Daily Video Update: America doesn't run on gold, it runs on …

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 9th of October.

Have you ever try stuffing a gold bar in your fuel tank?

I am sure you haven't, and that is the point I want to make today. America runs on number two diesel fuel, not on gold bars. Without fuel, America's economy is dead in the water.

Every year the world needs more and more energy. China and India provide good examples as the working class are moving from bicycles to mopeds and in some cases, even cars. All this upward mobility takes energy, and the energy for now is petroleum based.

India and China have a combined population of 2.9 billion, representing 36% of the world's population. To put that in perspective, that is 9.2 times the size of the United States.

And here's the wild card, and it's a big one: "The Middle East". What is going to happen in the most unstable part of the world? Any major disruption in that area will cause oil prices to skyrocket. Continue reading "Daily Video Update: America doesn't run on gold, it runs on …"

Daily Video Update: The biggest job killer is …

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 8th of October.

I've been thinking about this for a while and decided today was the perfect day to put my thoughts in writing...

I think the Internet is a job killer and not a job creator.

Here are my reasons why:

A relatively small number of staff can run a multibillion dollar company. For example, FaceBook only has 3,000 employees. Compare that to General Motors, who currently employs 202,000 folks.

Amazon, another name that is ubiquitous on the internet, has only 69,100 employees. Now compare that to traditional retailers that have millions of employees in malls across the country. More and more Americans are turning to to shop online because of its convenience and that could be the demise of many jobs in traditional shopping outlets. For example, Circuit City could not complete in the new world and quickly fell prey to the Internet. Is Best Buy the next company to throw in the towel?

Apple, the most valuable company in the world, even with its retail outlets, still only employs less than 65,000 Americans. However, Apple in China through a company called Foxconn has over 400,000 Chinese working to make iPhones, iPads, and practically everything "i" for Apple. You can only wonder what kind of impact almost half a million manufacturing jobs would have in the US. Think about what it could do for our economy.

America has to rethink, reset, readjust and retool if it is going to get serious about creating jobs in the new global internet world. Countries, including the United States, cannot just rely on past successes. History has proven time and time again that a country resting on its laurels soon becomes a country in trouble.

Deepwater Service Stocks Are Tapping the Supercycle Sweet Spot: Elliott Gue

The Energy Report: A lot has happened in the energy markets since your last interview. What are the most significant changes in the space?

Elliott Gue: The Gulf oil spill in May 2010 and the Fukushima event in March 2011 were the two most pivotal events of the past two years. The repercussions of the Gulf spill extended for over a year. Fukushima dramatically changed the policy toward nuclear energy in Japan and in Germany and caused a surge in global natural gas prices due to increased Japanese demand, Japan having suddenly lost about 30% of its power. Japan has since built new natural gas plants, which are the only plants that can be brought onstream very quickly to generate large amounts of power.
