Volume remains an enigma but really shouldn't. Last week Trim Tabs made the stunning report that investors, mostly retail, during just the first 11 months of 2011 put $889 billion into checking accounts. This is money under the mattress. Why is this happening? No trust unfortunately and Wall Street, the NYSE and other enablers have made trading a casino for program trading algos, hedge funds

Market Direction Marked by Confusion: Dave's Daily
Posted by Necromander 48 days ago (http://www.thestreet.com)
There wasn't much follow-through from Tuesday's outsized rally. Bulls were able to mount an afternoon charge from 1% declines in the DJIA and SPX to close basically even on the day. Things weren't so good for the NASDAQ where the index closed 1% lower on Oracle's (ORCL) poor earnings report. In tech land poor earnings and guidance are becoming more common. Meanwhile Yahoo (YHOO) is co

Stock Market Crap Shoot: Dave's Daily
Posted by OmegaBreak 88 days ago (http://www.thestreet.com)
Italy's government passed an austerity budget which soothed investors concerns so stocks rallied once again. In fact, after a grueling week marked by extraordinarily high volatility again bulls were able to eke-out gains for the week. After Wednesday's immense rout you probably thought a positive weekly close was out of the question. Stocks did rally sharply on better news from the euro zone,

Mr. Market, Meet the Fockers: Dave's Daily

A couple of really dumb moves highlight the massive sell-off seen in equity markets Tuesday. The first came from Greece where Prime Minister Papandreou after committing to a deal with the EU had a change of heart and wants a public referendum. That's nice but clearly blindsided markets and his EU brethren given this wasn't part of the deal. The concern is banks have agreed to a voluntary hair

But, there is some sober second thoughts especially including the idea it will take months to implement "the plan" even as we don't know the details.

The EU completed its summit (sort of) but put off until November the plan's details. From what we've seen thus far the plan is insufficient in scope, but there are hints China and/or Brazil will add some funds. The latter is yet to be determined but, the mere idea of this, caused stocks to rally once more. If you Googled any euro zone rescue issue you'd find many different "drop dead" dates ov

Bulls Prevent Bear Market This Week: Dave's Daily
Posted by wolfthestar 122 days ago (http://www.thestreet.com)
It didn't take much Tuesday to get a short-squeeze underway. Markets were at bear market levels then until a rumor, passing as a news story from FT, got the bullish HFT algos going. That was one of the most spectacular 30 minute short-squeezes in a long time. The momentum from that combined with more "we're gonna do something" chatter from the euro zone kept bullish momentum going most of the wee

Manic Market Behavior Continues: Dave's Daily
Posted by Aragorn1123 132 days ago (http://www.thestreet.com)
It's hard to make sense of current market behavior. What is still driving markets lower is a lack of conviction about euro zone "fixes" combined with sharply lower commodity prices. Much of the latter may have to do with Bank of America (BAC) strategist David Cui suggesting China growth could come in below 7%. For them, that would qualify as a "hard landing". This may be why important commoditi

Investors Unload on Market; Dave's Daily

Investors aren't too happy with conditions overall and the image above plainly sums up the mood. If you stop and think about it you might conclude that we're just continuing the 2008 recession. Central planners and politicians captive to the election cycles haven't dealt with conditions forthrightly. Phony, ineffective and now corrupt stimulus packages haven't helped.

A Bronx cheer was given to Bernanke's speech and Obama's subsequent presentation Thursday. It doesn't help a credible terror alert was issued for NYC and DC as 9/11 is remembered.
