Stocks Bear Market Rally Over / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Claus_Vogt
The stock market’s rise since the March 2009 lows was nothing more than a bear market rally. Yes, it was a huge rally, but not out of the realm of similar historical examples.
Low trading volume, still high valuations and lingering economic problems — especially within the real estate sector and the banking system — have been strong arguments for my outlook. And the history of burst real estate bubbles could serve as a blueprint for our current dilemma.

Stock Market Wall Of Worry For Wednesday / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
A disappointed close on Tuesday saw US equities shed most of their early gains. Initially well received bond auctions & syndicated deals from Austria & Spain boosted sentiment post US holidays. The most interesting snippet from the Spanish deal was that the Chinese Central Bank are reported to have been in for Eur 540m. This is potentially very significant as Asian accounts have been big sellers of European peripheral bond markets. This may mark a turning point in sentiment & could result in significant spread tightening as Asian accounts tend to hunt in packs

Martin Hutchinson writes: With the U.S recovery looking a bit iffy after last week's unemployment report, Japan and Britain battling huge budget problems and Europe in trouble because of the Greek debt crisis, investors have quite naturally shifted their focus to Asia.

Stock Market Disappointing Up-Session / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had an up-day today, but it was disappointing. The session started out with a big gap up. The indices ran to overhead resistance near 1765 on the Nasdaq 100 and as high as 1042.50 on the S&P 500. A steady decline ensued early within the first hour that took the indices back down to 1720 on the NDX, 45 points off its high, and 1018 on the SPX. A late rally snapped the indices back to resistance.

By: Anthony_Cherniawski
U.S. stocks gained, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index rising from a 10-month low, amid
speculation earnings growth will help equities rebound from their lowest valuations since the
bull market began in 2009. (LOL!)
The S&P 500 climbed 0.5 percent to 1,028.06 at 4 p.m. in New York after jumping 2 percent in the first hour of trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 57.14 points, or 0.6 percent, to 9,743.62 to snap a seven-day losing streak, its longest since the financial crisis in 2008.

Stock Market Death Cross, It is 1932 All Over Again / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
The Great Depression is a time that stands out as a time of great debate. During the Great Depression, FDR acted nearly exactly as we have in the Great Recession, expanding the size and scope of the government and pushing through new spending bills to incite economic activity. However, as the dust begins to settle from the first boom, investors are again looking for the bust.

Stock Market SP-500, GLD and GDX, Down More or Now Up? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: John_Townsend
Its mid afternoon Tuesday and the markets are selling off – still. It seems like it will never end. Big red candles on every chart I look. The VIX, the temperature gauge of fear, is rising again and the news headlines are filled with gut wrenching uncertainties about US Municipals, foreign countries that are characterized as ticking time bombs and opinion that we are headed for another Great Depression.Read full article...

Stock Market Approaches Bear Territory, S&P Near-Term Price Target 900 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Richard_Shaw
The S&P 500 is just about in official bear market territory (conventionally defined as down 20%). While the index closed on the stock market at about 1023 on Friday July 2, the CME Globex E-Mini index futures are at about 1006 at about 10:00 PM on July 5 before the July 6 open. That would place the index down 17.6%, and moving steeply downward.

Stock Market Trading, Two Issues You DON’T Want To Own / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: David_Grandey
Going into last week we said: “We’re in the middle of the road and could go either way”
Up to that point in time we were just looking at a normal pullback off the recent highs and everything was going according to that plan all up till the big gap down day. That gap pushed the markets down hard and fast and changed what was a normal pullback in the markets to a resumption of a full blown second leg down of this correction.

Cheap Valuations Spur Bulls to Buy Stocks / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
With the major stock market indices oversold on almost every metric and the S&P 500 finding critical support around the 1100, European markets have pushed ahead today. Valuations have reached a 16 month low at 12.5 times earnings and we all know what happed in March 2009! Now equity analysts are raising their earnings estimates for U.S. companies at the fastest rate since at least 2004 just as stocks post the biggest losses in 16 months. Profit for S&P 500 companies will jump 34 percent in 2010, compared with a projected gain of 27% on March 29, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The revision, the most during any quarter in at least six years, came as lower than forecast home sales, manufacturing and private sector job growth sent the benchmark gauge for American equities down 16% since April 23.

Bruce Watson writes: Predictions of the end of civilization are nothing new, but the direst prognosticators have, traditionally, existed on the fringes of society, where their dark visions can be comfortably attributed to an excess of libertarianism or a shortage of Prozac.

Stock Market Plunge Just Part of a Normal Pattern? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: Although the stock market plunge last week was certainly unsettling, history and a slew of positive leading indicators show that this may just be part of a normal pattern with better news ahead.
Stocks were hammered on Tuesday as a negative revision to an economic report out of China and fears over European bank funding set off a global firestorm of selling. A very weak consumer confidence report didn't help matters.

U.S. Stocks Death Cross, Heading Down, Deeper and Down / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Bob_Kirtley
After an impressive rally of over 80% from the lows made in March 2009, the US stock market looks ripe for another plunge south. This rally was never sustainable, rather than being built on solid fundamentals and a genuine economic and business recovery, it was merely the result of multi-billion dollar bailouts, near zero interest rates and the feeling that no matter how bad things get, the government will save the day and stop any Armageddon scenario.

Stock and Gold Market Analysis for Dow, Nasdaq, Bonds, IBM, AAPL and BIDU / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: JD_Rosendahl
The stock market finished last week on a down note. It couldn't find any legs all week long, as disappointing economic data rolled out all week, and uncertainty filled the market place. Even Biggs had concerns and sold stocks.
$INDU: The DOW traded down to its prior down trend line. The RSI has moved into oversold territory. There's nothing technically bullish so far on the DOW. The 50 and 200 day MAs are about to cross, which often can pull price in that direction, so maybe a little bounce next week, however, It still looks like this leg down has not finished.

Wall Street Stock Market Death Cross Signals Recession? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Pravda
The Standard & Poor's 500 50-day moving average stands poised to cross beneath the 200-day moving average. To those in the financial industry, this is known as a "death cross", and it is a very powerful indicator that we could be entering a bearish period. So is this yet another sign that we are on the verge of a recession? Well, anyone who has spent much time trying to interpret financial charts will tell you how inexact that science can be. Financial markets can be wildly unpredictable, and there is always a tremendous amount of manipulation going on behind the scenes.

By: PaddyPowerTrader
U.S. stocks dropped again Friday, pre the holiday weekend, condemning the Dow to its longest losing streak since the 2008 leg of the financial crisis, on concern the economic rebound is slowing after companies added fewer jobs than consensus expectations and factory orders slumped. General Electric, Caterpillar and Bank of America all shed at least 1.2% to lead the Dow to a seventh straight decline. Elsewhere Equity Residential, the largest publicly traded U.S. apartment landlord, fell 24% after Citigroup downgraded the shares. Airlines also retreated while drug makers rallied on takeover speculation.
