Is The Market Doing Push-Ups?

It sure seems that way, doesn't? We are up one day and down the next. I'm not surprised with the market's action, it is what I expected after such a big drop.

It's Thursday and while this is an important day, I think Friday is going to be a more important day. Last Friday we saw the Dow Jones close at 16,643.10, the S&P closed at 1,988.87 and the NASDAQ closed at 4,828.54. As I write this, all three major indices are lower than last Friday's close and are down for the week. However, they are not lower than the recent Friday low close we witnessed just a few weeks ago when the Dow closed at 16,459.75, the S&P 500 at 1970.89 and the NASDAQ at 4717.16. Those closes in my mind are all crucial, if they are broken we could see a continuation to the downside. If they hold, it gives hope to the bulls that this was just a short-term correction and the markets will start going back up. Continue reading "Is The Market Doing Push-Ups?"

It's Over!

Monday, August 24th will long be remembered by investors as the day the world turned red. Every exchange in the world is showing big losses. It all started in China when the Shanghai index closed down 8% for the day, its biggest daily loss since 2007. The drop in China quickly moved over to Europe where the FTSE 100 and other major indices all lost upwards of 4%.

What happened?

The experts and pundits will all point to different reasons why this happened, but the reality is, the market has been having problems for some time and those problems have manifested themselves in the minds of investors who suddenly perceive things as being not so rosy.

I have said many times before that markets tend to slide faster than they glide. Simply translated, that means they go down a lot faster than they go up and we have certainly seen that in the last week or so.

One of the strongest market movers for any market is perception. Perception suddenly took a very negative turn this past week for most of the major indices. We have a lot to be thankful for as the Trade Triangle technology warned us on 6/30/15 that the markets were beginning to change direction. I pointed this out on Friday in my video and showed the long-term trend line that goes all the way back to 2009 when the lows were seen in the market. At the time of my video, the Dow was down around 160 points and was very close to breaking the below this long-term trend line. As the day progressed, that support line was clearly broken with the Dow closing down over 500 points for the day. The breaking of this long-term trend line is a big deal, in my opinion, and it represents more than just a correction in a bull market. Continue reading "It's Over!"

Big Trend, Big Stock, Low Risk Trade?

Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere. I would like to bring to your attention a stock that has been in a strong upward trend for some time that just flashed another buy signal yesterday. I consider this a sign of strength, particularly as the general market was down yesterday.

I decided just to do a short video today and focus on this one stock to show you an approach that I believe offers a very nice risk-reward ratio. I'm also going to share with you a way that you can lower the risk even further by using this one very simple technique.

The stock I'm going to be looking at is a big, well-known, high volume stock that offers lots of liquidity.

Are You Looking For A Winning Portfolio?

Hello MarketClub members and traders everywhere. It's the start of another trading week and I would like to share with you one of the model portfolios that is available to you as a valued member of MarketClub.

The portfolio I will be looking at is the Internet portfolio. This portfolio performed extremely well in 2013 with a 65% return and had a more conservative return of 16% in 2014. This year, the Internet portfolio has seen some tremendous profits in just two of the five stocks are tracked in this portfolio.

Every day the Internet portfolio is updated showing you the most current position and possible next move. The five stocks that are tracked are all well-known stocks that are traded heavily and offer great liquidity.

Both Netflix and Amazon have proven to be big winners. Yelp is also looking good and is currently short from $41.25.

Here are the current positions and open profits as of 8/14/2015: Continue reading "Are You Looking For A Winning Portfolio?"

How Did I Know This Would Happen?

Well, I wish I could take personal credit for this, but I really can't. All credit goes to the Trade Triangle technology which two days ago picked out a stock that made a major reversal.

As I looked around the web, I saw little or no mention of this stock anywhere. It does not seem this stock was on the top of anyone's radar screen.

So how did I find this stock that just happened to open up over 8% higher today? I used the recent Trade Triangles scan and you can do this every day with MarketClub. I then looked for markets that on average trade over 2 million shares a day and are showing a green monthly Trade Triangle.

What popped up on my screen two days ago was Celgene Corporation (NASDAQ:CELG). Yesterday I highlighted this stock as a buy in my update video. In case you missed what I said, you can watch that video right here. My analysis of Celgene starts at the 4:42 mark in the video.

I indicated that I thought Celgene could move to the $135-$136 area. It practically got there today with the big jump on the opening. What caused the big jump was an announcement by Celgene that it was buying Receptos Inc. (NASDAQ:RCPT) for $7.2 billion. This gives Celgene an even bigger presence in the $67 billion drug market to treat autoimmune conditions.

You can search every day in MarketClub for stocks that represent the same opportunities as Celgene. It's easy to do with the Trade Triangle scanning tools.

In today's video, I will be taking a general look at the markets to see exactly what's going on and determine if the market has made a fake or real turn to the upside.
