Early bull market? Avoid investing in this rally.

Early bull market? Avoid investing in this rally.

The [tag]stock market[/tag] was doing great last month. One would say that this was its bottom and now the market would grow and grow and grow… Others say the market has a capability to predict an economic turnover about six months ahead.

Weak stocks rally the market

Weak stocks rally the market

Last couple days were exciting. On Tuesday March 10th the market started a [tag]rally[/tag]. Finally, one would say. It was depressive watching the [tag]market[/tag] dropping further down every single day. So this weeks’ [tag]gains[/tag] make me feel positive. At least it provides nice feeling about the market’s long expected turn-around. When looking at the chart, Continue reading →

The stock market – free fall

The stock market - free fall

Today’s [tag]trading[/tag] was exciting. I didn’t have much time watching it, I just briskly reviewed it in the morning when it opened about 130 points below yesterday’s closing and later I could check it when the market was already closed. A [tag]300-point loss[/tag] was amazing. [tag]Dow[/tag] seems to be heading to a [tag]4000-point level[/tag] as Continue reading →

The stock market is searching for bottom again

The stock market is searching for bottom again

A week ago it seemed like the [tag]market[/tag] is already on the bottom and almost ready to turn over. However last week the market broke through its [tag]support line[/tag] and headed further down.
