Stock Market 6-7% Pull Back Likely, Gold Still Going Down / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Brad_Gudgeon
The stock market's recent advance has been nothing less than spectacular. Caveat emptor: the rally was mainly in the large cap stocks. The FED's determination to raise interest rates in December is predicated on the upcoming economic data. One of the most important releases comes out on November 6th, the jobs report.

Stock Market Dow Set to Defy Naysayers and Trend Higher / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Sol_Palha
Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn. - Benjamin Franklin
Fear sells, and like misery it demands company. The so-called crash in August triggered dozens of hibernating bears to emerge from the woodwork. Rested from the last severe beating they took, they are ready for another healthy dose of pain. In their quest to push the fear factor a notch higher, celebrity perma-bears such as David Tice are brought out confirm that all is not well. If the markets were destined to sink into the gutter, David Tice would not have sold his Prudent Bear fund at the peak of the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

Stock Market Overbought Daily Charts...Monthly's Awful...Short Term Still Ok.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
There's a nasty combination out there that says things won't be all that easy for a while, but still nothing in the moment that says the bad-news bear is about to get rocking. I still think that's a bit out there, although not too far out there. The daily index charts hit 70 RSI for a few days. Fortunately, they didn't get too overbought, thus, some selling makes sense at some point soon.

Stocks Bull Market Trending Towards New All Time High Before End 2015 - Video / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Barely a couple of months ago the overwhelming consensus view that FOLLOWED the August plunge were expectations that the 6 years stocks bull market was finally over, killed off by the China crash, and prospects for Fed tightening. Nevertheless the 'End Times' Apocalypse was Now, and such bearishness was not just being voiced by the usual suspects i.e. the crash is always coming Perma crowd, but even included those who may have been mostly bullish from time to time with statements such as there was now a 99.7% probability that stocks were in a bear market.

3 Reasons to Get Excited about Japanese Stocks / Stock-Markets / Japanese Stock Market
By: EWI
Dear Investor,
Is this sleeping giant ready to offer opportunities for investors?
Anyone investing since the 1980s knows the boom and bust story of Japan and its Nikkei stock index. The Nikkei peaked just below 39,000 in 1989. Once known as a leading economic power, Japan's "bubble economy" burst, and for the last 25 years it has been in and out of recession and suffered a gut-wrenching deflationary environment. The Nikkei spent several years below 10,000, dashing any hope for investors.

Taxicab medallions and margin debt: A similar reversal in the making
As a native New Yorker, I can say with complete confidence: It's true; there's no place on earth like The Big Apple. It's also true that, until recently, most New Yorkers would trip a nun if it meant hailing a Yellow cab first.

Stock Market Three Peaks and a Domed House / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Ed_Carlson
Point 27
A six-month cycle pointed to an important low in Sept/Oct this year. A low then matches seasonal expectations for equities. If that low was point 26 on Lindsay’s template, then the rally into point 27 will be short as the right shoulder after the cupola (point 27) usually occurs at about five months or less after the cupola (point 23). From 1901 through 2011 there have been only three instances of a longer time frame between points 23 and 27.

The Stock Market Big Picture / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
The SPX Premarket is down, but around 8:30 a rally has been launched to attempt to take SPX higher. How far the central banks and primary dealer banks can push it is yet to be determined. I recalculated the targets for the three formations and was surprised at how closely they all agree.

Stock Market Pushing Up...How High Can We Go?...ISM Nearing Recession... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
The market futures were quite a bit lower last night ahead of today's very important ISM Manufacturing Report due out thirty minutes into the trading day. As the night wore on, the European markets started to bid, and, thus, our futures bid up as well. We were green by the time the day started, and as the day wore on the market rose further and further leaving the bears scratching their heads in wonder.

Dow Death Cross is Not a Bearish Signal for the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Sol_Palha
People who cannot recognize a palpable absurdity are very much in the way of civilization.- Agnes RepplierOne of the common themes we have spotted it that many of the readily available tools don’t provide their users with any meaningful edge. If the indicator is easy to use and easy to master, that means a plethora of individuals will be relying on it to give them some edge over the masses. What they fail to understand is that they are the part of the mass, they are trying to outwit. A lot of chatter has sprung about lately regarding the death cross. First it was the Dow, and now there is talk about the U.S dollar. This indicator like the “Hindenburg Omen” is far from perfect and could lead to more harm than good if utilized consistently, other than the cool names they carry, they offer little in terms of value: they are both easy to master and understand and this, in essence, renders them useless.

US Stocks Rebound May Be Hollow / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
SPX closed just beneath its Diagonal trendline. Over the weekend, SPX futures were down as many as 10 points before recovering to breakeven this morning. The Premarket is mildly positive (+1.00), but does not appear to have thrown back into the Diagonal at this time. Odds seem to be in favor of a further decline this morning. If so, there is a probability of testing Short-term support at 2039.18. However, should a further bounce occur, SPX overhead resistance appears to be between 2086.20 and 2089.00.

You Will Hear the Roar of the Printing Presses from Mars / Stock-Markets / Quantitative Easing
By: Michael_J_Kosares
“We are exiting the eye of the giant financial hurricane that we entered in 2007, and we’re going into its trailing edge. It’s going to be much more severe, different and longer lasting than what we saw in 2008 and 2009… The U.S. created trillions of dollars to fight the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009. Most of those dollars are still sitting in the banking system and aren’t in the economy. Some have found their way into the stock markets and the bond markets, creating a stock bubble and a bond super-bubble. The higher stocks and bonds go, the harder they’re going to fall.” – Doug Casey, Casey Research

Stock Market Overbought...Action Positive....Pessimism Unwinding / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
The market has hung in there very well. It has been at or near overbought for quite some time. Thankfully, it's not severely overbought, but it is overbought nonetheless. It's staying overbought as the market awaits the big report out on Tuesday morning. The ISM Manufacturing Report. The market is in a hopeful mood it seems. It's hanging on to hope that the number is over 50.0, or the number that separates recession from growth. If the number comes in below 50 then look out below. If it's above 50 the market should hang in well, instead of pulling back from 70 RSI readings. The bulls are also decently happy over some of the earnings reports that have come out lately. Some nice, upward surprises have taken place in various areas of the market, allowing for some buying across the board, although there are some real lagging sectors to be sure.
