There Will Be No Santa Claus Rally This Year

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere! Every December it's the same tune, the "Santa Claus Rally." That happens when the market rallies and closes close to or at its best levels for the year. I for one am not sure that is going to take place this year, and here's the reason why.

Late last night, I think it was about 12:30AM, I posted on our member blog that Friday could turn real ugly! I came to that conclusion based on yesterday's market action which had to disappoint the bulls with the weak market close. Couple yesterday's market action with the action we saw on Wednesday and you can put together a composite picture of just how this market is beginning to fall on its own weight. Should the S&P 500 close lower today, it will be the biggest weekly loss in over two months, not a good sign.

One of the key areas I'm are watching today on the NASDAQ is 4,653. Should this level be broken and I expect it will be, that will put all three of the indices in a trading range indicating that intermediate-term traders should be on the sidelines. This analysis dovetails very well with my December view of the markets. Continue reading "There Will Be No Santa Claus Rally This Year" →

5 Major Stocks In Major Trouble

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere! At the beginning of December I published a post titled, "December Can Be A Dangerous Month For Traders." It looks like that prediction is coming true as we are seeing increasing volatility not just in stocks, but in the broad indices as well.

In today's video, I'm going to be looking at five major stocks that are in major trouble, in my opinion. These are all well-known stocks that have, at one time, been the darling of investors' portfolios. I have always believed in Newton's Law of Gravity and it would appear as though these five stocks are coming back down to earth.

I'm going to start off with perhaps the biggest name, it is a service I use every day as I am sure you do too, and that is Google, Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG). Continue reading "5 Major Stocks In Major Trouble" →

The Looming Greek Disaster

Posted on by The INO.com Team

How do you spell Greece? D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R

Remember Greece? Yes, that's the very same country that created all the problems for the world's economies back in 2008. Well, Greece is back and the problems could be even greater this time. I'm not sure who it was who said this, but it has been said that you don't solve debt problems by piling more debt on to more debt. I agree, but that is exactly what the world has been doing since 2009.

In every great challenge there are great opportunities and 2015 could be one of those extraordinary years when smart investors can do very, very well. I don't think it's going be on the long side of the market, however. I think this bull market that has been going on for six years is about to come to a screeching halt as reality finally sinks in and we begin to pay for the folly of our deeds.

Is The Market At A Tipping Point?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere! There's no doubt about it, this bull market which began in Q1 of 2009 is getting a bit long in the tooth and may be setting itself up for a correction in 2015. If that's the case, we could see gold (FOREX:XAUUSDO) once again come into fashion as I believe it is building a base to do just that.

Sandy, a valued MarketClub member, asked me to start looking at some shorting opportunities in the stock market. Some of you may never have traded stocks from the short side before, but it can be likened to buying stocks, only in reverse.

It seems like now would be a good time to bring this up, particularly with my thoughts turning more and more to 2015. I'm going to be looking at several stocks that I believe will to continue to erode and offer trading opportunities on the short side of the market.

3 Banks Stocks That You Should Be On Your Radar

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere! Today, I'm going to look at three banking stocks that flashed buy alerts last Friday. Recently, the bank stocks have been on a tear. For the past two years, they have all been moving higher, but now they seem to have begun an accelerated phase to the upside which could be their last move.

The stocks I'll be looking at today are JP Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), The Goldman Sachs Group (NYSE:GS) and U.S. Bank Corp (NYSE:USB). Each of these three stocks gave a Trade Triangle signal last Friday that the intermediate trend had once again resumed. Continue reading "3 Banks Stocks That You Should Be On Your Radar" →
