The sad reality is cheaper money won't work. Individuals aren't borrowing because they're still under a huge debt load. And as their homes drop in value and their jobs and … [visit site to read more]

| Are We Going To Let Ben Bernanke Fool Us Again? Posted: 29 Aug 2010 05:01 PM PDT Don’t worry everybody. Federal Reserve Chairman “Helicopter Ben” Bernanke says that the U.S. economy is going to be just fine, and that if it does slip up somehow the Federal Reserve is ready to rush in to the rescue. That was essentially Bernanke’s message to an annual gathering of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Friday. Bernanke insisted that even though the Federal Reserve has already cut interest rates to historic lows it still has plenty of tools that could be used to … [visit site to read more]

| Posted: 29 Aug 2010 01:33 PM PDT The Trader’s Narrative weekly report of sentiment surveys indicate that short-term trader sentiment at a bearish, but not panic, extreme. Institutional investors remain relatively sanguine on the market outlook. When I consider last Friday’s market reaction to the much anticipated the GDP report and the Bernanke speech, along with the sentiment picture, Friday may have marked a short-term low for as the bears have found themselves in a crowded trade as the market began to reverse.

| No Confirmed Downtrend In The US Stock Market Yet Posted: 29 Aug 2010 12:01 PM PDT The better than expected GDP numbers threw a slight monkey wrench in the trading plan (for you traders out there).

The market did break slightly below 1040 (1039.70) so in theory if one was quick they could have jumped in right there. I doubt anyone was that quick, so I suspect almost no one caught the exact low. Perfect timing isn’t … [visit site to read more]
