Debt Bomb Going to Explode - Market Crash in September 2015 / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Greg_Hunter

Renowned precious metals analyst David Morgan is out with a new book called “The Silver Manifesto.” In a chapter called “The Debt Bomb,” Morgan lays out the biggest problem and the biggest reason to own precious metals. Morgan contends, “Basically, the United States have exported our inflation to every other country. So, for them to stay competitive, they are required to weaken their own currencies for what is called competitive advantage. It simply means if they don’t print . . . their currencies would become too strong, and they would not be able to export. In order to keep trade flowing, these other countries are basically required to do what the U.S. government does, and that is export a great quantity of un-backed paper promises that are impossible to pay back.

Stock Market Short-Term Rally Off Of Oversold...... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015

By: Jack_Steiman

We came in to today with the short-term, sixty-minutes charts mostly oversold. Barely above 70 RSI on the Nasdaq and small-caps stocks, but in the mid-twenties on the RSI's on the S&P 500 and Dow. Bull markets don't stay oversold for too long, unless a more severe selling is upon us. That has yet to show its hand, thus, no shock that we saw the market head higher slowly, but surely, throughout much of the day. No great thrust, but a nice move upward throughout most of the day. By the time the day was over those short-term index charts were no longer oversold.

More And More Americans Look To Protect Their Wealth Offshore / Stock-Markets / Investing 2015

By: GoldSilverWorlds

Frank R. Suess writes: Every time you think the US establishment can do no more to threaten the freedom and livelihood of the very Americans who contribute the most to the prosperity of the country, they increase the heat in the furnace by a notch with more cheap money and debt, additional laws and higher taxes. America, the land of the free, as it was rightfully referred to in the past, and certainly a beautiful place in so many ways, is in the process of destroying the very foundation it was built on.

Preparing For Financial Disaster / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2015

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

The other day, I overheard a conversation among a group of concerned Californians. They were having a debate about how they might be prepared for the next really big earthquake. 

Most folks living in the North Ridge area, and where I am located in northern California, are certain that the ‘big one’ will hit some day. There are probabilities based on geological historic data. Based on that data, we know it will happen, we just don’t know when. Consequently, the majority do nothing about it.

Thematic Investing Train Leaves The Station / Stock-Markets / Investing 2015

By: Anthony_Alfidi

The finance sector is always ready to entertain some new theory. The latest is thematic investing, which can mean just about anything. A handful of asset managers and consultancies have think pieces telling institutional clients how to make this work. Do a Web search to read them yourselves. I poked around a number of reputable sources tracking thematic investing to see what's missing from the discussion.

Stock Market Pull Back Expected: What's Ahead? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015

By: Brad_Gudgeon

Last week I wrote that I believed that the 20 week cycle low would take the S&P 500 to near 2008/09 by March 6. We closed Friday at 2071 and look likely to go lower into next week. As it stands now, I believe I was 4 trading days off in my calculations. The ideal 100 trading day low is due Thursday March 12 right on the Bradley turn (we never know whether a "Bradley Siderograph" turn will be a high or low). Seldom is the 100 trading day cycle low ideal either because it has a tolerance of about 15% either way.

Dangerous Idiots Are On the Prowl, Stalking Your Money / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2015

By: Money_Morning

Michael E. Lewitt writes: I often find myself thinking we are living in the golden age of American idiocy.

With the advent of social media, we are exposed to discourse that is often best left unsaid, from actresses discussing their colonic purges to sports talk hosts engaging in tasteless rants on Twitter.

But the idiocy is not confined to social media and is especially rampant in the investment world.

Stock Market Pullback Underway / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015

By: Tony_Caldaro

The market started the week at SPX 2105. After a rally to SPX 2118 on Monday the market had gap down openings three of the next four trading days. By late Friday the SPX had traded down to 2067, then ended the week at 2071. For the week the SPX/DOW were -1.55%, the NDX/NAZ were -0.80%, and the DJ World index lost 1.70%. Economic reports for the week were slightly biased to the negative again. On the uptick: personal income, the PCE, auto sales, ISM services, payrolls, plus the unemployment rate and trade deficit improved. On the downtick: personal spending, ISM manufacturing, construction spending, the ADP, factory orders, consumer credit, the WLEI, the monetary base, plus weekly jobless claims rose. Next week we get reports on Retail sales, the PPI and Consumer sentiment.

Hot Jobs...Fear Of Rate Hikes... Hits Stock Market Hard..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015

By: Jack_Steiman

It was a very interesting day for the stock, market because it received the type of great news no one wanted to hear. Sometimes good news is not good for your bottom line. It's nice to see a lot of jobs added, well above what was expected. While it is true that many of the jobs added were of the lower paying type, it was still good to see anything on the positive side of job creation. Now the problem. Too many new jobs equates to a few raising rates. The market doesn't want any part of that. It doesn't want folks to have alternative places to go with their dollars. Then real question ultimately will be whether this is the beginning of a rate hike cycle. A full cycle or will it be a onetime situation with the Fed needing a lot more information before making hikes more of a regularity. She is a dove and won't shock the market, but in the end it's not about her.

SPX Stocks Index Closes at the Lows / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

This is beyond my expectation.

SPX did not bounce into the close.  At the end of the day it challenged Intermediate-term support at 2069.17.  This may be the end of sub-Minute Wave (i) of Minute Wave [iii].  There were a lot of squiggles at the end, so it is difficult to say whether it completed the Wave (ii) retracement or not.  If so, it was severely truncated.

Stock Market Remain Bullish - But Watchful / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015

By: Sy_Harding

Remain bullish because the bull market remains in place, with most indexes making new highs as recently as last week. Support levels continue to hold on short-term pullbacks, technical indicators remain on buy signals, and the market’s favorable season usually lasts into April/May.

However, be watchful - because the rally is increasingly abnormal, is unlikely to be sustainable much longer, and could change quickly.

Stock Market Major Selloff Looms / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015

By: Zeal_LLC

The latest record highs in the US stock markets have unleashed astounding complacency.  Traders are utterly convinced that the past couple years’ massive Fed-fueled rally will continue indefinitely.  But with today’s lofty stock markets extremely overvalued, wildly overextended, and rampantly euphoric, a serious selloff is looming.  The prudent contrarians preparing for this inevitable major reversal are going to earn fortunes.

Though you wouldn’t know it from recent history, stock markets rise and fall.  They are forever cyclical, an endless parade of alternating bulls and bears.  Market history simply couldn’t be clearer on this.  Yet ironically after long bull or bear markets, the great majority of traders forget this.  They get caught up in their own emotions, and wrongly assume the long-in-the-tooth trend is the new norm that will endure perpetually.

U.S. Employment Numbers Raise USD and TNX, Sink SPX / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2015

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

Good Morning!

SPX Premarket appears to have fallen beneath the hourly mid-Cycle support at 2094.26, but we really need to see the neckline at 2087.62 broken to confirm the reversal.

The big news is that February Payrolls surged to 295,000 and the (official) unemployment rate dropped to 5.5%.

Stock Market Dow Theory Divergence / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015

By: Christopher_Quigley

European Basic Income Initiative.
Based upon the teachings of Major Clifford Douglas and his Social Credit ideals a major citizens initiative is gaining traction in Europe called UBIC: Unconditional Basic Income Europe.
 
This movement aims to try to solve the issue of structural unemployment in Europe. Unemployment caused not by recession and austerity but labour displacement resulting from the technological fact that increasingly more and more can be produced by less and less labour. Thus the powers that be are beginning to realise that if folk do not have wage income to purchase what is produced a permanent recession will ensue.
