Today's Video Update: Are You Planning On Buying An Electric Car?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 17th of May.

Tesla Soars As Excitement Builds For Electric Cars
This week, Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) soared as investors rushed into buying shares of America's only electric car company. Shares of Tesla jumped 19.72% for the week as of this writing and are closing in on new high ground. Of course, this must make Elon Musk and investors in this stock very, very happy. You may want to take a look at my earlier video on Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) here.

Gold Loses Big Time This Week
The price of gold plummeted this week with losses of over 5% as investors jumped out of this once precious metal and into US and Japanese stocks. If gold closes where it is currently trading at $1,363 on the spot market, it will represent a new low weekly close for the year. Such a close would indicate further downside pressure for this metal. Technically, we cannot rule out a test of the $1300 level. Continue reading "Today's Video Update: Are You Planning On Buying An Electric Car?" →

Google Music?
Word on the street is that Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) is set to announce today a new streaming music service, one that will compete against Pandora and Spotify. Once again, it seems as though Google wants to be everything to everybody, and whether Google can compete in the music business and be successful remains to be seen. Should you buy or sell Google? If you haven't watched my Google trading video on how to trade Google successfully, you can watch it here.

The Beat Goes On
Stock prices hit a high yesterday as more and more disenfranchised short sellers are covering their shorts and exiting this market. So far, this market has not yielded to any downside pressure or correction to the surprise of many professional traders. What I do know, is that trends tend to persist longer than expected, and that they don't ring a bell at the top of any market. In a recent blog poll, we asked readers what they thought of the market: Continue reading "Today's Video Update: The Beat Goes On" →

Why Futures for Stock Traders?

By: Leslie Burton

Whether you have traded a stock account for years or have just begun stock trading, you may have mixed results. Perhaps you have taken a course or you are simply well-read in your investment choices. The questions that every investor, trader and wealth manager must ask are, Am I diversified enough to produce a smooth equity curve with my portfolio? and Will this portfolio be weighted well enough to stand worst-case-scenario market conditions? If you hesitate to answer those questions, then perhaps taking a look at other products may broaden your knowledge and enhance your current investment portfolio.

The beauty of trading stocks online is that it keeps overhead costs down by trading out of your home. You will have immediate access to market information along with your account to place trades as you check the stock earnings, operating costs and any news that may impact the company. Typically, the cost of doing business is your low commission rate, use of your home computer and any subscription material to keep you informed. Most trading occurs in expanded hours, giving the investor time to trade whether it is a full-time or secondary job. The online platform allows the trader convenient access to the funds in his/her account readily. Continue reading "Why Futures for Stock Traders?" →

Today's Video Update: Forget Stocks, the Name of the Game is the Value of Money

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 13th of May.

The Aussie Dollar Crashes
Today we are going to take a look at the Aussie dollar to understand why it closed last Friday at its lowest levels since June 2012. This market clearly is on the defensive as Australia re-tools its economy with a lower priced currency. By lowering its currency, Australia hopes, like Japan, to jump start its economy. A less expensive Aussie dollar should help make Australian exports more competitive and more attractive, particularly to China, which is its main trading partner.

This particular trade could be one of the best trades of 2013. If you haven't seen last week's Aussie Dollar video, you can watch it here.

The Trend Continues In The Yen
The US dollar moved to its best levels in five years against the Japanese Yen, as the Yen reached 102 early this morning in overseas trading. The Japanese Yen has been on the defensive against the US Dollar since last October, when our Monthly Trade Triangle kicked in and the Dollar began to accelerate its gains against the Yen. I believe that this market, which is very overbought, is getting close to a target zone around the 103.00 level. I would now expect the 100.00 level to act as a floor for the US dollar.
