End of the World History Stock Chart… / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks

By: Rambus_Chartology

I try to show this long term monthly chart for the $COMPQ which I call the “End of the World History Chart” at least once a year or if something interesting takes place. When you look at the 1987 crash it felt like the end of the world at the time but that ended up being the second reversal point in the green bullish rising channel. How many remember the months leading up to the first Gulf war in 1991? No one knew at the time how that conflict would play out as the US was going up against the 5th largest army in the world. On the first night of bombing it was very clear that the conflict would be over quickly and the stock markets took off the very next day which made the fourth reversal point in the green bullish rising channel.

Market Outlook 2017 According To Our Proprietary Indicators / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2017

By: InvestingHaven

It was quite a volatile year, with a mix of collapses and rallies across markets. Think of gold’s breathtaking rise, crude’s collapse, and copper’s rally. After the summer, gold started collapsing while crude and stocks rallied strongly. With this year’s volatility, it is quite challenging to define a market outlook for 2017. To get a sense of what 2017 will bring, we analyze our proprietary market barometer and our leading market indicator.

Trump, Reagan Economies at Polar Opposites / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016

By: Michael_J_Kosares

Market expectations could be based on false assumption

“Looking ahead, Credit Suisse argues against the view of many pundits that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s fiscal policies are likely to hurt gold. The market has factored in an expectation that a mix of U.S. tax cuts, deregulation and infrastructure spending will boost the economy, pushing up real interest rates and strengthening the U.S. dollar. ‘We counter that trade protectionism and anti-immigration policies are negative for growth and positive for inflation,' Credit Suisse said." – SMN News/Kitco

Official Warning: Stocks Are Going to Crash / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Crash

By: Graham_Summers

Stocks are going to Crash.

This wasn’t the case a mere six weeks ago. But the Bank of Japan has committed one of the most egregious manipulations in history.

The Yen/ $USD pair has imploded by over 14% in the last six weeks. The last time the pair fell this much the BoJ expanded an already monstrous QE program by $260 BILLION.

Stock Market Saeculum 1st Turning Underway / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Tony_Caldaro

The market started the week at SPX 2192. After a gap up opening on Monday the SPX rallied to 2252 by Thursday. Then the largest pullback in a week took the SPX down to 2243 late Thursday, before the market rallied and closed at a SPX 2260 all time high on Friday. For the week the SPX/DOW gained 3.10%, and the NDX/NAZ gained 3.35%. Economic reports for the week were light and leaned positive. On the downtick: consumer credit, wholesale inventories, the Q4 GDP estimate, plus the trade deficit increased. On the uptick: ISM services, factory orders, consumer sentiment, the WLEI and weekly jobless claims improved. Next week’s reports will be highlighted by the FOMC, retail sales and industrial production. Best to your week!

Inevitable Global Ruin: Top Hedge Fund Managers Sound the Alarm / Stock-Markets / Financial Crisis 2016

By: Jeff_Berwick

When monetary control is centralized, as it is today, prosperity withers. The Wall Street Journal just surveyed top hedge fund managers and found a significant belief that full-fledged, global ruin is on its way. Tamper with freedom, monetarily or otherwise, and you end up facing catastrophe.

That’s just where we are today.

The managers pointed directly at the purposeful monetary mismanagement of central banks around the world. These central banks large and small are pumping oceans of money into financial markets as well as lowering rates until they are actually negative, which has never happened before in recorded history.

India's Stock Market: Nothing "Random" About It / Stock-Markets / India

By: EWI

See how beautifully India's 8-year long bull market follows a clear Elliott wave fractal pattern

Every day, the mainstream financial experts attempt to explain away fluctuations in stock market trends with some "fundamental factor" du jour, all of which boil down to this: good news causes a market to rise and bad news -- to fall.

Stock Market What Can we Expect in December? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX has closed above its daily Cycle Top at 2232.21 and met at least two Fibonacci targets at 2250.00 and 2255.00. It must close back beneath its Cycle Top to get a possible daily sell signal. Preferably Wave 1 should decline to or beneath last Friday’s low at 2187.44 before retesting the Cycle Top. The final challenge of the Cycle Top is the ideal short entry in this scenario.

Will Trump Cause Geopolitical Chaos? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016

By: Arkadiusz_Sieron

Before the U.S. presidential election analysts pointed out that Trump's administration would be positive for the yellow metal, because of the elevated general uncertainty, possible geopolitical turmoil (due to trade wars or recalibration of foreign policy), slower economic growth (due to protectionism), as well as widened fiscal deficits and higher inflation (due to tax cuts and higher government spending).

SPX is back under its Cycle Top Resistance / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

The SPX structure appears to have morphed again. If you can find the structure, you can ascertain what the guidelines are.

The first is that A equals C at 2250.0. That doesn’t put a limit on it, but provides a guideline.

The second is that Wave [v] is 2.38 times [i] at 2251.91.

Ireland EU Exit? - Wealthbuilder Stock Market Brief December 2016 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Christopher_Quigley

Irexit: Ireland may have to consider leaving the EU.

Since the Brexit vote this summer most national and international media outlets were focused on the American presidential election. However, one story that got lost in the Trump firestorm was the fact that it increasing looks like the Irish government will have to seriously contemplate leaving the EU should the terms of the British Brexit “divorce” be hard rather than soft.

Stock Market and the Great Middle Class Revolt Gets Bigger / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Clif_Droke

With the U.S. presidential election now behind us, many investors feel they can finally breathe easy again after a nail-biting period of uncertainty since last year. The rally in the major equity market indices since Nov. 9 has been in large part a relief rally of sorts and has been broad-based. The sell-off in bonds has also been an indication of this collective relief.

Protectionist Trump Policies To Crash Dollar, Gold and Bitcoin to Soar / Stock-Markets / Protectionism

By: Jeff_Berwick

Many people seem to think Trump is going to “fix” the US by invoking the isolationist, nationalist, and oft failed economic policy of protectionism. But, as Ludwig von Mises put it in Nation, State and Economy, “From the purely economic point of view nothing speaks against free trade and everything against protectionism.” In other words, there is no economic argument in favor of protectionism. It is not a viable economic policy.

The Jaws of Life : The Most Hated Stocks Bull Market in History! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Rambus_Chartology

Tonight I would like to update the INDU we’ve been following which continues the upside move since the night of the US elections. Keep in mind some of these consolidation patterns began to form back in 2015 which had nothing to do with the US elections. It’s the billions upon billions of shares that were traded which produced this breakout move that is now being recognized for what it is. Even at this stage of the breakout move, there will be many doubters who will never recognize what is actually taking place. It can be very difficult to think outside of the box when we are bombarded everyday on how bad things are and how bad things are going to get. There has to be the proverbial wall of worry in order to have a bull market. Once the bull market becomes mature then the wall of worry comes down, and everyone is invited to invest in the markets, which will be at the blow off phase like in 2000.

Infrastructure A Budding Asset Class / Stock-Markets / Infrastructure

By: Richard_Mills

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.
