Today's Video Newsletter: Facebook and NetFlix form an alliance to learn more about you

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 13th of March.

THE FACEBOOK - NETFLIX ALLIANCE
Today Netflix and Facebook announced a sharing of data. You can view this in two ways, either it's very destructive, "these folks are learning way too much about my habits," or you can look upon it as a business opportunity. For Netflix, I believe it is more of a plus than it is for Facebook. The new add-on service tells you about what movies your friends are watching and in-turn, it tells your friends what movies you are watching. This could be a very positive move for Netflix. We have been bullish on Netflix for quite some time (12/04/12 @ $89.45) and this is yet another strong signal that Netflix can move higher and over the $200 mark. At the present time, we have upside target zones of $200, $220 for this stock. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Facebook and NetFlix form an alliance to learn more about you" →

Today's Video Newsletter: On the seventh day, He rested

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 12th of March.

EVEN THE MARKET NEEDS TO TAKE A REST AFTER SEVEN DAYS OF GAINS
Not only in the Bible is the number seven significant, but the number seven also plays an important role in the market as an important Fibonacci number in the Fibonacci sequence.

We expect we will see a mixed, resting market. We are not looking for a big down or big up day, but rather a mixed day as the markets rest and consolidate their recent gains. However unlike the general indices, some stocks will do well and others will fall. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: On the seventh day, He rested" →

Today's Video Newsletter: Problems in Europe Again?

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 11th of March.

PROBLEMS IN EUROPE RAISE THE SPECTER OF GLOBAL UNCERTAINTY
Riots in Spain over the weekend led to general uncertainty in Europe. With its 26% unemployment rate, Spain is facing political and citizen unrest which could be a major problem for the rest of Europe.

If the problems in Spain were not bad enough, Fitch came out on Friday and downgraded the debt for Italy to BBB with a negative outlook. The downgrade reflects inconclusive election results for that country in February, which has led to a political vacuum. We are certainly concerned about Italy as it is third in line behind the US as the most indebted country in the world. If Italy were to see its borrowing costs increase significantly, it could spiral out of control and have a domino effect that would be felt across all the world's equity markets.

Today's Video Newsletter: Is Carl Icahn using our Trade Triangle technology?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 8th of March.

MR. ICAHN, THANKS FOR YOUR VALIDATION
It seems that every time our Trade Triangles signal a move in the market, Mr. Icahn follows suit a little bit later. Coincidence? Perhaps. If you look at some of Mr. Icahn's recent announcements, you may get to see a pattern. A couple of days ago we talked about TransOcean, the next day Mr. Icahn fires off a letter to TransOcean about its poor capital allocation and capital structure. We signaled back in December that we received a bullish Trade Triangle signal in Netflix, next month in January we see Mr. Icahn taking a position. The same thing also happened in Yahoo, which begs the question... is Mr. Icahn using our Trade Triangle technology or something similar?

Today's Video Newsletter: 3 New Stocks Join the Bull Parade

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 7th of March.

With the FED pouring $4.25 billion into the system every trading day, it's no wonder that stocks are moving higher. When this artificial demand and false sense of security stops, what will happen to the markets? No one can tell for sure, but we cannot keep pumping money into this market forever. Yesterday, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President, Charles Plosser, said “We should begin to taper our asset purchases with an aim of ending them before year-end" and he believes that the central bank should slow the pace of its bond purchases because the potential costs from more stimulus outweigh the benefits.

When the FED turns off the money spigot, watch out!! That's when we get to see if the real economy has any clothes on. Until then, happy days are here again and the bull bandwagon is moving higher courtesy of the FED. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: 3 New Stocks Join the Bull Parade" →
