Stock Market Aggressive Sell Signals / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX opened beneath its Cycle Top support at 2748.11 and stayed beneath it. Thus far the bounces have been weak and new lows are being made. This may be a good place for an aggressive short position. A partial position is recommended until the decline develops further. Usually you want to take a short position on a bounce, but since the decline isn’t yet fully developed, be prepared for a pullback.

The 2018 Decline in Precious Metals / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: P_Radomski_CFA
The precious metals sector moved higher in the first days of this year, but based on yesterday’s decline and the current price levels, 2018 is already a down year for silver and mining stocks. Gold is almost flat. This is a subtle clue that the rally may have already ran its course. The confirmation comes from what happened yesterday. Miners continued their decline, invalidating the previous breakout, while gold finally joined the rest of the sector and started its own decline as well. Is the rally indeed over?
Most likely – yes. Let’s start today’s analysis with a look at gold’s performance (charts courtesy of http://stockcharts.com).

S&P 500 Sets Another Record, But This May Be Short-Term Top / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Paul_Rejczak
Briefly:
Intraday trade: Our Monday's intraday trading outlook was bearish. It proved partly wrong, because the S&P 500 gained just 0.2% following slightly lower opening of the trading session. The broad stock market continued its short-term uptrend, but it remained within a relatively narrow trading range. There have been no confirmed negative signals so far. However, we can see some clear short-term overbought conditions along with an overly bullish investors' sentiment. Therefore, intraday short position is favored today. Stop-loss is at the level of 2,765 and potential profit target is at 2,710 (S&P 500 index).
Our intraday outlook is bearish today. Our short-term outlook is neutral, and our medium-term outlook is neutral:
Intraday outlook (next 24 hours): bearish
Short-term outlook (next 1-2 weeks): neutral
Medium-term outlook (next 1-3 months): neutral

Share Market Is One Of The Most Encouraging Opportunity For Young And Old Alike To Make Profitable Investments / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Kavinesh_A
Taking a count on the number of people who have benefited from the amount of shares that have been purchased, there are many certain levels of ideal benefits in investing for shares. The profit is one thing but the thrill of waiting is another level altogether. The ups and downs are always there but when it comes to the very foundation of having a stern yet disciplined outlook on investment, things can get quite real and always will suffice the very ideology of fulfilling desires of monetary value. In realizing the importance of shares, one needs to be really on top of the game that will garner them enough support in making it easily possible for anyone to breathe easy on terms of realizing the very possibilities of profitable investments.Read full article...

Stock Market Close Call... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
SPX opened down…and in the nick of time, since the current Wave structure is invalidated above 2743.80. The alternate Wave structure goes much higher, thus my hesitation in writing until the open.
One measure that I missed is that Super Cycle Wave (b) is 2.618 time the size of Super Cycle Wave (a) at 2720.56. Again, using Elliott Wave, one must compare the Waves at the same degree. This is a flaw of Northman Trader that many will not pick up on.

Stock Market Melt-up, Up, and Away / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: The_Gold_Report
Precious metals expert Michael Ballanger likes what he sees for gold in 2018's first week of trading.
While the moniker for this missive is "Gold and Gold Miners," I just sit back in absolute AWE as the global equity investors (otherwise known as "Stock jockeys") have decided that "cash is TRASH!" and despite a massive "miss" in the employment numbers this morning, within seconds of the release, the spin doctors manning the equity trading desks deemed that number "bullish" because it is less inflationary and may cause the Fed to "pause." So dollar-yen rallies, the USD index has a minor pop, gold sells off, and stocks come out of the gate up another 0.25% with all of the bubblicious bravado of a high school quarterback getting his first win.

A Timely Lesson for Today’s Stock Market Investors / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: EWI
"The names may change, but the psychology remains the same."
Have you ever compared chart patterns from history with financial markets today? Elliott Wave International can show you the unique value of doing exactly that.
Why?
Because patterns on market charts repeat themselves. It happens across the globe, regardless of time period. When a still-unfolding pattern in the present looks a lot like a chart from the past, the price action to come may well remain on that earlier path.

2018 US Stock Market Rally Is Just Starting / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Last week, we posted our research showing that the US markets were setting up for a 2018 Q1 rally based on our research using our advanced predictive analysis modeling tools – the Adaptive Dynamic Learning model. This model attempts to find unique price, technical and indicator patterns in past price bars and then attempts to find similar patterns in newer price bars. When multiple price bars with similar pattern structures are found, it maps these as “unique genomic structures” and attempt to learn from the future price activities. This unique modeling system was created by our team of skilled market researchers in an attempt to provide accurate insight into the markets future price swings.

Stock Market 2018 If You Don’t Cash In, You’ll Lose Lots of High-Yield Opportunities / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: John_Mauldin
My long-time Thoughts from the Frontline readers know that I’ve long criticized economists for treating their profession as a “hard science” like physics or chemistry.
The global economy is far too complex and far too dependent on irrational human behavior for that ambition to be realized. However, there are some occasional similarities.

Stock Market S&P 500, IWM and XLF 2018 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Avi_Gilburt
As Ecclesiastes notes, “There is nothing new under the sun.” This, too, applies to the stock market.
The average investor trap is the same throughout whatever period you wish to review. Markets become overexuberant, see a correction, sentiment resets, and markets rally on to their next phase of overexuberance. It is really that simple. Yet, we overcomplicate matters by relying on economics and fundamentals, which have proven to be relatively useless at major market turning points.

Changes Coming to the Financial Markets in 2018 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2018
By: Rodney_Johnson
It’s the first week of January, which makes it time for football playoffs and New Year predictions.Since I’m not likely to grace the gridiron anytime soon, I land in the forecast camp. But playing Nostradamus is fraught with its own danger, and reminds me of an old quote by Darrell Royal, the longtime University of Texas football coach, that explained why he favored running the ball. He believed that when you threw the football, three things could happen, and two of them were bad.

Stocks, Oil and Gold Market Price Forecasts 2018 (Video) / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2018
By: Nadeem_Walayat
2017 surprised most by proving to be one of the greatest years of the past decade for stock investors, traders and gamblers as bull markets appeared everywhere. Commodity traders too enjoyed strong bull market gains in the likes of oil and gold, for instance the oil price ended at its highs for the year at $60 whilst Gold had a bumpier ride to end the year at $1310, up a healthy $160 or 14%.

Why You Should Run Away from SPY, IVV, VOO, and Other S&P 500 ETFs / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: John_Mauldin
BY OLIVIER GARRET : A decade after the Global Financial Crisis, investors seem to have forgotten about risk.
The amount of money that has flowed into S&P 500 ETFs in recent years concerns me. With little regard for valuation, investors just continue to pump capital into ETFs that track the main index.
Over the last three years, $100 billion has flowed into the three largest S&P 500 ETFs—SPY, IVV, and VOO. This year alone, investors have pumped in around $50 billion.

FAANG Executives Selling Their Stock Is a Warning Signal / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: John_Mauldin
BY JARED DILLIAN : Nobody has a better insight into the future prospects of a company than its top-tier employees.
Executives will always boast about their businesses, but it’s what they do with their own money that really matters.
I’m talking about insider trading.
Not the illegal kind, but rather planned buys and sells of stock by the company’s insiders—the directors, executives, and founders.
