Stocks Bear Market Rally Update, Dissent with Authority / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Joseph_Russo
One of the most essential elements present at the very founding of America was that of well-reasoned and persistent dissent.
A healthy and aggressive dissent against proclamations of those in authority often results in clearer perspectives on matters of substantial import.

Has the Wall Street Journal Lost its Mind? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
In a recent piece from the Wall Street Journal titled “Stocks' Parallel Universe,” columnist Richard Barley paints a relatively rosy picture for an otherwise unexciting stock market. Using recent data and historical examples, Barley attempts to solidify the “soaring” (which is 5.2% year to date) returns of the stock market as a function of an improving economy and stock market. In our humble opinion, his analysis couldn't be further from the truth.

Stock Market More and More Chum / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
The market can not blast higher but has been able to grind higher. There is a reason for this. When markets get full or mature short term only, they need some selling to unwind these overbought conditions. The bull keeps it grinding higher and we have been great beneficiaries of this, but the reality is, there can be no real blast off from here without some real selling first. You can feel the "fullness" of this market. It tried to overcome early morning selling and did its usual good job of doing so but all day was spent in grind mode. The rubber band will snap.

Stock Market Toppy Tuesday, LA City Runs Out of Money on June 30th? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
Is Los Angeles unique or just the first?
City Controller Wendy Greuel declared an "urgent financial crisis" and said the only way to continue paying bills in the short term was to begin to drain the city’s already limited emergency reserve. Greuel said the city would need to pull money from its $191 million in reserve funds immediately to pay its bills next month. She expects the city to be out of money, and probably in the red, by June 30. Some officials fear that using that money would not only leave the city without reserves in case of emergencies, it would also probably trigger another downgrade in its Wall Street credit ratings.

Monday Stock Market Movement - Can We Go It Alone / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
It’s lonely out there in Stock Land today. Everybody’s closed today except Japan and they are so thrilled with 94.5 Yen to the dollar that you can’t figure anything out by watching their market add another 53 points this morning to finish the day at 11,339 but it was well off the gap up open at 11,400. As I mentioned in the Weekend Wrap-Up, where we discussed our Super-Secret Strategy for making money off this nonsense - just because a rally is totally propped up BS doesn’t mean it isn’t, technically, a rally - does it?

Stocks Valuations and Market Psychology, Greed is the Winner, Fear is Waiting / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Shaily
One of the best newsletters that I have read recently is the Greed and Fear, edited by Chris Wood. Remarkable for its clarity and yet leaving enough material for the analyst to make his own calls.

Why the Stocks Bulls Can Stand Strong at Home and Overseas / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes: Stocks enjoyed another plus week, closing one of the better Marches of the past 80 years. It seems like ages since volatility has been this low, and there have been many complaints about complacency and listlessness. Yet those concerns may be misplaced if indeed we are enjoying the second leg of a normal bull cycle. Low volatility in a bearish phase does suggest complacency, to be sure, but in a bullish phase it serves more to keep expectations in check.

Stocks Bucking Bronco Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: PhilStockWorld
What a crazy week!
The markets were bucking like a bronco but were they trying to throw off the shorts prior to a move back down or trying to flush out the weak-handed longs prior to a big breakout to new levels? After gapping open to 10,900 on Monday morning we went up to 10,950, down to 10,830 and back to 10,950 - all to finish the week at 10,927, which is up 39 points since March 23rd so don’t tell me we’re wasting out time as that’s 5 points a day baby (if we round up).

Stock Market Overbought, and at Resistance! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Piazzi
S&P has been hanging in there near resistance. That should be quite frustrating to bears and out-of-position bulls.

Financial Manipulation on Wall Street: An Economy run on Smoke and Mirrors / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Bob_Chapman
We have an economy run on smoke and mirrors, based on the manipulation of markets. That was accomplished via the executive order signed by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 in the aftermath of the stock market collapse of October 19, 1987, known as the “President’s Working Group on Financial markets.” This order intended to be implemented during emergencies has been used to manipulate markets worldwide 24/7.

Stock Market Investor Sentiment, A Different Look / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment
By: Guy_Lerner
Very often when looking at sentiment indicators, many market practitioners view the data as an all or nothing phenomenon. Either we are all in or too extreme in our opinions, and it is in those extremes that market turning points occur. That is how it is suppose to work. But as we have found out in 2009 (like in 1995 and 2003), prices can continue meaningfully higher despite extreme readings in the indicators. It should be obvious that looking for extremes to call turning points in the markets doesn't work all the time.

Crude Oil, Gold, Bonds and S&P Update from Commitment of Traders Report: Oil is Bullish / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Shaily
S&P short interest have hardly changed giving us very little clues after last weeks record short covering by large funds and institutions. There have been no follow up to the short covering and hence leaves the downside exposed for the coming week. We expect the S&P to correct and continue to be bearish short term. While our bearish all last week has not born fruit, it has not harmed us either as S&P still is stitting at the juncture where it can correct strongly to levels closer to 1120.

Stock Market Crash of 2014 / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Daniel_Bruno
At market turning points, mood is often extreme. Take the pessimism at the start of Obama’s term in January, 2009. Who would have guessed that Barack Obama’s first year in office would be the best for stock market shareholders in 76 years.? What’s more, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, which gained 70% in the past 12 months, has a lot of room to run if history is a guide. Since the 1960’s, the average bull market has lasted about 1000 trading days and the current run up has exhausted less than 27% of that time. It will still be running up during the 2012 presidential election, reversing the appalling loss of 3.3 million jobs in 2009 and boosting the already strong odds that Obama will win a second term.

Stock Market Up Or Down Get Your Watch List Ready / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: David_Grandey
The theme over the past week or so has been that of no follow through and no decisiveness.
Earlier in the week we said we'd rather get that 1180 level out of the way and here we are tagging 1180 into the holiday. So now the moment of truth. Do we stall here? Or is it away we go to the 1226 level on the S&P 500. We'll find out some time next week. The big matrix computers make that call.
