Who Can Keep Up With The European News?
This afternoon, the major stock market indexes have rallied once again after more news out of the European Union. This time around the European Union leaders have released a statement that they may run two separate rescue funds. Who really knows what this news actually means? If you are a trader then you should know that the European news caused the U.S. Dollar Index futures (DX Z1) to decline. When the U.S. Dollar Index declines the major stock market indexes inflate, it is that simple. The news out of the European Union is becoming impossible to keep up with. Fortunately, the U.S. Dollar Index tells us everything that we need to know. ...Continue reading here: http://bit.ly/s5O9IJ
Two Stocks That May Shoot Higher
As the market continues to hold the flat line today, many traders and investors are searching the market for the next big winner. Most stocks have rocketed higher in the last week as the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped by almost one-thousand points. Here are two possibilities for big gains in the coming days.
What It Means: Dow Jones Leading Market
The market is being held up by the Dow Jones Industrial Average today. The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA:DIA) is trading at $121.26, +0.31 (+0.26%) while the S&P 500 and NASDAQ are both flat to negative. Most average investors will not think anything of this disparity but a true pro will always take note. ...Continue reading here: http://bit.ly/rL7xln
Financial Stocks Slide Early
This morning, most of the leading financial stocks are coming under some early selling pressure. The Financial Select SPDR ETF (NYSE:XLF) is trading lower by 0.08 cents to $13.08 a share.

Agriculture Stocks Fail To Sprout
The leading agriculture stocks have not really rallied higher with the major stock market indexes. Traders can simply look at a chart of Potash Corp Sask Inc (NYSE:POT) which is the leading agriculture stock in the market at this time. The stock appears to be very weak. POT stock is trading below the daily chart 50, and 200 moving averages which put the stock in a confirmed downtrend and in a poor technical position on the charts. The stock will have some short term intra-day support around the $41.65, and $41.45 levels. Should the stock break and close below the $39.50 area on the daily chart there will not be any meaningful support until the $35.00 level. ...Continue reading here: http://bit.ly/setnfy

High Oil Will Eventually Hurt The Markets
This morning, the price of WTI crude is trading above $102.00 a barrel. Normally, during the holiday season the price of oil will usually increase and trade higher. This is a time when people will begin to travel more by air and car. It is also the start of the winter heating season as temperatures begin to drop in North America and Europe. The big question that many investors are asking themselves is how high will oil trade before the price becomes a negative on the consumer? ...Continue reading here: http://bit.ly/uqiA25

Financial Stocks Jump Out Of the Gate
This morning, all of the leading financial stocks are trading sharply higher. This sector is extremely important for all traders to follow on a daily basis.

All Of The Players Are In Place For An Inflation Extravaganza
Yesterday, all of the major stock indexes around the world surged higher after the central banks announced the coordinated intervention for the banks holding European debt. This action by the central banks is a repeat of the action taken back in September 2008. We all know what happened shortly after that intervention in 2008 as the stock markets cratered into March 2009. This time around the central bankers will probably be a bit smarter and the current scenario will not be as dire so soon. In other words, the liquidity pump will be kept on turbo mode. The problems will seem a little better than they really are. ...Continue reading here: http://bit.ly/tSerFz

Analysis: Solar Stocks Have Reached A Bottom
The solar sector is finally participating in a rally. Throughout 2011, the solar stocks have fallen, even during great market moves to the upside. The obvious issue has been margin pressure and the problems in Europe. Europe has long been one of the biggest buyers of solar energy. Austerity measures have meant major cutbacks in solar installations. In addition, overproduction of solar cells from China have caused major price cuts. Prices of solar panels have fallen off a cliff in 2011 and amazing earnings growth has turned into major losses for many players. While the fundamentals look gloomy, it appears a bottom is in. ...Continue reading here: http://bit.ly/tHBLEV
Trade Lesson: Stock Market News Is Garbage
For the average person who invests or trades, saying the news is garbage is a sin. However, it is proven over and over again to be the case. The news is nothing more than a way to take money from the bottom 99% and distribute it to the top 1%. Those at the top control the news and release it to cause certain reactions. Those reactions are carefully calculated to achieve certain goals. Those controlling these avenues and directing the markets are the Federal Reserve banks around the world and the top institutions. Today, the markets are surging once again, the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA:DIA) is trading at $119.64, +4.08 (+3.53%). ...Continue reading here: http://bit.ly/vLdMof
Always Beware Of The Bernank
This morning, all of the major stock indexes are surging higher at the open. The early rally is sparked by global central bank intervention, The central banks around the world will provide liquidity to the large banks that cannot borrow. We must all believe that the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is behind this move. The action by the central banks around the world is causing a massive short squeeze in the markets. Just think about how many investors went short yesterday as the financial stocks plummeted into the closing bell. ..Continue reading here: http://bit.ly/rzCTTV
Stock Markets Up But Watch This Big Factor
The week prior to Thanksgiving was the worst since 1932. This gives perspective on what truly is going on in the market.

Those long positions are paying huge profits this week as the markets have bounced sharply higher. The bounce is continuing today as the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY) is trading at $120.28, +0.58 (+0.48%). ...Continue reading here: http://bit.ly/tyH03s
Can The Market Inflate Without Gold?
At this time, gold and the major stock market indexes are synonymous. When gold rallies higher the major stock market indexes seem to rally higher as well. Gold is signaling to investors that inflation is being created by the central banks. As we all know by now, when there is inflation the major stock market indexes will react and trade higher. Just look at yesterday's market action, gold traded higher by more than $25.00 per ounce and the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished higher by 300.00 points. All stock market rallies that we have seen over the past 10 years have moved higher with gold. ...Continue reading here: http://bit.ly/s97RAl
Beware Of Weak Stocks In A Strong Market
All of the major stock indexes are rallying sharply higher today. Technology, energy, precious metals, and even the financial stocks are trading higher on the session. By all accounts the major stock indexes are holding up very well. While this rally appears strong today there are a few leading stocks that just can't seem to catch a bid.

Therefore, when the markets do decline again these stocks will likely lead the markets lower. ...Continue reading here: http://bit.ly/uAYJ4C

Retail In Focus, Santa Or Scrooge?
Many investors and traders are wondering if the stock markets will see a Santa Claus rally. Often the stock markets will have an end of year rally at the start of the holiday season. This year there are some major problems that could prevent that traditional rally. The main issue that could prevent the Santa Claus rally is the European banking crisis. The European Union has not really been able to figure out how to bail out all of the banks holding European sovereign debt. This crisis in the Euro-zone is not likely going to be solved anytime soon and will keep these stock markets on edge throughout the foreseeable future. ...Continue reading here: http://bit.ly/uayaKw

European Contagion Spreading Like Wildfire
This morning, there are more problems coming out of the European Union. Not only are yields spiking higher in European debt, but there are possible downgrades coming in France. Moody's has warned that France could lose it's AAA credit rating if the French 10 year bond yield spikes higher. Germany is also resisting the sale of Euro-bonds which will need all 17 countries in the EU to approve. This is causing the S&P 500 Index e-mini futures to decline lower by 16.00 points to 1198.00 per contract. Traders must expect continued volatility throughout the trading day. ...Continue reading here:http://bit.ly/tfPKTF
These Are The Robbing Peter To Pay Paul Markets
Just when you think you have heard it all you really haven't. This morning, the latest rumor coming out of Europe is that the European Central Bank ECB) will lend money to the International Monetary Fund so that they can purchase sovereign debt and buy Euro-bonds. You see, the ECB is not allowed to monetize the debt according to the current rules that are in place, therefore, by lending money to the IMF they can get around this rule. This is just another loophole in the system. Oh well, I suppose these are times that we are living in. In any case, the S&P 500 Index e-mini futures (ES Z1) are trading higher by 8.25 points to 1223.25 per contract. Just so you know, the U.S. Dollar Index is lower today and when the dollar declines the markets inflate and trade higher.
