Banking Cartels Angst Equals Investor Advantage / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
“Consider the dramatic decline in the value of the dollar since The Fed was established (Ed. 1913). The goods and services you could buy for $1 in 1913 now cost nearly $21. We might say that the government and its banking cartel have together stolen 95 cents of every dollar as they have pursued a relentlessly inflating policy.”- Rep. Ron Paul, American Conservative, October, 2009

Stock Markets Could Soar by Another 50% / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
Many smart people say the markets are headed for another big leg down soon. And maybe they’re right. But traders and investors should always examine opposing views. Today, I want to make the case for stocks going MUCH higher from here. That doesn’t mean I’m bullish on the broad economy — far from it. But stocks could rally — perhaps as much as another 50 PERCENT — riding on a rising flood of government money.

The S&P Stock Market Rally, How Much Higher? / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
The recent rally in the S&P 500 really is looking like the birth of a new bull market.

Now data has begun began to point more firmly towards economic recovery.

Stock Market Doji Reversal Pattern / Stock-Markets / Technical Analysis
Normally when you get a doji after a trend has been in place, you see a reversal of that trend for a few days. A doji meaning you open and close at basically the same level which indicates that the bears in this case have caught up to the bulls short term. The question now becomes, will it matter? It has worked at times in this bull run and hasn't worked at times, although doji's off a strong trend in place usually do work. Add in how overbought we are on those daily charts and you have a decent chance of seeing at least some type of selling over the next couple of days.

Eye on Stock Market Short SPY (SH) / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
Time to take defensive precautions in case the major equity market ETFs initiate a potential potent countertrend move (profit-taking). If the ProShares Single Levered Short SPY (NYSE: SH) hurdles and sustains above key resistance at 55.90-56.00, we should see follow-through strength that takes out 56.25, which will trigger a substantial countertrend advance to 57.30/60 for starters. However, as long as the SH remains below 55.95, the SH bears are in control.

Germany's DAX: FREE Insight Into Europe's Leading Economy / Stock-Markets / European Stock Markets
It's one of the first rules in the book of mainstream economic wisdom: a country's economy is the thermometer which "reads" its stock market's temperature. If financial conditions are heating up, stocks rise; if they are cooling down, stocks fall. Were it so simple -- millionaires wouldn't make up a measly .15% of the global population.

Stock Market Rallies to Fill Bear Market Gap / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
Stunning. How in the world did the market just say "I don't care" to 1060 on the S&P 500? We closed at 1068 and that's barely through, but come on, even getting through it by 1 point is impressive enough. When we had the gap down from 1080 to 1060, it was a huge gap obviously and occurred on massive volume. There's no way we should have been able to just move into the gap again with the top at 1080. If we clear 1080, look out above. It shows you the intensity of just how strong this market is.

Quantitative Easing Fuelled Stock Market Recovery / Stock-Markets / Quantitative Easing
We keep hearing that "The worst is behind us", but the spin doesn't square with the facts. Sure the stock market has done well, but scratch the surface and you'll find that things are not as what they seem. Zero hedge--which is quickly becoming the "go-to" market-update spot on the Internet--recently posted an eye-popping chart which traces the Fed's monetization programs (Quantitative Easing) with the 6-month surge in the S&P 500.
