Daily Video Update: All eyes turn to Apple today, and the Fed tomorrow

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 12th of September.

The big news today is Apple and the possible launch of the new iPhone5. Is this going to be enough to spark the GDP as some have suggested? And in turn, propel the NASDAQ, the DOW and the S&P 500 to new highs?

In other big news today, the German court allowed ratification of the bailout fund with conditions. That positive news out of Germany was enough to raise European shares to 14-month highs.

We still believe that Greece is going to exit the Euro and we still believe that Spain and Italy have problems that have yet to be faced. If interest rates are held down, perhaps they can squeeze by, but the austerity measures are going to be hard to live with for some of these countries.

Are Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve going to begin inflating the economy again with another QE program? This would be QE3, and the market seems to be banking on that possibility and more positive news out of the Fed. As we mentioned yesterday, the charts are telling us that something big and positive is going to happen, it's only a question of when. If the third stimulus is approved, that's what is going to propel the markets to move to new highs.

Daily Video Update: Is the glass half full or half empty?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 10th of September.

My question has always been, who is the glass maker? ( China? )

Over the weekend the legendary currency speculator, George Soros, shared with everyone his ideas on the Euro crisis. Mr. Soros indicated that Germany is the problem and needs to compromise big time with its Euro partners. That remains to be seen, as the German court will vote on Wednesday on what Germany can and cannot do.

This week should be packed with news coming out of Europe, and we could have the Fed making a QE decision later this week.

One thing is clear, INFLATION is on its way. That is the reason gold, silver, and copper are all headed higher and in the early stages of a bull market.

Daily Video Update: You must work 6 days a week now … that's an order!

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 5th of September.

In a leaked letter, the European Commission, European Central Bank, and International Monetary Fund are calling for Athens to implement a six day work week as part of a bailout agreement. Sounds great on paper, but how would you like to be the people of Greece? No country, including Greece, enjoys being dictated to by an outside power. Make no mistake about it, Greece is going to have to drop out of the Eurozone.

Tomorrow all eyes will be on the ECB chairman, Mario Draghi, as he announces the details of his bond buying program. If it is deemed not enough, the markets will tank.

More bad news for the US, the World Economic Forum (WEF) released on Wednesday that the US had slipped two spots in global competitiveness. This marks the fourth year in a row that the US has moved down. Last year, the US was ranked fifth in the world and now it is ranked seventh in terms of global competitiveness. Not good news!

Daily Video Update: Welcome to September -- Game on!

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 4th of September.

This week should be quite a week. We have Merkle, Monti and the ECB stepping up and coming into focus this week. ECB Bank Pres. Mario Draghi is quoted as saying that he is comfortable helping to buy three-year government bonds to help struggling nations help fund themselves.

But guess what, it all gets down to market perception. Perception is something that politicians have not quite mastered. It is important to understand traders perception and what traders expect will happen in the future.

The perception in the precious metal markets is indicating that inflation is on its way and both the price of silver and gold should climb climb substantially in the weeks and months ahead. Technically that is what the markets are also telling us.

As we mentioned earlier, it all gets down to perception.

Perception is a powerful market force and is difficult to measure and track on a chart. However, it is a force that must be reckoned with by traders and politicians everywhere.

Daily Video Update: Bernanke speaks …Thank goodness that's over!

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 31st of August.

Well, it's the last trading day of the month and judging by the volume this month, hasn't been a particularly great month for anyone. Looks like stocks are going to close out August with a 2% gain on the S&P 500. More interestingly the gold market is up over 4% for the month!

It seems as though the markets are saying in gold we trust and not Bernanke.

When everyone returns from their Labor Day weekend, we expect the markets to have more volume and activity. At the moment, August will go in the books as one of the lowest volume months ever!

When we return in September the market will be fixated on the ECB and what Mario Draghi and Europe may or may not do.

That is what I love about the markets, they are never boring.

To all our American members and readers, enjoy a safe and happy Labor Day.
