Stocks Soar As Rally Enters Its Fourth Day / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
News of significant new stimulus measures by both China and Japan, jawboning from Bank of America's Ken Lewis and the Swiss National Banks decision to start quantitative easing led equity indices to a 3% gain yesterday. All this despite GE losing its much coveted tripe A (AAA) credit rating and Moody's putting 23 US regional banks on review for a possible downgrade. With Madoff in jail and consumption seemingly fighting back (note the surprisingly robust US retail sales number) maybe Bernanke and Geithner should take a leaf out of the Dimon / Pandit book and leak a memo saying the US economy has grown in the first two months of Q1 2009? It's Friday the 13th for the second month in a row so be careful out there. Read full article... Read full article...

Stocks Bear Market Takes a Break as Dow Targets 8,000 / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Oxbury_Research
Wall Street breathes a temporary sigh of relief, rallying for three rare days in a row now. Capital infusion for banks, upbeat news from Citigroup of a profitable year-to-date and a General Electric credit rating cut that was less dramatic than previously anticipated have all contributed to a Dow poised to take advantage of all the money market funds sitting on the sidelines. Valuations are becoming more and more appealing to the average investor out there. The chops are indeed being licked… Read full article... Read full article...

“Watch TV Make Money” Who is Really Making Money? Part II / Stock-Markets / Market Manipulation
By: Mike_Stathis
Let me continue where I left off from Part I of this series. Kudlow has my book, as does Cramer and hundreds of other useless media clowns and shills. And they've had it for nearly two years, giving them more than ample time to realize what to expect. Yet, they continue to air clowns with terrible track records, whose sole purpose is to fool investors. And when they feel the need to admit problems, they air snake-oil salesmen who have been predicting doom for over a decade. In either case, they don't air credible experts with proven track records. Instead, they interview guys with agendas. Guys who will be preaching doom twenty years from now because that's their marketing pitch. The media also interviews guys in the “club” – guys like Peter Schiff who they know won't say something to draw attention to financial industry executives as the blame for this mess. These are the guys who agree to play by the media's rules in order to protect their agendas. Read full article... Read full article...

Stocks Bull Market of Bear Market Rally? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: For many investors, the last 12 months have felt like a cross between Dante's “ Ninth Circle of Hell ” and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Even so, after Tuesday's market action - which saw the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rebound from a 12-year low to gain 6.4%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average jump 5.8% - many investors are no doubt wondering if it's time to pile in.

Stocks Hang Onto Gains / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: PaddyPowerTrader
A little banker patter seems to go a long way these days. Yesterday, equities hung in the black thanks mainly to a bravado performance by Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan who talked up his book in a manner we usually associate with bouffant Bill Gross from Pim(p)co. But the vista of a dire retail sales number today is looming large as the US consumer retrenches further. This points to another downbeat quarter for earnings. Read full article...

Stock Markets Relief Rally or New Bull? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Prieur_du_Plessis
I said the following in my “ Words from the Wise ” post on Sunday: “At this juncture, short-term movements are almost impossible to predict, although the sell-off over the past few days - a capitulation in some respects - could nourish the long-awaited tradeable rally. Also, Lowry 's 90% down-days , like we experienced on Monday and Thursday, are often followed by two- to seven-day bounces.” Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Bulls Stick It To Over Extended Bears / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Kingsley_Anderson
The big rally finally happened. Considering the extreme oversold readings on the indicators, a snapback rally was expected. All that was needed was a little bit of good news, which came by way of Citigroup 's announcement it has been profitable for the past two months. An announcement by Representative Barney Frank that the SEC would likely reinstate the uptick rule also helped move prices upward. Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Anticipated Bounce Has Begun / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Donald_W_Dony
Models have indicated, for several weeks, that an advance in the equity markets during March could be expected. The positive news from Fed chairman Mr. Bernanke and Citigroup today has provided the trigger for that bounce. Technically, this upward movement is considered to be a bear market rally and is part of the on going milder downward trend in 2009. As the next major low is expected in June, this bounce should fade by mid-to-late April or before. Read full article... Read full article...

Stocks Bear Market Rally or Something More? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Mike_Shedlock
The stock market is on a tear this morning on the heels of a statement by CEO Pandit that Citigroup Has A Profit for the first two months of 2009. In a letter sent to employees Monday, Citi Chief Executive Vikram Pandit said the first-quarter performance so far has been the bank's best since the third quarter of 2007 -- the last time it recorded net income for a full period. Based on historical revenue and expense rates, Citi's projected earnings before taxes and one-time charges would be about $8.3 billion for the full quarter. Read full article... Read full article...

Tech Stocks SMH ETF Expected to Soar / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The enclosed chart shows the ratio of the Semiconductor HLDRs (AMEX: SMH) and the S&P 500 Depository Receipts (AMEX: SPY) for the past nine years. We noted this chart for our subscribers 10 days ago to illustrate how the SMH has begun to strengthen vis-a-vis the SPY in the last 3 months after falling substantially in relation to the SPY's price (from 68% to 18.4%) between 2000 and 2008. This indicates the beginning of a big resurgence of technology relative to the overall market, and that when the stock market actually reverses direction, technology should take a leadership role.
