By: Anthony_Cherniawski
U.S. equity benchmark indexes fell from 13-month highs as energy shares slumped following bigger- than-estimated growth in oil stockpiles, erasing an earlier advance spurred by Hewlett-Packard Co.’s takeover of 3Com Corp. The dollar rose the most versus the euro since August.

Stock Market Reversal Session / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Harry_Boxer
The indices finally backed off as profit taking finally set in, but they started with a bang to the upside early on and hit nominal new 2009 highs before they began to back off in the morning.
At that point they began to stair-step lower in a nice orderly down-channel all day. I'm not sure if that means we're getting the start of a significant down move just yet, but we'll see if they can at least get downside follow-through in the next day or two.

The Stock Market is Going Lower, Buy Stocks…Now? / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Q1_Publishing
It sounds crazy, I know.
All signs point to the market heading lower. The major indices are fundamentally overvalued, the real economy has barely improved, and expectations are approaching lofty highs.

Stock Market Forming a Major Top? / Stock-Markets / Technical Analysis
By: Chris_Ciovacco
Every time a major stock index approaches a new high, invariably we can find calls that "a major top has already been made". We have seen several such articles in recent weeks. While these incessant calls for a major top may be 100% accurate at the present time, a review of historical major tops gives little support for such a claim. A short-term top within a major bull market can occur at anytime, but major tops do not occur very often.

Stock Market Hesitation At Resistance...Some Doij's.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
Doji's today, which mean an equal number of sellers to buyers, once we gapped up early on says, there could be a pause in the bullish action over the next day or so. It doesn't have to take place, but be prepared for that possibility. It says the possibility is made more real by the fact that we're at some really tough longer-term resistance at 1101 S&P 500. That doesn't mean individual stocks can't be owned. It simply tells us that having too much exposure, say 50% or more right here, makes little sense, and you have to own the best of each sector if you do own stocks. Own stocks that have unwound or have gaps underneath them so there's strong support.

Support Holds as Stock Market Indices Eek Out More Gains / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Harry_Boxer
The markets managed to eek out another gain today, although they had a rough road. Despite the early big gap-up and strong surge that took them to new 2009 highs, taking out the October highs on both indices, they reversed sharply lower, bounced and then came down and made lower lows, but only slightly, and couldn't follow-through to the downside in mid-afternoon when they hit their session lows. Then an afternoon 3-wave rally brought them back towards intraday resistance but closed them right there.

The Problem With Risk / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Kevin_George
As the U.S. dollar carry trade continues unabated, it would be wise to look at the last instances of such biased positioning. The price of ‘risk’ assets, which include currencies, commodities and stocks, continue to rise inversely to the dollar’s decline almost tick for tick. The flood of cheap money taking advantage of near-zero interest rates continues to chase positive returns in any risky asset class, which is rising in the honeymoon period of stimulus and quantitative easing.

S&P Stocks Index Approaching Key Support / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The tension in the market today is palpable, isn’t it? The dollar goes down, and stocks, metals and commodities go up. The dollar rallies off of oversold, and stocks, metals and commodities pull back. That said, however, let’s notice on the hourly chart of the S&P 500 emini futures contract that after making yet another new recovery high this morning at 1103.25, the emini S&P has sold off to nearly unchanged and more importantly is approaching an important test of key near-term support at 1093-1090.

Testing Time for the USD and Aging Stock Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Garry_Abeshouse
No one alive has probably experienced a time when so much highly geared money has been controlled by so few large corporations, who with their accumulated power, have governments all over the world running scared. This power has been magnified with the continued availability of government handouts and cheap funding from the USD Carry Trade. This has created an "Open Sesame" to a monetary wish list that has no limits for those involved. It makes for a deceptive market, with a bought out and manipulative mainstream media, who constantly refuse to provide cogent introspection and analysis of the high risk and highly geared trading activities of the major banks. Don’t forget that Goldman Sachs has a debt to capital ratio of over 1000:1.Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Lateral Trading / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
When markets get overbought you usually expect a fast drop lower, and that may still, and actually, should take place. However, we are still in a clear up trend off the March lows and this market is trying to fight off those overbought 60-minute time frame charts with all its muscle. Today seemed like the perfect day for some unwinding and although we got a drop, it wasn't very much to get excited about thus we head in to tomorrow still overbought on the short-term time frame charts only.

Are We Headed for a 25% Stock Market Drop? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: The_Gold_Report
With anticipated GDP growth insufficient to sustain current market levels, Q1 Publishing's Founder and Chief Investment Strategist Andrew Mickey asserts that great expectations tend to lead to great disappointments. Although he's not foretelling a big crash, he tells Gold Report readers why it makes sense to expect the market to fall back to a fair-value level over the next six months to a year and there will still be plenty of opportunities for those in the right spot.

Societe Generale's Albert Edwards Calls New Stocks Bear Market Low in 2010 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Trader_Mark
Societe Generale's Albert Edwards is generally considered an uber bear, although there were times in the past year he has tactically increased exposure to equities to take advantage of oversold conditions. Now is not one of those times. In fact, Edwards chimes in with many similar thoughts we've posted on the fundamentals... but sticks his neck out calling for new lows in 2010.

Why is the Stock Market Rising When The Economic Recovery is Weak? / Stock-Markets / US Interest Rates
By: John_Mauldin
"Why" many ask, "is the stock market going up when the bond market is telling us the recovery will be tepid? Isn't there a disconnect?" And the answer is that there is, and this week good friend and fishing buddy Paul McCulley of PIMCO fame discusses that very topic with his usual insight and wit. He poses the conundrum that those expecting a "V" shaped recovery have pushed risk assets up quite high, and that the real risk to their position is that they in fact get a "V" shaped recovery. And yet, they could go higher and into bubble territory.

By: Washingtons_Blog
Daniel Gross points out that part of the reason that the American stock markets are going up even though unemployment is rising and the real economy suffering is because multinational corporations headquartered in the U.S. are experiencing strong sales abroad:

Stocks Bull Market Destroys the Crash Bears Again / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Seems like Déjà vu where virtually on every correction the mega perma-bears re-emerge to pronounce the demise of the bear market rally only to be beaten back down by the subsequent rally to a new high for the move as we witnessed today with the Dow closing above the previous mid October peak of 10,120, by closing at 10,226.
