THURSDAY: Weekly jobless claims; leading indicators; Philly Fed index; Earnings from Research In Motion
FRIDAY: Quadruple witching
Note the Tuesday -- Madoff: it is quite sickening to see that markets are hyping based on the similar kinds of activities which those will be revealed after massive millions of Americans are again fooled into.
Spending trillions debt is just the same as the Madoff swindle ponzi scam - just the same except the excuse is different stating that the spending is to stimulate economy. But we know that the spending is, in reality, a big swindle draining sheepsters' pocket to sustain the big Government spending -- specially during massive trade deficit and job exports.
It is hardly believable that so many are fooled into such scheme.
Great country is getting ruined by the greed ... with new drama.
June 11, 2009 DOW and GS:
Markets are overbought
Markets pierced the intermediate resistances with extremely negative divergences then closed below the Rs.
HOD trading above R
$COMPX 1879.92
$INDU 8877.93
$INX 956.23
Closing below the DOW 8800 and SPX 950
$COMPX 1862.37
$INDU 8770.92
$INX 944.89
Market price actions are erratic, so it is better to stay away from market gyration except for day trading.
Markets are in distribution phase, so it would be irrational to chase markets at this level in overbought condition.
June 10, 2009 DOW:
Bonds have been sold off -- obviously stock markets are over-crowded. Interest rates are trading at intermediate resistances. The high rates will extremely constrain many especially
those who are going through financial crisis in addition to dealing with higher energy and oil prices.
Markets could snap with some kinds of manufactured news.
June 9, 2009 US Economic reality:
Massive debt spending false hope with big smoke screen just same as all other prior financial dramas, scheme, and scams -- just getting bigger and uglier with massive manipulation now in trillions.
US Economic insanity: astronomical debt, ~ 9 trillion, spending which will further destroy majority of Americans' wealth which we have seen. Greed power destroyed massive Americans with deception which only recently be known to some.
After the decades of financial market manipulation using high price volatility -
especially during the Greenspan era, it is quite easy to manipulate market price actions
and Americans' sentiment using mass media which is owned by the same power and which controls the world economy.
We can see the result of the deception as the US economy and massive Americans has fallen into
the deception as financial and news media does not report accurate information and economic reality because
they are controlled by the same destructive power for most of people. What is astonishing is that many are either
ignoring the reality or is bought by the deception.
June 8, 2009 Low trading volume:
Longs went to beach after married to stocks.
Market Summary
Markets traded up into close after trading in low volume as alerted the intraday support at 1:25pm (15419)
We have markets superficially holding with massive debt spending
The massive debt spending false hope is going to be a rude awaking, and furthermore, it is unbelievable
many are fallen into the false security.
John Williams of www.shadowstats.com notes that official US deficit statistics do NOT include net present value of unfunded social security OR Medicare expenses.
A lot of folks have made a big deal about the US running a $1 trillion deficit this year.
Well, if you included the net value of those unfunded Social Security and Medicare expenses we cleared a $1 trillion deficit in 2007, a $5 TRILLION deficit in 2008 and are on course to clear a $9 TRILLION deficit this year.
To give you an idea of how big a problem these deficits are, consider that the US government could tax its citizens 100% of their earnings and NOT have a balanced budget.
Markets traded to targets and consolidate
SPX 950 & DOW 8800
* Markets are consolidating after trading to the noted targets.
* Trading near at secondary resistances.
* Daily price actions are over-extended with weekly overbought.
* With the Jun 1 rally, markets are now trading well above the resistances which I noted, during the last couple of weeks, as: SPX 930 +/-, DOW 8600 +/-, Nasdaq 1770 +/-, NYA 6000 +/-; as we can see the closing prices shown on the left.
* I commented on SPX 1000 +/- target since a break above 850 on 3/26/2009. Even though I anticipated a meaningful pull back, markets have not shown a pull back as we have seen a continuation of the recent trend.
* Mid year cycle on 7/13+/-: as previously noted, a major mid year cycle date is next pivotal market juncture.
Market price actions despite the economic reality
Markets are still hyping based on the massive debt spending to lure consumers to spend on false hope of massive
debt spending. Real GDP growth would be much worse as the debt spending is counted as a part of GDP
calculation. Americans were misinformed and misled during the 2002-2007 economy as the GDP-economic growth
was mainly based on Americans' savings, not genuine producing power. We are going through worse debt spending economy.

Americans financials = future Chinese and Asians:
What many of Americans went through is what will be the same pattern of many Chinese and Asians in future.
The pattern which many Americans and the United States went through is what will become as the financial markets
and economic condition will be repeated as it was and it will be.
re: Soros is somewhat bullish on Chinese economy since many Chinese have personal savings which can be spent.
Financier George Soros said on Sunday that China's global influence is set to grow faster than most people expect,
with its isolation from the global financial system and a heavy state role in banking aiding a relatively swift economic recovery.
