Anatomy of a Stock Market Sell-Off / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Money_Morning
Michael A. Robinson writes: Meet “Mr. Market.”
He’s the analogy that Warren Buffett – you know him – uses to help investors understand the market as though it were a person.
Usually, Mr. Market is as rational as the efficient market we all dream about.

Stock Market SPX New Head & Shoulders Formation / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The bounce turned into a double zigzag correction which had a higher target than an a-b-c would accommodate. There is a new Head & Shoulders formation with the top of the right shoulder matching the length of the left shoulder at 1903.58, just under the 200-day Moving Average at 1906.07. It may not make either target.
Intermediate Wave (1) may turn out to be either a Leading Diagonal with five Minor A-B-C waves, or an (A)-(B)-(C) wave in a larger degree Wave [1]. The pattern will work itself out, as it did in the decline in gold.

How to Invest in a Difficult Market / Stock-Markets / Investing 2014
By: Casey_Research
Many experts hold dim views of the current state of the US economy—but what’s a prudent investor to do to make a profit? Find out what the blue-ribbon faculty of economists and investment pros at the recently concluded Casey Research Fall Summit thought.
Lacy Hunt, senior executive VP of Hoisington Investment Management Company and former chief economist at the Dallas Fed, says the main reason that the global economy continues to falter is that all countries borrow too much and save too little.

Allow me to share a simple sketch I drew that was part of an NFTRH interim update for subscribers last night. The black line is where we have been. The blue line is a projection of what a typical correction (whether a healthy interim one or a bear market kick off) might look like.

How to Trade the Ebola Stock Market Sell-Off / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: I believe Ebola may be the most serious threat to humanity since the bubonic plague of the Middle Ages. Already it has spread to a dozen countries, including the U.S., and more than 4,000 people are dead. According to Dr. Bruce Aylward of the World Health Organization (WHO), mortality rates are rising and now sit at 70%.
This outbreak is more grim proof that the global trend of war, terrorism, and ugliness is indeed a growth industry.

Stock Market Pullback Underway, Euro downside, Commodities / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2014
By: Puru_Saxena
BIG PICTURE – The first round of QE began in March 2009 and after 5½ years, the Federal Reserve’s bond buying program is coming to an end. Since the QE program boosted confidence, combated deflationary forces and sparked an epic bull market on Wall Street; it is hardly surprising that its end has brought about some turbulence in the stock market.
There can be no denying the fact that over the past few years, the QE program significantly assisted the stock market by tackling the deflationary forces within the economy. You will recall that when QE1 and QE2 were ending, the stock market abruptly reversed course and the major indices started to face intense selling pressure. Thereafter, when the Federal Reserve unleashed its next bout of bond purchases, buyers returned in earnest and piled into common stocks.

The 10th Man: What a Stock Market Correction Feels Like / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: John_Mauldin
Back in the summer of 2007, when I was working for Lehman Brothers, I had a vacation to the Bahamas planned. This was unusual for me. Up until that point, in six years of working for Lehman, I had taken about five vacation days—total. But my wife and I were going to a semi-primitive resort on Cat Island, the most desolate island in the Bahamas. Interesting place for a vacation. Suffice to say that it’s plenty hot in the Bahamas in August.

Rising Market Volatility / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2014
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX is down over 1% in the Premarket. Today is day 69 in the current Master Cycle. The nearest Pivot is 68.8, so it may have made the Pivot at yesterday’s close. That is why I was uncertain on how the Pivot would work.
There may be some attempt to rally SPX prior to the open, but there is no liquidity in the hedge funds’ favorite market, the E-mini.

Stock Market Splat.....But Well Off The Lows...... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Jack_Steiman
The market was primed to go higher today as Intel Corporation (INTC) and CSX Corp. (CSX), two key market leaders, were rocking after hours last night after reporting earnings. Futures were exploding higher due to those reports, and the fact that daily and sixty-minute short-term charts were oversold. A nice combination for the bulls to get some momentum. Then over night the news from overseas on their economies, plus further bad news on the Ebloa virus, caused the futures to reverse hard, allowing for a massive gap down across the board of 1% or a bit more. That's unusual for the indexes. They rarely move that much in a day at the open.

The Best Strategy for Dealing With the Stock Market Sell-Off / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Investment_U
Marc Lichtenfeld writes:Investors have it tough today.
The market has been ugly the past few weeks, instilling fear in some investors that the bull market is over and they missed their chance at making money.
Additionally, interest rates are still so low, it's tough to generate any income from your nest egg.

Why This Stock Market Selloff Is the Next "Buy the Dip" Opportunity in Stocks / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: DailyWealth
Brett Eversole writes: Investors are scared.
Over the past few years, we've seen investors hit the panic button every time the market sells off even a few percent.
"This is the big one," they think. So they run for the door as sentiment reaches a negative extreme. But in this bull market, these extremes in sentiment have turned out to be "buy the dip" moments... not the starts of crashes.

Possible Stock Market Runing Correction / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Afternoon!
We may be witnessing a running correction, which I haven’t seen since September 2002. This is typified by a short Wave a followed by a very long Wave b, then followed up by a short Wave c, as we see in the chart. Today was a Pivot day and the only way I can interpret it is that Micro Wave c topped at 1863.76.

Is This the Discount Sale Stock Market Investors Have Been Waiting For? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: DailyGainsLetter
George Leong writes: October has provided the usual bouts of anxiety that have characterized the month in past years. I warned that we could see volatility and so far, this has been the case.
From small-cap stocks to world-class blue-chip companies, we are seeing some selling capitulation emerge in the stock market.
All of the major key stock indices are below their respective 50-day and 200-day moving averages (MAs). As I said in a recent commentary, the chart risk is high.

Stocks Bull Market Over? Trend Forecast to End Jan 2015 - Video / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The stock market is in the midst of a roller coaster ride during the past few weeks with stomach churning down moves that have been encouraging the bears to once more call an end to the bull market backed by supporting reasons coalescing around expectations for the U.S. Fed is to bring QE to an end and signal that interest rate hikes just around the corner. Then there’s China economic weakness, a European recession, ISIS and not forgetting EBOLA! So plenty of doom for the bears to play pick and mix with for reasons why End Time is here!

Stock Market Dow The Contrarian Play / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Austin_Galt
I've been calling for one final high in the Dow to put an end to this most awesome bull market. This can be quite the mental challenge in the face of declining prices with many market commentators already calling the top in. But I remain steadfast. I still believe the final high is yet to be seen.
To make matters more interesting, the major support of the August 2014 low of 16333 has now been cracked. This level has been a line in the sand and the focus of many analysts. That includes me. However, it is now so obvious that my warning bells are ringing.
