Stock Market Support Holds..Nothing Good Either Way.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
The bears are trying. I'll give them that. After all, they've taken out the 50-day exponential moving average on the Nasdaq and have kept it below for a few days now. The S&P 500 is playing leap from the 50-day exponential moving average.

By: Francois_Soto
Is the S&P 500 undervalued from the current level? To answer this question, one might be tempted to look at the actual P/E (Price / Earnings) and establish a comparison with its historical data. You most likely have seen this chart before:

Gold, Silver and Stocks Analysis, Forecast / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Douglas_V._Gnazzo
The S&P 500 was down over 4% for the week. This was the second week in a row that the market closed down. A short term correction is underway. It remains to be seen if the short term correction turns into a medium term move down.
Up first is the daily chart of the SPX. It shows lower diagonal support broken below. If the October low marked by the blue horizontal line is broken below it would raise the possibility that an intermediate term move is unfolding.

Nailed the Stock Market Top? Probably / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Peter_Navarro
For the past month, as both market technical indicators and macroeconomic fundamentals have deteriorated, I’ve been warning of a possible market top in my Always a Winner newsletter. In preparation for that market top, I took my profits from the March run-up by closing almost all my long position.

Stock Market Down Draft Warning / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Guy_Lerner
Since October 10, I have been singing a new tune and warning that "there is probably greater risk of a market down draft now than in past weeks," and on October 17, I even underlined these words for emphasis. I think this past week's high volume selling would qualify as a market down draft.

Stock Markets Sharply Lower on Sustainability Worries of Global Economic Recovery / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Prieur_du_Plessis
Rewind the movie to before the stock market lows of March 9: stocks down, corporate bonds down, commodities and gold down, emerging-market currencies down, safe havens in fashion, including the US dollar and government bonds. In short, risky assets closed sharply lower over the past few days as concerns mounted over the outlook for central bank policy and the sustainability of the global economic recovery, with investors only warming momentarily to the US emerging from recession as shown by the Q3 GDP report (announced on the 80th anniversary of Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929).

Chapter 4: “James Ross Clemens, a cousin of mine, was seriously ill two or three weeks ago in London, but is well now. The report of my illness grew out of his illness, the report of my death was an exaggeration.”1
The matters discussed thus far in the first three chapters of our report, Credit and Credibility, may be summarized as follows:

Is the Debt Fuelled Economic Recovery Sustainable? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The U.S. Economy bounced backed strongly in the third quarter, following Euro-zone second quarter recovery which is not so surprising given the amount of debt fuelled economic stimulus spending. Britain lags behind awaiting its bounce back in the fourth quarter due to the relative size of its financial sector.

Ominous Technicals for S&P 500 Index / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Friday's action could have been one of the more destructive technical
sessions in recent memory. Not only did the day's weakness totally reverse
Thursday's upside reversal gains, it closed on the low for the day and for
the week. Furthermore, let's notice that on the enclosed weekly chart that
this week's close broke and sustained beneath 1) the Aug-Oct support line;
2) the 10-week (or 50-day) MA; and 3) the major up trendline that originated
off of the March 2009 low at 666.79. Finally, let's notice the very
negative juxtaposition of the weekly slow stochastics and the weekly RSI.

Stock Market Negative Divergences Kick In Hard... / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
I've been talking quite a bit lately about the very nasty negative divergences across the major indexes on the daily charts. In many cases, quadruple negative divergences. That's not something you see very often. When it takes place, at some point in time there will be a price to pay for that type of set up. We are seeing that take place now. The sad thing is, if you're a bull, these set ups often end a bull market. Once the wedges go, there's no looking back.

The Recession Has Ended! Has the Stocks Bull Market Also? / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Sy_Harding
The Great Recession has ended. Halleluiah! It was the worst recession in many ways since the Great D. Just imagine. After four straight negative quarters the economy recovered in the third quarter. Not only did it recover, but GDP rose 3.5% in the third quarter, even more than the consensus forecast of a gain of 3.2%.

Financial Fairy Tale Antidotes Springboard For Garnering Gains / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“…the Federal Reserve established and refined a program that permitted banks to pledge virtually any security as collateral…a guaranteed way for taxpayer capital to evaporate in the context of a disintegrating financial system, all with the purpose of bailing out Wall Street's major institutions…
…We uncovered numerous bankrupt companies' equities that were being pledged as collateral for what ultimately was taxpayer exposure. To our surprise, this discovery is not an exception, and in fact in the days immediately preceding the collapse of Bear Stearns…
