Reporting the Stock Market
The stock market is a wonderful place to play with your money. A good investment can change your finances so drastically; you will have a hard time recognizing it yourself. At the same time, a small mistake can actually cost you more than you are willing to risk.
The problem is if you do not know which stocks to look for and how to approach these while limiting your risk, you would not be able to get considerable profits.
The best way of going about this is to watch out for stock market reports.
The stock market report contains technical and fundamental analysis used by brokers and professional investors. They use this to interpret the direction and valuation of equity markets or stocks.
The report provides a synopsis of the stock market from different points-of-view. They contain charts and texts of daily data of the performance of stocks in the market allowing traders to evaluate their stock portfolio.
They provide long-term views on certain stocks, predictions on how stocks will perform over the course of a day, weeks or even a year. They also provide reports on certain factors that will affect the performance of these stocks.
Stock market reports are provided by a lot of sources. Brokers provide their clients special reports of certain stocks currently in the market. This allows their clients to make decisions with regards to then buying and selling of stocks.
Certain brokerage services also provide these reports for subscription. Most of these contain stock picks for active trading or long-term investments. Other tips offered are entry and exit strategies, stock market commentaries, analysis, trading and investigation education.
Analysis of the stock market is also provided in business programs in television, cable, and newsprint as well as online portals.
Business programs in cable provide the most current and up-to-date information on stock performance. Reports are made on gainers and losers throughout the trading hours.
Online portals providing financial reports and stock market analysis are also good sources of stock performance information.
Much of the information you will need over the course of your trading experience will come from stock market reports. So it is best to choose a good source of these reports for yourself. Reputable institutions will provide you the best information in the market.
Keeping yourself well-informed with stock market reports will provide you the best chance of making the most out of your trading. It will give you a more definite and clear view on the stock market and enable you to make intelligent decisions with minimal risk.

Help me understand stock market reporting.?
When business media reports on the stock market, they say things like "the market doesn’t like this" or "the market liked that." How do they really know what "the market" liked and why it went up or down?
I’ve never heard them say ‘the market liked that’.

It’s an educated guess. It’s correlation and they’re ascribing to it causation because they have nothing better to pin it on. And I think, for the most part, it’s a safe assumption; people trade their money based on the confidence they have in the return. If they see something that makes it look like they’re going to lose their money, they’re not interested in investing.

The "market" is a very broad based term that can refer to equity markets like NYSE or NASDAQ, the bond market, option, or futures etc…
For expediency purposes the media often times tries to explain why the broad based averages (i.e. DOW or Nasdaq Composite) move up or down based upon one or two criteria, such as "job loss" or "home starts" reports. Usually something occurs in the news the media can cite was the cause for the move.
In some cases there is simply no real clear reason why the market is moving in one direction or the other. Other times the reasons are more clear. (e.g. this week when Geithner unveiled the bank plan the equity markets sold off dramatically almost exactly when he began to speak. Nothing else was going on that time of day so it is probably safe to assume the large traders in equity securities were influenced largely by Geithner’s comments and not something else.
This is an inexact science and the media does its best to encapsulate for its listeners the major reasons why the equity markets moved one way or the other.
