In addition to the markets we normally report on, we will also be looking at the following markets using our Trade Triangle technology.

GOD BLESS MEG ...
Is Meg Whitman going to create a miracle with Hewlett-Packard (HPQ)? Yesterday, HP announced its earnings and while its profits were dramatically lower, it was not as bad as most analysts had expected. But here's the interesting news, technically HP appears to be making a base in which to move higher. The key level we are watching for the rest of the month is $17.50. Should HP stock move over this level, all of our Trade Triangles will turn green. If this happens, and it is a big "if", the major downtrend for HP will have finally reversed its three year decline. We will be looking at HP stock today using our Trade Triangle technology. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: God Bless Meg … AIG finally makes a profit and ABBONDANZA!"

Today's Video Newsletter: Slap on an Apple, and plug in a Tesla

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 21st of February.

In addition to the markets we normally report on, we will also be looking at the following markets using our Trade Triangle technology.

SLAP ON AN APPLE
First filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office in August 2011 and just discovered today by Allappnews.com, is Apple's patent for a “bi-stable spring with flexible display.” In other words, this could be the long-rumored iWatch. Here is what the patent states: With touch screen user input, a user can accomplish a number of different tasks including adjusting the order of a current playlist, and reviewing a list of recent phone calls. A response to a current text message can even be managed given a simple virtual keyboard configuration across the face of the flexible display. We will be looking at Apple (AAPL) today with our Trade Triangle technology to see if this new patent discovery moved the needle or if it makes sense technically to buy, sell, or take a rain-check on this stock.

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with MarketClub TV for Wednesday, the 20th of February.

WHY COMMODITY MARKETS ARE SO IMPORTANT
The commodity markets are incredibly important as they really drive commerce and the economy.

THE WORLD CUP PORTFOLIO
Five years ago, we began the World Cup portfolio using core commodity markets. Five of the six components that make up the World Cup portfolio are pure commodity plays-wheat, corn, soybeans, gold and crude oil. The sixth element is the Dollar Index. Here are the theoretical returns for the World Cup portfolio starting in 2008: Continue reading "Today's MarketClub TV: Why Commodity markets are so important and deserve a spot in your portfolio"

GOOGLE TO OPEN RETAIL STORES?
According to reports today, Google is planning on opening retail stores in time for this coming holiday season. Google feels it's necessary to open stores to showcase their technology, Google Glass. Google Glass is wearable technology and it will act much the same way as a smart watch, which Apple is apparently working on right now.

Taking a cue out of the Apple playbook, Google feels it's necessary to have retail stores so regular people, not just super techies, can try on their invention and see how it works. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Google trades over $800 and the market sinks Carnival Cruise Lines"

CARL ICHAN VS BILL ACKMAN, NOW IT'S PERSONAL
One of the biggest mistakes you can make in trading is getting personal with the market. That is why it's amazing to me to see Carl Ichan and Bill Ackman act like two school kids with this very public fight over HERBALIFE. The one-on-one animosity and hatred they have for each other is now in the public arena. Basically, they both want to win on HERBALIFE and the reality is it's going to cost one of their hedge fund clients a lot of money. After the close in after hours trading, Carl Ichan announced that he had purchased 14 million shares, effectively giving him a 12.98 percent stake in HERBALIFE. This was enough to push shares of HERBALIFE up 20% in after hours trading. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Now it's getting personal - and what's going on in GOLD!"
