Today's Video Newsletter: I have two major concerns today

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 25th of February.

In addition to the markets we normally report on, we will also be looking at the following markets using our Trade Triangle technology.

#1 MAJOR CONCERN
My number one concern, much like everyone else here in America, is the sequester on March 1st. This date is rapidly approaching and neither the Democrats nor the Republicans seem ready to compromise on this major challenge. The game of political chicken has been lifted to a whole new level of brinkmanship here the US. I am not sure that is in the best interest of the markets or the country. With the DOW and the NASDAQ indecisive at the moment, investors are losing confidence as they still feel shaky and have strong memories of 2008. Only the S&P remains in a positive mode and this is the one to watch carefully, in my opinion. Should this index breakdown and start moving lower, investors are likely to bolt for the exit doors.

In addition to the markets we normally report on, we will also be looking at the following markets using our Trade Triangle technology.

GOD BLESS MEG ...
Is Meg Whitman going to create a miracle with Hewlett-Packard (HPQ)? Yesterday, HP announced its earnings and while its profits were dramatically lower, it was not as bad as most analysts had expected. But here's the interesting news, technically HP appears to be making a base in which to move higher. The key level we are watching for the rest of the month is $17.50. Should HP stock move over this level, all of our Trade Triangles will turn green. If this happens, and it is a big "if", the major downtrend for HP will have finally reversed its three year decline. We will be looking at HP stock today using our Trade Triangle technology. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: God Bless Meg … AIG finally makes a profit and ABBONDANZA!"

Today's Video Newsletter: A Snake, an iWatch and the State of the Union

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 11th of February.

2013-THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE
Yesterday was the beginning of Chinese New Year, the year of the snake. Traditionally, the Chinese set off fireworks to mark this holiday and celebrations take place throughout China. This year, sales of fireworks were 37% less than in previous years. This was said to reflect a government appeal to ignite fewer fireworks to avoid more pollution in the cities. The year of the snake means it's going to be a year of steady progress, focus and discipline for the nation of China. Given the crazy world that we are living in, steady progress, focus and discipline are not a bad way to go IMHO.
