Переслать - Stay Profitable In These Volatile Market Conditions By Making Quick Trades
A crazy week in the markets has gone by again, and I must emphasize the “crazy”. Sentiment has swung from one panic end to another euphoric end, and even so, investors can’t maintain each state of emotion with much conviction or get others to feel the same way they do. Many of them are confused about what to think about the “rally” that we’ve seen in the stock markets this week and the “rally” of the US dollar in the forex markets.
Early in the week, stocks kept falling on the woes of … [visit site to read more]

Переслать - US Stock Market Update: Slow Motion Moves
The market opened like a soccer match. First this way, then back up the field the other way, and wait, back again the other way. Makes me want to grab some popcorn and just watch from the side lines.
Not much is happening… Resistance on the S&P 500 charts I highlighted in last nights posts are holding at this time. The weakness from the technology sector has put the brakes on the bear market rally, for now anyway.
The gains in the financial sector are too fast and have gone way too … [visit site to read more]

Переслать - This Probably Isn't The Bottom
The market action this week showed the classic signs of investor capitulation. The most important sign was the enormous volume seen in XLF. My trading desk sources reported huge buying interest in XLF on Wednesday and Thursday, indicating that there was real institutional money buying the Financials – a sign that these stocks may have seen an intermediate bottom.
Phoenix not rising yet
Despite these bullish indications, I don't think that this marked THE BOTTOM for the … [visit site to read more]Article Published On GraceCheng.com - visit Grace Cheng Financial News & Opinions for more great content.

Переслать - Options Expiration Is Playing An Important Role In Market Volatility
The squeeze continues and options expiration beginning tomorrow is playing a much bigger role than most might suspect. From past experience as an options principal and under these conditions, floor brokers are hunting down options strike prices like we should be bin Laden.

Naturally they're being abetted by our government with direct market and indirect interference to buy stock with your tax dollars. … [visit site to read more]
