If you just look at the daily closes on the indexes, one would conclude that the market is relatively healthy and is still providing opportunities to buy. But when you look at it from other perspectives, you could draw a conclusion that is much different.

U.S. stocks rose on Thursday, underpinned by a rebound in technology shares, while renewed concerns about the economy boosted defensive stocks.

On Feb. 5, we knocked the ball out of the park with our recommendation on Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN). After getting pummeled by the worst recession since 1930, it’s heartening to see that at these valuations, and with the massive disequilibrium that’s affecting so many market sectors, we can rewarded much more than during normal times.

Over the past few weeks I’ve talked about the importance of consolidation patterns. But the thing about consolidation patterns (and practically every other pattern you’ll ever learn) is that there’s NO GUARANTEE that the pattern will follow through. That’s why it is important to set a stop-loss to protect your portfolio.

As expected, U.S. Federal Reserve policymakers slashed a benchmark interest rate yesterday (Tuesday). But they cut it by a bigger-than-expected amount, and did so in an unconventional manner.

Well we have made it to the end of another year, and this one has been quite a ride. This is the last full trading week of the year, so barring a huge rally, the Dow, NASDAQ, and S&P will all end the year with losses north of 30 percent.

After working in Silicon Valley for 15 years, I developed this theory called “The Myth of Empowerment.” While the Myth of Empowerment wasn’t intended to act as a qualitative indicator for stock picking, it turns out that it could easily be applied to the decline of Yahoo (Nasdaq:YHOO) – with the fallout inflicting damage on Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT).

In the past year, 99 companies have joined AIM, whilst 196 have left. That’s a net drop of 97. Fewer quoted companies means less fee income for the Stock Exchange. This exodus is hardly good for the reputation of the junior market. It is about time that the LSE removed its head from the sand and took this matter a bit more seriously.
Consider the story of
OCZ Technology (LON:
OZC)…
I am not a shareholder in OCZ. But I did manage to get along to a presentation for its shareholders – of which only one bothered to turn up! I wanted to know whether OCZ could make it on to the short list for my new “bounceback report” – shares that have…

Never has there been a time where the stock market has influenced the commodities markets so much.
Last time I checked, the price of soybeans, cocoa or orange juice had absolutely no relationship to whether Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), Disney (NYSE: DIS), or Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) declined in price.
But these days, we’ve got a serious blurring of the lines between global marketplaces. In addition, the prevalence and ease of electronic trading, coupled with well-capitalized hedge funds, means we’re seeing all kinds of different markets having an affect on one another.
Not so long ago, it used to be that money typically flowed from one asset class to another – for example, from stocks to commodities. But that isn’t happening now as most players have either bailed…

Stocks stage huge rally, but will it hold? Key levels to watch, and some historic perspective… Libor continues to ease; famous Wall Street CEO explains why credit still isn’t flowing… John Williams on the “true cost” of the U.S. financial crisis, with charts to prove it… Byron King with an “exploding” foreign resource market…. Plus, a stinging critique of I.O.U.S.A., and one thing you must do before voting Nov. 4.
