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

Options traders got rocked on options expiration 1/20/2012 on the call side and most people were left scratching their head as the bull got killed. We called the top on Google at $670 and if you didn't listen you volunteered to be a victim of Friday's $53.58 sell off. The Bull Case for Google: Google's Miss May Present An Opportunity For Investors. Google Shares still have a weekly MACD buy signal and is maintaining it's longer term weekly moving averages. Google is now currently trading at 11.75 times forward looking earnings. The company's investments in its Android mobile software and fledgling Facebook-like Google+ social network represent some of the company's key growth opportunities going forward. If Google + is gaining members then this is thought to be good for the company going forward. Google Short Term Pain Brings Long Term Opportunity. Google's chief business officer Nikesh Arora said that mobile usage is growing "leaps and bounds", led by smartphones and tablets. Google CEO Larry Page added there are now over 250 million activated Android devices, and said the holiday shopping season helped increase mobile usage, as consumers increasingly searched for products to buy. The Bear Case for Google: Google missed both its revenue and earnings targets after cost-per-click (CPC) - or money that marketers pay Google when Websurfers click on its search ads - decreased for the first time in two years despite record U.S. online commerce during the holiday season. Several brokerages cut their price targets on the stock. Online advertising revenue per click fell in the quarter and this looks like it will continue for the foreseeable future as the online advertising market is currently weak. Insiders have sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth of shares over the

Stocks moved sharply lower at the start of trading on Thursday, extending the substantial downward move seen in the previous session. The major averages all slid firmly into negative territory, with the Dow dropping to its lowest intraday level in a month. In the past few minutes, the major averages have seen some further downside, hitting new lows for the young session. The Dow is down 356.46 points or 3.2 percent at 10,768.38, the Nasdaq is down 76.15 points or 3 percent at 2,462.04 and the S&P 500 is down 35.60 points or 3.1 percent at 1,131.16. The initial weakness on Wall Street reflects renewed concerns about the global economic outlook following Wednesday's troubling commentary from the Federal Reserve as well as some disappointing economic data. In its policy statement released yesterday, the Fed noted that economic growth remains slow and warned that there are significant downside risks to the economic outlook.

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.
