Rick Pendergraft: The past year’s market has been a tough one for long-term investors. We saw the S&P 500 locked in a trading range from mid-November through mid-July with 1,250 serving as the low and 1,350 as the top. Read more…
Chris Ciovacco: As we noted on November 1, a rally back toward 1,250 is well within bear market bounds. How we rally (volume, conviction, etc.) will tell us quite a bit about the odds of a more lasting upside move in stocks. We also outlined in a recent video reasons why the improvement in market breadth does Read more…
J.W. Jones: Writing about financial markets is probably the most challenging endeavor I have ever immersed myself into. I am a trader first and a writer second, but I have really come to enjoy scribing missives about financial markets because it really forces me to concentrate on my analysis. Read more…
George Maniere: Above my desk I have a big sign that says “the market will always do what the market has always done, misdirect, confuse and confound.” The way the S&P has been behaving since August is proof perfect that this slogan is as true as ever. Read more…
Chris Ciovacco: On October 20, we outlined several divergences and hurdles for the stock market to overcome. Since silver has more real world uses than gold (NYSE:GLD), silver tends to be a good economic barometer, similar to copper. As we have mentioned in the past, silver tends to be in greater demand Read more…
David Banister: Back on October 3rd I wrote a public article forecasting a major market bottom at around 1088 on the SP 500 index (NYSE:SPY). I surmised we were about to complete a 5 wave move to the downside that commenced with the Bin Laden highs of 1370 in early May of this year. The following Read more…
George Maniere: Several weeks ago, for the second time, I called for a buy of SPXU too early. The Pro Shares Ultra Pro Short S&P 500 (NYSE:SPXU) seeks a triple leverage or 300% return on the inverse performance of the S&P 500. Conversely, Pro Shares Ultra Pro S&P 500 (NYSE:UPRO) is a triple leveraged Read more…
Brian Sylvester: Steve Palmer, founder and chief executive of the Toronto-based investment manager AlphaNorth Asset Management, prefers metals that have uses beyond sitting in a basement safe Read more…

J.W. Jones: The past few months have been very difficult to navigate for retail investors and institutional money managers. The huge week to week price swings and increased volatility have made Read more…
Joseph Shaefer: I come from good peasant stock. My grandparents lost the farm in Kansas during the Depression and migrated to California, but as rural folk they kept chickens (and rabbits in pens) around the yard back in the days before a we-know-best California government would have fined them for keeping Read more…
Toby Connor: The 75 week moving average has been a very clear dividing line between bull and bear markets for the last couple of decades. Read more…
George Maniere: Several weeks ago I called for a buy of SPXU. The Pro Shares Ultra Pro Short S&P 500 (NYSE:SPXU) seeks a triple leverage or 300% return on the inverse performance of the S&P 500. Conversely, Pro Shares Ultra Pro S&P 500 (NYSE:UPRO) is a triple leveraged fund that seeks a 300% return Read more…
Thomas Carreno: The S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) in the recent several days has staged a large rally. Friday’s move was more of a consolidation doji and in my view was constructive relative to previous moves at channel resistance. Read more…
J.W. Jones: The S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) must have taken notice of the multitude of headlines coming at market participants and proceeded on a path of pure chaos. Since October 4th, the S&P 500 Index (SPX) Read more…
