Stock Markets End Flat After Up Down Battle / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Markets played a game of ping pong yesterday before finishing broadly flat. News from bellwether stock FedEx cast an early pall. Analysts were expecting revenue of $8.32bn this quarter but they reported only $7.85bn. Freight was down 28%, as producers can’t ship if producers aren’t ordering. Another green shoot gets snipped. Note also the lower than expected inflation numbers and the fall in mortgage applications (down 15.8%).

Stocks Bull Markets Bullsh*T & Bubbles / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
When credit growth is positive, bull markets result. When credit growth is excessive, bubbles result. When credit growth slows, recessions result and when credit growth contracts, all hell breaks loose.
In free markets, supply and demand determine price and profits. Capitalism’s paper-based markets, however, are not free markets. In today’s capitalist markets, price and profits are determined by credit flows emanating from government central banks.

Stock Market Rally Following 1931 Bear Crash Pattern / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Global_Research
Bob Chapman writes: The next major move in the stock market will be down. We are seeing the last vestiges of a rally similar to what we saw in 1931. The rally we expected at 6600 up to 8500 will end as soon as all the financial institutions that need to sell what stock is necessary to bolster their balance sheets. Our guess is the rally has been aided in a big way by short covering and the participation of the US government. Those who believe the SEC has stopped naked short selling are sadly mistaken.

Stocks Bear Market Targets / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Adam_Brochert
There's time and there's price. If you believe, like I do, that a deflationary wipe-out must occur before further cancerous U.S. Dollar debasement (oops, I mean green shoots) can, then you should also believe that this cyclical bear market in general equities ain't gonna take much longer if history is a guide. Most such wipe-outs take 2.5-3.5 years. We're already 1 year and 8 months into this bear market and I personally count the last 7 months (since November panic lows) as one big expanded zig zag correction.

Stocks Suffer Again As Financials Take The Strain / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
On the day, the S&P lost 1.27% and now sits 4.6% below its recent high of 956. The rot set in with disappointing results from electronics retailer Best Buy but it was financials that bore the brunt of the selling pressure. All this on news that news that the Obama administration plans to create a quango called the Consumer Financial Protection Agency. This will in theory help protect consumers’ credit, savings and other banking transactions.

Have Stock Markets Run Away from Reality? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Prieur_du_Plessis
The predictions of the members of the Barron’s mid-year Roundtable discussion over the weekend were in agreement that the March lows of the stock markets would not be broken. This reminded me of one of the famous “Investment Rules” of Bob Farrell, legendary former chief stock market analyst at Merrill Lynch. Rule # 9 stated: “When all the experts and forecasts agree, something else is going to happen.”

Fear Returns To Stalk Stock Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
In their biggest fall since April 20th, equity markets retreated yesterday. Investors feared that the state-sponsored green shoots would shrivel, faced with the implicit threat from the G8 that central banks and governments were thinking of taking away the punch bowl of ZIRP and massive fiscal stimuli hammering the reflation trade. Policy makers now look set to repeat the errors of the late 1930’s. The Greenback also went on the rampage on the back of soothing comments from Russia taking the shine of the commodities / metals / oil trade while VIX popped up 10% on the day.

Stocks Bear Market Rally is Over / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Adam_Brochert
Done. Finito. Put a fork in it. Be short or be out of the way if you're an intermediate-term trader. Forget commodities and forget inflation. The next bear leg down in the stock and commodities market is here. Yes, it is possible that there could be an up day in stocks and commodities tomorrow, but I believe the intermediate-term top for the stock market is in and that a full on resumption of the bear market has begun.

Manipulated Bond & Stocks Markets / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Captain_Hook
As suspected last week, mutual and hedge fund managers could not resist the temptation to push stocks higher in month end window dressing given the opportunity, so they did. And I wouldn’t doubt for a minute the bureaucracy’s price managers were told to make stocks look good at week’s end because of Geithnier’s trip to China, where he is on his first official US paper selling junket. There’s really no other explanation for why stocks mysteriously surged at the close on Friday due to futures buying. (Later Monday we found out it was broker related buying to aid their secondary issues the following week.)

Stock Market S&P 500 Valuation With Normalized Earnings / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Valuations
By: Richard_Shaw
There are many institutional S&P 500 forecasts in the media for 2009, generally ranging from 850 to 1100 with some outliers on each side, but seldom is the underlying detail provided. One of the more common methods of estimation involves normalization of earnings times a reasonable multiple based on history.
