Lending A Helping Hand - INO Cares Follow Up

INO.com Staff - Rebuilding TogetherMother of three and Jamaican immigrant, Ms. Angie, had recently run into some hard times. After being laid-off, home repairs were stacking up and money, ability and a poorly run condo association were all fighting against her. Ms. Angie reached out to Rebuilding Together and asked for a little help to fix a leaky basement, repair below par windows, correct previous repair mistakes and to give her home a little bit of love to make it a residence that she and her children could be proud of.

A few INO.com staff members met up with the Rebuilding Together crew on a sunny day in Severn, Maryland to lend a helping hand. We went to work with some staff of RBC Wealth Management and with dedicated members of Building Together of Anne Arundel County's executive board, on various repair project around Ms. Angie's home and were blessed to spend a Saturday making someone's life a little better.

Please enjoy Rebuilding Together's slideshow of the home improvements that were made that day for Ms. Angie. Learn more about Rebuilding Together from our previous blog post and how you can find a project in your community.

You can also friend our Facebook page and see a ton of photos from the day of INO.com employees getting their hands dirty!

Pigs no Longer Fly; What Are the Implications?

Along with the highly publicized loss of leadership from big tech, the US stock market is now in danger of losing another, and possibly more important leader, the piggies or banking sector.

While the weekly chart of BKX has not yet broken down, it is very close to doing so after sporting a negative RSI divergence for the better part of the last year. We should not jump the gun with bearish scenarios, but as always we want to be among those looking forward and ready, just like in 2007, which was the last time BKX-SPX began to roll over in earnest.

NFTRH has followed the BKX-SPX (leadership) ratio every step of the way during the current leg of the cyclical stock bull market. Most recently we noted that BKX-SPX failed to make higher highs on two occasions. This put the ratio – and by extension the stock market – on alert as we watched for a lower low.  Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to a lower low.

One Sentiment Gauge in Europe Reaches Epic Proportion

A visual history of complacency and fear as seen by the 10-year spread over German Bunds

By: Elliott Wave International

The one-two punch 2014 winter storms that battered the southeastern United States left $13.5 million in damages in Georgia alone and thousands of residents displaced due to burst pipes and power outages. I am one of the displaced. Three months after the flood, I'm still living out of suitcases in a hotel while my apartment gets rebuilt.

I'm ashamed to admit before Icepocalypse, I had the least comprehensive homeowner's insurance. Why bother, I thought. This is Atlanta. The only blizzard this city's seen in the last decade is on the dessert menu at Dairy Queen.

But now, you better believe the first thing I'm going to do when I move back in is upgrade my policy to cover all and any acts of man and God -- fire, tornado, sharknado, alien invasion, you name it.

It's human nature. You can never truly prepare for the worst until you experience it first-hand. Then, and only then, do you go above and beyond to protect your health and welfare. Continue reading "One Sentiment Gauge in Europe Reaches Epic Proportion"

Chart of The Week - Corn

Each Week Longleaftrading.com will be providing us a chart of the week as analyzed by a member of their team. We hope that you enjoy and learn from this new feature.

As we begin the 2014 planting season, our attention turns to the September 2014 Corn Options. September Corn futures (CBOT:ZC.U14.E) have started out well, supported by a report last week that the crop is already slightly behind in planted acreage (6% vs. 9% estimated). Opening the new week, we see a cool and rainy forecast across the Midwest along with severe weather. We are currently seeing up to 5 inches of rainfall expected over half of the Midwest.

Due to the weather forecast, the planting pace is likely to slow down dramatically this weekend and next week. The 10-year average plating pace for Illinois by April 28th is a little under 40%, while Indiana and Iowa are both about 30%. Historically speaking, we are well behind as plantings could reach near 20% for Monday's update but stall at this figure for the week due to weather delays. The recent weather has added support to the Corn futures, and any further delays should make the price rally considerably.

Since the start of the new year we have been in a strong up-trend in the Corn market. Continue reading "Chart of The Week - Corn"
