Stock Market Sentiment Major Change Underway / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment
By: Graham_Summers
Let’s talk about sentiment.
Last week was the worst market week since March 2009. Similarly, the three-day decline from Wednesday through Friday was the worst three days since March 2009. The market is now officially in the red for 2010. And the persons we’ve identified as market props (Bernanke, Geithner, etc) are now beginning to come under intense fire for their actions.

Will the Stock Market Rebound from Last Week's Beating? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: MoneyMorning
Jon D. Markman writes: Stocks slipped sharply in the past three days as the underlying market weakness we've been highlighting for the past two weeks finally mattered. A number of better-than-expected earnings reports were ignored. Even the successful election of a Republican to one of Massachusetts' two Senate seats, which helped health-care stocks push the market up on Tuesday, wasn't enough.

Stock Market Outlook and Forecast Into Mid 2010 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Donald_W_Dony
Equity markets have enjoyed a near flawless advance since the March low. Now with the quick retracement last week, many investors are becoming concerned that a steep correction is in the making. It is important to remember that markets typically trade up 1/3rd of the time, down 1/3rd and flat 1/3rd. Models suggest that the probability of a period of horizontal trading is increasing as the bull market moves toward mid-2010.

Stock Market Price Plunge Means Lowering Expectations on Intervening Rallies / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Purely from a technical perspective, last week¹s price plunge indicates that significant near-term technical damage was inflicted on the heretofore dominant Mar-Jan uptrend (as viewed in the accompanying S&P 500 chart), and that additional price weakness should be expected into the beginning of February. Furthermore, my intermediate-term cycle work is poised to create headwinds into the end of Q1.

Are Commodities and the Stock Market Dow Index Dead? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Chris_Vermeulen
It was a heart pounding week on Wall Street as traders and investors locked in profits during 2010’s first round of earnings season. While it is normal to see selling of shares after good news hits the market, last weeks melt down was over exaggerated and for good reasons.

Stock Market Heading for Black Monday Crash? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Clive_Maund
On Friday Goldman Sachs and J P Morgan broke down decisively from their Head-and-Shoulders tops, a development that we predicted before the open based in large part on the huge downside volume in these stocks on Thursday. The Put options that we bought in the early trade in GS and JPM soared, some contracts rising by about 50% by the close. This bearish development caused shockwaves to spread through the market which accelerated to the downside late in the day. After 2 days of heavy losses the Precious Metals stocks indices stopped for a breather just above their 200-day moving averages, and closed virtually unchanged on the day.

Stock Market Correction, Watch for Bearish Downtrend / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Peter_Navarro
In my previous weekly newsletter, I urged extreme caution in the market until the question of whether the market was at the beginning of a correction had been resolved. This last week, with the American stock market taking its worst set of consecutive losses since bouncing off the March lows, we got our answer. The market is definitely in a correction.

Obama Hits the Banks that Hit Stocks and Commodities, UK Inflation Soars / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The big news story of the week was Obama being shocked into action on the Banks AFTER the bruising election result from Massachusetts, which followed a year of dithering on the financial sector reforms issue. Obama has been a huge disappointment during his first year as the U.S. electorate had CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE rammed down their throats during the campaign, however we have seen very little actual change where even his flag ship health reforms have now basically been put onto the back burner. Perhaps Obama has now CHANGED and he will actually do something that he has long promised to do i.e. to hold the banks to account and real reforms to prevent them from bankrupting the United States. Obama's announcement immediately triggered sharp falls on the stock market which had been ripe for a correction for several weeks, just waiting for the trigger to begin correcting.

Stock Market Investors Remain Poorly Positioned to Weather a Sell Off / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Guy_Lerner
After notching a high earlier in the week for this rally that started in March, 2009, the S&P500 went on to lose over 5% in 3 trading days. This puts the S&P500 below the November 13, 2009 closing high. In the short term, "everyone" expects the proverbial bounce giving pause to bulls and bears alike, but make no mistake about it, investors remain poorly positioned to weather a sell off.

Protect Your Portfolio From Global Emergencies in Energy, Water, Food, Climate and Debt / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Sean_Brodrick
The global economy is an amazing study in contradictions. China and India both seem to be booming again, while our economy and nation has some serious problems.
America’s problems include a huge and growing national debt, stubbornly high unemployment, a Congress that is for sale to the highest bidder and more. These problems should continue to weigh on America’s economic recovery, and should steepen any real market correction.

Lessons from the Stock Market Panic of 1907 / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Clif_Droke
In their timely look at the panic of 1907, Robert Bruner and Sean Carr focus attention on what they believe to be the underlying causes of the ’07 stock market crash and recession, drawing parallels between it and the credit crisis of more recent times. Their book, “The Panic of 1907: Lessons Learned from the Market’s Perfect Storm,” is now available in soft cover published by John Wiley & Sons (2007).Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Warning, Sell or Hedge / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Martin_D_Weiss
From its intraday high to this morning’s low, the Dow has lost over 430 points just in the last three trading days … breaking through critical support … raising the specter of AT LEAST a big correction, and … foreshadowing a possible return of the debt crisis this year.
Ergo, this is a flash update to help you start thinking about — and preparing for — a market turn in the making, which could be a MAJOR one.
