    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.

Amazon's "Fire" vs Apple's "iPhone" Pro's & Cons Business & Stock Review - 0 views

  •  
    Amazon's "Fire" vs Apple's "iPhone" Pro's & Cons Business & Stock Review. Amazon's 7-Inch Tablet Called "Fire" Will Cost $199 will Rival Apple Iphone. Amazon is unveiling today a tablet, called the Fire, that may not have all the same features as an iPad, but will start at a much lower price. According to a Bloomberg report citing Amazon executives, it will cost $199, compared to the iPad, which starts at $499. Initially, it appears the Kindle Fire will be more of a color version of the Kindle e-reader than a true competitor to the iPad. The device will have a 7-inch display (3-inches shy of the iPad), and will run Google's Android software, but it won't have an embedded camera or microphone. Additionally, it will come with Wi-Fi, but not 3G. All Things D's Peter Kafka is live in New York to cover all of the proceedings. As rumored previously, the device will come with a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime, the Seattle company's $79 annual membership, which includes free two-day shipping, but also some content, like streaming video.

Stock Market Trading Live Plunge Stocks Fall 3%, Dow Down 360: U.S. Join World Sell-Off - 0 views

  •  
    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 - 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.
