The government manipulates those markets.” today offered a lesson exactly how much good manipulation does. I doubt not that the Nice Government Men saw their opportunity after yesterday’s FOMC statement to catch a bunch of people short stocks and the Plunge Protection Team dove in. They did, and the Dow ended up 429.92, 3.98%. Wow. And today the Dow lost 519.83 or 4.62% to close at 10,719.94. S&P500 did no better, losing 51.77 (4.4%) to 1,120.76. ‘Tis possible to manipulate markets, but only at the margin and only for a short time. Otherwise, markets are simply too big to be forced against their primary trend. The trend will always wreak its vengeance. Stocks have now reached support that stretches back to January 2010. The area from 9600 to 10,700 might stop the fall, but then again, it might not. This is the last train out for anyone holding stocks. You sell now, or watch them wither gruesomely over the next 5 years. Stocks: they are the Vitamin D of Investment Vitamins, and the D stands for “deficiency.” US DOLLAR INDEX caught today, rose 3 silly basis points to 74.635. Euro fell 1.36% to 1.4175, while for no apparent cause today a couple of rating agencies declared that France’s credit rating was still AAA. Soooo, why did you need to tell us that nothing had changed, unless somebody is suspecting that something has changed? Yen rose today to 130.10c/Y100 (Y76.8/$). The Gold Price rose 2.4% today, up $41.30 to $1,781.30. In the aftermarket it has risen another $20 to $1,801. Yep, it’s in a parabolic rise, and, yep, no telling where it will stop. Nothing in today’s chart even hints that gold’s about to call a halt. It wants to go higher tomorrow. The Silver Price climbed up off yesterday 3700c bottom and never looked back. Should also climb again tomorrow. Lost 149.7c yesterday, gained 144.8c today to close Comex at 3932.5. Maybe, maybe Friday’s 3750c and yesterdays 3700c formed a double bottom? To me silver appears to have more downside. Hard above at 3970c lies its 20 day moving average. How will it act there tomorrow? The Silver Price has done nothing to gainsay or negate the downtrend begun five days ago, and must climb above 4229c to do so. The economy and monetary system has reached a new stage of decay where its condition deteriorates faster and faster. Not world wide panic yet, but daily unthinkable milestones whiz by and are left behind: Greece defaults, US debt ceiling crisis, US debt downgrade, gold passes $1,700 then $1,800, stock market falls 500+ points a day. Oh, this will ease off, but the decay has ratcheted to a higher, faster level. Y’all ought to remember that for a long time you can see bad things coming on the horizon, but they seem to linger there. Oh, you know they’re coming, but you’ve got plenty of time. Then one day the fellow in the high-top boots and peaked cap comes to arrest YOU. As I said, only way I know to stay out of bar fights is to leave the bar before the fights start.

dow2664 Stocks sunk lower once again today. It has been a choppy roller coaster ride this week in the marketplace as trends have traveled through peaks and valleys. Stocks were on the mend yesterday after the Feds announced news that they would keep interest rates at relative lows through 2013. The major indices responded positively and investors on Wall Street breathed a sigh of relief. The DJIA dropped over 600 points on Monday only to rebound by over 400 yesterday. Today, negative trending has taken hold once again. Investor worries relate primarily to the recent credit downgrade the U.S. received as well as the continuation of debt problems in Europe. Today, the Dow dropped significantly again and at one point was off by almost 500 points. Yesterday seems more like an anomaly at this point. The central bank’s assessment of the U.S. economic recovery is that it will remain slow for the next couple years. The negative action today is the processing of this information in tangible form. Gold however is pushing to all time highs. Gold prices surpassed 1800 dollars per troy ounce today as the safe haven metal is attracting tons of attention lately. As close approached for the day, the DJIA was off by over 325 points and gold was climbing the ladder. Gold contract for December delivery was higher by 2.60 percent at 1788.30 per troy ounce.

5 VIX Funds for Fear-Riddled Markets

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

tdp2664 InvestorPlace No matter which side of the debt-ceiling debate you fall on, looking at the facts may be shocking. This is the first and only downgrade of U.S. debt in history, which is what likely prompted such a massive sell-off on Monday (August 8). In fact, the sell-off was one of the worst in recent memory, as the S&P 500 sank nearly 6.7% while the Nasdaq was flirting with losses of 7%. Needless to say, the past few trading sessions have seen some of the most volatile markets imaginable, as securities have endured something of a roller coaster ride. With markets in a frenzy, volatility exchange-traded notes (ETNs) and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been in high demand by investors and traders alike. This is because these vehicles offer exposure to the theoretical "fear" index known as the Volatility Index (CBOE: VIX ), allowing investors to directly invest in market volatility. Prior to the advent of ETFs, access to this market was limited, but now there is a wealth of options available to the average, everyday investor. With volatility ETFs sitting in the limelight, we outline five popular funds and how they have fared in the past few days of severe market instability. S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (NYSE: VXX ) VXX is by far the most popular volatility ETN, as it tracks short-term VIX futures. On Monday, the fund experienced an astonishing volume of 102 million shares traded, as compared to its average daily volume of just 31 million. Last Thursday, during our first major sell-off, VXX jumped 20% along with shooting up nearly 15% on Monday. Bear in mind, however, that this product is still down over 40% for 2011. Daily Inverse VIX Short-Term ETN (NYSE: XIV ) This ETN is simply the inverse counterpart to VXX and has turned in quite a different performance over the past few days. XIV had been one of the top performing exchange-traded products (ETPs) of 2011 until recent weeks, which saw shattering trading sessions, with a one-week return of -26.7%, pushing the fund down to a year-to-date (YTD) return of -2%. Thursday saw XIV plummet by 19.4%, and Monday produced losses of 14.6%, while its average volume was increased six-fold during Monday's session. C-Tracks ETN Citi Volatility Index Total Return (NYSE: CVOL ) CVOL treats volatility a bit differently, as it tracks implied volatility. So far in 2011, this product is down an abysmal 38.8%, but for traders patient enough to wait it out, this ETF has provided unprecedented returns in recent days. Aside from its gains of 33.4% on Monday, its four-week return comes in at 81.8%, differentiating itself from VXX and possibly making for an intriguing alternative in the volatility space. S&P 500 VIX Mid-Term Futures ETN (NYSE: VXZ ) VXZ comes from a similar family as VXX, though it tracks mid-term futures as opposed to short-term, giving it a very different risk/return spectrum. This ETF brings in tamer returns, as it "only" jumped 8.4% on Monday. However, the fund also has a much better longer-term performance: VXZ is down 18% on the year but is up 13.6% over the past four weeks. This fund is less popular than its fellow volatility products, as it averages about 850,000 shares exchanged daily, making it less liquid than the major players like VXX and XIV, but possibly a fund that is less impacted by adverse conditions such as "contango." Daily 2x VIX Short-Term ETN (NYSE: TVIX ) As if measuring volatility was not enough, TVIX puts 2x leverage on short-term VIX contracts, making it one of the most volatile ETFs available on the entire market. On Thursday, this fund shot up 40% and has posted a jaw-dropping return of 105% over the last two weeks, making TVIX the official volatility winner for the last few dismal trading sessions and a potential favorite for investors seeking to bet on further volatility.

tdp2664 Penny Stock Live What a day! Let’s keep our eye on futures because one thing is for certain, there is a lot of money to be made when this market turns. Today I tried to position adding SIRI, CBOU and more BAC when the market started to rally from down 400 to down 180 but clearly I jumped in too soon. Here are my thoughts about the stocks seen in my portfolio – keep in mind it’s on a 20 minute delay and won’t use AH or PM information. GLUU was rocking and rolling until the market got slammed and then it dropped. I feel good about my position and will hold GLUU without consideration unless it breaks $3.00 at which point it’ll get my attention. Long term hold. OXGN was sent out as a ‘daytrade’ only with a stop of $1.55. I kept my shares because I had a tiny position. I just added 1k shares at $1.30 after the posted earnings AH. I was bidding another 1k at $1.10 but there weren’t enough panic traders to sell me shares down there. Very little response to earnings tells me this is what everyone expected. The bid was as low as $1.10 but now it’s at $1.32 and I’d imagine it’ll be higher than that tomorrow due to the tiny AH volume. Short term hold. Still waiting for GRHU to pick up and I’m feeling good about my position at $.81. This stock has a tiny market cap under $20 million and can fly when it gets volume, hopefully this is support. Short term hold. BAC is a mess, plain and simple but I think this one is capable of paying big over the long term which is why I’ve loaded up. I don’t plan on letting it get out of control but if this is support I’ve picked a pretty good average. When the market turns I think we’ll see a lot of buyers in this space so I’m gunning for $1-2 per share to make up my loss on BERX. Long term hold. Despite the markets getting hammered, CBOU has remained toppy. This tells me there aren’t many sellers scared at these levels so I jumped in today long. I’ll keep a tight leash on CBOU because it does have a tiny market cap and I don’t want to see it fall apart on me. The breakout key was $16.25 today and it was able to do that so provided it climbs I’ll gun for $20 on this one. Long term hold. SIRI is SIRI! I think $1.70 is support barring a market meltdown so my goal is $2 – $2.25 on this one long term and possibly more depending on the situation. I’ve wanted a sizable position in SIRI a number of times in the $1.70′s and missed it, I wasn’t about to let a cupcake trade get away from me again.

How to Trade Fear and Uncertainty

We are experiencing three events that have fed each other, and this interaction
has turned each event into a crisis. And while each crisis is contributing to
uncertainty and sharp market declines in their own way, they have one thing in
common: They are underpinning fear and uncertainty. Europe: The European debt
crisis is going to last a long time, but daily changes in the European bond
markets and daily conclusions by analysts who can do second-grade math
understand that Europe does isn't undergoing a liquidity crisis that is
manageable, but rather a solvency crisis that is not. Europe's crisis has made
a three-fold contribution to the market selloff – headlines on political
decisiveness triggering selling, margin calls on bondholders triggering selling,
and math that says this is going to last a long time, keeping buyers out of the
market. The U.S. Debt Crisis: The political theater leading up to the fake debt
crisis solution now on the table led to the downgrade of U.S. debt by S&P, and
this, in turn, served as a trigger for the market's big selloff. The decline
itself may accelerate the ultimately fruitless discussion about fixing the
deficit and debt issue and that will lead (maybe) to automatic spending cuts and
the messiest presidential election in memory. So Uncle Sam's politicians have
contributed three things to the crisis: the short-term trigger of the debt
downgrade; six months of uncertainty with a messy political debate; and a year
or more, depending on who wins, of more uncertainty about fiscal and tax policy.
The Double-Dip Recession: I have been predicting a double dip since I thought
the official end of the last recession was only on paper. We are essentially in
one now forget the statistics that will be revised anyway. Roughly one in four
Americans would work or would work more if there was a job available. At the
current rate of defaults and foreclosures, it will take another five or six
years to clear the housing mess, stabilize prices and kick off a material
increase in home building. Fiscal stimulus is ending and we are entering a
period of contraction at all levels of government. And the growing certainty
about a double dip is keeping many investors out of the market and chasing
others away at the same time, as they're uncertain about the impact of a
slowdown on corporate profits and market multiples. What do these three crises
have in common? Where do they intersect? Fear and uncertainty – and that is
the trade of the day, the week, the month, the quarter and perhaps all of 2012.
How to play uncertainty and fear You do it the old-fashioned way – precious
metals. I am in gold, silver and cash. Oh, and the gold miners. The ETFs here
are SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD ), the iShares Silver Trust (NYSE: SLV ), and
the Market Vectors Gold Miners (NYSE: GDX ). I have been recommending this for
subscribers for a long time. And there are two ways to play it. If you want to
protect capital – always my priority – and want consistent returns, either
buy the ETFs and sell covered calls or sell puts. If you want to speculate, you
buy those calls. I do both – I have pots of capital for each focus, monthly
cash and income or speculation. When does this trade end? The inflation adjusted
previous high for gold is roughly $2.400 – a 30% increase from here. The
miners will follow as will silver. If these numbers don't do it for you, ask
yourself the question: Does the next week, month quarter and year look more or
less uncertain than the past week, month quarter or year? The answer says it
all.

gainsay or negate the downtrend begun five days ago, and must climb above 4229c

tdp2664 Penny Stock Live What a wild ride yesterday. I made so many good moves but just as many mistakes. That was one of the most volatile sessions I’ve seen in a while and I got caught going the wrong direction several times. The market literally shifted green/red and red/green so fast it would have been easier just to be cash in that situation. I wasn’t able to send a few of the alerts because I was closing them just about as fast as they were opened. This is a new feature I spent the evening working on and I’ll use it to show you my live positions and eventually a watch list too. It’s not fully done but it’s ready to share. As a result of working on this all night, no new watch list today but much of yesterday’s if not all still applies. http://www.pennystocklive.com/portfolio So this section of the website is where I’ll talk about the stocks I’m in, but it’ll no longer display share size etc… because the portfolio does a better job of that. Eventually I’ll add a forum for us too. With futures heading down, it looks like BAC will be red to start Wednesday. I sold my position PM last night to lock in gains but added right at 7:59pm EST banking on a gap and run. Shares hit $7.78 this morning but they’ve been selling down since. I made over $2k on the trade yesterday so that will be my stop on these shares which is right around $7.34. Still just trying to get rid of BERX but there is no volume, hoping to see a bounce I can sell into. Again this is a failed trade and I’m the bag holder. Letting OXGN ride here, not sure if they’ll announce their earnings PM but I’m prepared to sell as soon as I see them. Profit if they are good and loss if they aren’t. Small position so I’m okay with the gamble here. If they announce after the close maybe we’ll get more runup today. Still waiting for GRHU to move up and I’d like to see $1 per share on that trade. GLUU has been a roller coaster but I’m thinking we’re locked in a good price so let it ride. Of course if the market tanks I’ll need to bail but I’m feeling pretty good so long as it trades above $3.10.

dow2664 The DJIA rebounded alongside the Nasdaq and S&P 500 last trading session. Monday of this week began dramatically as stocks sold off and the primary stock indices in the U.S. dropped significantly lower. Investor worries on Wall Street related primarily to the recent credit downgrade levied to the United States government and worries also ruminated regarding the eurozone debt issues. These factors caused panic in the marketplace and index trends crashed. Tuesday, the rebound effect set in and comeback gains were made. The Dow Jones picked up over 400 points this day after losing over 600 the previous session. On Tuesday, the Federal Reserve pledged to keep interest rates lower through 2013. Investors were hoping to hear more regarding additional economic stimulus, but the words relevant to lower interest rates were enough to push stocks higher up the ladder. The primary indices in the U.S. finished green across the board last session. Stocks finished with huge gains as well after the Fed comments regarding interest rates spread. One company however that did not feel the good tidings was Ford Motor company. Ford finished lower on the NYSE by .64 percent at 10.84. Previous close for the company was 10.91 with the 52 week high coming in at 18.97 and the 52 week low posting at 9.87. Frank Matto

Don’t Let the Late Market Rally Fool You

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

tdp2664 InvestorPlace Finally — a rally worthy of the name. Things were looking pretty bleak on Wall Street after the Federal Reserve issued its policy-meeting news release at 2:15 p.m. yesterday. A sharply divided Fed, citing slower than expected economic growth and a deteriorating labor market, pledged to keep overnight interest rates at zero to 0.25% “at least through mid-2013.” Stocks plunged to new lows for the year as traders absorbed the gloomy language of the central bank’s communiqué. But then, about a half-hour after the Fed story broke, a minor miracle occurred. A handful of short sellers apparently decided enough was enough, and they started buying stocks to cover their short positions. Like the panic selling previously, the short covering fed on itself, driving share prices higher. The Dow closed up 430 points, with the more representative S&P 500 index posting an even bigger percentage gain (4.7%). Does the surge mean we’re out of the woods? Hardly. Dramatic “snapback” rallies have punctuated just about every market collapse of the past 75 years. Sometimes, the rebound occurs right at the final low. More often, though, the rally burns out after a few weeks or even just a few days. Then the indexes drift back down to form a deeper, more solid bottom. Given the likelihood that prices will eventually pull back again to the vicinity of today’s lows, I advise you to hold off (for now) on most new purchases of stocks or equity mutual funds. Indeed, there’s a good chance I may recommend some hedging vehicles, such as inverse ETFs ( ProShares UltraShort QQQ NYSE: QID , ProShares UltraShort S&P500 NYSE: SDS ), if the rally begins to run out of steam.

THE BOTTOM HAPPENED? The worst thing happened over the weekend. I was walking
through the living room carrying my crystal ball, hit a wrinkle in the rug,
tripped, dropped it, and it smashed into a thousand pieces. Thus am I driven
back on facts and reasoning, unable any longer to read the future. The Gold
Price faked out everybody and on Comex added $30 to end at $1,512.30, quite a
rise from Friday's $1,482.30. That scales $1,510 resistance and brings it to the
10 day moving average (1,512.38). But is that the turnaround? I don't know, I'm
just a natural born fool from Tennessee. The Gold Price re-bounded off lateral
resistance from a May low at $1,486.50. This move started about 4 a.m. Eastern
time when silver worked through $1,495. It steadily climbed after that, dropping
a bit on the NY open ($1,497.59) but quickly recovering. In the aftermarket it's
trading nearly as high as the $1,518 resistance. Today's high was $1,516.40, low
was $1,493. I don't know if we have seen the bottom or not, so if you're worn
out with waiting, go ahead and buy. However, I tried to explain a few days ago
what I am looking for. If this is it, 'twill look like this: 1. The Gold Price
might trade a little higher, then begins to fall. 2. Falls to some price above
$1,482.60 (Friday's low), then refuses to fall further. 3. The Gold Price begins
to rise. That's the time to buy. Of course, gold might not unfold that way.
Mayhap it make a spike bottom and won't revisit those lower prices. Just have to
wait and see. If it slips lower than $1,482.60, then hold off because lower
prices will come, maybe the 200 DMA ($1,417) A Gold Price close above $1,530
soon would confirm that we will not see lower prices. One way or the other, we
ought to see a bottom soon, perhaps this week but surely by end-July. The Silver
Price behaved much like the Gold Price, beginning its climb from 3420c and
reaching a high of 3566c. I understand that rising 170.8c in one day to close at
3540.2c deserves respect, but that only brought the Silver Price back up to its
20 DMA (3547c). If the Silver Price can close above its last high, 3675c, it
will probably be telling us it has bottomed. Last week's 3359c low touched the
lateral support. Maybe that was all the penance silver needed to do. But I
prefer to apply the same tactics to silver: 1. Wait for it to fall, 2. If it
falls to some price above 3360c and then refuses to fall further, then 3. Silver
begins to rise, Buy it. If it closes below 3360c, it will drop to the 200 dma
(3178c). All of this ASSUMES silver does not close above 3675c, which would
gainsay this tactic and command us to buy at whatever price the market is
trading at. Bottom's getting close. I may be a pure fool for waiting, but I am
trying to learn patience. STOCKS today have that raggedy look they get when
they've run out of steam. Up, down, up down, no progress. Surprise, surprise,
last week's rally occurred on light volume, so most of it can probably be laid
at the feet of the Nice Government Men and their Plunge Protection Team. Stocks
had risen 5 days running, so a one day fall doesn't say much really. 12,600 has
become the blocking resistance. If the Dow can clear that, it will hit 12,875.
Today the Dow closed down 12.9 points at 12,569.87. S&P500 followed right along,
down 1.79 points to 1,337.88. When I was a kid my mother always told me to stay
away from mouse traps. You can imagine how much good it did to tell a little boy
to stay away from something with springs, wire, and a sudden explosion of noise
and movement. But I learned through my pigheadedness that playing with a
mousetrap inevitably results in the bail snapping down sharply on the player's
finger. Always. STOCKS -- the mousetrap in the Investment Toy Box. The US DOLLAR
INDEX today rose 38.4 basis points (+0.49%) to 74.659. In other words, it
trampolined off the uptrend line rising from the 72.93 May low, confirming that
uptrend. In the process it also rose above its 50 and 20 day moving averages.
Dollar will move higher immediately. Euro lost 0.70% today to close 1.4422. Yen
also gave up and fell to Y80.74/$ (123.85c/Y100). Dollar will move higher.

The DJIA rebounded alongside the Nasdaq and S&P 500 last trading session.
Monday of this week began dramatically as stocks sold off and the primary stock
indices in the U.S. dropped significantly lower. Investor worries on Wall Street
related primarily to the recent credit downgrade levied to the United States
government and worries also ruminated regarding the eurozone debt issues. These
factors caused panic in the marketplace and index trends crashed. Tuesday, the
rebound effect set in and comeback gains were made. The Dow Jones picked up over
400 points this day after losing over 600 the previous session. On Tuesday, the
Federal Reserve pledged to keep interest rates lower through 2013. Investors
were hoping to hear more regarding additional economic stimulus, but the words
relevant to lower interest rates were enough to push stocks higher up the
ladder. The primary indices in the U.S. finished green across the board last
session. Stocks finished with huge gains as well after the Fed comments
regarding interest rates spread. One company however that did not feel the good
tidings was Ford Motor company. Ford finished lower on the NYSE by .64 percent
at 10.84. Previous close for the company was 10.91 with the 52 week high coming
in at 18.97 and the 52 week low posting at 9.87. Frank Matto

Google MSN Stock Quotes DJIA Index DJX DJI Review; Stock Market Today GOOG Investing News MidDay

The stock market continues along a volatile path. Investors on Wall Street have
observed the DJIA hit significant lows this week, only to rebound and then drop
lower once again. Confidence boosted higher yesterday after the Feds issued
statement pertaining to interest rates. The Feds reported that interest rates
would be kept very low through 2013 to help support the U.S. economy. Many were
hoping for more to stimulate the economy from the Feds but nothing more was
provided. Still, the U.S. market place felt a wave of confidence and this helped
boost indices higher on the day. Today however, trends are traveling in negative
territory. As the mid-day point in the trading session approached today, the
three primary stock index composites in the U.S. are posting red. The Dow Jones
is negative by 3.87 percent or 435.07 points at 10,804.70. European markets are
in the red as well and fear is spilling over. The fear is supporting the loss of
yesterdays rally and individual corporations are feeling the heat. Google stock
is currently lower by 2.91 percent at 556.74. Previous close for GOOG was 573.41
and so far this year, Google is down 6.29 percent according to MSN stock quotes.
The trend line for the day is currently negative. Frank Matto

0.339 or 0.5% With SILVER and GOLD we stand in great peril of misunderstanding
either way: discounting a real rally, or crediting a spurious one. The Gold
Price bettered yesterday's performance by rising $16.40 to $1,528.70, not quite
closing thru that definitive $1,530 mark, but clearing $1,525. Sometimes those
resistance/support areas don't lie exactly where you think. On gold's side for a
breakout, it has traded clean through the 20 and 50 DMAs ($1,522.17 and
$1,520.28). It did push as high as $1,533.60, and defended $1,510 handily at
$1,509.90. Chances are, today exhausted for the nonce gold's upward energy.
Unless it punches thru $1,533.60 tomorrow, expect it to rest between $1,518 and
$1,530 a day or two. Proof the past two days were merely an anomalous
short-covering rally comes with any close below $1,500. Otherwise we are faced
with the conclusion that gold has already finally bottomed on Tuesday at
$1,482.30. The Silver Price gobbled up another 50.9c and ran as high as 3625c
but couldn't hold those heights. Comex closed at 3591.1c. Close, but no cigar,
and in my mind that 3600c mark carries lots of weight. Silver remains above its
20 DMA (3541c). This is the part of this job I dislike, not because I dislike
making decisions but merely because they seem so momentous at the time, but are
in truth minute. Do we buy silver at 3600c or 3300c, an 8.3% difference? Will
that little difference really engage your attention at all when the Silver Price
trades at US$106.50? Right, if 3304c was the low, then a reasonable target is
10650c. Yes, the 8.3% is important, but in the long run it won't be the
difference between blood plasma and Gatorade, just between one teaspoon of sugar
in your tea and one and a quarter. Right now silver only needs to hold above
3550c, and can drop at most to 3360c. Buy all you can on any retreat. I'm tired
of waiting. I haven't totally shaken the hope we will see the 200 DMA (not
3186c) but that hope grows as dim as one of those blamed fluorescent light bulbs
the government is now stuffing down our throats. Silver and Gold Prices remain
in a long term bull market. Forget the fluctuations, the only strategy in a bull
market is to buy, and then buy more, never looking back. On Friday the Dow in
Gold dollars shot above the 200 DMA to G$175.48 (8.489 oz). The last two days
the DiG$ has filled that gap up and collapsed nearly to the 50 DMA G$168.268
(8.14), closing today at G$170.59 (8.252). What does all that mean? That stocks
have shot their bolt against gold. Today the Dow and S&P500 contradicted each
other. Dow rose 45.41 (0.36%) to 12,615.28 in ragged trading but the SYP500,
likewise ragged, closed 1,337.56, down 0.32. Dow remains broken out above the
downtrend line, so you have to count the trend still in force as long as it
hasn't been contradicted. Nonetheless, I have no more desire to own stocks than
I have to contract elephantiasis. Oh, what mourning, weeping, and gnashing of
teeth await stock investors! US DOLLAR INDEX keeps on ratcheting up, step by
step. Today it crossed through 7470 and jumped over 75, and not tradeth at
75.025, up 33.9 basis points (0.44%). Some horizontal resistance awaits at 75.75
- 76, but inertia favours the dollar. It is trading above its 20 and 50 DMAs.
May make slow progress, but will keep on progressing upward. Euro and yen showed
no cards today. All the euro's recent rallying only traced out a confirmation of
the downtrend. Euro closed today 1.4317, down 0.74%. Yen closed Y80.95/$
(123.54c/Y100). All quiet there. Argentum et aurum comparenda sunt -- -- Gold
and silver must be bought. - Franklin Sanders, The Moneychanger

Was Yesterday’s Low Really the Bottom?

Did the market make a real bottom or just another low yesterday? We might have
expected a rebound following a day when the Dow Jones Industrial Average was
smacked with the sixth worse decline in its history on a huge imbalance of
downside volume.

DJIA Dow Jones Index DJX DJI Todays Stock Market News Nasdaq S&P 500 Close Review Investing Finance Open Data

It was a choppy sea-saw day for the major stock market index composites
yesterday. The day started off positively with futures positioned in positive
territory. Trends for stocks moved in on positive ground during the initial half
of the trading session as investors made optimistic assumptions regarding what
the Feds might do with respect to economic stimulation. The negative onslaught
that stocks suffered on Monday appears now to be more of a knee jerk reaction to
the recent credit downgrade that the U.S. endured. Investors, however, felt more
adamant that the Feds would decide to provide further quantitative easing in
light of the negative action that transpired for stocks on Monday in the U.S.
This did not happen and stock indices faltered as word spread relevant to the
Fed policy statements. The rebound regained footing though and the primary stock
composites ended their respective sessions green. The DJIA, Nasdaq and S&P 500
closed out the last session on positive ground for the day. Specifically, the
Dow Jones finished higher by almost 400 points to close out at 11,239.77. The
Nasdaq closed out higher by 124.83 points and finished at 2,482.52 and the S&P
500 closed out the session higher by 53.07 points at 1,172.53. The Feds did
promise to keep interest rates low through 2013. This word helped to boost
investor sentiment on the day. On the docket for today will be the weekly report
from the Mortgage Bankers Association. The Energy Department will post its
weekly report on crude oil inventories and investors will receive data relevant
to wholesale inventories. Frank Matto

Todays Gold prices silver prices gold price per ounce silver price per ounce spot gold price per gram spot silver prices DJIA Review

Gold prices moved higher as did the primary stock index composites during the
last trading session in the United States. The significant drop off for stocks
on Monday was followed by an almost-as-significant rebound yesterday. The DJIA
responded last session by gaining almost 430 points. All three major stock
indices finished the day in the green but investors are still concerned. The
major issues of provocation pertain to the credit downgrade and the continuing
problems stemming from the Erozone debt crisis. The dollar settled lower versus
the euro and this helped fuel the safe haven acquisitions of gold last session.
Gold even hit an intraday high at one point by touching the 1782.50 per troy
ounce rate. Gold attracted the attention and silver dropped lower again. Gold
contract for December delivery closed higher by 1.74 percent at 1743.00 per troy
ounce. Silver contract for September delivery closed in the red by 3.80 percent
at 37.88 per troy ounce. Contract gold and silver price per ounce rates moved in
divergent directions last session as did spot gold and spot silver prices. Spot
gold price per gram moved higher by 1.50 at 56.48 and spot gold price per kilo
was higher by 1497.79 at 56481.79. Spot silver price per ounce moved lower by
.99 at 38.39. Camillo Zucari
