Daily Video Update: Thursday was a disaster for the bulls

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 22nd of June.

Make no mistake about it, Thursday was a disaster for the bulls in the equity markets. Watching crude oil fall below $80 a barrel and seeing gold crashing down, it was difficult to see what was going to keep stocks higher for the day. Yesterday's stock crash was a huge blow to the bullish case for stocks. As you know, our long-term monthly Trade Triangle has stayed negative on the equity markets and remains negative. We are now lower for the week in the S&P 500, the DOW and the NASDAQ. A flat to mediocre close today will be indicative of more pressure on the equity markets next week.

Gold is flat for the year and shows no indication of turning around anytime soon. Crude oil is also down on the year and is not closing well on the weekly charts. Continue reading "Daily Video Update: Thursday was a disaster for the bulls"

Daily Video Update: What does the "D" word mean to you?

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

Well, it could mean Dimone as in Jamie Dimone from Citibank, or it could mean Depression as in world, or it could mean Deflation. The question is, are the markets moving into what appears to be a deflationary cycle? With the continued weakness in crude oil and gold, it all points to less demand in the world markets for oil. And with gold down almost $40 today, it says that investors are fleeing what was a hedge against inflation. The Reuters/Jeffries CRB Index is now at its lowest level in over 22 months, yet another sign that we are in a deflationary environment.

As an investor/trader, what can you do? Continue reading "Daily Video Update: What does the "D" word mean to you?"

Daily Video Update: Is it my imagination or did the Greeks just kick the can down the road again?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 18th of June.

While the eyes of the world were glued to the Greek elections, another election took place halfway across the world in Egypt. The outcome of that election could have far greater consequences to Western society than a little country in southern Europe.

I am, of course, talking about the potential for war between the Muslims and the Jews over Israel. This would not be a good thing for anyone. At no time in my career have I seen so many conflicting elements around the world, all of which portend to big changes in the markets.

Daily Video Update: Here is my predication for the elections in Greece this weekend

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

No matter what happens this weekend, it will not be good in Greece. They could either have a complete election stalemate, or the Greeks could vote to reject austerity, which means disaster. Ask yourself this question: who in their right mind would vote to have something taken away from them?

In all my years in the market, I don't believe anyone has seen anything quite like this before. It is certainly different this time. What does any good politicians do during this particular financial Armageddon that's continuing to build? They kick the can down the road, of course. What the world needs more than anything, in my humble opinion, are some real leaders to step up to the plate and figure out what has to be done. Let's face it, the Euro zone was flawed before it began. Continue reading "Daily Video Update: Here is my predication for the elections in Greece this weekend"
