Yellen’s Setting Up the Markets For Their Third Fed-Fueled Financial Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Graham_Summers
Janet Yellen is playing with matches next to a $20 Trillion Debt Bomb.
During her speech at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy in Michigan, Yellen stated that the biggest risk to monetary policy is for the Fed to “get behind the curve” regarding inflation.
To that end, the Yellen Fed has already raised interest rates twice in the last six months. And it is pushing for yet another rate hike in June.

Will All Of This ‘Optimism’ Crash The Stock Markets? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Currently, the short-term trend for the SPX is NEUTRAL. The intermediate and long term trends are still very BULLISH! There is No trend, in the market, at this time. It is neither overbought or oversold.
The SPX is in a ‘Non-Trending’ market. I expect this next retracement will be completed by the end of April 2017. I plan on taking advantage of this summer’s rally.

Passive Investing Will End In Pain For Many Stock Market Investors / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: John_Mauldin
Every bear market correction since 1947 that didn’t come during a recession was relatively quickly reversed. Think about what happened in 1987 and 1998. There were pretty serious corrections and then a bull market.
The bull market that found its footing in 1987 lasted for another 13 years. In 1998, we were only a few years away from a major correction accompanied by a recession.

12 Charts That Show Why A 60% Stock Market Crash Is Very Real / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Crash
By: John_Mauldin
BY JOHN MAULDIN : A few weeks ago, I spent two days giving multiple speeches alongside my friend Steve Blumenthal of CMG in New Jersey. I listened to Steve do deep dives on stock market valuations.
Steve puts a great deal of research into the topic, so I asked if he could share some data from time to time, and he agreed. With his help, I compiled valuation measurements used by people who know what they’re talking about.
Not surprisingly, they all point to the fact that equities are pricey. But what is surprising is the degree of overvaluation—we are talking about the risk of a 60% decline.

Stock Market Weak Technicals, Pullback Continues, Negative Day Across the Board / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market was decidedly lower today. The indices started the day out, though, with a little pop to the upside, but resistance failed immediately. They then started to work their way lower by late morning, and reached the session lows on both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, bounced in the afternoon, took back about two-thirds of the losses, and then pulled back down and retested the lows before a late bounce pulled them off the lows for the day.

Stock Market Signs of Concern / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Donald_W_Dony
After a strong showing of strength from the markets over the last four months, a topping appears to be developing.
Some of the factors that seem to be soften the near-term bull market are geopolitical risks.
The building tensions around Syria and North Korea have placed many investors on edge and moved them toward safe-havens.

US Economy Contracting but Expect Higher Stock Prices / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The United States is the world’s largest and most diversified economy! It is currently suffering through a protracted period of slow growth which has held down job creation and labor market participation. The Pew Research Center reported, in late 2015, that a mere 19% of Americans trust the government either always or most of the time.
The FED must print more money in order to keep the party going forward.

Stock Market Indices Closes Moderately Lower on the Day / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices suffered steep losses early in the session. They came down very sharply to test an important support at the bottom of their current down channels and lateral price support, near 5360 Nasdaq 100 and 2337-8 S&P 500. By midday, they rallied very sharply and took back more than fifty percent of the losses, but pulled back at the end of the session. Only in the last ten or fifteen minutes did they spike up again to finish with nominal losses on the blue chips, but pretty solid losses on the Nasdaq 100.

What Will Finally Break the Market's Lethargy? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Clif_Droke
To most individual traders, there is no bigger buzz kill than a narrow trading range. It takes the wind out of the sails of breakout and momentum traders, and even expert stock pickers have a tough time finding the stocks which are bucking the sideways trend.
Wall Street would much rather see a lively bull market when stocks are roaring and participation is widespread among all classes of investors. But sometimes even a trading range-type market is good enough for the Street , provided stock prices are near all-time highs. For even when prices are making no headway, the aggregate yield on stocks pays enough in dividends to make the lack of action worthwhile.

Next week’s reports will be highlighted by the CPI/PPI and retail sales.

SPX and GDX in Perspective / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Below are daily charts of the S&P 500 and the gold miners index ETF, GDX. Right now, it seems as though these two are trading inversely for the most part. Odds are we see a gap down Friday in the stock market and a gap up in GDX. This should be followed by a strong rally for stocks into Monday and a strong drop in GDX. Overall, the stock market looks lower into April 21 with gold stocks trading higher.

The 2 Best Assets to Own While Waiting for a Recession / Stock-Markets / Investing 2017
By: John_Mauldin
BY STEPHEN MCBRIDE : The current bull market celebrated its eighth birthday on March 9. At 96-months long, it’s now the second longest in history.
However, with the S&P 500 set to have its worst monthly performance in over a year and the DJIA down six days in a row, questions have arisen about how much longer this run can continue.

Stock Market Investors Stupid is as Stupid Goes / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: James_Quinn
If you prefer fake news, fake data, and a fake narrative about an improving economy and stock market headed to 30,000, don’t read this fact based, reality check article. The level of stupidity engulfing the country has reached epic proportions, as the mainstream fake news networks flog bullshit Russian conspiracy stories, knowing at least 50% of the non-thinking iGadget distracted public believes anything they hear on the boob tube.
This stupendous degree of utter stupidity goes to a new level of idiocy when it comes to the stock market. The rigged fleecing machine known as Wall Street has gone into hyper-drive since futures dropped by 700 points on the night of Trump’s election. An already extremely overvalued market, as measured by every historically accurate valuation metric, soared by 4,000 points from that futures low – over 20% – to an all-time high. Despite dozens of warning signs and the experience of two 40% to 50% crashes in the last fifteen years, lemming like investors are confident the future is so bright they gotta wear shades.
