Why Is The Stock Market Not Trading On Fundamentals Lately? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Avi_Gilburt
Last week, I noted that as long as the market maintains support over 2450SPX, we still have potential to strike the 2500SPX region before we see a top to wave (3). Currently, the market has maintained such support, so I must maintain my expectations.
“The market is just not trading on fundamentals.”
“The stock market is detached from the reality of the economy.”
“Eventually, fundamentals will matter again.”

Dow 22,000 Struck - How Much Higher Can It Go? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Submissions
Mike Golembesky writes: I have now been writing for several weeks now that I was looking for an ideal shorter-term target zone of the 21,971 -22,429 zone on the Dow Jones Industrial Average prior to seeing a top in the index. Last week the Dow moved over 22,000 for the first time and is now trading right in the middle of that target zone. Additionally, the path up to this zone since the May 17th low has been exceptionally smooth having seen a tight grind to these higher levels.

Stock Market Volatility: A Dangerous Game Made Safe / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Harry_Dent
In the coming years, we’ll see much more volatility in the market.The fact that the VIX (or volatility index) has hit its lowest levels ever this year is of course prompting concern that a bear market is lurking in the shadows.
The market boom from late 1982 through late 2007 was based on real fundamentals: the spending wave of the largest generation in history; falling interest rates from rising productivity after the greatest peak in history in 1980 to 1981; the movement of internet and portable computing into mainstream markets.

CRASH - If Some People Do It, Nothing Bad Happens, But If Everyone Does It, All Hell Breaks Loose / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Crash
By: John_Mauldin
BY JARED DILLIAN
: In preparation for writing this article, I wanted to brush up on the Crash of 1987, so I let my fingers do the walking:
The Crash of ’87 doesn’t even make the list! Wow, short memories.
When I started trading index arbitrage in 2001, people were asking me if index arb caused the Crash of ’87.*
No, index arbitrage didn’t cause the Crash of ’87, nor was it a contributing factor.

TASI Targets Higher Prices Following Breakout Of Bull Pennant / Stock-Markets / Saudi Arabia
By: MarketsToday
The Tadawul All Share Index (TASI) bull trend is preparing for its next move higher following a pull back towards support. Support can be anticipated anywhere from last week’s low of 7,059 and down to approximately 6,870. The lower part of the range is from previous resistance (now potential support) at the swing high from April 2016. That high marked the top of a large double bottom trend reversal pattern.

The Crisis of World Automation / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Christopher_Quigley
“Money is an amazing, device without which modern civilization could not function but its introduction and development as a debt-credit accountancy system in the context of an increasingly labor-displacing, intensive capital producing system, involves a number of fundamental issues of which we must become aware of and for which we must compensate through a new economic orthodoxy. Keynesianism is dead. Let us actively bury it and move on, rather than let the corpse rot and its disease destroy the natural creative resourcefulness of nations”.

How to Win Against the Dangerous Stock Market Investor "Herding Impulse" / Stock-Markets / Learning to Invest
By: EWI
We all love a bargain...
...Except when it comes to stocks.
The reason boils down to uncertainty. We know what our fruits and vegetables should cost at the grocer's -- but we're far less certain about how much to pay for a blue-chip stock or shares in an S&P 500 Index fund.
So how does our mind work in decisions that involve certainty vs. uncertainty?

What Is Widespread Excessive Stock Market Optimism Indicating? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Chris_Vermeulen
I implement these “seasonality” charts as they have been a great framework into all of my trading/investing technical analysis. Seasonality charts are constructed from the past thirty years of historical data.
I implement them as “contrarian indicators”. The “extreme bullishness” is perceived as bearish and the “extreme bearishness” is perceived as bullish!

A Reversal Coming To U.S. Major Stock Indexes? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Technically speaking, this week could be very important for the major U.S. equity markets. There is an appearance of a “TOPPING PATTERN” forming. I am now awaiting confirmation by the actions of the equity markets, this week. Expect downward pressure beginning this month of August of 2017.

Markets Are Virtually Risk-Free / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Avi_Gilburt
For the last year, I have been looking for what we classify as a wave (3) to strike the 2500SPX region. And, now, we are getting quite close.
Meanwhile, this rally has brought out two camps of market expectations at this juncture, both of which I believe are wearing blinders. We read about those who believe the markets basically have no limit to their upside, and are "virtually risk-free," and we read those who have "known" that the market will imminently crash during this entire 40% rally since February 2016.

NASDAQ Composite Stocks Index Should Pullback Soon / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: ElliottWave-Forecast
The following video/chart shows NASDAQ composite index. The index has a tremendous rally since the lows around 1975 which is pretty close to the zero level. The index has reached the bottom of the blue box at 6219 area. The question then is whether the index will extend higher or start correcting lower as the minimal target has been reached. As we often say, Elliott wave theory by itself is not enough. In this case, we can see that from the zero line, we can count the index as a completed ABC. However, we can also count it as an incomplete ABC with a black((4)) still to happen. In the Elliott wave theory, any five waves structure always at one moment is a three wave move. It is therefore too early at this stage to determine if the rally will develop into a five waves move.
