Stock Market Outlook 2012 S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, VIX Technical Analysis - 0 views

  •  
    http://www.StockMarketFunding.com Stock Market Outlook 2012 S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, VIX Technical Analysis (VIDEO). Stock Market Outlook - For all high net worth individuals, mutual fund managers, hedge fund managers, and individual retail investors and traders. S&P500 (SPY) earnings yields (7%) versus 10-year Treasury yields (2%) make the US stock market quite cheap, based on the standard retail model of asset valuations. SMF feels the "headline risk" remains in the markets and at these price levels markets have more risk to the downside going into the earnings season. We have possible headlines coming out of Iran, Europe, Greece, Itay, Spain, and the United States based on the current "debt crisis" hitting all these nations. The stock market brought in the New Year with a bang. On the first trading day of 2012, the stock market as measured by the S&P 500 Index gained +1.54%. In this live "stock market update", StockMarketFunding will cover how we see 2012 playing out based on many factors. It's an election year in 2012, will Barrack Obama win? Or will Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, or Ron Paul challenge him? Time will tell, but for now we remain focused on stocks, earnings, and how to trade the recent rally.

Bull vs Bear we remain neutral to the market biases we see on CNBC and Bloomber and monitor weekly and monthly trends relative to the current economic outlook. Jobs offshoring, financial deregulation, and ten years of wars have severely damaged the US economy and the economic prospects of 90% of the American population. In the first decade of the 21st century, Americans lost 5.5M manufacturing jobs. US employment in the manufacture of computer and electronic products fell by 40%; in the production of machinery by 30%, in motor vehicles and and parts by 44%, and in the manufacture of clothing by 66%.

Understanding Stock Market Manipulation 101 - 2012 Robot Generated Headlines - 0 views

  •  
    At StockMarketFunding.com we've featured and highlighted how "High Frequency Trading" has forever changed the stock market. Ever since the Flash Crash the options markets have never been the same and we highlighted that throughout 2010 and 2011. Now we're seeing the dawn of a new and crude enemy that has existed, just in different forms. The "Fake News" story that makes a stock move up or down 3% to 15% in a matter of minutes. Of course in most cases there are no sources and news media insiders are paid or told of a "hot rumor" or "possible development" only to drive a stock price higher or lower. In this breaking story by ZeroHedge we can see the magnitude that "big business" has gone into to manipulte markets both international and domestic. It appears that while we were busy over the past month spreading the Greek pre- and post-bankruptcy balance sheet, and otherwise torturing Excel (something we urge other financial journalists to try once in a while - go ahead, it doesn't bite. In fact, it is almost as friendly as your favorite Powerpoint) our peer at such reputable financial publications as Forbes, and many others, were laying of carbon-based reporters and replacing them with... robots.  As Mediabistro reports, "Forbes has joined a group of 30 publishers using Narrative Science software to write computer-generated stories. Here's more about the program, used in one corner of Forbes' website: ""Narrative Science has developed a technology solution that creates rich narrative content from data. Narratives are seamlessly created from structured data sources and can be fully customized to fit a customer's voice, style and tone. Stories are created in multiple formats, including long form stories, headlines, Tweets and industry reports with graphical visualizations.""  In other words, with well over 70% of stock trading now done by robots, we have gotten to a point where robots write headlines and stories read, reacted to and traded

Stock Market Analysis Nasdaq 100 TQQQ vs SQQQ - 0 views

  •  
    Stock Market Analysis Nasdaq 100 TQQQ vs SQQQ. Following a week of extreme volatility, trading calmed down Friday. The U.S. major averages ended the week with two positive sessions, the first back-to-back gains since the recent correction began. That helped minimize the weekly decline following Monday's plunge and Wednesday's extension lower. The S&P 500 lost 1.7% on the week, with nine of the 10 sectors declining. Financials (-5.0%) saw by far the largest decline after Bank of America (BAC) led U.S. banks lower on worries regarding its Countrywide segment and potential capital issues and European financials sold off aggressively on concerns regarding the banking systems in a number of countries, particularly France. Materials eked out a gain of 0.2%. The market's focus to begin the week was domestic after Standard & Poor's became the first agency to downgrade the sovereign credit rating of the United States. The downgrade over the weekend from AAA to AA+ on political risks and the country's rising debt burden caused U.S. equity markets to nosedive Monday. The S&P 500 lost 6.7%. The FOMC responded on Tuesday when it attached a time frame to its federal funds target for the first time, calling for exceptionally low levels at least through mid-2013. Treasury yields did not spike following the S&P downgrade, and then surged to record lows on Tuesday (10-year 2.03%) after the FOMC made monetary policy more accommodative for a longer-than-expected period.
