Are You Buying This Pullback In Stocks?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

After hitting the magical 17,000 level just around the time America was celebrating our country's 238th birthday, stocks and indexes have seen a pullback on quiet volume. The question is, are you seeing this as a buying opportunity?

In today's video, I will be looking at the major markets, a couple of stocks, and gold (FOREX:XAUUSDO), which I still believe is going to move higher. I will also be examining what's going on in crude oil and the Dollar.

If you missed my post yesterday on our two winning portfolios, you may want to check it out.

As always, we welcome your feedback on this video or any markets that you are following.

Have a great trading day everyone,

Time To Buy Gold

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Yesterday, the spot gold market flashed a major trend change to the upside. Major trend changes do not occur that often and when they do I like to pay close attention to them. The signal came in at $1,331.45, and even though gold is now lower than that point, it is still a valid signal.

With all the Trade Triangles now positive and the fact that we are seeing a pullback today in gold (FOREX:XAUUSDO), this may be an ideal time to get long gold in the ETF SPDR Gold Shares (PACF:GLD), a leveraged ETF, or in futures.

The current pullback on the intraday 15-minute chart puts this market back into a Fibonacci support area which should offer good support. With the long Fourth of July weekend, I do not expect anybody will want to be short this market going in to the weekend. I expect to see some recovery later today from the lows seen this morning.

There are no guarantees in trading, but with all of the Trade Triangles positive on gold, I feel this is a fairly low risk trade on the upside. As always, you should protect your position with money management stops. If you'd like to learn more about money management stops, you can read about them here.

How To Avoid Dead Fish In Q3

Posted on by The INO.com Team

One of the most important tools that a trader possesses is his or her mind. Attitude can either make or break you as a trader.

To become a successful trader, it begins with believing in yourself and having a winning attitude. Everyone wants to be a winner, at least they think so. Unfortunately, most are not willing to perform the tasks necessary to become a consistent winner.

Winners generally achieve success by being focused on a goal. Being focused allows winners to remain committed to the tasks at hand. Most winners perform a lot of hard work, including a willingness to deal with sometimes mundane duties. Most of all, winners perform with an "I am responsible for both my failures and successes" attitude.

So, where does the would-be trader start to become a success? Continue reading "How To Avoid Dead Fish In Q3" →

Is This Stock Ready To Pop?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

I was looking over the charts this past weekend and noticed one stock that I wanted to bring to your attention. There are two reasons why I think this stock is worth a look.

1. There was a new monthly Trade Triangle signal on June 27th at $48.04.

2. I like the formation. This chart has a "W" formation, which normally occurs at the bottom of a move and signals a reversal. In this case, it would look as though once we close over $48 a share, we could see a quick pop up to $50.

The stock I am referring to is Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (NYSE:CCE), traded on the New York stock exchange. This is a large company and has been around for a long time. While not usually considered a hot stock, the formation is undeniable. As with any position, you should always be using money management stops.

Another part of this formation I like is the classic Fibonacci retracement of 60%, that was again tested on June 13th and it held. Continue reading "Is This Stock Ready To Pop?" →

Another Way to Play the Upcoming Energy Crisis

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Yesterday I talked about Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and how this company could skyrocket based on the potential high prices at the pump and the potential lack of availability of petroleum products.

Today I am going to be taking a similar view, but with a different company, First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR). When this company first came on the scene, it moved dramatically higher and in a matter of months was trading well over $300 a share, back in 2008. Since that time, the stock has generally drifted lower for the last several years until hitting a low in June of 2012. After trading below $12, the market has made a steady recovery to where we are today, around $70 a share. I certainly hope no one out there has been holding onto any shares since $300.

I am bullish on FSLR based on a number of factors. The Trade Triangles are all positive, we are in a strong uptrend, and this market could complete a classic Fibonacci retracement that would take it back over the $100 a share level. This stock has also shown a remarkable cyclic tendency and we are presently in a cyclic up-cycle right now.

As I stated in my piece on Tesla, the energy problem is going to remain and probably will deteriorate as the Middle East could go down in flames.

1. Cyclic high periods
2. Cyclic low periods
3. Fibonacci target zone between $94 and $113
