Daily Video Update: Is the market immune to world angst?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 9th of August.

Should the equity markets close higher today, and I emphasize "should", that would mark the fifth day in a row the markets have closed on an up note. The last time that happened was over five months ago in early March of this year. It's a pretty rare occurrence when you see a market do this. I am sure a lot of the bears are perplexed as to why the market is not tanking given all the problems of a slowing world economy. The latest bad news report was out of China this morning, it showed that factory output had slowed in July to the weakest level in over three years and this was below what most analysts had been looking for.

Like life, there is reality and there is fantasy, and right now the market chooses to be optimistic, hoping for that ever elusive stimulus program that may never occur or it may occur sooner than we expect. One never knows for sure and it is this uncertainty that is driving the market.

Daily Video Update: Are you getting a little uneasy about the markets?

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 8th of August.

Call it a gut feeling, an intuition, or whatever, but I'm getting a little uneasy with the equity markets, and here's the reason why: Our Trade Triangles are sending out mixed signals and have been for sometime. The market has been unable to push into a +100 Score, and so far has failed to move into a -100 reading. Only our long-term Monthly Trade Triangle has consistently stayed on the negative side of the markets, despite the recent short-term rally.

Long-term indicators are important, as they tend to be correct more often than not and the markets have other major problems that are being swept under the rug at the moment. Europe is still a disaster, cities in America are going bankrupt, and huge amounts of debt have not even been addressed by either political party.

With all this as a back drop, tread carefully in the markets. We are not out of the woods yet and we may still have another reason to yell "TIMBER".

Daily Video Update: Thin AIR - are stocks going to need an oxygen mask to keep going?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

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

Despite all the problems in Europe, the US stock market seems to be going it alone, at least for the moment. Readers of this blog know that we have not been excited about the broad US equity markets, as our long-term indicator continues to remain in a negative mode. On the other hand, individual stocks are a different matter, as they can rally for technical and fundamental reasons.

Members only have to look at the Trade Triangles to see which stocks are trending higher and which stocks are headed for the basement. The S&P 500 is based on 500 individual stocks, and our Trade Triangle technology remains negative on that index. Eventually this impasse will be resolved one way or another and a strong trend, either on the upside or the downside, will ensue. Only time will resolve deadlock for this market. Till then, we remain stuck in a broad trading range.

Daily Video Update: Did you know about the Himalayan Happiness Index?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

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

Now we have chairman Ben Bernanke, the same "Helicopter Ben", quoting the Himalayan Happiness Index. Is it just me, or does this sound crazy to anyone else?

If that was not enough, Italian Prime Minister Monti in an article published in Der Spiegel magazine says the Eurozone is facing "psychological dissolution". What the heck does that mean?

I have to give Monti and Bernanke credit, that is the first time I've heard a Fed Chairman citing the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan Gross National Happiness Index and a politician using the phrase "psychological dissolution" in a sentence or anywhere else for that matter.

No matter what they say, the second half of the year should provide a silver lining for traders everywhere.

Hello traders everywhere! Jeremy Lutz here with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 3rd of August.

The market is off to the races today on a surprisingly strong July jobs report. Will it last?

The Labor Department's monthly jobs report gave investors assurance that the U.S. economy may be doing better all on its own. U.S. employers added 163,000 jobs last month, a sharp turnaround following months of sluggish hiring.

Oil prices have also made a jump on the jobs news today.
