Filed under: ETF Investing, Technical Analysis, Stocks to Buy  The S&P 500 is up almost 25% from its March 6 low, and is knocking on the door of the widest and deepest resistance zone in the bear market at S&P 820 to 920.
Yesterday, we discussed the analysis done by Mark Arbeter of Standard & Poor's. Mark concluded that the market is due for a pause and then a "decent advance" before we see another correction. He ended his report with, "We would use any strength in the stock market to lighten up and then wait for the next bottom to develop before adding to positions." <>His analysis is impressiv...

With no signs of relief from the latest round of the ongoing financial crisis and global equity market meltdown this week, the accompanying five-day chart highlights a stock and some funds registering impressive gains in the face of massive losses in former blue chips and mega-cap stocks such as AIG. Thanks to the biggest one-day gain ever for gold today, SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) lead the gainers with an advance exceeding 15% over the last five days. As investors flee to traditional safe havens such as U.S. Treasury Bon...

<> The accompanying three-month chart illustrates a steadily strengthening US Dollar (UUP) along with a broad-based meltdown in the prices of commodities. The U.S. Oil (USO) and Natural Gas (UNG) Funds are down over 20% and 40%, respectively, while SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) and PowerShares DB Agricultural Commodities (DBA) are both down over 10% in the last three months. The correction in commodities reflects concerns over a global economic slowdown, a strengthening U.S. Dollar (with the Euro slipping below the $1.40 mark), and a drastic run-up in...

Everyone is loading up on PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP), betting on a strengthening dollar. Even Helicopter Ben can't seem to keep UUP down.
<><>One explanation for this rally is recent dollar intervention and changes in the U.S. International Reserve Position. The U.S. Treasury website recently reported that the Exchange Stabilization Fund sold 10 billion euros and bought dollars, a move that certainly strengthened one currency against the other. It is difficult to claim that measures like this could sustain a dollar rally—the foreign exchange market is the largest in the <><><><><><><><><>...

Despite hints by the Federal Reserve yesterday that they will not be raising interest rates in the near future, the US Dollar is displaying strength on concerns over a global economic slow down and easing inflationary concerns on the back of falling commodity prices such as oil and gold. The US Dollar has reached seven-week highs against the Euro and Yen today thanks to a widespread correction in commodity prices and concerns over slowing economic growth in Europe which may put an end to the European Cantral Bank's hawkish stance on rates. ...

I'm putting the dollar on sell until Fed Bernanke can prove he's brave enough to face the facts, and make America great again. Oh boy... if the rest of the world gets it, why don't we? We need to raise rates to avoid a Japan. Who cares if people who were meant to rent in the first place lose their homes? Let 'em. So we have a housing market slow down, and we go back to square one. BIG DEAL. The whole world experienced a housing boom. I'd rather go back to square one right now, than slooooooooooooooooooooooooowly get dragged back. <> Why does the rest of the p...

Morning Perspective: China Slowdown?/ Minyanville
FT reports the World Bank cut its forecast for China’s growth from 10.8% to 9.6%. The bank lowered its forecast from the previous figure originally released last September due to expectations of a weakening global outlook and decelerating exports. The World Bank added, however, that the Chinese economy is well-positioned to weather any effects of a global slowdown due to its strong domestic economy and the government’s relatively stable financial position.

Although I am long term bearish the Greenback, a secular bear market has its upturns (see the DOW and the S&P for further explanation). Many people much smarter than I have been itching for a chance to go long for quite some time, as the ultimate contrarian play. Well, the time is now. I have posted a chart of the Dollar and Euro here to show how the Alligator Jaws are about to shut on both. You can view this chart here.
Today the Dollar fell to new lows against the Euro (a currency backed 25% by Gold), and while the Euro/Dollar and Cable (Pound/Dollar) have been very...
