Market Shakeup

Well it's time to do my usually high level scrutiny into Wall Street and international investment. I got a lot of important interesting news with chart data to post here that gonna put everything in perspective on what's happening in investment and business. So,let's get started with some critical day facts combined with market analysis,include a few overall predictions. Ok. This is going to a nonsense report with facts,the markets stink for all the poor suckers who put their money on betting long game. Why? The Dow just proved that if you don't stay ahead of the markets in doing your research your going get thrown under a bus which is how this week started Monday. We seen many different factors players get involved in overall markets behaving the way it is doing this early week. So you ask what are those factors John? Well it started with OPEC crude oil production output decision by the Saudi Arabia which decided to keep a freeze on changes in light sweet crude oil output quota. This is point number one that started investors skepticism about suspicions that OPEC may reduce their oil output, compensate for a glut on global storage of existing refinery products.
Then you got Deutsche Bank corporate shakeup canning most of the existing corporate executives which sent yet another ripple through the European markets. Then add in Europe to everyone pains Brexit is going into full scale scalping consumers on huge price jump in costs of consumer goods average 7% increase in overall costs and the pain doesn't stop there. Euphoria in last week is replaced with sheer panic this week,trying to get out the sinking markets ship before everyone lost huge amount in their portfolios. Markets really reached a chilly sentiment on late Monday in Europe,America and international with a clear selling signals on charts data. Global reaction was mixed in Asia by the Neekii market marched uphill only to twice flip flop to current up 177.84 while others in Asia went completely opposite going downhill by average 40 points. American market investors got a big shock treatment with a new report that across the board corporate earnings declined by a whopping 12% average,then the Fed Bano started stirring the rate hike pot again sending fears through both corporate America and global investors that the Fed hiding a secret bombshell with a renewed double digit rate hike. People heard the saber rattling in the Fed Bank and said "Whoa buddy you gotta listen to this one they gotta be planning something big,Yellen got something up her sleeve that she just waiting to spring on all of us. We better play it safe zone." So,with everyone herd mentality they looked at the Fed,Brexit the British pound freefall in value combined with earnings statements and decided its bailout time before we get burned. It's a domino effect in the mindset of corporate and investors so instead of playing long ball with investment they looked,then decided bailout better do it now sell it. Canadian markets followed suit by playing follow the leader with mild sell off average 24 points since Monday. Apple,Google,technology companies all posted under the benchmark on both earnings and PIP performance index,chart data this quarter combined with Morningstar ratings as underperforming in every category. When you look at the underpins in the charts you can easily see why it's happened. You got to factor in GDP is down. 4% global which is pulling down both investment markets and corporate profits. The total surprise for this quarter is overall new homes construction is up by 2.3% on average combined with real estate home sales up by a little more this quarter 7% which is making a bright spot in the economy. Average  income and saving did rise some this quarter but is still not keeping pace with inflation. While inflation report by the US Treasury is average 2.8% people are warned by market signals that this low numbers isn't going to last long,certainly not to end of 2016. So,these are some key market factors that are driving the economy,which is creating a global warning bell ringing on both corporate and market investment.
My prediction is we are going to see some more bright spots in the global economy but it's not enough this week to spark a reverse change in the current coarse of selling,bailout. We could however see some interesting news come from European Bank,Fed Bank,MLP managed leverage partnerships,plus news from major technology companies,energy sector that will give a bigger boost to the markets and economy. So,their you have it in a complete package,note; I didn't add major market data numbers as much as I usually do to save time on getting this up posted online.

Have Blessed Day,

No Silk Stockings

It's my usual Wednesday stock report with some interesting thought given to my unique critical analysis. I thought I would start off my new theme today about the overall global markets with No Silk Stockings here. Ok.. A bit of humor to start my late afternoon is always something that is a icebreaker especially when I am way to serious my wife Pam says jokingly with a winking eye. Well let's get out my Dr. Watson magnifying glass and look at the global markets and people portfolio future. Well, I have if you notice posted a interesting chart that shows that the markets are very bullish this week. So, you say why's that happening I thought all my investments are safe? Umm. Here is the reason they aren't safe but that again depends on how you play the markets. If you plan on playing the long game with technology stocks this week to be honest you got clobbered with huge losses. Technologies and real estate sectors took the worst hit this week due to huge skepticism over the Fed Bank Chair Janet Yellen recent chilly comments about a interest rate hike above the belt line. Global evidence shows the instant ouch factor with the global markets herd going into manic mode selling everything to get out before a steep freefall happens. You know that ever time the Fed Chair says the words rate hike the Dow and Standards and Poors plus global markets go into Umm. Lets see pause for a few minutes then hit the panic button..Oh No. Time to sell!! The overall idea that the Fed Banks going to tinker again with interest rates sends people people running to medicine cabinet to gulp down a larger sum of Rolaids or Tums to stop that nausea feelings. Look everyone at the chart data closely you will see some familiar things in it and a interesting trend this week. Bulls running the markets mean that everyone running at a fever pitch feeling that lost their market advantages combined with sour apples,that a market recovery will happen. Well everyone knows the DYNAMIC TRIO God,John and Pam are jumping in both feet on all those baleful feeling,while the bulls crying foul at how things stink on Wall Street. Not us,Yup,this week is time to buy on everyone else rash decisions,like my very lovely wife HM Queen Pam L (Porter) Norton says" You snooze you lose" which is a common sense idea. We been and are continuing making a market truck loads of stocks,bonds etc,cash that is big double,triple digits dough on everyone missed opportunity,market mistakes. Watch out Warren Buffet here we come this Dynamic Trio got truck loads buyers fever,you'll be sitting on the edge of your seat sweating,wiping your brow hoping your not the next corporate victim. Berkshire Hathaway? ?? Well,let's continue with this fascinating analysis of the middle week for August 31,2016. So,as I was saying you can see in the data chart a steep upheaval in the markets,in other way of saying it were in for a bumpy ride ahead. Stocks future indexes have and are as of today running in the red zones which means that a bigger dip is expected. I am going pessimist mode here but the MacD,Russell,other charts shows the story. You got a lot of big institution investors hauling in their market involvement due to recession jitters. You see global markets reaction to the news about Germany banks nearly totally ruined by economic recession,Swiss Banks making larger changes to offset EU problems,American banks like Chase Manhattan,Citigroup also doing restructuring to stay ahead of pending European Union collapse. You then add another layer of pain by watching OPEC change their prices for Light Sweet Crude Oil. What's happening is the markets are sharply reading,reaction to being squeezed by bad economic news on top of it all. So,where we heading is a good question? Hmmmm..  You know I going get to the awfully bad punch line,market constriction going to continue with a few bright rosey spots which is going to come as we escape our cave dwelling to check out the Fed Banks final decision this month. The other thing that going to effect it all is China economy,which is a huge credit lender to the G-20 industrialized nations,most particular America. These factors are going to continue global effects for the next month and possible towards the end of 2016 fiscal year. So,their you have it folks in a nut shell with a critical critique of global markets and business going forward this week and beyond.

Take Care-Have a Bless Day,

Dow Losses

It sure has been another blood bath for stocks on wall street today as we feel the pain again of another dose of triple digit loses. Most investors just bailed out of stocks and really went looking for safety in their portfolio after last weeks disaster decline on Thursday. Stock performance started out this Monday as the same sour note with investors hedging bonds over stocks. This shift has driven the market indexes to another 146 plus points decline before closing bell with most stocks and some bonds off a full percentage point or more today. I think this is just a market correction that we have all have to bear the brunt of this week. On the brighter side some under value stocks in the oil and utilities sector actually gained a average of 2 to 3.5 percent  in today's market weakness which is good.
Stocks like Geo Petro and Teco Energy gained a healthy 2.4 percentage on the market share price. Look for a some solid stocks to do well such as Verizon and Microsoft in the coming days as investors buy back in on cheap dividend payers. Good investment in the cheap stocks and bonds are a solution to the building your individual wealth even in a weak market. Have a great day and invest wisely so you earn money on your portfolio especially on dividend paying investments.
