Stock Market traders have their own language. They use words that might confuse sotck market beginners or "newbies" that don't know the stock market investing basics yet. Stock trading lingo is almost a type of secret handshake that lets other traders know that you're a member of the club. There is a method to the madness of stock trading terminology.

The surreal life in the subsidized stock market continues. I will say in the old market activities like we are seeing now would make me so contrarian… but it’s a new paradigm. Government sponsored stocks is a whole different animal.[More...] Continue …

You hear a lot of talk these days about what could possibly stop the current stock market rally given that we’ve clearly passed the “acute” phase of the financial crisis and, quite literally, there is no place to go but up for many economic indicators. The term “statistical recovery” is bandied about quite a bit by doubters of the recent move up for equities and for many very good reasons such as the following: home prices seem to be going up when they’re probably really still going down consumers have dramatically cut back on their spending but no one seems to care current quarter GDP will print at +2 or +3 percent but it is completely[More...] Continue …

The Dow continued to move sideways today, gaining a marginal 37 points or 0.39% despite a favorable Q2 GDP revision. Fundamental Analysis The revision to Q2 GDP was widely speculated to be a negative one due to the huge rebound in the initial number. However, it was held unrevised vs the consensus of correcting down to -1.5% from -1%. Even though jobless claim was slightly higherthan consensus due to its volatile nature, it didn’t stop its 4 weeks moving average from contiuing its trend downwards. So far, every economic number has been screaming and supporting economic recovery so, where are the buyers? Technical Analysis The stock market has always been more technical biased than news biased, which is why its behavior continue to baffle amateur options traders worldwide. As I have always said, 3 to 5 days of sideways or slightly downwards days follow huge single day gains are[More...] Continue …

45% of retirees aged 55-75 have either not calculated how long their assets are anticipated to last during their retirement years or they have never given the issue any thought at all (Financial Advisor Magazine: June, 2009). This to me is a startling statistic. Almost half of the surveyed population doesn t plan for the years when they are no longer working? Is retiring one day really not on people s minds? Maybe it s not given how poorly the stock market has performed over the past decade. Even so, the time to think about retirement is well before it starts, not once you ve already decided to permanently quit the workforce. Entering retirement without a plan can put huge restrictions on your retirement lifestyle. A common mistake made by those who don t plan properly is overspending given your asset levels at the time of retirement. People don t realize that the average retiree needs about 80% of their pre-retirement income to[More...] Read More …

I have taken a lot of flack for supporting the notion that housing has bottomed. To clarify, I don’t think it is the type of bottom like you get in the stock market, where home price appreciation is right around the corner. Rather I think that the pace of declines in the housing market has peaked, and that while prices are still soft, sales have certainly picked up and overall I think the worst is over. I first started talking about this after the NAR Metro Home Sales report. Recently, we got more good news in the form of the much stronger than expected existing home sales report. And today, we get a third supporting datapoint in the July new homes sales report.[More...] Read More …

Oh yes, we have a tremendously positive stock market here. The tenor and tone is good, the volume support is ok, all looks excellent for continued rallying on an improving outlook for the global economy.[More...] Read More …
