Daily Video Update: China buys US corn … is there enough to go around?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 21st of August.

The MarketClub Trade Triangles have been scoring some big gains in the grain markets this year. In fact, the grain markets we track in our World Cup Portfolio have been knocking it out of the park with positive double-digit returns.

Is now a good time to get into the grain markets? Well, it's never too late, but you must have a game plan and that's where the World Cup Portfolio comes in. As a member MarketClub you have complete access to this portfolio every single day.

Today's tip: Get ready for inflation!

One thing to remember about Tuesday is it can often signal a reversal in the markets, especially after a run up in prices.

Now, let's analyze the major markets and stocks on the move using MarketClub's Trade Triangle Technology.

Daily Video Update : Is a market correction ahead or is this market going to make it seven weeks in a row?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 20th of August.

The US equity markets have closed higher six weeks in a row. While this is not an impossible feat, it is rather unusual to see a market move higher six weeks in a row without seeing some sort of correction. We think one of the reasons the markets have moved higher is very light volume.

We still have all the problems we had before, Europe, the elections coming up in November, China slowing down, and none of this is going away anytime soon. So is this week going to end up higher, or are we going to close lower for the week? We are skeptical the market can stitch together seven weeks of higher closing in a row given the proximity of major resistance at the April highs.

Daily Update: How many ways can Europe kick the can down the road?

Due to technical difficulties we will not be posting a video today.

Hello MarketClub members everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market report for Friday, the 17th of August.

Yesterday the markets shrugged off negative news and focused on the comments from German Chancellor, Angela Merkel. Ms. Merkel, who just returned from vacation, has somehow miraculously endorsed the European Central Bank’s conditional support for Spain and Italy. On the other side of the coin, a Finnish official has suggested that Euro zone leaders are preparing for the worst, including a possible breakup of the currency bloc.

Upon further inspection, Ms. Merkel's statements of support leave room for a great deal of interpretation. We see it quite simply as delay, delay, delay, and yet another way for politicians to kick the can down the road.

Daily Video Update: Mixed economic signals, signal a market that is seeking direction

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 15th of August.

I have no trend, I have no trend, seems to be this markets mantra at the moment. It would appear as every time we have positive news for the market, we have negative news that follows which pretty much negates all of the positive news. That seems to be the major theme for August. Take today for example.

(GOOD NEWS) Industrial Production in US Rises 0.6% on Autos, Utilities
(GOOD NEWS) Home builder Confidence in US Increases to Five-Year High

(BAD NEWS) Staples Net Falls 32% on Weak International Sales; Cuts Year View
(BAD NEWS) Slipping international sales zap Deere 3rd-qtr earnings

I could go on, but I think you get the picture.

Eventually, the stalemate will be over and the market will resume in a direction for more than one day. We are relying on our Trade Triangle Technology as we know mathematically that the odds are on our side when we use this approach. I hope you were able to catch yesterday's video as we highlighted a major stock, and I stepped you through every signal since 2004! The results speak for themselves.

Stay tuned to today as I have a special surprise for all MarketClub Members that will come at the end of today's video.

Daily Video Update: Where do we go from here?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 14th of August.

At the moment there appears to be a lack of conviction by both the bulls and the bears to move this market one way or another. This indecision has also registered in our Trade Triangle technology with many of the major markets now indicating a sideways to mixed trend.

It has been this way for quite some time and I think it is wearing a lot of investors and traders down. Normally, when you have indecision like we are witnessing in the markets they are usually preparing for some big moves later in the year. The big moves may begin after Labor Day, when many traders and investors return from their summer hiatus. Also, it should noted that volume has been extremely light in many of the markets which underscores the lack of participation by both the public and professional traders.

We are also going to be looking at a buy and hold strategy compared to a strategy using MarketClub's Trade Triangle Technology. It's on a major stock that everyone knows. The results may surprise you so stay tuned.
