Monday Morning Market Commentary: Stocks Rally Last Week & What the Charts Are Saying..
Please visit www.nicholasolesen.com for more information. Here is a summary of what I spoke about This past week was another strong week for stocks as the S&P 500 gained 2.0% during the four days the US markets were open, Last Week’s 10-Yr Treasury Yieldwhich marked its third consecutive weekly climb and a break above 1300 which is both a psychological number and support level. But those still holding onto Treasuries were slightly hurt as the 10-year Treasury yield went back above 2%, meaning the prices dropped approximately 1.5%. Since domestic markets were closed on Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Day, the week started on Tuesday with traders encouraged by news that China’s fourth quarter GDP climbed 8.9% from the prior year. The country also reported that retail sales and industrial production for December climbed at a double-digit clip from one year ago. Last Week’s S&P 500 IndexThere was some mid-week buzz about the International Monetary Fund wanting to expand its lending capacity, reportedly in the range of 0 billion to trillion, in order to be able to meet a perceived financing shortfall. That same day the World Bank lowered its global growth forecast to reflect 2012 growth of 2.5% and 2013 growth of 3.1%. Leading up to the week’s end, trade on Thursday saw stocks score varied gains as participants digested a deluge of data and a raft of earnings reports. The big story on the economic side was that weekly initial jobless claims made a surprisingly …

Reports today say unemployment’s up, consumer spending down, things worse than expected… and stocks are up?
Question by Beavis: Reports today say unemployment’s up, consumer spending down, things worse than expected… and stocks are up?
How can the stock market be up? If a report came out that showed how there would be a major crash first part of the year – the market would still be up. Is this where the $ 2 trillion in emergency loans went? How long can the government hold off the inevitable? I smell a rat!

Wall Street Fraud Watchdog Warns All Investors About the Quote En Quote 2012 US Economic Recovery & Suggests Silver is a Better Bet Than US Stocks
(PRWEB) February 09, 2012
On November 10th 2011, The Huff Post said in an article about the UR residential real estate markets, “As of June 30th, 2011 some 22.5 percent of all U.S. homes had a mortgage that was under water, according to CoreLogic. That’s 10.9 million properties. Another 2.4 million borrowers had less than 5 percent equity in their home, the firm said.” The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog says, “Since June of last year to today, we think the number of US homeowners upside down on their mortgages probably exceeds 25%.” But CNBC and NBC are telling us the economy is getting better? According to the International Business Times on January 7th 2012, “official figures released by the U.S. government, unemployment rates in the country are hovering around 8.6 percent. However, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) suggests that a better measure of the real jobless rate -the U-6 – stands at 15.6 percent.” The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog says, “Anyone buying into the notion the US economy is getting better, should take a look at the real fundamentals. We have no prospects of a US housing recovery on the horizon, the actual US unemployment rate is still north of 15%. We don’t think there will be such a thing as US consumer confidence, by September of 2012, because we do believe this US Presidential Election will be the ugliest ever, all combined with international atmospherics that make us cringe. We have already warned, and we will say it again, why buy a house today in the United States, when by election time it will probably be worth 10% less? We actually said that a month ago; tragically before Syria’s Assad started butchering his own citizens on a wholesale level, with the help of Russia, and before Iran started acting like they want a war with the West. We are even more pessimistic now, than we were a month ago.” http://WallStreetFraudWatchdog.Com.
The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog is concerned today’s Wall Street is not your grandpa’s Wall Street, when it comes to investing. They worry the current number on the Dow is not a good measure of the US economy, nor does it reflect issues that are facing the entire planet in the next three, or four months. As for Wall Street’s old saying, “We look six months out,” the group believes Wall Street looks out about 24 hours, at the most. At this moment the Dow is near 13,000? The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog says, “Might we suggest you go to cash, or buy silver. We do not see anyway this ends well for US, or global investors, so we are strongly suggesting you sit this one out, at least until after the US Presidential Election. On the topic of elections, or exercising your right to vote, we hope everyone ever thinking about investing with Russians, or in Russia remembers what country (Russia) vetoed a Security Counsel measure, along with the Chinese, that would have helped stop Syria’s Assad from butchering his own people, or what country (Russia) sold Iran the technology to build a nuclear plant, that is now the entire reason we could now have really big war in the Middle East.” http://WallStreetFraudWatchdog.
