But isn't it great to hear the sound of speculators losing billions of dollars on market volatility. Has oil topped out? Have financials bottomed out? Has stagflation set in? On and on, investors ask economists and financial gurus these questions.  The experts look into their "crystal balls" and come up with the usual long or short winded explanations of what is happen

A bullish market discounts the element of dividend yields but they gain importance in a falling market. The dividend yield ratio is computed by dividing the annual dividend per share with the current stock price of the company.So,if the annual dividend is around 40% it means that you gets rs 4 on every rs 100 you spend buying the stocks.This implies that as the stock prices rises,its dividend

The S&P500 closed yesterday at 1,315.22 points. The first time the S&P500 stood at this level was April 1999. This past decade in the US stock markets has been a long-term investor’s nightmare. I’m referring mostly to retirement savings and households of course. The following chart is of the S&P500 index since 1999:The rule of thumb in long-term saving is that stocks, over time, are the best investment option available as volatility gets averaged out and all that is left is to enjoy the average returns over the years.Another rule is that the younger you are the riskier your investments should be since you have enough time to average out poor performance.While financial advisors work according to these rules the academic world has had problems substantiating them on a solid

At the end of last week we saw technical triangle for broad US indices. Pattern was crossed down and shares are going down this week. We are approaching stronger technical support line. For S&P 500 level 1300 points was topped on May 06 and tested one month ago. Dow Jones Industrial average has tested level of 12000 points already three times. After Chinese sell-off last year, one month ago and just now. NASDAQ Composite is not as interesting from technical point of view. It gave up all gains and all 2007's resistance against credit meltdown is away. Index is well behind Chinese sell-off bottom and another resistance line could be seen at psychological level 2000 points. This level has been tested 2 times in last 3 years.Related tickers: (DIA), (SPY), (QQQQ)

Stock markets across Europe and the US had their worst day in several months. In London the main share index fell more than 200 points - the biggest one day points drop in over four years. Everywhere the gloom was partly a response to new figures underlying the slump in the US housing market. Poor company profits data and a jump in oil prices also played a part. But, perhaps most important, the markets are gripped by worry that banks and investors generally are becoming much less willing to take on risk. For some time financial institutions have been reeling from an expected 100 billion dollars of losses from low income Americans defaulting on loans to buy their homes. Now there’s concern about the corporate debt market - on Wednesday it emerged that banks were unable to find other investors willing to share the risk in a high profile corporate takeover, the 12 billion dollar buy-out of the US car giant Chrysler. Other planned takeovers could also be in trouble. Analysts are warn

From India DailyChinese stock market is falling like a stone. The Indian stock market fueled by American and European financial institutions faces the biggest bubble burst in the history.The CSI 300 Index dropped 292.52, or 7.7 percent, to close at 3511.43. After the government tripled the tax on share trades to 0.3 percent, Chinese stick market has tumbled 16 percent from its May 29 peak.Indian and other emerging markets are in deep trouble too.

The bubble burst will be known in the history as the biggest financial meltdown in the history Western financial infrastructure.[Read more]

From Japan TimesMore than a month has passed since the Shanghai stock market plunge sent shock waves throughout global markets in late February. Although share prices have since stabilized, volatility rife in foreign-currency markets, with the dollar-yen rate sometimes fluctuating nearly 2 yen a day.Stock markets are prone to synchronized global downturns when new types of shock arrive. But it should be noted here that the biggest factor behind the markets' recent problems is excess liquidity.Even in a global chain reaction, different reasons particular to each country work to push down share prices, and the size of the decline varies.In the United States, share prices are under downward pressure from pessimism over the U.S. strategy for Iraq, and the possibility that tons of housing loans extended by subprime mortgage lenders will go sour.In Japan, political uncertainty over local elections and the House of Councilors elections in July are casting a pall over the stock market.In Chin

From RedBoliviaHong Kong --China's stock markets boomed last year, with Shanghai's benchmark Composite Index going up 130 percent. In recent weeks, however, the market has been increasingly volatile, generating worries about this year's returns. The index has swung up and down rapidly in recent weeks, on some days moving as much as five percent. It is down about eight percent from its record high of 2,994 points, which it hit last month.Liang Zhou is the China research manager in Shanghai for Lipper, a company that studies investment fund performances. He says the volatility was mainly triggered by warnings of an overheating of the market.[Read more]
