Merger Mania Took Place In 2006 And 2007 And Look What Happened

In 2006 and 2007 the stock market saw a lot of merger and acquisition
activity. In fact, that was the catalyst for the stock market advance
throughout 2006 and it helped support and recover the markets three
times in 2007 despite the brewing mortgage crisis. Here we go again in
2010 as the merger and acquisition activity heats up. Hewlett Packard Co
(NYSE:HPQ) just won a bidding war for 3 PAR Inc (NYSE:PAR) over Dell
Inc (NASDAQ:DELL) today. It is important to realize that Dell Inc
started the b… Continue

Markets Rally Into Key Daily Resistance Area

The markets surged higher today and right into a major resistance area.
As seen on the chart below, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSE:SPY) has
gone directly into the 20 and 50 moving averages on the daily chart.
This acts as a major resistance point in the short term and should keep
the markets flat tomorrow if not with a small pull back. Friday the
Unemployment and Non Farm Payrolls will be out at 8:30am ET. This should
cause some wildness for the first few hours until the holiday kicks in
and vol… Continue

Markets Soar As Shorts Get Whipped Hard

Over the past few days, I wrote many articles discussing major levels hit by key stocks as well as far too much bearish sentiment in
the market. Prior to a holiday weekend, I thought it was highly unlikely
we would see a major break down and would even possibly see a rally.
With a huge rally today, this turned out to be dead on. Understanding
market psychology has become more and more important in these markets.

Inflation Rally To Start September

This morning the major stock market indexes are soaring higher ahead of
the opening bell. This positive move comes after the market reacted
positive to Chinese PMI last night. It is still amazing that the
Shanghai Index has this much of an effect over the markets world wide.
There are obviously other reasons for the large gap higher this morning
such as the sharp decline in the U.S. Dollar Index. As many traders and
investors know by now when the dollar declines the stock market indexes
will usu… Continue
