The next big thing, drumroll please … Obama Insurance

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 8th of November.

The market voted yesterday on the election results with the biggest one day drop for the year. Did yesterday's market action indicate a major change in direction or was it just a blip in a longer term bull market?

Regardless of the eventual outcome for the major markets, every investor needs some "Obama Insurance". Here is how "Obama Insurance" works:

Let's begin by looking at where we closed last Friday in the major markets and where we are trading now. Bear in mind these markets can change direction pretty quickly and we will really want to watch where we close this Friday (11/9).

Say Goodbye to the Election and Hello to Inflation

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Wednessday, the 7th of November.

The election is over and one half the country is happy and the other half of the country is unhappy. It's time to move on and focus on the markets and what we do best here at MarketClub, catching the big moves in stocks, futures, Forex and the futures markets.

If we continue down the same economic path of the last four years, stimulus after stimulus, inflation is going to come roaring back in a vengeful way. That is going to be a positive for gold and other raw commodities and real estate.

In regards to all the markets, we are going to rely on our winning Trade Triangles as they will show us the path to profits.

Now, let's go to the markets and see what our Trade Triangles are indicating.

Have a great trading day,
Adam Hewison

Left or right it all comes down to today - Election day in America

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 6th of November.

Yesterday, we invited users to vote on our own poll on who is going to win the 2012 presidential election. The poll  is presently indicating 54% for Romney and 46% Obama, a Romney win.

The poll on our MarketClub.com website currently shows Governor Romney with 50% and President Obama with 50%, a dead heat.

What do you think?

The markets are not indicating one way or another who is going to win the election. The equity markets are trading higher for the week, as is crude oil, gold, and silver, while the dollar remains on the defensive.

Are the markets predicting an Obama win or a Romney win?

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

Make no mistake about it, the markets will likely be quiet for today and tomorrow. When the eventual President is announced, perhaps on Wednesday or Thursday, the markets will decide which way they want to move.

Here's what the markets are telling us right now:

Equities: Mixed picture
Metals: Mixed picture
Dollar: Mixed picture
Crude Oil: Negative trend Continue reading "Are the markets predicting an Obama win or a Romney win?"

Daily Video Update: "Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit."

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 1st of November.

"Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" is a common British superstition which states that a person should say the words "rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" out loud upon waking on the first day of the month. According to legend and lore, this will ensure good luck for the duration of that month.

One trader I knew on the floor of the CME carried a rabbit's foot in his pocket everyday! He claimed it gave him good luck with his trading. Judging from his success, I would have to say it worked!!

So don't forget, on the first of December to say "rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" when you wake up. It can't hurt.

The stock markets are gradually getting back to normal and into the swing of things again. Certainly today's 1% rally in the major indices is a good indication that more and more traders are once again back at their desks and focusing on the markets.
