Stock and Commodity Investors Profiting in "the whipsaw year" 2010 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“The U.S. Economy faces a “significant chance” of contracting again after emerging from its worst recession since the 1930s, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz said.
“It’s not clear that the U.S. is recovering in a sustainable way,” Stiglitz, a Columbia University professor, told reporters in New York…He said the crisis of the past year was made worse by lax regulation that allowed some financial firms to grow so large that the system couldn’t handle a failure of any of them.”

Could the Fed Be Manufacturing Another Stock Market Crash? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Graham_Summers
A week ago, I wrote an essay titled Bonds, Not Stocks, Will be the Big Story in 2010. In it, I detailed how the US Treasury is now facing a debt spiral: a situation where it needs to issue roughly $150 billion of new debt per month WHILE rolling over TRILLIONS in existing debt at a time when investors are willing to lend to it for shorter and shorter periods of time.

Stock Market Top? Gold to Rise? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Brian_Bloom
Summary: For some weeks this analyst has been unwaveringly bearish flowing from the in-your-face disconnect between the weak underlying fundamentals of the US economy and the short term technical bullishness of the US equity markets. He has consistently argued that what we were witnessing was an upside bounce within a Primary Bear Market – aided and abetted by a Federal Reserve which some analysts have been arguing has been meddling in the markets via its plunge protection team. This view – that we are in a Primary Bear Market – is now being validated.Read full article... Read full article...

Diamonds are not a Stock Trader’s Best Friend / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
As a follow-up on the Not-So-Orthodox Broadening Top, I would like to present the idea of yet another extension in the rally that may not be totally unexpected. The saying that, “The markets may remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” comes to mind as traders have thrown in the towel multiple times after expecting an end to this rally.

Money Sector Rotating...Not Leaving The Stock Market... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
This is maybe the single most important aspect of what's been happening with the stock market. Take a moment to reflect on the past many months. For a very long time the bears could not understand why the market was holding up with the banks and the rest of the financial stocks doing so poorly. Day after day we saw major stock leaders in that area of the market losing its 50-day exponential moving average.

Bernanke, the Wonderful Wizard of USD, Forecasts 2010 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Brady_Willett
The same day President Richard Nixon closed the "gold window” Ron Paul entered politics. Dr. Paul has been fighting to end the Federal Reserve ever since - he has been supporting a bill to audit the Fed since 1976. In 2009 Congressman Ron Paul’s bill to audit the Fed was included in the Wall Street reform bill and passed by the House. Only the Senate* stands in front of Congressman Paul’s heroic battle to audit the secretive act of the central bank wizards.

The Chinese OBESSION with Video Games Offers Investment Opportunities 2010 / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Tony_Sagami
My sister calls them Asian nerds. She is talking about some of our single Asian male friends who spend most of their spare time playing games, like golf and video games, instead of meeting girls.
My three boys have a little bit of that nerd in them, too. They are great kids, but one of the things that we regularly butt heads over is how much time they spend playing video games. They’d play all day long if I let them.

Stock Market Lateral But Stable... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Jack_Steiman
And that's not to be diminished in its importance. You don't have to keep blasting higher all the time to say that things look good. The 60-minute time frame charts got very overbought again and thus it is no surprise that the market didn't rocket up today, but all in all the action was solid for some very important reasons I will discuss later in this report. We started out with a small move down today but it didn't take long for the churning to begin once the initial sellers did their deed. The Nasdaq sold hardest but that didn't stop the other indexes from hanging in there. In fact, the Nasdaq ended up down only 7 points, but when you consider how some of its leaders acted, it has to be considered a victory for the bulls. Bottom line is the market continues its basic lateral consolidation as the oscillators play up and unwind.

Dismal Decade My Assterisk, Stock Market Cycle Investing / Stock-Markets / Investing
By: Steve_Selengut
From the end of 1999 through the end of 2009, all of the popular Wall Street market performance measurement tools were in the red. The average bloodletting level of the DJIA, the S & P 500, and the NASDAQ was a disturbing-to-some minus nineteen percent.
The Media has dubbed it "The Dismal Decade".

2010 Gathering Giant Economic and Financial Storm Clouds / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Jim_Willie_CB
The year 2008 bore my mark as the year the system broke. A public article addressed the issues, laid out before the breakdown occurred in September of that year. The consequences for the many failures, the desperate nationalizations, the hasty scrambles to put financial sewage under USGovt ownership, the realization of TARP as a vast slush fund for illegitimate bank rescues, the official monetization plans put forth to prevent bond implosions, and much more occurred in the year 2009 as a recognized aftermath. Here we are in 2010 and the threats must again be laid out.

Stock Market Outlook for 2010, Growth and Risk Appetite Returns / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Donald_W_Dony
The stock markets in 2009 roared upward over 30%. This advance far outstripped fundamental valuations and expectations from many analysts and investors. The fuel for this rise can be largely attributed to the massive government stimulus program. But with the "march of money" anticipated to be removed in 2010, have the equity indexes recovered enough to climb higher without continued tax payer funding or is this run nothing more than a bear market bounce?

Mutual Fund Cash Levels Do Not Support the Stock Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010
By: Claus_Vogt
As a group, mutual fund managers are as good a contrarian indicator for the stock market as they come. History shows that they hold relatively high cash levels at the beginning of a bull market. Then at the end of a bull market they don’t have much cash since they’re more or less fully invested.

2009 Annus Horribilis / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: John_Browne
Now that 2009 has passed into history, analysts have flooded the public with their opinions on how the events of the past year will impact the coming years. While most are optimistic, I feel that last year's developments have greatly exaggerated the imbalances in the U.S. economy. Although we may see a temporary respite from the turbulence, these mistakes will hinder our long-term viability. I fear that we have gone down a road that will destroy the value of the dollar and may even threaten the political stability of the United States.

The Gates of Financial and Economic Hell Have Opened / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2010
By: Bob_Clark
The abyss is widening, many have already fallen in. The Fat Boys at Goldman say they are doing God's work, do they really believe that. Maybe they know dark secrets we are not privy to. What does God's work entail? Stopping fear and panic? Holding up asset prices and presenting the illusion of a stable, recovering economy? If they fail, then hell will follow.

2010 Financial Markets and Economic Tipping Point Forecast / Stock-Markets / Great Depression II
By: James_Quinn
For the last week or two “experts” and pundits have been making their forecasts for 2010. I always take these forecasts with a grain of salt. The people making the forecasts generally have some skin in the game and will tailor their forecast to benefit their particular agenda or investment portfolio. I pride myself on dishing out punishment to both political parties and most investment shills. I will take on the thankless task of predicting the future. Below are my prognostications in the areas of the economy, domestic politics, global geopolitics, and the investment markets.

The Most Proftiable Investment Themes for 2010 / Stock-Markets / Investing 2010
By: Money_Morning
Shah Gilani writes: If the crippling financial events of 2008 and 2009 proved one thing, it's that investors need to rethink the entire philosophy of "portfolio management."
Today, the best-performing managers around the world manage their portfolios based on broad-and-potent market themes. And with good reason.
