BIG MOVES IN ALL THE MARKETS
Last week we saw the markets have massive gains both on the upside in the case of equities, gold, silver and crude oil. The US dollar came under pressure losing 1.6% on its index.

 

You have to be impressed with the market action and certainly this is a classic example of markets not following the fundamentals. I think everyone can agree that the fundamentals in Europe are not good and they are not particularly great here in the United States.

A quick look at the changes for last week:

S&P 500 Index: – up a positive 3.78% * Spot Silver:– up double digits with a gain of 12.64% * Spot Gold: - up 6.15% * Crude Oil (December): - up 7.05% * Dollar Index: - down 1.6% * Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index: - up 3.9%

So let's go look at the charts and see what to expect for this coming trading week and find out how we can create can maintain your wealth in 2011.

In Europe it's getting personal...Weekend Update Video

Hello fellow traders everywhere. Adam Hewison here co-founder of MarketClub with your weekend update for the trading week ending on 10/21/11. This week we have two parts to our weekend update. Watch them both here.

Equities mixed as metals fade …

In Europe it's getting personal.

A poll that we conducted on Friday shows that 75% of all traders are closely watching  events in Europe. Here's the reason why.

Here we have Chancellor Merkel of Germany, telling Berlusconi the Prime Minister of Italy, who just happens to be a billionaire, a proud Italian male what to do. For sure there is no love lost between these two, but I'm not sure talking that way to an Italian billionaire, is going to result, in any kind of positive vote. That's why, I have always thought that the European union between different sovereignties, with different values and social structures, was an accident just waiting to happen.

Daily rumors from Europe continue to weigh heavily on the markets around the world. Everyone's euphoric one moment, thinking that a possible agreement is at hand only to find out hours later that everything is in complete disarray. It's just a question of how many lifeboats are available,  when the boat sinks? Continue reading "In Europe it's getting personal...Weekend Update Video"

The occupation of Wall Street continues, this rag tag movement has grown to include other cities and has now spread itself around the world. However, this unforeseen danger was not enough to dampen the spirits of Wall Street, as the equity markets put in one of their best weekly performances for the year.

So how can we best characterized last week's trading. What stands out in my mind, it was one of the lowest volume weeks in the equity markets for the year. Having said that we saw the DOW move up 4.87%, the NASDAQ jump 7.58% and finally the S&P 500 gained 5.98%.

The clear leader was the NASDAQ which was led by big gains in the stock of Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG).

The metal markets also moved higher with gold up a positive 2.61%, and silver scratching out a modest gain of 1.03% for the week.

Last week the dollar took it on the chin, dropping 2.72%. The move reflected thoughts that Europe was finally getting its act together. Europe continues to be a big question mark in my mind. It remains to be seen, if this is just the opening act, or the final act.

Crude oil prices jumped 4.85%, which in turn pulled the Reuters/Jefferies CRB Commodity Index into positive territory with an impressive gain of 4.41% for the week.

The big news for this week at least on Monday, will be the earnings announcement from Citi (C)and Wells Fargo & Co (WFC). This could really set the trend for the financial markets for the rest of the week. Bank of America  (BAC) and Goldman Sachs (GS) report on Tuesday and Morgan Stanley (MS) is expected to give its quarterly report on Wednesday.

It's going to be an interesting week. Oh, and let's not forget that Apple (AAPL) reports quarterly earnings after the close on Tuesday.

So stay tuned.

Now let's go to the 6 major markets we track and update every trading day and see how we can create and maintain your wealth in 2011.

I wanted to start this weeks market wrap with something I believe in. Here it is, this past week the technology world lost a true titan. I am of course referring to Steve Jobs who was a genius in his own right, who created communication tools that are used around the planet. Steve, really did change the world.

This brings me to something I mentioned a week or two ago and that is this:"Some people dream of success while others wake up and work hard at it"

What a week! What a month! What a quarter! Weekend Video Update

What a week! What a month! What a quarter!

Major market trends prevailed through out the third quarter, as market after market succumbed to our Trade Triangle signals. For most market's, the tone was a negative for the month and quarter. One shining star, was the dollar index, which was one of the very few markets that trended higher during this time frame.

As we start the final quarter of 2011, we still have that pesky little contagion problem in Europe that has never really gone away. How much that has to weigh on the markets remains to be seen.

I believe that Q4 is going to offer some exceptional trading opportunities, but these opportunities will only be available to those traders who do their homework. Before we get into looking at the markets, I wanted to share this personal note with you, here it is. On the cover of my workbook, where I write down all my various game-plans for the markets I trade, it says this. "Some people dream of success while others wake up and work hard at it". It sums up as to how I look at the markets. No successful trader I know, wings it, they all work hard and do their homework, and work hard at staying successful.

My wish for you in Q4 and 2012, is that you too will work hard at trading success. I am here to help you along in your journey.

All the best,
