Best Stock Trading Tip of 2008 - Try THIS

. http://skyhigh.weebly.com . Follow the link above! . 2008-05-23 16:20 ET Dow -145.99 Dow Close 12479.63 Nasdaq -19.91 Nasdaq Close 2444.67 S&P -18.42 S&P Close 1375.93 Nasdaq100 -0.3 SandP_Midcap400 -1.2 Russell2000 -1.2 NYAdv 850 NYDec 2243 NQAdv 872 NQDec 1944 [BRIEFING.COM] The stock market closed 3.5% lower this week after losing 1.3% this session. Stocks declined in the face of persistently high oil prices and broad-based selling efforts ahead of the long weekend. Eight of the major economic sectors lost at least 1.0% this session. Crude oil prices rebounded from yesterday’s drop and weighed on early morning sentiment. The commodity closed $1.31 higher on the New York Mercantile Exchange, finishing the session at $132.12 per barrel. Crude has not finished lower for two consecutive sessions since the beginning of May. Investor pessimism persisted in the face of positive earnings announcements from retailers Gap (GPS 17.94, -0.35) and Aeropostale (ARO 32.67, -0.05). The pair announced after yesterday's close earnings results that surpassed the consensus earnings per share estimate. Meanwhile, department store Dillards (DDS 15.73, -0.63) reported this morning its first quarter net income slumped during the most recent quarter. Brewers (+6.4%) performed exceptionally well in the face of the session’s broad-based selling. A report from FT Alphaville indicating Belgium beverage company InBev is interested in acquiring Anheuser-Busch (BUD 56.61, +4.03) helped give the group a lift. Tech heavyweight Apple (AAPL 181.17, +4.12) helped the Nasdaq 100 (-0.3%) outperform the major indices on a relative basis. Apple had its price target elevated and was added to a buy list at a pair of Wall Street’s leading investment banks. Separately, existing home sales for April declined 1.0% month-over-month to an annualized rate of 4.89 million units, according to the National Association of Realtors. Economists were expecting April sales to decline 1.6% from the prior month’s annualized ...

Investing & Trading: Investing Thoughts +276 Points on DOW

My Daily Blog is at: http://investorandtrader.blogspot.com/ The DOW rises 276 points. What? Where did this sudden rally come from? Not Oil. Oil had it's severe drop around 11:00 am, and the stock market did nothing. So where is this 276 point rally coming from? NOTE: This is not an investment or trading recommendation. The losses in trading can be very real, and depending on the investment vehicle, can exceed your initial investment. I am not a licensed trading or investment adviser, or financial planner. But I do have 12 years of experience in trading and investing in these markets. The Challenge accounts are run for the education of other traders who should make their own decisions based off their own research.

Hindenburg Omen predicts Stock Market Crash

http://www.disclose.tv/viewvideo/5664/ An ominous technical signal known as the Hindenburg Omen could be predicting the next stock market crash. Here is another video about the recent prediction: http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=789010961andamp;play=1 The Hindenburg Omen is rare technical analysis indicator that attempts to predict a forthcoming stock market crash. It is named after the Hindenburg disaster, the crash of the German zeppelin of the same name in May 1937. The Hindenburg Omen is the alignment of several technical factors that measure the underlying condition of the stock market - specifically the NYSE - such that the probability that a stock market crash occurs is higher than normal, and the probability of a severe decline is quite high. The rationale behind the indicator is that, under normal conditions, either a substantial number of stocks establish new annual highs or a large number set new lows - but not both. When both new highs and new lows are large, it indicates the stock market is undergoing a period of extreme... +++ Truth revealed by http://www.disclose.tv +++

Stock Market Crash Prediction 2008

Using my own stock market cyclical indicator I predict a stock market crash for the FTSE beginning within a few days of August 18th 2008. The market will begin to drop & within 2 - 3 weeks will hit 4500 before recovering over the next 2 to 3 weeks to around 5250. It will stay at this level for a few months before dropping sharply to around 4000, & will trade around this level with a few peaks & troughs for a couple of months before setting of down again to between 3300 & 3500. It will hit its bottom probably before the end of 2009, or shortly into 2010.

World Trade Center Building 7 - The Smoking Gun

WTC 7 contained the offices of the FBI, the Department of Defence, the United States Secret Service, the C.I.A., the Mayor's Office of Emergency Management (a command and control bunker), the IRS (which contained prodigious amounts of corporate tax fraud evidence, including Enron's), the Securities & Exchange Commission (with more stock fraud records), Citibank's Salomon Smith Barney and many other financial institutions. The SEC has not quantified the number of active cases in which substantial files were destroyed by the collapse of WTC-7. Reuter's news service and the Los Angeles Times published reports estimating them at 3,000 to 4,000. Inside WTC 7 was the US Secret Service's largest field office with more than 200 employees - "All the evidence that we stored at 7 World Trade, in all our cases, went down with the building," according to US Secret Service Special Agent David Curran. A regime capable of these operations should be removed from power and brought to justice as soon as possible. Even a basic knowledge of 20th Century History shows us that. .

Ford.'s sales drop 27.9 percent for the month and Toyota's fell 21.4 percent.----------------------A New York appeals court has ordered the remaining state claims of excessive pay dismissed against former New York Stock Exchange Chairman Richard Grasso's $187.5 million compensation package.The court said the attorney general's authority to pursue the claims lapsed when the NYSE changed from nonprofit to a for-profit corporation in 2005. Last week, the state's Court of Appeals dismissed four common law claims against the package.

Squawkbox: On The Radar 06-27-08

Squawkbox market analysis with Danielle Morellino from Thomson Reuters Transcript: Welcome to the Thomson Squawk Box On the Radar Report. I'm Danielle Morellino. This week, our team analyzed stocks with increasing short interest, negative technical patterns and fundamental challenges that may be set to see more near-term downside. Retaier Dillards is near the top of that list. Short interest increased from 22.3% of the float to 28.3% from May 30 to June 13. The stock does not look to have any support until $10, a level not seen since 2001. The RSI is very low at 18, but it has dipped as low as 14 recently and the stock also just had a negative MACD crossover. We do not see any catalysts in the current environment being able to keep Dillards from falling to $10, nearly a 20% downside. Another on the list is Allegheny Technologies. Short interest has increased from 5.7%% on May 30 to 11.3% on June 13, nearly doubling. The negative sentiment could be a result of rising input costs at the specialty metal maker causing a material impact to the bottom line. The stock is currently at a pivotal point, near early '08 lows, but it looks more likely to test August 06 lows of $55, a 10% downside. With volume drying up it will be hard for buyers to regain control of the stock, and with the RSI currently at 29, there is room for the stock to fall further. Also on our list is Rohm & Haas: This stock has seen short interest increase from 6.1% to nearly 8.5% from late may to mid-June. The stock looks to be headed for early '08 lows of $45.70, just a 5% drop, but it could fade further to the $42.50 area if support does not hold. The small gap near $50 may serve as a resistance area if we see any temporary bounce in the stock. Many segments of business are headed for continued weakness such as building and materials, and although the electronic segment may see some growth, the company is not a leader in this segment and appears headed for further declines.
