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.

Robert Prechter Called the Stock Market Uptrend 'Out' in April / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: EWI
Even non-sports fans have heard by now about the recent debacle known as Baseballgate.
With two outs in the ninth inning, a first-base umpire called "SAFE" when the runner was clearly "OUT." But this was no ordinary missed call; it cost Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game.

Stock Markets Set For A Risky Wednesday / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
U.S. stocks rose Tuesday, pushing the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index up 1.1% after another rollercoaster ride of a day. The index had swung between gains and losses at least 13 times, as a rally in commodity markets boosted oil and metals producers and overshadowed losses in semiconductor companies

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.

Stocks Bull and Bear Market Simple Indicator / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: DailyWealth
Dr. Steve Sjuggerud writes: I don't know why everyone doesn't get it.
Let's see if you do: When the stocks are above the blue line, it's a bull market, and you want to own stocks. When stocks are below the blue line, it's a bear market.

Stock Market Reverses At Support...Internals Poor..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
Much to discuss with lots of different possibilities here, although I will tell you exactly what I think, of course. I won't take the low road and give you 30 maybes so I can't be wrong. I'll lay out the scenarios, but will give you a definitive answer as to what I think takes place when all is said and done.

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. As you dig deeper into the financial underworld, you'll find that this sleeping giant may just be the puppet master of finance and government.

Europe Stocks Down, U.S. Up, Which Way Tuesday? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Just another manic Monday with U.S. stocks getting another late doors water boarding sending the S&P’s 500 Index to the biggest two-day loss since March 2009, with Google and Apple leading a drop in technology shares while Goldman Sachs were subpoenaed in the financial-crisis investigation. Apple lost 2% as the introduction of a new iPhone failed to boost the stock and Google shed 2.7% as Connecticut demanded information about data collection.

Stock Market and Bond Markets Better Than 2008, Is Not The Same As Good / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Richard_Shaw
Sure, things are not as bad in the stock and bond markets as they were in the depths of 2008 and 2009, but better isn't the same thing as good. The "worry list" in the marco-environment is too long and too severe to think of today as "normal" (unless you are talking about the PIMCO "new normal"), and there are price behavior signs that all is not well.

S&P500 Stuck Below Its 200-Day Average / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Richard_Shaw
The S&P 500 index (proxies SPY and IVV) has closed below its 200-day average now for 11 straight days. Outside of the "2008 pre-crash" that lasted about 4 months beginning 12/27/07, and the 2008 crash that lasted about 12 months beginning 5/20/08; the current period below the 200-day average is the second longest in the past several years. That's a bad sign.

By: Miles_Banner
The markets have been thrashed up and down. We’ve witnessed one of the greatest bull runs since the suckers rally in the 1930s, and whilst many are calling this a top, there are some that are calling this a market correction… albeit one that may last a few months.

How Investors Can Profit From Global Financial and Economic Threats / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Money_Morning
Shah Gilani writes: U.S. investors can be excused for feeling as if the sky is falling right now. After all, there are a lot of falling objects crushing investor sentiment, consumer confidence, financial portfolios - and any hope that the U.S. stock market can generate the kind of returns that will ever make investors whole again.

Stock Market Very Negative Start to the Week / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices started the week on a down note, although in the beginning of the session they did try an early rally that failed right at resistance. They rolled over to new pullback lows on the Nasdaq 100, and made slight new lows on the S&P 500. They tried to work their way back up, but failed at the declining topslines, rolled over in the afternoon, bounced with about an hour to go, and then got slam-dunked into the close.

Could This Be The Pause That Refreshes the Stock Market Trend? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: David_Grandey
The big question early this week is will be are we going straight to a retest of the recent lows if not more? Or are we going to backtest Monday? If we backtest we’ll be looking at shorting another name or two on our watch list.
Well folks it sure looks like a backing and filling type of day thus far with bouts of volatility back and forth.
