Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 22nd of October.
One of the big untold stories in 2012 is the fact that the stock market is up 15% for the year and has outperformed every other asset class. The last time this happened was in 1995, so it is pretty unusual. With a couple of months to go before year end, we'll see how things play out.
Now, it could be argued that the massive ongoing stimulus acted to propel stocks higher. It could also be argued that it was the policies of this current administration that pushed stocks up. Either way, the market is higher for the year. As traders we try not to think about who or what is causing a market to move, we simply like to get the direction right and go with the major trend.
LAST WEEK: Late last week, Lindsay created a very powerful video on SkyWest (SKYW) stock. The video runs about four minutes and explains how using our Trade Triangle technology can help you significantly outperform a buy-and-hold strategy.
We had also talked about Apple stock and the fact that it had made a Fibonacci retracement into a buy zone. That stock is up 2.5% today.

Will I be watching to vote in sham election to pick the lesser of 2 murderous scumbags? Fixed Vote = No Vote. The only government voting I'll ever do would be in a REAL constitutional trial of government officials for treason and crimes against humanity. From top to bottom ALL have been accessories, either before, during or after.
