Is The Market Ready For A Rally?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Updated with video from Adam at 5:16 EST.

Hello traders everywhere!  Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Tuesday, the 30th of August.

The equity markets put in a very strong performance yesterday, pushing to their best levels since August 5th.  We would not be surprised to see this very overbought market possibly rally to the 1230 area and 1250 zone.

The gold market once again bounced over the $1,800 an ounce hurdle and is currently trading at $1,822.  This market needs to regroup further if it is going to challenge the $2000 level.  The trend is in a positive mode despite the recent $200 pullback.

Crude oil is now very much overbought and approaching the upper levels of the Donchian trading channel.  We expect that this channel and the fact that this market is overbought will provide enough resistance to any halt any further upside action.

The dollar index continues to bounce off the support level of 73.50 which we have outlined on numerous occasions.  Currently this market is trading at 74.00.

The CRB index has rallied quite dramatically after making a low on August 9th.  This market is largely reflective of the move in crude oil.

Now, let's go to the 6 major markets we track every day and see how we can create and maintain your wealth in 2011. Continue reading "Is The Market Ready For A Rally?" →

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere!  Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Monday, the 29th of August.

It is hard to believe, but I am actually sitting in a Starbucks coffee shop writing this report. Irene certainly did her damage on the East Coast, and we like millions of other folks are without power today.  It would appear that we were lucky with the hurricane, as many other folks were affected much more than us.

We are running on generator power at our headquarters in Maryland, however many of our staff on working from home today because of Irene.
Watch this weekends video here.
So let's look at the markets, and see what's going on.  The equity markets are now approaching the highs that they put in about a week ago and are quickly reaching an overbought condition. Continue reading "Here's your daily update direct from Starbucks, thanks to Irene" →

Weekend Update for 8/26 - Don't Worry Warren Buffett will lend you money at 11%

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello fellow traders everywhere. Adam Hewison here co-founder of MarketClub with your weekend update for the trading week ending on 8/26/11.

The major spin last week was the fact that Warren Buffett lent Bank of America $5 billion. But Warren is no fool,  who wouldn't want to get 11% on their investment guaranteed. Well, that's pretty much what Warren got with Bank of America.

So what does that tell us, (1) that Warren is a very shrewd and hard nosed investor, and (2) Bank of America is in serious trouble, and is willing to pay that kind of interest for new funds. Just think about it, you only get 2% on a 10 year treasury.

It remains to be seen whether or not Bank of America is a good stock.  Right now our Trade Triangle technology still indicates that the trend is down and has been for quite some time. If you are a member of MarketClub you can clearly see this on the charts where our Trade Triangles indicate exits or short sales. Sorry Warren, as we do not yet have 5 billion dollars to invest, we are sticking with our tried and true Trade Triangle approach to the markets

So let's look at the markets and see what happened last week: Continue reading "Weekend Update for 8/26 - Don't Worry Warren Buffett will lend you money at 11%" →

Hello traders everywhere!  Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Friday, the 26th of August.

It has been quite a week here in the Northeast, where MarketClub and INO.com are located.  We had an earthquake on Tuesday measuring 5.8, which by our standards is huge!  And if that were not enough, we are batting down the hatches as it looks like we are going to get slammed by hurricane Irene.

It makes the volatility in the markets look like a cake walk.

Let's see how the markets are playing out and go to the 6 major markets we track every day. Continue reading "It Has Been Quite A Week" →
