Yea, I haven't posted on the market bear for ages, and truth be told, i'm not that bothered. The market is too fickle for any kind of pre-analysis to hold meaning beyond the immediate. However, I thought i'd show you my analogy of 2011 with 2003 which if it plays out, calls for - a big opening day to the year on false optimism for the year ahead after a difficult year- followed by an immediate

I'd like to point out a couple of things, for those thinking now's a good place to buy (and I wont mention Greece once): 1) You never crash from a top. You crash after you've bled and bled then bled some more.2) We're 3 points off the Dow weekly 200ma and the futures are 50 under. It broke the weekly 200 in 2008, at exactly the same time as we are now, and it went from 11,000 to the sub 8000 in a

Well, the Fed came out and said they would buy longer dated treasuries....$400bln of them BUT, would do so from funds generated from selling shorter dated treasuries. This is the so called operation twist....but the market clearly wanted and expected more, especially as we hang off a proverbial cliff. Dow was off 300 odd from the peak yesterday, but there's not a huge amount of technical damage

Plenty of blood on the dance floor at the moment. The Dow hasn't paused for breath since Bernanke refrained from giving any hint of QE iii. I must say, it's all very well stage managed. Remember, they need the stock market to tank at least another 10% or so to justify 'urgent further stimulus'. You can see it coming. I think the Dow wants to get there sooner rather than later.

I do like the look of this chart. Pull back, move back up, doji....the 50ma remains firmly in sight for sure. The risk is of course we exceed the last swing high just above 12,200 and if we do, all bets are off. However, as we stand. with lower volume on the up day and a 50ma that hasn't been touched since early Dec, i'm up for the chase down to at least that level. 200ma is 1000 lower -

Will the Bond Market and Rising Inflation Expectations Force the Fed’s Hand? | FINANCIAL SENSE: "While the economy and markets were tested last summer and were saved by the Fed, this time around the Fed may not be able to come to the rescue riding the QE horse with rampant inflation. As always, time will tell."

Look at the above chart. The smooth, relentless rise since December has been nothing short of painful. We're int he throws of potentially the first decent 3 day pullback since November (I ignore early Jan as it was so shallow). You have to chalk in the 50 day moving average as the first stop on the way down. Thats 11,852 at the moment. Nice red volume spikes too although i'm convienced that

All is not well with the Baltic dry index. 66% fall since Sept. Ouch. Markets continue to falter. This is day 3 of the gadaffi-dive. Lets see if she ends down. If she does, it'll be the first 3 day drop for eons.

Planet Yelnick: "Either we top real soon, or we shoot to 1500? And 'shoot' is the only term to use; under the bullish wave count, we would be entering the most explosive phase of a bull market, the midpoint of the 3rd of the 3rd. This market would accelerate, rising at a steeper pace. "

Planet Yelnick: "The Big Picture adds that a double-double (a double within 2 years) has only happened two prior times: 1934 and 1937. After those double-doubles, those markets continued higher by another 35-40%,"

Hello There, You may have noticed I haven't posted much in the last month or so. Let's face it, there isn't a lot to post. We have a debt fuelled growth spike which everyone is buying into. Hooray, lets all party. The only problem is, that debt has to be paid off. So, who's going to pay it off? Yes, you and me and our children. Us mugs paying too much tax because a lousy Labour government

zero hedge | on a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero: "Put very simply: the U.S. economy is now totally dependent on unlimited expansion of debt and credit creation by the Central State and its proxies. Withdraw those and the gap between the managed-perception economy (the propaganda facade) and the real economy vanishes: reality trumps perception."
