Credit Crisis Explained- Credit and Credibility / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008
By: Richard_Karn
Chapter 2: “Nobody’s right, when everybody’s wrong”
Chapter 1 Here : “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!”
Arguably more effective than the military adventurism that dominates the headlines, what amounts to American cultural imperialism has subtly seduced large swathes of the world, and it has not been limited simply to a taste for fast food, film, and fashion. The far more addictive aspect has been the successful overseas marketing of the “debt culture” via the financial innovation associated with the securitization (derivative) markets, which at $27 trillion has constituted the US’ largest export of the 21st century. This is the realm of the money center banks. 1

Stocks and Commodities 4th Quarter Investment Thoughts / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: David_Urban
I would like to start by making a comment on my last article. Globally, there are values in financial stocks in countries not hit as hard as the US and Europe. My bearish stance is US based, not global.

Stock Market Collapsing Into the Close / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Harry_Boxer
It was an extremely negative session for the indices as they dropped from the get-go, fell sharply all morning, stabilized around mid-day, tried to rally back mid-afternoon but failed at resistance, and then rolled over, especially in the last 10 minutes when they collapsed into the close.

U.S. Financial System Systemic Failure Approaches / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Jim_Willie_CB
Debate stirs on whether the financial structure of the USEconomy is broken irreparably. Debate stirs on whether actions taken in the last year or two have put the nation on a path that can even achieve stability, let alone recovery. Debate stirs on whether a pernicious and not so secret syndicate has taken control of the USGovt financial ministries, let alone be removed. Debate stirs on whether lack of US Federal Reserve audits and disclosure of their accounting is integral to sustaining the syndicate control as well as its probable egregious fraud. Debate stirs whether the nationalizations have actually enabled adoption of wrecked assets, have concealed executive ransacking, and have buried massive counterfeit of bonds.

Deferring Financial Disaster / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Midas_Letter
Those who read the contrarian and alternative financial commentators may well be forgiven for wondering why the financial doomsday oft predicted hasn’t quite materialized. The financial crisis heralded by the crash in October 2008, preceded by the demise of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, among others, by all accounts was the tip of the iceberg and the advent of the Great Depression of our age.

Stock Market May Not Correct Until 2010 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bull Market
By: Chris_Ciovacco
Common sense and prudence say stocks must experience a significant correction soon. Unfortunately, waiting for a correction to participate in the current stock rally has proved highly frustrating for many market participants. While it may not be what investors sitting on large cash positions want to hear, market history says a significant correction in stocks may not occur until 2010.

Stock Market Trading Back and Forth, Unwinding Nasty Divergences / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
That's all we're doing while trying to unwind those daily charts along with those nasty negative divergences. We go up. We go down. We go back up and then back down all in the same day. Tremendous whipsaw in wide and loose triangles as the bulls and bears fight it out between 1045/1080.

Stock Market Investors Don’t Fight the Fed / Stock-Markets / US Interest Rates
By: Hans_Wagner
Martin Zweig, in his investment book “Winning on Wall Street” points out investors should not “fight the Fed”. In his book, he discusses the relationship between the discount rate and the performance of the US stock market. As he showed, most of the time, a rise in the discount rate leads to a lower average share prices. A drop in the discount rate leads to higher average share prices. Another concept called “two tumbles and a jump” indicates that two decreases in the discount rate within a six-month period lead to a jump up in the stock market. On the other hand, one or two rate increases within a 6-month period are moderately bearish for stocks. Three or more rate increases are extremely bearish.

Financial Markets Driven by Uncertainty / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Christopher_Laird
I can’t think of a better way to describe the last 2 years than as times of great uncertainty. Not only did we have two near catastrophic banking failures worldwide, but we also have the ever present Iran Israel nuclear contention. The USD held reasonably well during this period, although it’s weaker. In any case, gold has held up amazingly well over the period of the last two years too, in fact is at highs. What else is except US T bonds?

Predicting the Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Paul_Lamont
Two years ago in The Return of Capital, Not The Return on Capital, we stated: "...as an indicator of a major trend reversal, 'Tens of thousands' of Japanese homemaker-traders are leveraging their bets on a fall in the yen. As global margin calls come in, investors will unwind their positions, and the homemaker-traders will find that they were the last ones to the party. We expect the Yen to appreciate for the long term, causing major pain for these novice investors." The weekly chart below of the Japanese Yen shows just how wrong those homemaker-traders have been.

Financial Sector Crime, Regulation and Reform / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Mark_B_Rasmussen
We have had the most expensive and damaging crime wave in American history over the past few years, costing the American public $10-$11 trillion loss of net worth. You are probably as surprised as I am about the lack of investigations, indictments and prosecutions for crimes of this size. At last week’s G-20 meeting we heard a wonderful speech from our “Orator-In-Chief”.

This Stock Market Correction Is Dead / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Valuations
By: Steve_Selengut
Actually, hindsight and the Investment Grade Value Stock Index (IGVSI) Bargain Level Monitor tell us that it died early in March 2009. More realistically, however, corrections don't die quite so abruptly. They are supplanted by rallies--- and vice versa.

Stock Market Rydex Bullish and Bearish Leveraged Funds Indicator / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment
By: Guy_Lerner
As of Tuesday's close, the amount of assets in the Rydex bullish and leveraged funds exceeded the amount of assets in the bearish and leveraged funds by a ratio of more than 2 to 1. Over the past 3 months, this measure of excessive investor enthusiasm for equities has coincided with more selling than buying.

This Stock Market Sentiment Indicator Always Works / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Sentiment
By: Q1_Publishing
Last Friday the folks at Fox Business News invited your editor on to talk about gold (view clip here – I come on at about the 21 minute mark).
If you watch the video, it won’t take long to see Fox Business probably won’t be having me back on anytime soon.

Fed Fuelling the Next Stock Market Bubble / Stock-Markets / Liquidity Bubble
By: Claus_Vogt
Every few weeks the world’s most powerful and influential central bankers — those in charge of the world’s number one reserve currency, the U.S. dollar — come together in what’s called the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).
They discuss the economy, interest rates, financial markets and whatever else they deem important. Then they decide to set the Federal Funds Rate at a level they think is appropriate.

Stock Market Drifting in No Mans Land / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
And that's just the way it is folks. Boring for sure. No fun. I get it. However, it is what it is. With 1045 being support and 1075/1080 being resistance, neither side was able to get anything done today. We're simply stuck, basically in the middle of the range, thus there's nothing more to do for the moment.

Stock Market Down Session Keeps Potential Top in Place / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Harry_Boxer
The indices had a downday on Tuesday, giving back some of yesterday's big gains. The day started out with a move to new snapback highs on the S&P 500. At that point, the Nasdaq 100 failed to take out the highs, creating a negative divergence. They sold off quite sharply after consumer sentiment information came out. Then the market bounced, rolled over, and made their session lows in late morning until lunch.
