What Can Movies Tell You About the Stock Market?

I came across the following article, and it has such a  different way of looking at the market that I just had to post it. After you read the article…maybe the recent Shrek box-office disappointment is the first stage…you’ll understand after you read it.  Enjoy.

Markets Around the World Sell Off

Markets around the world in all different asset classes fell through the floor today. On the weekend I posted that key support had broken in the US equities markets and that moves up to resistance were selling opportunities.  That is still the case.  The market did pull back on Tuesday almost exactly to 1104, which…

Stock Martket (S&P 500) Outlook…What Happened?

Tough week for the equities markets with the S&P 500 index losing about 4%.  Between Wednesday and Thursday we had an interesting dynamic play out which tied in with the break below 1130 – which I mentioned last week needed to be watched because a break below that would target 1110.  The market surpassed the…

The Next Asian (and US?) Crisis

It was not a pretty day for the longs in the markets today.  Equities fell off aggressively as the day drew to a close.  The bulls did pour in after the morning selling off, taking the S&P back to test the days high, but the buying was short lived as bulls were swarmed.  The major…

S&P Stock Analysis for Upcoming Week: Jan 11-15

The year started out strong for US stocks, breaking out above the range that had pervaded much of the last two months of the 2009.  The S&P also finished at a recent high, closing out strongly on Friday.  Volume was not great and throughout the week there were numerous examples of times when the market…

S&P Outlook Going Into the New Year

Wow, the year has come and gone, and what a year it has been.  Many day traders I know, including myself, took some time to adapt to the diversity the markets gave us this year, but ultimately if the trader managed to adapt it was a fantastic year indeed.  Opportunities abounded, and heading forward I…

S&P and Dow: Weekly Stock Market Analysis (Dec 21-Dec 24)

Overall, it was a fairly uneventful  week in terms of price action in the stock markets.  We had a lot of nice tradable moves during the week, but ultimately the market did not move into or out of any technical significant areas.  Volume was light, except for Friday which was due to index rebalancing and…

What to Expect in the Stock Market Week: Dec 14-18

The S&P 500 which is a good representation of the overall stock market is still very much range bound, and is likely to remain so until the new year.  A very quiet Friday with little volume did little to inspire confidence to the contrary. 1100 is the nearest main support level for the upcoming week,…

On the hourly chart the trendline is still rising.  We managed to reach former highs last week, but could not sustain the momentum to stay above that level.  We do have some solid levels in the upcoming week which will give good indication of where this market is going if those levels are moved through.…

Increase Profits and Cut Your Day Trading Work Load

I know many day traders who spend hours looking for the perfect stock to trade, or a stock that is poised to breakout and make them a fortune.  How is that working out???  This is an inefficient way to trade the stock market.  Moves happen everyday, in all stocks and if we know how to…

S&P Stock Market Anlaysis for Week of Nov 9-13

While the market did try to push lower, it did not get below the 1029 level (which as mentioned in last weeks post) would have indicated a strong bearish bias if the level was broken.  That level was brushed by the market but quickly retraced higher.  We have moved up and closed right at the…
