail banks and other systemically dangerous institutions, that just got bigger with the help of government, are nuclear bombs. And not only that, they are crowding out more productive community banks that won't be able to compete with the giants who want to destroy them…

Stock Market Rally With Legs? Give It a Maybe! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Sy_Harding
In last weekend’s column I noted that the market was again short-term oversold and due for another rally attempt. But I said, “I’m not ready to turn bullish yet. Let’s see the second quarter earnings reports due out next week and how the market reacts to them.”Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Plot Thickens, Time to Reduce Exposure? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The plot thickens for the rally off of Tuesday morning's low at 1003 on the near-term point and figure chart, as the emini S&P 500 makes another marginal new high at 1071. That's the lower portion of my preferred next target zone of 1070-75, but no real selling pressure has emerged just yet that has approached the trigger of a near-term sell signal.

China SSEC and SPX Trend Divergence / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Zeal_LLC
In today’s ever-more interrelated financial world, China’s stock-market action is growing increasingly influential everywhere else. As the globe spins, the results of each day’s stock trading in China often spill over into Europe and then the States to affect sentiment. This impact is universal, but especially pronounced in sectors China plays a major role in like commodities stocks.

Stocks, Commodities and Economy, Baltic Dry Index points to …? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Brian_Bloom
The chart below – courtesy http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=BDIY:IND – shows that freight prices per ton of dry materials such as iron ore have been falling.
Of course, the chart could just as easily rise as it could continue to fall. This is not a chart of something which is the subject of financial speculation. Therefore, it does not lend itself to technical interpretation.

Stock Market Nothing Black..Excellent Action For The Bulls But Nas Lags.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
We gapped up today after yesterday's big move higher. This was critical for the bulls in that they needed to show follow-through from their big day yesterday. The fact that they gapped things up today was very interesting. A gap up in to the gap existing at Standard & Poor's Depositary Receipts (SPY) 1060. That's not how bear markets behave. You don't gap up in to a pre-existing gap down.

EXTEND & PRETEND: Stage I Comes to an End
The dog ate the report card
Both came to an end at the same time: the administration’s policy to Extend & Pretend has run out of time as has the patience of the US electorate with the government’s Keynesian economic policy responses. Desperate last gasp attempts are to be fully expected, but any chance of success is rapidly diminishing.

Five Reasons Why the S&P 500 Will Hit 1,350 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bull Market
By: Investment_U
Matthew Weinschenk writes: If you’ve talked yourself out of buying stocks recently, set aside your fears right now.
Fear is what kept many investors out of stocks when the bull market started in 2002. Seven years later, investors missed out again when the March 2009 bull market got underway.

By: PaddyPowerTrader
So auf wiedersehen Deutschland it is Core (Netherlands) vs PIIGS (Spain) in the World Cup final this Sunday so one thing is clear we will have a new World Champion the 8th after Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France, Italy, Uruguay and England.

Stock Market RSI 30 Bounce On Cue...Now We Learn More.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
It has been occurring for years. When the daily index charts get down to 30 RSI we seemingly always see a strong bounce take place. We hit those magic 30 RSI levels yesterday on the lows with the Nasdaq printing 28 while the Dow and S&P 500 came in with readings at 30. No good news took place overnight, yet our futures started rising slowly but gradually throughout the morning. We opened with a small move higher that soon became a trend day for the bulls as the bears recognized they had nothing left in the tank. They covered their shorts in droves as the market marched higher. Once it became clear that 1040 wouldn't hold any longer the bears threw in the towel.

Should Taxpayers Continue to Subsidize Goldman Sachs's Alleged Obscenity? / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis Bailouts
By: Janet_Tavakoli
The U.S.'s Financial Reform bill is over 2,000 pages. It includes exemptions and lots of opportunities to create loopholes. Behavior that caused our ongoing global financial crisis is guaranteed to continue, if we don't have swift and effective deterrents.
