MarketClub TV: Clash of the Titans

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 6th of February.

CLASH OF THE TITANS
I know it sounds like a cheap B movie title, but the reality is this is a very real clash between Rupert Murdoch with his powerful NEWS Corp holdings and John Malone with his equally powerful Liberty Media Empire.

Today Liberty Media announced that it had purchased Virgin Media in the UK for a deal valued around $16 billion dollars.

Sir Richard Branson, who is a part owner of Virgin Media, walked away with a cool $316 million in his pocket after handing over his shares. Nice work if you can get it. Today we will be looking at both Liberty Media Corp (LMCA), and News Corp (NWSA) to see which is the best bet in media. Continue reading "MarketClub TV: Clash of the Titans" →

Today's Video Newsletter: Michael Dell goes private and China catches gold fever

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

Dell Goes Private for $24.4 Billion
Going from a public company to a private company allows for many advantages that perhaps Michael Dell thinks he needs in today's ultra competitive smart tablet/phone world.

Michael Dell has sunk all his shares into his new private company and then added another $700 million to get the deal done. Dell, as an individual, has put the most skin into the game to go private. Other investors, like Microsoft, will be investing $2 billion and Silver Lake partners will put up $1 billion. The rest of the financing, over $15 billion is coming from banks. Dell stockholders will receive $13.65 in cash for shares of common stock. So it would appear that DELL has come full circle, private, public, and now private again. If DELL survives, will we see them again offer shares to the public? Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Michael Dell goes private and China catches gold fever" →

Today's Video Newsletter: Did the right team win the Super Bowl?

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

Did the right team win the Super Bowl? Well, if you are bullish on the general market, the answer has to be no. If you are unsure on equities the answer is yes, the right team did win the Super Bowl. According to legend, when an AFC team wins the big one, the odds favor the stock market ending the year with a mediocre gain of around 3%. The last time the Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl the market closed down 11% that year. When a NFC team wins the Super Bowl, the stock market closes out the year with a average gain of over 10%. Maybe, just maybe, that is why the market is lower today? Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Did the right team win the Super Bowl?" →

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Jeremy Lutz here with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 31st of January.

Uncertainty ahead of tomorrow's monthly jobs report is contributing to choppy trading today. Following yesterday's disappointing fourth quarter GDP report, the Labor Department released a report before the start of trading showing a bigger than expected rebound by weekly jobless claims.

The Labor Department said initial jobless claims rose to 368,000 in the week ending on January 26th, an increase of 38,000 from the previous week's unrevised figure of 330,000. Economists had been expecting jobless claims to climb to 350,000 after hitting a five-year low in the previous week. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Uncertainty leads to choppy trading" →
