http://www.marketwatch.com/story/stock-caution-urged-as-margin-debt-levels-hit-new-highs-2014-03-09?pagenumber=1 This news is not true. Way back we dont have 1T liquidity in the market, we dont have so low an int rate. So the margin debt level is never a concern, in fact, it is a good sign that the bull strength is strong. More liquidity moving inot stock. High margin debt equate to high liquidity in the stock market. I see dow got to 17470 before a deep correction. |

Singapore shares retreat after four days of gains: Reuters
Singapore shares fell on Monday after a four-day winning streak as the broader Asian market sagged on disappointing Chinese trade data and uncertainty over the crisis in Ukraine. The benchmark Straits Times Index was down 0.4 percent at 3,122.7 as of 0503 GMT. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan lost 1.31 percent, as China's weak exports in February added fears of a slowdown in the wo...rld's second-largest economy. Shares in palm oil firm Golden Agri-Resources Ltd fell from a nearly four-month high of S$0.61 hit in the previous session, slumping 2.5 percent and leading the losses in the Singapore index, just as crude palm oil prices eased from a near 18-month peak. In other stocks, Frasers Centrepoint Ltd inched down 0.3 percent to S$1.59, hovering near last week's peak of S$1.615, the highest since Jan 20. The property developer made its debut on the Singapore Exchange on Jan. 14 at S$1.61. Daiwa Capital Markets initiated its coverage of Frasers Centrepoint with a " buy" rating and a target price of S$1.840, arguing that the property developer is backed by strong pre-sales of its residential projects and healthy recurring income from its other businesses. " While we believe the physical residential market looks set for continued softening, we believe shares of property developers have more than discounted the negative risks in the physical market and now offer strong value," Daiwa analysts wrote in a research note. Possible tie-ups with its top shareholder TCC Group, controlled by Thai billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, would provide the company with future growth momentum, the analysts noted. Frasers Centrepoint is expected to raise up to S$600 million through the listing of a hospitality real estate investment trust in Singapore in the second quarter, sources said. |

Asia Stocks Drop From Six-Week High on China, Japan Data Mar 10, 2014 9:00 AM GMT+0800 Asian stocks fell, with the regional benchmark index retreating from a six-week high, after reports showed an unexpected slump in Chinese exports and slower growth in Japan than economists had projected. BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP), a mining company that gets about 29 percent of sales from China, dropped 3.1 percent in Sydney. Fortescue Metals Group Ltd., Australia?s No. 3 producer of iron ore, tumbled 8.1 percent after futures on the metal used to make steel fell into a bear market. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. lost 0.8 percent in Tokyo after Boeing Co. said a change in production process at the Japanese manufacturer may have caused hairline cracks in the wings of some 787 Dreamliners. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index dropped 0.4 percent to 138.52 as of 9:53 a.m. in Tokyo. The gauge posted its fourth weekly advance last week, the longest such streak since September. Reports showed Chinese exports slid the most since 2009 last month, while Japan?s economy expanded less than estimated in the fourth quarter. Pro-Russian forces advanced in Ukraine?s Crimean peninsula, ignoring Western calls to halt a military takeover before the region?s separatist referendum. ?China?s weaker-than-expected export number will heighten market sensitivity,? Ric Spooner, chief markets analyst at CMC Markets in Sydney, wrote in an e-mail to clients today. ?The situation in Ukraine is also a background factor that?s likely to see some trader caution at the moment. While risk premiums were unwound last week when the immediate threat of Russian military action became less likely, markets are still respectful of the fact that the situation remains very unstable.? Japan GDPJapan?s Topix index fell 0.6 percent. The nation?s gross domestic product grew an annualized 0.7 percent from the previous quarter, the Cabinet Office said today in Tokyo, less than a preliminary estimate of 1 percent and a 0.9 percent median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of 20 economists. The current-account deficit widened to 1.59 trillion yen ($15.4 billion), the largest in data back to 1985, the finance ministry said. South Korea?s Kospi index and Australia?s S& P/ASX 200 Index (AS51) dropped 0.8 percent. New Zealand?s NZX 50 Index slid 0.2 percent from a record high. Markets in China and Hong Kong have yet to open. China?s overseas shipments unexpectedly declined 18.1 percent in February from a year earlier, customs data showed March 8, compared with analysts? median estimate for a 7.5 percent increase. Producer prices fell 2 percent, the most since July, according to a statistics bureau report yesterday, extending the longest decline since 1999. Relative ValueThe MSCI Asia Pacific Index increased 6.9 percent through March 7 from this year?s low on Feb. 4. The gauge traded at 13.1 times the estimated earnings of its constituent companies last week, compared with 16 for the Standard & Poor?s 500 Index and 14.4 for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Futures on the S& P 500 slipped 0.2 percent today. The U.S. benchmark index added 0.1 percent on March 7, extending a record high, after data showed stronger-than-forecast jobs growth, offsetting concern the situation in Ukraine could worsen. The jobs report released on March 7 showed a 175,000 gain in payrolls last month, which followed a revised 129,000 increase in January. The median forecast of economists in a Bloomberg survey called for a 149,000 advance in February. The jobless rate unexpectedly climbed from a five-year low, rising to 6.7 percent from 6.6 percent. Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk plans to travel to Washington on March 12 as Russian President Vladimir Putin defended the actions of Crimea?s local government, which may use the March 16 vote to leave Ukraine and join the country?s Soviet-era master. Russian troops detained Ukrainian border guards at a base a day after gunmen fired warning shots at international observers and barred them from Crimea. |

The bull market at 5: Not old yet ?  Stocks have been in a bull market for nearly five years. Think that's way too long? Think again. The stock market bulls have had the upper hand on the bears for nearly five years, and they may be just getting started. Sunday marks the fifth anniversary of the day the stock market hit its lowest point during the financial crisis and Great Recession. The fact that the rally is about to turn five has some investors wondering if stocks can keep going much higher. But previous bull markets, which are broadly defined as a period where the S& P 500 gains 20% or more without a decline of 20% in between, have gone on longer than the current one. As of this week, this bull market ranks as the sixth longest since 1928 -- just behind the bull market from 1982 to 1987, according to Bespoke Investment Group. If the S& P 500 hits a new high any time after March 22, this bull market would become the fifth longest. Assuming it continues to rally through Memorial Day, the current run would be longer than the bull market from 2002 to 2007, when the housing bubble inflated. But this bull market has a long way to go before it becomes the longest -- that honor goes to the epic rally that began shortly after Black Monday in late 1987 and lasted until the tech crash of 2000. Related: Investors are extremely greedy right now This bull market also isn't the best in terms of stock market performance either. As of Tuesday, the S& P 500 had gained 177% since March 2009, making it the fourth strongest bull market, according to Bespoke. The S& P 500 would have to rise another 20% before it will top the bull market gain from 1982 to 1987, when stocks surged nearly 230%. That's unlikely to happen, but it's not out of the realm of possibility. So can the rally continue for a sixth year? Of the 11 bull markets that have occurred since World War II, only three have made through a sixth year, according to Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S& P Capital. But Stovall thinks there's a " good chance" the current bull market will defy history and make it to its sixth birthday. That's partly because stock valuations are still reasonable, he says. The S& P 500 is trading at 16 times 2014 earnings estimates. That's not cheap. But it's not overly expensive either. Assuming the economy continues to grow and corporate earnings increase as expected this year, Stovall believes the bull market can last another year. He's not alone. A survey of 30 market strategists by CNNMoney in January found that most are expecting the S& P 500 to end at 1,960, up about 6% for the year. While that would be a healthy gain, it's a far cry from 2013's 30% increase. Related: Market needs a correction. But this isn't 1929! Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial, sees no signs the rally will end soon either. " In fact," he said, " the bull market may be getting a second wind." Kleintop argues that stocks will continue to hit new highs as investors who have been sitting on the sidelines jump back into the market. He thinks more investors will come to realize that returns for stocks are likely to exceed safer assets such as bonds. Looking further ahead, Kleintop says current market valuations suggest stocks can produce " mid- to high-single-digit gains" over the next ten years. That's not including dividends, which could add another 2%. Of course, even the bulls concede that stocks could suffer some setbacks. Kleintop says stocks will be volatile over the next ten years and there could even be another recession and big market pullback along the way. But for now, many experts think the bear is going to remain in hibernation mode for the remainder of this year. |

Stocks end mixed after February jobs surprise Stocks ended mixed Friday, as the enthusiasm following a better-than-expected jobs report wore off. The Dow rose 0.2%, while the S& P 500 added a single point. But that was enough to finish at another record closing high. The Nasdaq ended in the red, as big declines in biotech stocks weighed on the index. Biogen Idec (BIIB, Fortune 500)and Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) fell about 3% each, and Gilead Sciences (GILD, Fortune 500) was also down sharply. Biotech stocks have been one of the better performers this year but have recently begun to lose momentum. The iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology index (IBB) was down almost 1% Friday, following a nearly 3% drop on Thursday, prompting some StockTwits traders to wonder if the rally in the sector is over. " Do people think it is normal for large cap companies like $GILD to correct this aggressively?" asked SkepticalBull. " Bubble popping. $IBB." But others argued that this is just a dip for biotech stocks. " $IBB Great buy opportunity here," said MarcianoLoews. The lackluster day comes at the end of a week that started on a down note, as a political and economic crisis in Ukraine intensified and Russia troops got involved. Tensions between Ukraine and Russia continue, though many investors feel that the worst may be over. International leaders have instituted some sanctions against Russia and offered help to Ukraine as they try to resolve the situation. With the conflict fears easing, the three major indexes all ended the week up about 1%. Stocks are approaching the five-year anniversary of the starting point of the current bull market. While some investors worry that stocks are overdue for a pullback, bulls say there's more room to run. Related: Weather maps can show why February hiring was weak Earlier Friday, investors were encouraged by the fact that the U.S. economy added 175,000 jobs last month, an improvement from January and ahead of economists' expectations. The unemployment rate ticked up to 6.7%, from 6.6% the prior month as more Americans joined the labor force. The pickup in hiring is a good sign given that economists and investors have been worried that weak job growth in December and January may be the start of a more sustained economic slowdown, said Jim Baird, chief investment officer at Plante Moran Financial Advisors. The improvement also provides the Federal Reserve, which has begun scaling back, or tapering, its bond buying program by $10 billion a month, with more reasons to continue down its planned path, added Baird. As investors made bets that the Fed will taper again at its meeting later this month, they dumped Treasuries, pushing the 10-year yield up to 2.8% from 2.73% late Thursday. Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions. And rates often go higher when economic data is improving. Aside from the jobs report, investors are also keeping tabs on the latest earnings. European markets and Asian markets finished the day mostly lower. But Japan's Nikkei closed with a gain of about 1%. |

Maybe the period see a big wrongly.......maybe should be March.
Here is why :-
Russian isolation could leads top complication.
Just today, Russian side have openly threaten that, if they are being block, than they (Russian) will seized west's assets.
If US, also start to suspend the accounts of Russian due to the Invasion issue, Russia might retaliate.........it becomes messy...........Uncertainty and panic can set in very fast should political situation and relation gets ugly......... World becomes unstable...........panic set in, many will sell their stocks to hold their cash........others will follow and chain reaction across the world................plunge......... can imagine... its quite possible . The sign is there unless someone sees that and find solution...like lets sit down and talk and discuss way out of the situation of no one wins ....... Don't do tic for tad...or an eye for an eye...... U hit me I hit you back than We fight......
That is the Russian saga.......... and next is Israel keep pleading to world community to quickly intervene and stop Iran from further developing its nuclear capability............ Israel PM recently gave an \ very emotional and clear briefing in the UN. Showing a " sketch of an Atomic bomb and point at where Iran's research progress is now............ almost 3/4 way to successfully completing an " Nuclear Bomb"
And IRAN iterated and reiterated many times, that if it have the Nuclear BOMB, Israel will be wipe out from surface of the earth.....:)
Thats no joke to Israel and they cannot afford to let that happen...
Hence, the recent brief to the UN is for the purposed to get WORLD to understand why they will have to act. They made their case. VERY very convincingly.
If you have not watch Israel 's PM recent speech at the UN. Go to you-tube.... to view it from beginning to the end.........Very very convincing speech.. gets a standing ovation after that.......Its like hinting.if the world community doesn't act nor have result from stopping IRAN's continuous research to attain a Nuclear BOMB.... Israel will have to do the job them-self for their very own interest and the world's interest.
IRAN cannot be allowed to developed or own Nuclear bomb. Else its neighbor, Israel and the world will be at risk.........
and the situation looks like very urgent.... within 2 weeks perhaps........Maybe , maybe not........ :)
Lets hope not. Lets hope a real solution is found soon..............
With current Russian saga, Russian might makes friend with Iran and North Korea......... strategic alliance.
Like the pre WW2. Germany +Japan + Italy pack. If you attack any one of us, it wold mean you are declaring war with all of us............
It looks like a repeat of history...........the beginning of ww3 :)
