Daily Video Update: Where do we go from here?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 14th of August.

At the moment there appears to be a lack of conviction by both the bulls and the bears to move this market one way or another. This indecision has also registered in our Trade Triangle technology with many of the major markets now indicating a sideways to mixed trend.

It has been this way for quite some time and I think it is wearing a lot of investors and traders down. Normally, when you have indecision like we are witnessing in the markets they are usually preparing for some big moves later in the year. The big moves may begin after Labor Day, when many traders and investors return from their summer hiatus. Also, it should noted that volume has been extremely light in many of the markets which underscores the lack of participation by both the public and professional traders.

We are also going to be looking at a buy and hold strategy compared to a strategy using MarketClub's Trade Triangle Technology. It's on a major stock that everyone knows. The results may surprise you so stay tuned.

Now, let's analyze the major markets and stocks on the move using MarketClub's Trade Triangle Technology.

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

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: Did you know about the Himalayan Happiness Index?

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.

Daily Video Update: Nothing but talk from Mario Draghi tanks the markets!

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 2nd of August.

As we mentioned on the MarketClub TV show yesterday, no word from the ECB or Mario Draghi spells doom and gloom for the markets. Talk is cheap and the market wants to see concrete action, not talk.

Remember Italy, Spain, Greece, and others owe a boat load of money. We do not believe there is any plan in action and politicians are just thinking of more and more ways to kick the can down the road.

We expect the market to be on the defensive for the balance of the week.

Daily Update: FED showdown at 2:15 today and it looks like Knight Capital pushed the wrong button!

Tune in tonight for the video presentation on MarketClub TV.

Hello MarketClub members everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 1st of August.

Happy first of August. We start off the new month with a potential game changer and a potential bang from the Fed today at 2:15. By the time you're reading this report, news will probably be out. I am not sure much is going to happen as the markets are fairly high considering what's going on in the rest of the world.

Pandemonium hit the floor the New York Stock Exchange first thing this morning as it would appear as though volume just jumped off the charts. For example, Molycorp was shown trading more than 5.7 million shares in the first 45 minutes of trading. That stock usually averages about 2.6 million shares daily. Did someone press the wrong button at Knight Capital? Continue reading "Daily Update: FED showdown at 2:15 today and it looks like Knight Capital pushed the wrong button!"
