#222222">Man vergleiche heute mit damals:

Der momentane Stand von 46 würde ich nicht als "normal" bezeichnen. Liegt eher im sehr hohen Bereich.
Fundamental
Wir befinden uns in einer übergeordneten Baisse, die Konjunkturaussichten sind schlecht. Trotzdem sind erste bullishe Divergenzen erkennbar, insbesonbdere nicht so schlecht wie erwartet ausgefallene Einzelhandelsumsätze, Lagerbestände und Frühindikatoren. Noch ist alles negativ, aber die Erwartungen scheinen evtl. zu schlecht zu sein. Die Banken sind erwartungsgemäß mit immensen Verlusten aufgeschlagen, hier ließe sich aber vermuten, dass nun das meiste auf dem Tisch liegt. Zumindest würde das für die Banken Sinn machen, um eine Rettungsschirm zu erzwingen, solange noch Geld vorhanden ist (Wer zuerst kommt mahlt zuerst). DIe Inflation ist trotz weit geöffneter Geldschleusen tot, es droht die Gefahr einer Deflation. Das Geld der Notenbank ist also noch lange nicht beim Verbrauchern angekommen.
Die Krise ist noch nicht zuende, es liegt aber bereits ein weites Stück hinter uns. Es wird vermutlich nochmal ein letzter Schub nach unten kommen, der die Baisse dann beenden sollte. Der Kursverlauf der Banken spielt für den Gesamtmarkt mittlerweile nur noch eine untergeordnete Rolle, da der Anteil am Index sich von 20 auf 10% halbiert hat. Mit einem Meltdown des Bankssystems ist aufgrund der massiven staatlichen Eingriffe freilich nicht zu rechnen.
Sentiment
Die Stimmung ist sehr negativ, die Risikobereitschaft gering (Anleihen steigen die ganze Woche, Gold per gestern). Insofern ist die bullishe Divergenz im Kurs von gestern und vorgestern sehr positiv zu werten, insbesondere vor dem Hintergurund der extrem schlechten Bankdaten und des langen Wochenendes.
Trend
Der übergeordnete Trend ist abwärts, der Trend verläuft bei ca. 9600. Eine starke Unterstützungszone ist im Bereich 8000 erkennbar. Die Volatilität geht seit Mitte Dezember deutlich zurück (die Kerzen werden kürzer). Der Kurs ist also in einem fallenden Dreieck gefangen, die zunächst als Konsolidierungsformation zu deuten ist. Solange das so ist, funktioniert die antizyklische Strategie am besten, d.h. im unteren Bereich des Dreiecks tendenziell bullish werden und im oberen Bereich tendenziell bearish. Trendfolgende Strategien (z.B. GD-Methode) sind zum Scheitern verurteilt, da Trends, kaum etabliert, wieder zusammenbrechen.
Relative Stärke
Der RSI befindet sich im Aufwärtstrend und bestätigt damit den leichten Aufwärtstrend im Preis seit November. Die Stochastik befand sich im Extrembereich und hat gestern up gedreht. Dieser bullishe Eindruck wird durch einen klassischen Morningstar bei den Tageskerzen komplettiert.
Fazit: Die beste Longchance seit Wochen! Garantien gibt es aber natürlich nicht ;-)
Sorry Metro, aber der Sentiment Index von Mark Hulbert (Marketwatch) besagt da eher das Gegenteil.
On my interpretation of contrarian analysis, therefore, odds are that the bear market has more work to complete on the downside before the bottoming process is likely to be over.


Rally Failure
by Carl Swenlin
January 16, 2009
In my January 2 article I pointed out that the stock market was overbought by bear market standards, but that the rally had plenty of internal room for prices to expand upward if bullish forces were to persist. There was a brief rally and a small breakout, but then the rally failed, breaking down from an ascending wedge formation. I wasn't really expecting a bullish resolution, but one must keep an open mind when appropriate conditions appear.
On the chart below you can see the short-term declining tops line through which the breakout occurred. Instead of a buying opportunity, it was a bull trap. At this point we must assume that the November low will be tested. Note also that the PMO has crossed down through its 10-EMA, generating a sell signal.

The weekly chart below gives a better perspective, I think. It shows how aggressive the current down move is compared to the price activity that precedes it. Also, the PMO has topped below its moving average, a bearish sign. Prices are once again approaching the long-term support drawn from the 2002 lows. A successful retest could set up a double bottom from which another intermediate-term rally could launch, but in a bear market we shouldn't bet on that outcome.

For many months I have been emphasizing that our analysis should be biased toward bearish outcomes because we are operating in the longer-term context of a bear market. The tide is going out and it is foolish to try to swim against it. In a much broader context, we are in the midst of a global debt collapse that is only in the beginning stages. I find it impossible to imagine economic circumstances in the immediate future that would be even remotely favorable to stocks.
Bottom Line: In a bull market overbought conditions most often result in small corrections, consolidations, or deceleration of the up trend. In a bear market overbought conditions are usually a sign that a price top is at hand. Because the most recent overbought event has resulted in a price top, I think we can safely assume that the bear has not retreated.

In his 1958 book The Affluent Society, economist J.K. Galbraith described how, for the first time in history, people had far more than they needed. Where ordinary people had once made do with a single set of clothes, in the affluent society, people had a closet-full. Cars were replaced, not because they didn't work, but because their fenders were the wrong shape.
This is the time for wise governments to invest in things that will make the economy work better once the mood changes. Education, public infrastructure, support for research and development, seed money for technology and other business startups.
Galbraith pointed out that those who stepped out of the rat race of consumerism — a rare few — would find they could live comfortable lives on much lower incomes.
This is why lower interest rates and tax cuts have little hope of forcing consumers to spend. During boom times, lower rates and tax cuts can do much to pump up an already-strong economy. When the propensity to consume is strong and animals spirits high, people are happy to bid up the price of assets, take risks on new investments and spend money on cars and houses with too many bathrooms.
Dublin Bus to cut 290 jobs, drops 120 buses
290 jobs are to lost at Dublin Bus as part of the company's cost cutting measures. 120 buses will also be withdrawn from the fleet. The company said the cuts were due to the challenging economic environment.
In 2007, the company made a profit of almost €5m, but in 2008 it lost €10m and those losses are projected to rise to more than €30m this year.
Dublin Bus said no routes will be removed but that some services would be amalgamated and that the frequency of buses would be adjusted in some areas.
It said the cutbacks will have as little impact as possible on the travelling public.
The new plans are due to come into effect in March and Dublin Bus said it will inform the public about the changes in the run-up to that.
The 290 job losses will happen across all grades at the bus company. 160 of these will be compulsory redundancies.
But the NBRU and SIPTU have said they will oppose any compulsory redundancies and work to protect jobs. The unions said they will consider these and other cost cutting proposals in the coming days.
An NBRU statement said any attempt to impose compulsory job cuts was 'totally unacceptable' and would be resisted. It also said the cuts would affect services for vulnerable groups and force more motorists on to the roads.
'The Government is forcing people back into cars. It is only six months ago that the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport was recommending an additional 350 buses to ease congestion in Dublin.
'These proposals are also socially retrograde. They will effectively deny access to any sort of transport to those who cannot afford a car and live in areas facing the loss of routes.
'Effectively old age pensioners, school children and the growing numbers of unemployed will be left stranded in some parts of Dublin
