What’s Around the Corner Now the U.S. Election’s Over / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2012

By: InvestmentContrarian

George Leong writes: Investors bid up stocks prior to the presidential election on Tuesday, when President Barack Obama won his second term. Investor confidence was due to some uncertainty eliminated with the election, but the nervousness quickly resurfaced on Wednesday morning, impacting investor confidence; stocks plummeted on the realization that Obama still has many hurdles to overcome and the fact that the global economy, namely in Europe and China, may be prone to more weakness that will negatively impact investor confidence.

Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: Bitter, negative, expensive...I am hard pressed to find any positive adjectives describing this year's presidential campaign.

Evidently, the markets are struggling, too.

Marc Faber Says Obama Election Win is a Disaster For US Econcomy and Stock Market / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets

By: Bloomberg

Marc Faber, publisher of the Gloom Boom, & Doom Report, told Bloomberg Television's Trish Regan and Adam Johnson on "Street Smart" today that "Mr. Obama is a disaster for business and a disaster for the United States" and that he "thought that the market on his reelection should be down at least 50%."

Faber also said "I doubt [Obama] will stay at the presidency for another four years. I think there will be so many scandals" and that investors should "buy themselves a machine gun."

The Stock Market Casts Its Vote...... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012

By: Jack_Steiman

The market voted on what it thinks of Obama winning last night's election. Four more years. Market is saying it wanted Romney for those four years. You never argue with the message of the market. My feelings are being left out here totally. Anything I say has to do specifically with the market. Again, not me but the market. Want to make it clear because I have my own thoughts that have nothing to do with the market. Bottom line is the market wanted a pro-business president. It got none of that. It wanted a president that it felt could stimulate business. The market wanted large business tax breaks to try and create new jobs. It wanted nothing to do with more debt. That's its message. I am surprised I have to admit by the size of today's drop, but it is what it is. The market had clearly, now in hindsight, been holding up thinking Romney had a great chance to win. The market got it wrong. So today we saw a gap down.

Obama Election Win, What Investors Need to be Aware of Going Foward / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2012

By: Graham_Summers

The Obama Administration has won its second term. And now that the election is over we can come to grips with the fact that nothing has been fixed and that the math is impossible both in Europe and here.

First and foremost, Greece is out of money… again.

Stock Market and Gold Post U.S. Election Analysis / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2012

By: Giuseppe_Borrelli

With more than five million Americans collecting unemployment, forty-six million on food stamps, and half of all Americans receiving some sort of government aide, we shouldn’t be surprised that Americans gave the man who made it all possible another four years. Obama won his election, the Democrats increased their hold on the Senate and gained seats in the House, so the President will take that as a mandate to move ahead with his great socialist program. Bernanke will continue with QE until hell freezes over, or the dollar collapses, in order to make the dream a reality. Obama Care will stay in the books even though it will not improve the quality of life for Americans, and they can’t afford to pay for it.

Post U.S. Election Market Forecasts for Apple, Gold, Silver, Oil and Stocks / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2012

By: Chris_Vermeulen

Over the past two months shares of gold (NYSE:GLD) and Apple (NASD:AAPL) have had a sizable bite taken out of their share price. Active traders along with the longer term investors have had a wild ride this fall watching these investments slide to multi month lows. The big question is when will gold and apple shares bounce?

Obama Election Victory Allows 4-Year Stock Market Rally to Continue / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012

By: PhilStockWorld

4 more years!

That's right, it's over. Actually, was it ever really a race or was the "close" election nothing but a fantasy engineered by the MSM to keep people interested in their election coverage? The more I read and the more I talk to people – Romney doesn't stand a chance. I'm in Las Vegas this week for our PSW Conference and most of the conversations I have with people about Romney is "who the hell is voting for him?" We're being told he's a viable candidate but maybe that's only because his team buys all the media time.

Stock Market The Day Before.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012

By: Jack_Steiman

Election day is tomorrow and it will get very interesting around here really soon. How the market will react is a complete unknown, although my guess is it will fall if Romney wins simply because he will let Bernanke go, and he will usher in the age of no more free money. The market will almost certainly hate that to happen. Romney will represent an era of taking the medicine. Markets prefer a free ride forever, regardless of the consequences that come from such behavior. If Obama wins the market will probably celebrate some initially simply because the free ride will stay around. In time the truth will catch up, but that can be many years away. There's still absolutely no sign of a bear market anywhere to be found, even though it may feel like it.

Stock Market Wimpy Election Indecision Precedes a Modest Closing Gain / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012

By: PhilStockWorld

Courtesy of Doug Short writes: The day before the presidential election saw little conviction in the stock market. The S&P 500 opened lower and hit its intraday low shortly after 10 AM. It rallied for an hour into a fractional positive range, reversed direction until near the end of the lunch hour and then mounted a modest rally, with some indecision near the end, to close with a modest gain of 0.22%. The thin volume speaks to the lack of conviction.

Stock Market Uncertainty – Waiting to See Who Runs America / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012

By: PhilStockWorld

Today doesn't matter.

Tomorrow won't matter either. Nothing will matter much, trading-wise, until we know what direction the US will be taking for the next 4 years. Not only do we not usually get such a stark contrast in political viewpoints to vote for but also this is such a critical (and precarious) time for our economy so it's not all that surprising that we've had some wild gyrations leading up to this event.

Bad Prospects for Extension of Stock Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012

By: Andre_Gratian

Current Position of the Market

SPX: Very Long-term trend - The very-long-term cycles are down and, if they make their lows when expected (after this bull market is over) there will be another steep and prolonged decline into late 2014. It is probable, however, that the steep correction of 2007-2009 will have curtailed the full downward pressure potential of the 120-yr cycle.

SPX: Intermediate trend - SPX has made a triple top, which is a bearish pattern. It has now given a strong indication that an intermediate correction is underway.

Did Hurricane Sandy Cause $36.5 Trillion In Damage? Flooded Bank Vaults / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2012

By: Raul_I_Meijer

First of all: the answer to the title question is, as far as I can see: no. But it's almost certainly a whole lot more than the $50 billion reported today, and that $36.5 trillion amount doesn’t come from thin air; it appears in a number of news articles about Sandy. All in all, the story raises a few more questions, allows you to play with a bunch of numbers, and leaves you puzzled, amazed and at times easily bewildered.
