Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 12th of July.

With record high closes in the DOW and the S&P 500 yesterday, this is not the time to be short the main indices going into this weekend. I will be using our 52-week high strategy to catch a quick move and you can see the rules on how to play in today's video.

The DOW triggered a Green Weekly Trade Triangle on 7/10/13 at 15,340.09 signaling a resumption of the uptrend.

The S&P 500 triggered a Green Weekly Trade Triangle on 7/10/13 at 1,654.19 signaling a resumption of the uptrend.

The NASDAQ triggered a Green Weekly Trade Triangle on 7/8/13 at 3,488.31 signaling a resumption of the uptrend.

On Monday, our weekly (intermediate trend) Trade Triangle kicked in and gave a resumption of trend buy signal for the NASDAQ index. The signal came in at 3,488.31 confirming that both the intermediate and longer-term trends are now in unison, signaling a move to the upside.

The 52-Week Rule
I learned this rule many years ago from a trader named Bill, when I was trading in the pits of the Chicago Mercantile where I was a member. Over the years, it has proven to have a high degree of success. Just remember, there are no guarantees made or implied that this approach works with every trade. I suggest you watch it, paper trade it, and draw your own conclusions. Here are the three rules you need to trade "The 52-Week New Highs on Friday Rule": Continue reading "Today's Video Update: What's Ahead For June?"

Today's Video Update: Z10, Tiffany, Gold and the Weekend Worry, Cyprus

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 22nd of March.

Z10 - Does BlackBerry Have The Magic To Come Back?
Today's the day that BlackBerry begins to market its Z10 smartphone in the US. It's interesting that BlackBerry chose today, as it is the 50th anniversary of the Beatles and the first James Bond movie. Both the Beatles and the Bond franchises have performed extremely well over the years. The question now is can Blackberry resurrect itself as a leading contender in the smartphone market? The US accounts for 20% of BlackBerry sales and this number either has to stay or grow from here. The key to BlackBerry stock is holding onto and growing its customer base. I think that's going to be an awfully hard challenge given the Android and Apple's iOS stranglehold on the US markets. Today we will be looking at the stock of BlackBerry to see just how well our Trade Triangle technology did in capturing the moves so far in this once shining star.

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!"

It's Friday... Are you in or out?

It's Friday* and a day when many traders are considering how to deal with their positions over the weekend. How comfortable or uncomfortable are you going home with a position? There are some strategies hinged on this notion, one of which we discussed in a very popular earlier video which you can click here to watch.

During the week you continually have rumors, reports, and market action as well as a host of other things that affect the market. I consider the close on Friday to be the most important close of the week. It provides invaluable insight into what is going on in the markets as well as an easy way to analyze the market.

This is what I do, I write down the previous Friday's close in the markets that I am interested in. For illustration purposes today I'm just going to include five markets. They are: S&P 500, Dow, NASDAQ, gold and crude oil.

Last week the closing numbers on Friday, June 4th were as follows: Continue reading "It's Friday... Are you in or out?"
