Dow Stocks Index And The No Mercy Cycle / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014

By: Austin_Galt

The Dow hit an all time high at 17350 on the 19th September and there now seem to be many saying that is it - the bull market is done and the next great bear market is upon us. I disagree. For now, anyway. Let's investigate taking a bottom up approach beginning with the daily chart.

Bubble Trouble - What 2014 Demographic Trends Show About Urban Life / Stock-Markets / Demographics

By: Harry_Dent

Demographic trends clearly show that as any emerging or more developed country urbanizes, people tend to have fewer kids. Urban life costs more and people tend to be more highly educated and naturally, they want to better educate their kids… so they choose to have one or two.

Nearly 25% choose their well-paid careers and social life over having children.

Almost all developed countries are experiencing a slowing down of their economies due to fewer kids and sluggish demographic growth.

Stock Market Getting Edgy / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX Premarket is drifting lower as I write.  It seems to be held momentarily at Cycle Bottom support at 1967.22.  Once it breaks, the selling floodgates are opened, IMO.

ZeroHedge reports that equity futures are failing despite an onslaught of bad news from Europe.

Stock Market Wil-e-Coyote Moment May Have Arrived / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX is doing a final retest of the 50-day Moving Average before dropping off its ledge. The decline may begin yet this afternoon, so I hope y’all are short, or doubly so. This is bear country for SPX.

Everything You Need to Know About the Stock Market S&P Index Until Christmas / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014

By: Casey_Research

By Andrey Dashkov

When I need to clear my mind, I put on my beat-up Saucony sneakers and drive to nearby Deer Lake Park in Burnaby, British Columbia. After a couple of miles, though, as my body gets into a rhythm, my mind wanders back to the thought that occupy it for hours each day: where will this market go next?

Stock Market SPX has a New Broadening Top / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

Nothing is as simple as it first appears. However, the new Orthodox Broadening Top is giving us a clear crash signal at the lower trendline of the Larger Orthodox Broadening Top. This is reminiscent of the 1987 crash which had a larger Broadening Wedge and an Orthodox Broadening Top in the Wave 2 position.

Stock Market Breakdown And Save By The Bulls For Now...... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014

By: Jack_Steiman

The futures were rocking lower after protests in Hong Kong annihilated their market. Europe was down and we were sinking by the click with the Dow futures down nearly two points at their lows pre market. The S&P 500 1966 key-support double-low level was in jeopardy, and, sure enough, once the market opened, the S&P 500 made its way two points lower at 1964. It looked over, but strong positive divergences on the short-term sixty-minute charts saved the day as the S&P 500 came back from the lows to finish at 1977.

Here's What Rising Interest Rates Really Do to Your Shares / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014

By: Money_Morning

Sid Riggs writes: There is a lot of lip service being paid to the upcoming stock market crash that we're supposed to expect once the Federal Reserve starts raising rates.

Every time we get close to a regularly scheduled Federal Reserve statement, financial pundits pontificate about the nuances of what the Fed Chair might say, not say, or imply.

Yo - Stock Market is Set For a Major Correction / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014

By: Michael_Pento

Wall Street came to a halt recently, as Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba made its Initial Public Offering debut. The media became myopically focused over this so-called "historic event" and by its celebrity founder Jack Ma. By the time the closing bell had rung, the hype and fanfare propelled Alibaba up 36 percent on its first day of trading and caused the world's largest IPO to display a market cap worth $231 billion. The investing public seems to have forgotten the dangers associated with disregarding valuation metrics -- Alibaba is trading at a Price to Book value ratio north of 27!

Is a Credible Stock Market Top Forming? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014

By: Andre_Gratian

Current Position of the Market

SPX: Long-term trend - In 1932 and 1974, the 40-yr cycle was responsible for protracted market weakness. The current phase is due this year but where is the weakness? Has man (Federal Reserve) finally achieved dominance over universal rhythms or has it simply delayed the inevitable?

Intermediate trend - We are looking for the move from 1905 to end, after which a much more serious correction should start.

Stock Market S&P, NAS Change In Trend? None Apparent, But A Caveat / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014

By: Michael_Noonan

There have been no articles here on the stock market since last February, Fat Lady Has Yet To Sing. Some Questions About YOUR Stocks? A half-year later, there has still been no singing, but the questions about how profitable any of your stock holdings are is still very much pertinent ones to address. If any of your stock holdings have not increased at a rate proportionate to the averages of the indices, that could be a huge warning that should not go unheeded.

Stock Market Primary IV Underway? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014

By: Tony_Caldaro

After establishing an all time high on OPEX Friday a week ago the market went into volatility mode this week. Every day we observed the DOW moving triple digits: three down and two up. For the week the SPX/DOW were -1.2%, the NDX/NAZ were -1.3%, and the DJ World index lost 2.0%. Economic reports for the week were skewed to the downside. On the uptick: the FHFA, new home sales and Q2 GDP. On the downtick: existing home sales, durable goods, the WLEI and weekly jobless claims rose. Next week, end of month/quarter, will be highlighted by Friday’s Payrolls report and the PCE and ISM during the week.

Debt and Inflation Consquences of American Fear / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014

By: Barry_M_Ferguson

Fear is defined by the ‘online dictionary’ as ‘a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined’. America is in a permanent state of distress. America is in a permanent state of fear. Americans are, or must be, very fearful people. Why else would they surrender all their assets and all their liberties in exchange for some perceived protection?

Stock Market Bulls Roar Back... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014

By: Jack_Steiman

That's what a strong GDP can do for you if you're a bull. The market is ultimately always looking to go higher, so if you give it an excuse it usually doesn't have a problem doing so. The bears had their day yesterday with some strong down side action, which carried the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 below their 50-day exponential moving averages. You want to see, if you're a bear, a follow-through the very next day, but it didn't come. The futures were up last night immediately after the close. They built over night and exploded higher after the GDP report came out. After some decline ahead of the open, they ran higher as they day moved along.

By: Sy_Harding

It’s not a secret. Investor sentiment in the U.S. is at very high levels of bullishness and confidence.

However, the ZEW Center for European Economic Research reported this week that its investor confidence index fell from 8.6 in August to 6.9 in September. It has fallen for nine straight months.

Stock Market Retracement Stronger than Expected / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

After the abject failure at the 50-day this morning, I thought that the SPX decline was in the bag. But that was not to be. It turned out that this morning’s ramp was only Micro Wave a. Since then, SPX has done a 61.8% retracement of sub-Minute Wave (i).
