Apple Unleashes The New iPhones Today

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 20th of September.

Today, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) began to officially sell its new iPhones, the 5S and 5C, around the world. Long lines were reported in Europe, Asia and here in the States as Apple loyalists lined up to buy the latest and greatest from Apple.

Is Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) going to sell as many of the new iPhones as it has in the past? I think so, many iPhone users myself included, did not upgrade to the iPhone 5 last time. I will be upgrading this time and trading in my 4S for a brand new, fingerprint ready 5S. I think many other Apple users will be doing the same thing in this new product update cycle.

On Wednesday, like many other iPhone users, I downloaded the new IOS7 operating system for the iPhone and iPad. I have to say the new interface is clean, pretty slick, beautifully designed and works like a charm. The good news for everyone is that Apple made this upgrade free of charge.

Bernanke Blinks And Addiction Goes On

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 19th of September.

I have been saying for some time that the Fed is not going to do anything until January 2014, when there will be a change in the chairmanship. It goes back to that fundamental human trait of "wanting everyone to like me." I think Ben Bernanke wants to be seen as a benevolent Fed chairman when he retires in 2014. This is classic Washington politics, where the Fed chairman gives a very gracious speech saying that it's been a challenge and he enjoyed his time as chairman of the Fed, but he'll leave out the part where it's not his problem now.

Whoever becomes the next Fed chairperson will face monumental challenges trying to extricate the country out of this spending binge and gluttony of cheap money. I suspect that had the Fed known they would be no further forward in 2014 when they took this quantitative easing course four years ago, they would have chosen another course of action to stimulate the economy.

Here is a quick question for you, how many zeros are in $1 trillion? Continue reading "Bernanke Blinks And Addiction Goes On"

Stocks Soar With Summers' Exit

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 16th of September.

News that Larry Summers was withdrawing his name for consideration as the next Fed chairman sent stocks soaring overnight in Asia and Europe. When the US markets opened, it followed through and helped push many stocks to new highs. Today I will be looking at the indices and certain stocks that I think are worthy of your consideration.

I will also be looking at Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Pandora Media (NASDAQ:P). Can they still grow and make money? Continue reading "Stocks Soar With Summers' Exit"

A Mystery Stock That No One Is Talking About

mthumbOne of my favorite things to do is to look at charts and chart patterns. The pattern I'll be showing you today, I've seen a thousand times before. What I like about this pattern is that it is very reliable.

I am going to share with you a stock that no one is talking about and is probably not on anyone's radar at the moment. It has a similar analysis and pattern to Apple stock, but before Apple had its big up move.

Now I have to admit, this stock may not be as appealing as Apple, however it is a big, well-known stock. You will recognize the name immediately when you watch the video.

I had put this stock in my portfolio a while back and had almost forgotten about it, when it popped up in the little chart box on my personal MarketClub homepage. The chart pattern of this stock immediately caught my eye and demanded more analysis on my part.

See if you agree with my analysis. If you have a different view on this stock or think you see something that I have missed, please feel free to leave a comment. Buying or selling, agreeing or disagreeing, that is what makes a market.

All the best,

Apple Tanks and The NASDAQ Sinks

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 11th of September.

There is no question about it, most analysts did not like Apple's press conference yesterday and viewed it as a very disappointing event.

But what really happened? Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) came out with some stellar upgrades such as moving to 64bit architecture and software updates in what I consider to be the best operating system on the planet for mobile. They also unveiled a fingerprint technology that reaches a whole new level of security and puts Apple way ahead of most companies. I think this type of technology could be a Trojan horse for Apple in the corporate world. It also opens up a whole new market for Apple where security is essential, for example, think of online banking transactions. If that was not enough, Apple is also giving away their iWork software to new iPhone buyers. Continue reading "Apple Tanks and The NASDAQ Sinks"
