Stock Market Rallies Still Getting Sold Into / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
A poor close on Wall Street last night with the pattern of attempted rallies getting sold into continues, driven in part by the corporate calamity that is BP which lost another 16% (on fears they may be forced to suspend their dividend) and BP CDS is now around 400bp 12x higher than before the leak. Also “Bear Sterns & Lehman style” put buying in BP is scaring the market. .Anadarko Petroleum Corp., which has a 25% stake in the leaking well, slid 19% to a 15-month low.

Financial Markets Without Guardrails / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Fred_Sheehan
Two significant changes are pushing markets towards a shakeout.
First, the bond markets are showing strains. For instance, both investment-grade and junk-rated companies are finding it more difficult to issue bonds. To put this in today's context, the momentum money that has pushed asset prices up since the spring of 2009 assumes, or believes, that governments will do whatever is necessary to sustain the upward march. Now there are doubts.

Moribund Investor Sentiment Is Jeopardizing the U.S. Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: The U.S. stock market is really at a critical juncture right now.
I'm all for being optimistic at the prospect of a super-oversold condition amid rampant pessimism. But bulls need to take charge of the controls of this sputtering plane. But now that they failed to yank the stick higher before the February lows, the bottom is really in danger of falling out.

Investment Lessons from Singapore / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Tony_Sagami
What did you do last weekend? I spent mine with 25,000 Singaporean investors.
Other than my home country of Japan, Singapore is my favorite city in the world. It is modern, clean, safe, vibrant, and chock full of investment opportunities. That is why it took me all of five seconds to say “yes” when the Securities Investors Association of Singapore (SIAS) invited me to participate in their annual gala investment conference.

Another Warning Bell Rings for the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Claus_Vogt
A short four weeks ago, the stock market impressed us with what was later dubbed a flash crash — a sudden 1,000 point plunge in the Dow Industrial Average, followed by an equally fast retracement of half the decline. Impressive, indeed, but also an important technical sign.

Sovereign Debt Concerns Continue to Hit Stocks and Commodity Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Douglas_V._Gnazzo
Global Economy - Sovereign debt concerns hang above the market like the sword of Damocles, ready to exact its deadly toll. With complete disregard for the inherent power of public speaking, a Hungarian diplomat stated there was a good chance that Hungary will be the next Greece; and that Hungary may default on their sovereign debt.
Needless to say, this did not calm an already roiled market. The contemplation of defaulting on sovereign debt seems to be in vogue. This is a warning of things to come: whether true or not, just the fact it was said depicts a faulty mindset towards debt repayment. The population at large, including the business and financial community, has been misled to believe in Keynesian voodoo economics.

The Derivatives Market and Reality / Stock-Markets / Derivatives
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
A market dependent on extreme leverage of already complex financial products does require at least some form of stability. This stability, often in the form of financial assistance, was made clear in 2008 when failing derivatives speculators were systematically bailed out after losing billions of dollars and threatening the entirety of the world economy.

Derivatives Market Bigger than the World Economy...Ten Times Over / Stock-Markets / Derivatives
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
The derivatives market may be better reserved for a fairy tale. Comprising a value worth more than a decade of the world's productivity, the derivatives market is the sleeping giant of all asset bubbles.
