How long will this rally last?

February 20, 2012 by Patrick See
(Posted on Monday 1am) The US equity market or in any stock market, as usual, is ahead of the (US) economy. When US stock/indices start to rise in October 2011, the US data started to improve, right? Most of the US data had been pretty good so far, with the latest being, the Non Farm [...]

Weekly Comment on the US and SG market (19/02/2012)

February 19, 2012 by The SG Investor
US Unemployment Rate and the Presidential Election Last week, the market was still in a jitter as news reported Greece’s bailout remained a doubt. DJIA has run up quite a bit since the last Oct. However, not everybody managed to get on the ride. I believe some, if not many, funds were somewhat caught off guard. [...]

Dow’s Rise is Healthy

February 17, 2012 by healthytrader
Last night, Dow posted a +123 points rise, outstripping the previous day’s horrific slaughter of the market. Horrific because it was the first time Dow lost more than 100 points in a day in this year. But it is back above those levels again. I decided to look at its weekly chart to have a better [...]

Retail Sales fail to deliver

February 14, 2012 by Patrick See
(Posted in Singapore 730pm Tuesday)(Updated in S’pore 0040am Wednesday) Retail Sales data from the US failed to impress. It rose (0.4%) less than (0.7%) expected in January. Getting deep into the data, prior months (retail sales and ex auto data) were revised downwards! On the other side of the Atlantic, Europe’s bond auction, results in strong [...]

Greece passes austerity package, so what?

February 13, 2012 by Patrick See
(Posted Singapore Monday, 825 a.m.) Avoid Greece if you’re travelling to Europe. That’s the not so good news. The other is that the Japan Q4 real GDP is -0.6 (-2.3% YOY), that is not much better off than consensus -0.4%. There’s another Asian country on a negative QoQ GDP growth! So far, the good news [...]

Weekly Comment on the US and SG market (12/02/2012)

February 12, 2012 by The SG Investor
Greece’s Comeback or Profit Take? In my last article I wrote that if DJIA broke above the last May high of 12,875 pts I would write another article on it, so here I go… When DJIA first broke this level, it closed at 12,878 and for the next 2 days, it closed at 12,884 and [...]

Dr Doom Nouriel Roubini is bullish!

February 8, 2012 by Drizzt
This could be the ultimate contrarian indicator but when one of the most depressing market watch says this bull has a few months of legs to run, do you listen? From CNBC.com: “We’re a believer; we’re celebrating. We think the rally has legs,” explains Gina Sanchez, Roubini’s director of equity and allocation strategy. (She is [...]

February 8, 2012 by Sgbluechip
1)Local market STI increased approximately 11% year to date, 17% from Oct 2011 lows. There were similar returns across regional markets. US markets increase at a lower rate, roughly about 7% YTD. 2)The reasons contributing to the buoyant stock markets have little to do with market fundamentals. It is the consequent of central banks printing [...]

Did you know?

February 8, 2012 by Patrick See
Despite the events in Greece and Portugal, US and European markets are climbing. The DOW is testing 2008 resistance while the Nasdaq is testing the resistance before the internet bubble. All the above IS bullish. In intermarket analysis, I tend to take note of all sorts of data as many as possible? Are the following [...]

Weekly Comment on the US and SG market (07/02/2012)

DJIA Unable To Break Last May High; Eyes On Ben Bernanke About 2 weeks ago, I wrote that DJIA had faced a pretty strong resistance at around 12,500-12,550 level but the DJIA had surpassed that level with ease. Currently it is trading at 12,792 pts which is near last May high but have not managed [...]

What does Better (Global PMI + US payroll data) equates to?

February 6, 2012 by Patrick See
(Posted Monday 250am) The equation,   Better (Global PMI + US paroll data) = RISK ON! As you probably know, PMI data coming from US, China, UK, etc has been better than expected. Global equity markets extended their weekly climb with the exception for Mexico, Australia, KL and Japan, just to name a few. Some of [...]

Economics 2012: Off the top of my head.

February 4, 2012 by AK71
I have been doing more thinking. OK, so what’s new? In recent weeks, the stock markets rallied and with the strong closing on Wall Street last night, they look like they could move even higher next week. The bulls say that the tide has turned and things are moving higher from here and that we [...]

Golden cross in S&P? Should we chase the market?

February 2, 2012 by Patrick See
(Posted Singapore time, Thursday 120 am) As you probably know, the S&P is forming a Golden Cross lately. This is where the 50 days moving average passes through (up) the 200 days moving average. To most technicians, it would be a bullish signal for the US markets! Or is the S&P forming a doji? The [...]

I like to be proven wrong sometimes…

January 30, 2012 by Patrick See
Year 2011 was a very volatile year. Topping in Q2 2011 and then falling in Q3. Global equity markets reversed in 2011 Oct and kept on climbing. That’s when I started to speculate that we’re out of the bear market. Though the market was volatile, I mentioned the markets were trending North despite the volatility. [...]

January 30, 2012 by The SG Investor
DJIA Performs Above Expectations DJIA has seen to make a run since last Nov. In fact, it has exceed my expectation to actually attemp last May high. Throughout this period, there were many news talking about how unstable the EU zone is and that Greece had given too many false hopes that it won’t default. [...]
