Infrastructure is the physical systems – the roads, power transmission lines and towers, airports, dams, buses, subways, rail links, ports and bridges, power plants, water delivery systems, hospitals, sewage treatment, etc. – that are the building blocks, the Legos, that fuel a countries, a cities or a community’s economical, social and financial development.

There is an undeniable, an unarguable connection between the quality of a countries economic competitiveness and its infrastructure.

Stock Market Top Close, 2017 Projection / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017

By: Brad_Gudgeon

Today’s rally (yesterday we called for new highs shortly) has put the S&P 500 right up against a rising tops line.  We are also in the area of the 17 week cycle top.  A 14%+ drop looks likely into February/March.  A strong 19%+ rally into late July and then a huge drop into the fall (-31%+), projects a down, up, down market for the year finishing Primary Wave 4.

Stock Market Short-Term TOP & POP! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Chris_Vermeulen

Currently, it is still very early days and the dust has not yet settled, however, I will make a bold forecast that the SPX is still in a BULL UPTREND from 2009.

There has been a paradigm shift in the U.S. after Trump’s election. The expected fiscal stimulus and increased government spending have ‘buoyed’ financial markets. The closed at 2213, for the first time in history on November 25^th, 2016. The shift in market sentiment has sent 10-year treasury yield topping at 2.3%, for the first time this year, as markets anticipate higher inflation.

Stock Market Topping, Gold Looks Lower / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016

By: Brad_Gudgeon

The stock market looks like it is making a distribution top into the FED meeting.  We may see a small pull back into late week and then higher prices into the 14th.  We could see a sharp drop into the 5 week cycle low due around the 19th of December.  Overall, the market should be lower into March/April 2017 (Minor Wave Wave X of Intermediate Wave Z of Primary Wave 4) next year due to a FED rate hike.

Stock Market It's Different This Time / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Ed_Carlson

The normal bullishness of this time of year was turned on its head last year and we're beginning to wonder if it may happen again this year. In addition to a plethora of cycle highs converging on last week and the coming week, the McClellan Summation index is not acting right for new highs in the equity market. It may indeed be "different this time" but different from what; normal end of year seasonality or different than last year?

By: Graham_Summers

The Bank of Japan is trying to crash the markets?

Stock Market Another Round Of Buying.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Jack_Steiman

Another Monday morning, or any morning these days, and up we go. Italy survived the latest referendum, and with nothing negative occurring, the market decided north was the best direction for it. That's been the case, although slowly, for the past many weeks. The market retested the 2194 breakout and breached below by a bit, but, thus far, it has held its ground overall, and now it's time for it to blast away from 2194 for good. I don't know if it's a guarantee as nothing in this game is a guarantee, but it feels like it may be time to put a little distance away from S&P 500 2194 to secure the breakout for good.

The Coming Stock Market Crash and WWIII / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Crash

By: Brad_Gudgeon

Much has been written about this unsustainable bubble in the stock market and the future ramifications of a major crash. We are entering an 80-year cycle where a major crisis war is going to envelop this nation. I believe that war will again be fought in Europe and the Middle East, but will this time involve militant Islam.

By my reckoning, using Elliott Wave and Benner's Cycle, I believe the crash will occur from sometime late in 2018 into 2020/21 and could or should rival the 1929-32 crash. The War should start sometime around 2021 and should last into 2025.

By: Andre_Gratian

Current Position of the Market

SPX Long-term trend: If the market strength persists, the long-term trend may need to be re-evaluated.

The 10YR Yield and SPX Stocks Bull Markets / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Tony_Caldaro

The week started at SPX 2213. After a lower opening on Monday the market pulled back to SPX 2198 by Tuesday. An OPEC pact to cut crude oil production helped the market rally to a marginal new high at SPX 2214 on Wednesday. After that the market pulled back to SPX 2187 on Thursday, and ended the week at 2192. For the week the SPX/DOW were mixed, and the NDX/NAZ lost 2.7%. Economic reports for the week were nearly all positive. On the downtick: the Q4 GDP estimate and weekly jobless claims rose. On the uptick: Q3 GDP, consumer confidence, the ADP, personal income/spending, the Chicago PMI, pending home sales, construction spending, ISM manufacturing, auto sales, monthly payrolls, the WLEI, plus the unemployment rate dropped. Fourteen positive and only two negative reports. Next week’s reports will be highlighted by consumer credit, ISM services, the ECB and factory orders.

By: Graham_Summers

Is Janet Yellen trying to crash stocks to screw Trump?

Ever since the $USD began its bull market run in mid-2014, the Fed, lead by Janet Yellen, has intervened whenever the $USD cleared 98.

Stock Market Possible Breakdown... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX has overlapped Wave [i], greatly diminishing the probability of another probe to a new high. This strongly suggests that the Top is in. This is turning into a complex decline that still may have a risk of a final surge to 2122.00, but no higher.

Take the appropriate action you deem necessary, given your propensity for risk. Shorting a bounce above 2200.00 may lower the drawdown due to a possible incomplete Wave formation.

Intraday outlook (next 24 hours): bearish
Short-term outlook (next 1-2 weeks): bearish
Medium-term outlook (next 1-3 months): neutral
Long-term outlook (next year): neutral

Very Tough Day Wall Street / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Harry_Boxer

The stock market indices had a topsy-turvy day with a pop at the opening, a sharp selloff that held support, then a huge rally that took the Nasdaq 100 from 4849 to 4897, and the S&P 500 from 2198 to 2209. In the afternoon, they consolidated and it looked like they were going higher, but when they failed to do so, they pulled back very sharply, and took a fifty percent retrace of the whole rally, and then had a little bounce at the close. They managed to close positive. But it wasn’t a very spectacular day.

Stock Market - It's the Most Wonderful Time of Year! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Ed_Carlson

The holidays bring more than just gifts under the tree, excess calories, and rude in-laws. December and January represent two of the best months of the year. However, there is often a pause in the uptrend in early December. With US markets having experienced such an extreme "Trump Bump" since the election, patience is likely a virtue for the bears and bulls alike.

By: Anthony_Cherniawski
