Don't Let Choppy Markets Get The Best Of You!

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Sometimes markets can be very frustrating when they lack direction and appear to be indecisive as to which direction they want to move. When that happens, I always take a look at the major trend, as that gives you a strong clue as to what the future is going to bring.

Every market cycle has its ups and downs and markets tend to go higher and lower than most people anticipate. It is just the nature of the beast.

In today's video, I'm going to look at the big picture in the Dow, NASDAQ and the S&P 500. Each of these indexes are microcosms of what traders are thinking. Continue reading "Don't Let Choppy Markets Get The Best Of You!" →

April Was A Positive Month For All Of The Indices

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Despite choppy trading conditions, all the major indices closed out the month of April in the plus column. While these gains were very small, they were nonetheless gains for the month. The NASDAQ closed out the month at 4,941.88 which represented a gain of .69%. The S&P led the group with a gain of .85%, while the Dow lagged with just a small gain of .36% for the month of April.

There was no question about it, the last week in April was difficult with the sharp drop in equity prices. If one looked just at the short-term trends, you could easily be blinded to the longer-term positive trends that are currently in place for all the major indices.

In today's video, I'll be examining the major indices to see how much damage was done with this short-term pullback. I will also be looking at gold which closed out the month of April with small losses and looks to be on the defensive today. Continue reading "April Was A Positive Month For All Of The Indices" →

Will The NASDAQ And S&P 500 Continue To Move Higher?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

This week both the NASDAQ and S&P 500 made new all time highs and in doing so turned the Trade Triangles back to the positive mode on both indices.

Well here we are, it's Friday, and the question is. Is this trend going to continue? I say yes, at least for now.

The only index that has not joined the party is the Dow. The problem with the Dow is that it is made up of just 30 stocks big stocks who are not seeing much growth as of late and have been somewhat hurt with the strong dollar. Unlike the NASDAQ and the S&P 500 which are much broader indices and offer a bigger cross-section of growth stocks. Continue reading "Will The NASDAQ And S&P 500 Continue To Move Higher?" →

The Beat Goes On – August Recap

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Today marks the last day of trading for the month of August and I have to say, it has been quite a month. With all the news about ISIS, the Ukraine and Hamas and Israel, you would think the world was coming to an end. Well, don't tell that to the stock market! It made all-time highs and put in a very solid month of returns in August.

Traditionally August has always been a rather slow month, as many traders and investors take off on vacation to spend time with family members and loved ones. This August was no different as trading volume slowed, but the market continued its upward trend.

The big winner as far as the indexes are concerned is the NASDAQ (NASDAQ:COMP), which is presently trading approximately 4.61% higher for the month. Closely behind the NASDAQ is the S&P 500 (CME:SP500), which is up 3.62% as of midday Eastern Standard Time. The DOW (INDEX:DJI), not to be out done, reversed its earlier weakness and rallied into positive territory for the month and is presently up 3.12%. Continue reading "The Beat Goes On – August Recap" →
