Stocks Bear Market Rally, Examining the Facts / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Sy_Harding
In the section of his annual letter to his stock-holders explaining why their stock plunged 32% last year, Warren Buffett said, “I did some dumb things in 2008. . . . . sucking my thumb when new facts came in that should have caused me to re-examine my thinking and promptly take action.”
Buffett doesn’t often get caught up in the problems that foil ordinary investors.

Cautions for Investors and Traders Regarding Interventions / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: DeepCaster_LLC
Continues from Part1 - Banking Cartels Engineered Financial Crisis Endgame
We issue a word of caution to our readers. So long as The Cartel is in a very active interventional mode (e.g. as in taking down the price of Gold and Silver) do not be lured into thinking that the periodic up spikes in the prices of Gold and Silver necessarily present a "breakout" or a buying opportunity. As a practical matter, technical breakouts are sometimes a lure designed to suck in more "longs" prior to a subsequent deeper Takedown.

Banking Cartels Engineered Financial Crisis Endgame / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“…what is the reason for this “seemingly random monetary mess that multiplies its momentum every day? The answer, in one word, control. The elite/insiders already have control of the financial system, but they wanted more, much more…and it was not random, it was planned.” (emphasis added)
“How will all the above manifest itself in your life? The answer: “All you own will shrink...your income, assets, net worth, will shrink year after year in real terms inflation adjusted and possibly also nominally.” - HS Letter, April 27, 2008.

By: Harry_Boxer
The indices had a very nominal gaining session today at the end of the day, because of a late sell-off.

Pompous Financial Market Prognosticators Revisited / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Nick_Barisheff
The experts go into denial as the credit crisis unfolds- In 2001, Colin Seymour published an article entitled 1927-1933 Chart of Pompous Prognosticators. In it, he documented the many Depression-era assurances given by politicians, economists, financial experts and the media to the public, protesting that everything was fine and there was nothing to worry about. Meanwhile, the stock market would decline by 92%, the US dollar would be devalued by 40%, real estate would drop 30% and unemployment would soar to 25%.

Closed End Funds, A Safer Way to Buy Stocks / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Q1_Publishing

Stock Market Indices End Up After A Choppy Days Trading / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
It was one of those all sound and no picture days where stocks ended marginally positive for the day after a rally(ette) in the last half an hour. After the bell Alcoa marked the start of the pantomime that is the quarterly earnings season by reporting a smaller than expected loss i.e. the less bad is good club. Stepping away from the intra day noise and seeing the bigger picture the S&P 500 has lost over 5% over the past few sessions and is 75 points below its June 11th high.

Are Financial Markets being Manipulated by "Rogue Traders"? / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Global_Research
Danny Schechter writes: There’s New Evidence to Suggest that Crime In The Financial Markets is Rife.
New York, New York: Everyone has heard of the Wikipedia but not everyone knows about the Investopedia, a Forbes website, that monitors finance for market players. One of the issues it is concerned about is market manipulation, actions by rogue and not so rogue players who, working alone or together, unduly influence the way our supposed “free” markets function.

S&P 500 Stock Market Trends Analysis for July 2009 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Hans_Wagner
When analyzing monthly stock market trends, I use the S&P 500 charts to identify important trend lines. Trend following is a proven strategy to beat the market and grow your stock portfolio. Technical analysis provides the tools to analyze and identify trends in the stock market. Since the S&P 500 chart is the one used by professional traders for their analysis, it is important to understand how it is performing.

How's Your Investment Portfolio Doing? Seven Long-Term Indicators / Stock-Markets / Investing 2009
By: Steve_Selengut
Before Wall Street and the media combined to make investors think of calendar quarters as "short-term" and single years as "long-term", market cycles were used as true tests of investment strategies over the long haul. Bor-ing.

The Stock Market and Economic Dead Cat Bounce / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: John_Browne
In economics, as in many other “soft sciences,” facts are often overshadowed by theories. The dominant economic theory currently in vogue is that the massive government stimuli orchestrated by the Bush and Obama administrations would produce an economic recovery by the end of this year.

Upside Ahead for SRS UltraShort Real Estate ETF / Stock-Markets / Housing Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The ProShares UltraShort Real Estate ETF (NYSE: SRS) three-month pattern shows the price structure climbing into a key resistance plateau between 22.50 and 23.40, which if hurdled should trigger upside continuation towards 25.00 initially, and then to 29.00 possibly thereafter. My sense is that a powerful upmove in the SRS will reflect a renewed perception of deflation that is driven by the commercial real estate sector this time around. In any case, as long as 21.15 contains any significant pullback, I want to attempt to build a long position.

How Green Was My Stock Market Rally? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
The second big selloff in three days signals the reflation trade is dead and volatility is back with a bang (the VIX was up 6.5% yesterday) as reality intruded on the over-hyped green shoots guff. The Nasdaq was the big loser for the day, falling 2.3%, but it remains the only major US index still in the black for the year. Commodities and crude continue to be unloved and now the markets are fretting that the economy may need a fresh stimulus package. Such talk is killing confidence. With the S&P 500 now trading below its 200 day moving average, stocks may well trade heavy with selling on upticks.

Stealth Stocks Bull Market Summer Correction Update / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The analysis of April 26th concluded that the Dow is targeting a high of 8,750 by mid May 2009 which was expected to be followed by a significant correction of 14% towards a Dow target of 7,500. The Dow hit the target on 2nd of June which was confirmed in the quick update at the time, and therefore expectations were for the significant correction to materialise.
