S&P Stock Market Long Term Report Part 1 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
With so much uncertainty in the world about Sovereign debt, alleged GDP growth figures from the U.S. (and others) and government issued inflation figures that are risible, the investor is left with a very confused picture as to whether we are in or entering a period of massive inflation or deflation. There are economists on both sides of the fence who are putting forward very plausible arguments to support both sides. This report will examine the technical picture of the S&P and guide you with the use of my charts as to where we are in the market and where it may be going in the future.

The Looming Financial Holocaust, Massive Bearish Patterns Across Multiple Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
We had expected the broad stockmarket and the resource sector to stabilize and start to recover last week and they did, and while we are likely to see further recovery in the days and perhaps weeks ahead, there have been some ominous developments in the recent past that we would be most unwise to ignore. The market did not go into full crash mode because it was not technically ready to, although it got close to it, and crucial support held - for now. However, heavy technical damage was inflicted and a broad review of long-term charts reveals that a blood-curdlingly dangerous setup has developed across a wide spectrum of markets.

Dow Theory Stocks Bear Market Rally Update / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
Based on the longer-term phasing and valuation aspects of Dow theory, it is my continued belief that the advance out of the March 2009 low has been a bear market rally. Specifically, based on my analysis and the data at hand today, I believe that this rally will ultimately prove to separate Phase I from Phase II of a much longer-term secular bear market. Historically, Phase II declines are the most devastating and it is my belief that once this bear market rally has run its course, the deflationary fallout into the Phase II decline will be far worse than what was seen between October 2007 and March 2009.

EXTEND & PRETEND: Its either RICO Act or Control Fraud / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
We are entering the Age of Rage.
It is presently most visible in Europe as austerity programs that potentially could shred a half century of social entitlement advances are met with increasingly violent street demonstrations. It is seen in the US Tea Party rallies with their fury that the very fabric which the US capitalist system is based on is being destroyed and discarded. Unfortunately these demonstrations of rage are focusing on the effects and not the cause. The cause is a systemic plaque of unenforced financial control fraud.

Heads up people. Something very big is happening in the global credit markets — something you darn well better pay attention to.
