Bernanke Blinks And Addiction Goes On

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 19th of September.

I have been saying for some time that the Fed is not going to do anything until January 2014, when there will be a change in the chairmanship. It goes back to that fundamental human trait of "wanting everyone to like me." I think Ben Bernanke wants to be seen as a benevolent Fed chairman when he retires in 2014. This is classic Washington politics, where the Fed chairman gives a very gracious speech saying that it's been a challenge and he enjoyed his time as chairman of the Fed, but he'll leave out the part where it's not his problem now.

Whoever becomes the next Fed chairperson will face monumental challenges trying to extricate the country out of this spending binge and gluttony of cheap money. I suspect that had the Fed known they would be no further forward in 2014 when they took this quantitative easing course four years ago, they would have chosen another course of action to stimulate the economy.

Here is a quick question for you, how many zeros are in $1 trillion? Continue reading "Bernanke Blinks And Addiction Goes On" →

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 16th of September.

News that Larry Summers was withdrawing his name for consideration as the next Fed chairman sent stocks soaring overnight in Asia and Europe. When the US markets opened, it followed through and helped push many stocks to new highs. Today I will be looking at the indices and certain stocks that I think are worthy of your consideration.

I will also be looking at Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Pandora Media (NASDAQ:P). Can they still grow and make money? Continue reading "Stocks Soar With Summers' Exit" →

Apple Tanks and The NASDAQ Sinks

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 11th of September.

There is no question about it, most analysts did not like Apple's press conference yesterday and viewed it as a very disappointing event.

But what really happened? Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) came out with some stellar upgrades such as moving to 64bit architecture and software updates in what I consider to be the best operating system on the planet for mobile. They also unveiled a fingerprint technology that reaches a whole new level of security and puts Apple way ahead of most companies. I think this type of technology could be a Trojan horse for Apple in the corporate world. It also opens up a whole new market for Apple where security is essential, for example, think of online banking transactions. If that was not enough, Apple is also giving away their iWork software to new iPhone buyers. Continue reading "Apple Tanks and The NASDAQ Sinks" →

7 ETFs To Buy Today

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 9th of September.

Finding winning trades among literally thousands of stocks used to be difficult and time consuming. Now, thanks to high-speed computers, that task is so much easier. One of the many things I like about MarketCub is its ability to sort through thousands of symbols with just a few mouse clicks.

nasPersonally, I like to see ETFs that have good volume and I do not trade in markets that trade less than a hundred thousand shares a day. It is too easy for a market like that to be manipulated by a few players. Like everybody else, I don't like to be manipulated.

Today, I found seven ETFs that show potential buy signals using our Trade Triangle and Smart Scan technology. I'll show you how I used our scanning tools and share with you what ETFs I found in this video. Who knows? These ETFs could be just right for your portfolio. Continue reading "7 ETFs To Buy Today" →

Weekly Gold Report September 9th through September 13th

While the week ahead is light on economic data in the United States, the most important news that will affect global markets will still come out of the United States. Traders around the globe will look to trade any news from the White House on whether or not the US will go through with a strike on Syria.

After watching President Obama stumble through the G20 Summit last week, it will be interesting to see if the staff that writes the Presidents speeches can be convincing enough this week as Obama will look for support in the US. So far it appears that his only true International support is out of France where Socialist, Hollande stands firmly behind anything Obama says. Within the US borders, it also seems the Presidents support is drying up day after day. Continue reading "Gold Chart of The Week" →
