Hey Professor Roubini! The Street Says The Dow Is Going to 15,000! Are They Nuts? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bull Market
By: Andrew_Butter
We didn't hear much talk about that "dead-cat-bounce-sucker-rally" recently, and all those guys with those pretty brightly-colored P/E ratio charts and pages and pages of verbiage predicting S&P 500 going to 450 seem to have disappeared along with the “Gold piercing $1,000 and on to the stratosphere” theorists. Perhaps they are on holiday?

Yet More Corporate Earnings Bull / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Having spent the better part of two months humbled by resistance near 950, the S&P finally took the bull by the horns and went on a tear. The pressure had been building and the excuse was that 48 out of 59 major US companies reported earnings before the close ahead of expectations with Ford and 3M the star turns. But if you scratch below the surface things are not so rosy. Top-line revenues are not nearly as strong, earnings are still down nearly 25% on a year ago and Microsoft provided a soggy start to after-hours trading. Nonetheless, the top of the old range has finally been breached. Note the Nasdaq 12 day winning streak is its best run since 1992.

Stocks Bear Market Low is Now Behind Us- Ignore the ‘Noise’ / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Puru_Saxena
The recent market action suggests that the bear-market low is now behind us.
Over the past few days, most of the stronger emerging markets broke out to new recovery highs. Furthermore, over the past couple of days, even the lagging stock markets in the West managed to climb to new recovery highs. It is noteworthy that yesterday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average break through its overhead resistance and closed above the psychologically important 9,000 level.

Dow Disappoints, Nasdaq Continues Winning Streak / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Underwhelming banking results from Morgan Stanley, Keycorp and Wells Fargo and a decline in energy prices dragged down a jaded looking Dow to a modest 0.39% decline on a listless days trading. But over at the Nasdaq they made it 11 up days in a row, as it continued to bask in the warm afterglow of Apple’s stellar results on strong IPhone and Mac sales. Starbucks surprised on the upside, sending the share price into orbit (up 18%, it’s biggest 1 day gain in 11 years). EBAY also impressed investors, while the less said about Qualcomm the better.

Vicious Stocks Stealth Bull Market Eats the Bears Alive!, What's Next? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bull Market
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The price action following the SELL signals earlier this month can only be described as a VICIOUS BEAR TRAP !, We got sell signals, good ones for Stock BULLs such as myself (as of Mid March 2009) it was a clear sign to get ready to accumulate more, for bears it was a sign to double up for the long awaited bear market RETEST and maybe to make back some of the money lost shorting the rally ?

Stock Market Investors Skating on Thin Ice / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: John_Browne
As 2009 moves past its midpoint, many market participants are briskly trying to forget the carnage of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. But, before we get lost in the euphoria of the 36% Dow rally in the Spring/Summer of this year, a little hindsight is in order. In March, the Dow had plunged to 6,547, or some 53 percent down from its nominal 14,164 high in 2007. Despite the recent gains, we are still nearly 40% below the 2007 peak. This is a brutal truth that everyone seems to be ignoring.

By: Hans_Wagner

Stock Market Bulls Try To Take It Up A Notch / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Chris_Ciovacco
The financial markets have done a good job of forecasting the slow improvements we have seen in the economic numbers in recent weeks. Even though the economy remains weak, we cannot ignore the steady stream of incremental improvements in the economic data. For example leading economic indicators (LEIs) have increased for three consecutive months. In the June report from the Conference Board , seven of the ten LEI components showed positive improvement.

China One Market Investors Can't Ignore / Stock-Markets / Chinese Stock Market
By: Money_Morning
Individual investors who still hold any doubts about Mainland China's future growth potential should take a long hard look at Airbus SAS, the Pan-European commercial airliner maker that is now building airplanes in that country.
When Airbus recently announced the delivery of its first China-built passenger jet, it was more than just the usual bit of corporate PR. It was an admission that any company that wants to remain a global leader in its industry will have to embrace China as a customer - and probably as a partner.

Stock Market Bulls Driving Prices Higher / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Frederic_Simons
The week is beginning as it ended in equities, with stock prices moving higher and bulls seemingly buying every dip during the day. The short term picture thus remains bullish even if the S&P 500 has been moving higher without looking back from about 865 on 7/13 to almost 950 on 7/21.

Onward And Upward For Stock Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Equities are still on a roll with the S&P hitting an 8 month high, rising 1.1% yesterday. Caterpillar, Disney and Alcoa led the Dow up while CIT Group soared 70% on its 11th hour (temporary) expensive reprieve from bankruptcy. Meanwhile way out West, California lawmakers and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said they’ve struck a deal to close a $26 billion budget deficit that’s left the most-populous U.S. state paying bills with IOUs and its credit rating near junk. In other “bullish” news the free market arm of the administration, Government, I mean Goldman, Sachs now expects the S&P 500 to rise 15% from current levels to 1,060 during 2009. The previous guess was 940.

Banks Still in Big Trouble; Protect Your Portfolio / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Money_and_Markets
Martin Weiss writes: Since the debt crisis began with the eruption of the subprime mess in 2007, Wall Street pundits have declared “an end to the crisis” at least three times: in mid-2007, in early 2008, and now.
Each time, the government intervened with massive amounts of money to tamp down fear. Each time, investors rushed back to take risks. And each time, stocks rallied sharply.
