Are Risk Assets on the Verge of Melting Up?

Hi Raymond, what reasons would cause USD to reverse except a descending wedge and extreme bearish sentiment? Thanks.

Today in Commodities: Dollar in the Driver's Seat

Hi Matt, is there something I can read more on "where the powers that be may push the dollar higher"? Thanks in advance.

Thursday Outlook: Commodities, Global Markets

I think the "for now invisible Up hand" is at work. The last half hour surge usually means a gap up tomorrow. It bounced perfectly at 823 support. Up hand has made loads, gaps up before and about close on low volume. Last Friday's was contrived. Make you chase and will decide when to dump.

Weekly Street Sentiment: Sell-Side Bullish for 13th Week in a Row, But Frugality Continues

Did we get 2 re-enforcement weeks? What is the significance?

Weekly Street Sentiment: Sell-Side Bullish for 13th Week in a Row, But Frugality Continues

Several weeks ago it was +3.2% and it was a re-enforcement indicator. Would you elaborate more on the two indicators more as this week is +3.4%? I took this article as all out bullish, yes?

After a seesaw day, stocks soar in the last minutes of the market day/week/month. DJIA +1.15% to 8500. S&P +1.36% to 919. Nasdaq +1.29% to 1774. Crude oil +2.1% to $66.29. Gold +1.8% to $978.80.

There has been many gap ups pre market and market close since March 9th. 5/29 last 15 minutes was obvious. There was an article about a big future program buy order from GS. GS principal trades has been relatively huge. A future order should impact all 500 S&P stocks at once. Wha are GS's direct and indirect motives? They have been very profitable. This move by GS apparently has positioned S&P for a breakout from a doward bias.

Federal Reserve Still Sees Greater-than-Average Economic Uncertainty

Is the following true? With the S&P 500 as one of the 10 components of the index and a 40% move in stocks the stock market actually contributed 50% of the improvement in leading indicators. If true, what % contribution in recent WLI is due to S&P 500? Thank you in advance.

Federal Reserve Still Sees Greater-than-Average Economic Uncertainty

Why WLI is suggesting a V recovery and end of recession in contrast to many U shaped views?

Weekly Street Sentiment: Sell Side Is Passive Aggressive

Last week you mentioned sentiment could be changing. Is sell side passive aggressive confirming last week's potential sentiment change?

Stress Tests Confirm: Banking System Was Never Headed Over a Cliff

Geithner annouced stress test 2/9 and market went off the cliff and dropped to the lowest in early March. Market has gone back to about when he annouced the stress test. Funny how the system works and we are thankful to Geithner. A teacher gave a test to students asked how they would like to be graded and compromised on the final grade.

The Real Reason for This Rally

I would be interested in what stage it is in, looked like big money moving in? Do you have any suggested targets for "plenty of gas left" after S&P over 920, today? Thank you in advance.

We're Still Not Done with This Bear Market Rally

I was interested in what stage the market is in and author's insight after another big run up today. It sounded like and feels like everyone is thinking of going non stop higher, stress tests no issue, etc. It is a bull market now?
