Noah will cover political topics and stocks related to:

  • Healthcare
  • Proposed border tax
  • Net neutrality
  • Marijuana legalization
  • Military funding and weapons development
  • The list could go on and on…

All major political discussions are a source of opportunity for investors, as some stocks will soar, or sink, as a result of what happens on the Hill.

Noah will dig through the complicated bills and wade through political discussion to deliver an easy-to-understand recap with actionable trading ideas to give you a head start on the market’s movement.

Weekly Futures Recap With Mike Seery

Posted on by The INO.com Team

We've asked Michael Seery of SEERYFUTURES.COM to give our INO readers a weekly recap of the Futures market. He has been Senior Analyst for close to 15 years and has extensive knowledge of all of the commodity and option markets.

Michael frequently appears on multiple business networks including Bloomberg news, Fox Business, CNBC Worldwide, CNN Business, and Bloomberg TV. He is also a guest on First Business, which is a national and internationally syndicated business show.

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the December contract settled last Friday at 1,297 an ounce while currently trading at 1,286 down a little over $10 for the trading week. The sell-off is due to several factors including the 10-year notes now yielding 2.30% which is a fundamental bearish indicator towards the precious metals coupled with the fact that the U.S. dollar has now hit a 5-week high putting pressure on the precious metals here in the short term. Gold prices are trading under their 20-day moving average and right at their 100-day testing major support around the 1,275 level. I am currently not involved in any of the precious metals as this market remains in a seesaw pattern. Gold prices had rallied earlier this month due to major tensions between North Korea and the United States, and I don't think that situation is going away anytime soon, but things have settled down, and that is why are also seeing a selloff in the bond market. The flight to quality has come to an end at least here in short-term so look at other markets that are beginning to trend with a better risk/reward scenario at the present time.

Market Mixed As It Wraps Up A Solid Quarter Of Gains

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere. As we come to the end of the third quarter in 2017, let's take a look at where the markets stand heading into the fourth quarter.

The S&P 500 is on pace for quarterly gains of nearly 4% percent and its eighth straight quarter of gains dating back to October of 2015.

The DOW is on track for a third straight quarter of gains standing at 4.8%; this is its eighth straight quarter of gains. That's the first time it's happened since 1997.

MarketClub's Mid-day Market Report

The NASDAQ composite is on it's way to quarterly gains of almost 6%, its fifth consecutive positive quarter since 2015.

Even with the recent gains over the last few days, the U.S. Dollar continues to weaken losing a little over 2% in the quarter.

Crude Oil is looking to close out the third quarter of 2017 with a stellar gain of 10% effectively wiping out the 10% loss in the second quarter of this year.

Gold is posting a quarterly gain of almost 3% following a modest loss of .8% last quarter.

Yellen States Gradual Hikes Should Continue

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello Traders everywhere. The U.S. dollar rose to a one-month high as Republicans rolled out their U.S. tax reform plan and after Yellen's speech on Tuesday.

Despite slowing inflation, Fed Chair Janet Yellen stated on Tuesday that she believes that the Federal Reserve needs to continue gradual rate hikes. Yellen delivered a speech in Cleveland to the National Association for Business Economics on Tuesday in which she stated, "that the Fed may have "misspecified" its models for inflation, and "misjudged" key facts like the underlying strength of the labor market and whether inflation expectations are as stable as they seem, and central bankers need to remain open to that possibility as they decide on policy".

Still, recent low inflation was likely a reflection of factors that would fade over time and despite uncertainties, it "would be imprudent to keep monetary policy on hold until inflation is back to 2%."

"Without further modest increases in the federal fund's rate over time, there is a risk that the labor market could eventually become overheated, potentially creating an inflationary problem down the road that might be difficult to overcome without triggering a recession," she said.

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Analysis originally distributed on September 20, 2017 By: Michael Vodicka of Cannabis Stock Trades

Germany is quickly beginning to look like the next mega market for medical and eventually recreational cannabis. This is creating another big opportunity for savvy investors who are following the story and staying ahead of the curve.

Today, I am going to show you how you can profit.

But first - a little background.

Germany is the beating heart of Europe.

It is the largest country in the European Union with a population of 81 million.

It also has the largest economy in the European Union by a long shot. Its gross domestic product clocked in at $3.5 billion in 2016. Its per capita GDP of $42,000 makes it one of the wealthiest countries in Europe.

Companies that can gain access to the German consumer market have an opportunity to access tens of millions of wealthy consumers.

This is particularly true in Germany's young medical cannabis market. Continue reading "3 Cannabis Stocks Profiting from Germany's New Medical Program" →
