Is the Great Stocks Bear Market Over? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: MoneyWeek
Is this the end of the great bear market rally?
Markets across the world took a tumble yesterday, with the FTSE 100 ending down 1.5% at 4,645, and the Dow Jones off by nearly 200 points. So why the big slide? As with most such market moves, there were plenty of stories you could pin the fall on after the fact.
Japan exited recession, but the second quarter GDP figures weren’t as good as hoped. Economic data in the States disappointed on Friday. The Chinese stock market is slipping back into bear market territory. Take your pick.

Madmen and Government Regulations / Stock-Markets / Market Regulation
By: MISES
Jeffrey Tucker writes: The AMC's Madmen, themed around New York advertising executives in the 1960s, captivates viewers for its plots, fashions, shocking levels of political incorrectness, and, most of all, because of the way its draws viewers so closely into a world of the early 1960s that they never knew.

Canadian Dollar Rattled by Shanghai Stock Meltdown / Stock-Markets / Canadian Stock Market
By: Gary_Dorsch
Bullish investors betting on a V-shaped recovery for the global stock markets are convinced the worst of the global economic crisis is over, and furthermore, expect the emerging economic giants, - Brazil, China, India, Russia, and Korea, (BRICK) to become the locomotives of global growth. With China and India leading the way, the notion of decoupling, - emerging markets advancing faster than developed markets, - and even pulling the G-7 economies out of recession, is making a comeback.

Stock Bull Market Delusions In Recovery / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Brady_Willett
The last major stock market ‘recovery’ in the U.S. started after the October 9, 2002 ‘bottom’ and lasted 5-years and 2-days. Total gain: 103%. Unfortunately, by November 21, 2008 all of these ‘gains’ had been lost, thus rendering the 2002 ‘bottom’ open to interpretation.

By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Charles Nenner, former Goldman Sachs market timing analyst, uses cycles, technical analysis, and a macro approach to time myriad markets. He called for a 2007 market top at around Dow 14,300.

Stock Market Counter Trend Rally Coming to an End / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Andre_Gratian
Current Position of the Market
SPX: Long-term trend - Down! The very-long-term cycles have taken over and if they make their lows when expected, the bear market which started in October 2007 should continue until 2012-2014. This would imply that much lower prices lie ahead. This will not be a straight-down decline, but a series of intermediate-term rallies and declines until we have reached the low point.
SPX: Intermediate trend - The counter-trend rally which started in March is now coming to an end. The objective for a high is being reached and deceleration is becoming apparent. If the top has not already been reached, it should be, shortly!

Stock Market Rally Celebrations Come to an Abrupt Halt / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Prieur_du_Plessis
During the week marking the second anniversary of the start of the credit crunch, stocks, copper, nickel, zinc and sugar recorded fresh 2009 highs. But the celebrations came to an abrupt end as caution crept back into investors’ vocabulary on Friday when it dawned upon pundits that markets were running away from economic reality. On top of that, Chinese equities - a leading stock market on the way up - saw a reversal of fortune and declined to a five-week low.

The index came in at 63.2, down 2.8 points from July and even more from the second half of last month.

Stock Market Dumb Money indicator Continues to Hit New Extremes / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Guy_Lerner
The "Dumb Money" indicator continues to hit new extremes despite last week's slight down market. The Rydex market timers continue to be bullish and leveraged to the extreme. And to round out our sentiment analysis, selling by company insiders has hit extremes as well. It is the perfect trifecta. Whether the perfect trifecta becomes the perfect storm (again) for investors is yet to be determined.

Stock Market Bumping Into Resistance / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Angelo_Campione
The market seems to be forming a tight sideways channel in which we are bumping up against resistance. If we are hitting up against resistance, where is support? In looking at the chart below, one could say that the support level is back around the 94 level (or even the 87 level). Where do I think the market is going?

Stock Market Lateral Consolidation Continues / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Jack_Steiman
No one and I mean no one can deny that this market has done a great job of frustrating both bulls and bears alike. Bad news gets absorbed by the market without any real down side action. How annoying was Thursday for bears! Horrific numbers on the retail sales front. The market falls some only to recover late and show gains. With gains in retail sales expected and with losses the actual outcome, it's hard to imagine being short this report and having to cover or even if you didn't, you had to deal with an up market in a down report. No fun.

Secular Stocks Bear Market Phasing / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Tim_Wood
It seems that everyone is pretty well convinced that we are now operating within the context of a “new bull market.” Rally, yes, and this was no surprise to me or my subscribers. But, “new bull market,” I think not. Let me clarify my position on this advance.

Financial Armageddon Part Two: Securitization Is Too Big To Fail So The Racketeering Must Stop! / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Andrew_Butter
Armageddon Part One is over. The question, like a hurricane, is whether the US is now in the eye of the storm or is it plain sailing from here on? The "navigators" are mumbling something about "all clear", but then that's what they mumbled last time.
Follow the money… how much money got "pumped" into the US economy after the start of the credit crunch compared to before? It's a little confusing:
