The S&P 500 and the US Economy on Shaky Ground – August 30, 2010 By:-Ron Acoba
Welcome to another week of stock trading my friends! Last week I noted the possibility of a breakdown in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (please see it here). Well, guess what. The broader S&P 500 appears to confirm where the Dow and the US economy are heading. As you can see from the $SPX’s weekly chart, the index has been forming a head and shoulders pattern. Remember that a couple of month’s ago it already attempted to breakdown but failed. Of course, it was a good thing that that did not happen. The question is, will it be able to avoid a breakdown this time around? Well, the S&P 500 rebounded very well last Friday with a gain 1.66% to close at 1064.59. It, however, would need to print a lot more than that to be completely out of the woods. You see, a a break below the formation’s neckline around the 1,000.00 region could send the broader index just below 850.00. Notice also that both the RSI, which is already below 50, and the MACD, which is in the negative region, are now indicating that the index’s downside move is starting to pick up speed. Let’s just just hope that the index is able to rebound and move past the peeks of the two shoulders and the head to resume its uptrend.

The In's and Out's of Dow Jones Stocks By:-Caterina Christakos
Explains the stocks the Dow is composed of, high dividend companies and cycle charts. The Dow Jones is composed of 30 stocks, and though some feel it is the world's most noted stock market exchange, there are still some who disagree for a couple of reasons. One, it is composed of 30 large cap stocks, but it is felt that it is not really an accurate cross section of the US economy that is indicated, and secondly, some argue that the Dow is a price-weighted indicator, rather than a capitalization weighted index. Those however, who are supporters of the Dow Jones Stock Index conclude that these matters are too small to consider . . .

What Made the Stock Market Crash By:-Banjo Smyth
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few years it is pretty obvious that we are in the middle of a financial crisis but does anybody truly know what made the stock market crash? Was it the banks that over extended themselves lending truck loads of money to every man and his dog (in some cases even lending money to the dog itself). The banks didn’t seem to worry about the ability of their customers to repay the mortgages, you simply needed to have a pulse and you could have some money. So was it the banks fault? Yes to a certain extent but surely there were other factors? And what about the non-banks? Their share prices have been slashed as well yet many of them weren’t involved in the subprime crisis at all? So once again I ask what made the stock market crash? To find the answer I would like to have a look at the more basic concept of human emotion and the effects they had on the stock market crash . . .

How Might the 2008 Market Crash End? By:-Jason Ng
The stock market crash of 2008 is the worst that the world has ever seen in terms of the number of points erased from the major indices. At its lowest point to date, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has lost a historical 6749 points! To put this into perspective, the 2001 to 2003 bear market merely erased 4153 points off the Dow.
