Stock Market Investor Sentiment: It Would Be Better If... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Guy_Lerner
It would be better if prices on all of the major indices: 1) decisively broke their 200 day moving averages; 2) closed below weekly support levels; and 3) closed below the February, 2010 lows. It would be better if the prior week's pullback, which morphed into this week's "correction", actually caused investors to utter the "b" word -- as in bear market. It would be better if investors had their spirit's broken as investor sentiment actually turned bearish (i.e., bull signal).

Deficits To Go Galactic, Sell in May and Run Away . . . Fast / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Gary_North
There is an old phrase regarding stock market investing: "Sell in May and go away." Recent markets have reinforced that saying.
Stock markets all over the world are falling. The first market to begin falling was China's. It peaked in early August of 2009. It struggled back, though not to its August peak, but is now falling. The decline is accelerating. It is down by about 25% in 2010.

By: Dian_L_Chu

Severely Oversold Stock Market Offers Up A Rally... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
The market gapped down big again this morning and the bears tried to follow through on the break below the 200-day exponential moving averages that went away at the close yesterday. They felt sure they had the bulls buried and who could blame them for feeling good about things. However, I sent out an early note telling everyone not to short the move lower as the market was extremely oversold and that shorting wouldn't bring about much satisfaction.

Stock Market Indices Finish Strong! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a very strong finish to the day to close positive on the session. The day started out very differently, however. The futures were lower, and the market gapped down at the opening and plunged early to new pullback lows, even taking out the May 6 flash crash lows on the S&P 500 by about 10 points.Read full article...

Stock Market Buy the Dip or Sell into any Rally? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Sy_Harding
When institutional investors, corporate insiders, professional investors, and hedge funds become concerned that the market has become overbought or over-valued and due for a correction they tend to sell early, making sure they will be selling into still rising prices. In fact, as their selling progresses it usually is the catalyst that causes the market to soon run out of steam and turn down even though others are still buying.Read full article...

Stock Market Breaks Down, Financial Regulation Too Little Too Late / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The U.S. Senate, bringing Congress to the brink of passing the most comprehensive regulation of the financial industry since the Great Depression, approved a bill that imposes restrictions on proprietary trading by banks and creates a consumer protection agency designed to prevent lending abuses that triggered the housing collapse and the worst unemployment in almost three decades.

Stock Gold, Dollar, Bond Markets Warning & Profit Opportunities Alert! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: DeepCaster_LLC

FREE eBook reveals why the Fed is powerless to change the economic course

Surge in Strategic Defaults Threatens U.S. Housing Market Recovery / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Don Miller writes: A growing number of homeowners who owe more on their mortgages than their property is worth are opting for "strategic default," which means walking away from their homes, even though they can afford to make their monthly payment.
If the trend accelerates, it could put more empty houses on a market that's already overburdened with vacancies and snuff out any recovery in the moribund housing market.

Stock Market Brief / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Christopher_Quigley
Due to lower highs and lower lows on both the Dow Industrials and Dow Transports there is
now a change of trend in existence in the markets. How low this correction will continue no
one can be sure. A bounce can be expected at any time due to the fact that the market is
terribly oversold based on Stochastics and the McClennan Summation Index.

Politicians Battle Against Markets, The Sovereign Policies of Insolvency / Stock-Markets / Global Debt Crisis
By: Ty_Andros
The greatest transfer of wealth from those who hold it in paper to those who don’t is underway; a Crack-up Boom looms.
It’s time to put on your battle gear and man your stations as the “when hope turns to fear” (see 2010 outlook in Tedbits archives) moment has arrived. As the G7 financial systems lurch towards their demise, insanity is on plain display in the capitals of the developed world, with the purchasing power of all G7 currencies (Pounds, Swiss Francs, Euros and Dollars of all stripes) in free fall -- as measured in the only REAL currencies in the world: GOLD and SILVER. &

Stock Market Historic Setback! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices suffered a historic setback today in terms of the technicals, and in terms of points it was quite nasty as well. There was a huge gap down at the opening, followed by a short consolidation, which was followed by more selling. It did bounce in the morning, but then made lower lows and reached the session lows on the Nasdaq 100 during the lunch hour. At that point they had a strong 3-wave rally back, but failed at secondary resistance at 1840 on the NDX and 1095 on the S&P 500.

Stock Market Collapse....200's Gone... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
For now, all we can do is judge the market by the message it sends. The message it sent today was bearish. No other way to say it. No other way to spin it. A plethora of sectors and stocks were in nasty bear markets before today, but after today we can add the S&P 500 to that list with the reality that the Dow and Nasdaq are close. Both are now under their 200-day exponential moving average, but only by 1%, while the S&P 500 is below by 3%, which is far more confirming. The WLSH 5000 also fell below the 200-day exponential moving average today and this has, like it says, 5000 stocks, thus it's very broad based.

If you look closely at the chart below (courtesy Bigcharts.com) you will see that volumes have been creeping up since the 1000 point fall the week before last. When prices fall on rising volume that is evidence of selling pressure
