In-Depth Analysis: Halliburton Company (NYSE:HAL)

Today, I am going to be analyzing the stock of Halliburton Company (NYSE:HAL). On January 27th, a new red monthly Trade Triangle appeared, the first in 12 months for the stock. This indicates a significant technical development and changes the outlook and direction of Halliburton.

Today's in-depth analysis is not to say the stock is going to collapse and go out of business, but rather I am noting a confluence of certain technical indicators that do not paint a positive picture for this stock.

There is an old adage in trading and it says "they slide faster than they glide." Translated that means stocks go down a lot faster than they go up.

What Does This Company Do?

Halliburton Company provides a range of services and products for the exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas to oil and gas companies worldwide.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) Reports Earnings After The Bell

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and co-creator of MarketClub, with your video update for Monday, the 27th of January.

I am going to be looking at the stock of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), who reports earnings after the bell today. The psychological stakes could not be any higher for Apple, which in many ways, still mourns the loss of Steve Jobs' visionary qualities. The big question on investors' minds these days, is Apple still a momentum stock or has it become a dividend paying stock?

This is a big challenge for Apple because one of its core markets is young people and one thing Apple cannot afford to do is lose its cool factor with this audience. It may have already lost its cool factor with the younger generation, as Android is certainly showing up more and more in the hands and minds of teenagers. Continue reading "Apple Inc.

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and co-creator of MarketClub, with your video update for Thursday, the 23rd of January.

The DOW Is Lower On The Week

Today's market is a reality check for many traders who just finished digging out from the new mini ice age we are witnessing here in the East (what ever happened to global warming?), as they returned to their trading desks in full force today. Today we witnessed the weekly Trade Triangle turn red for the DOW, which could be a harbinger of things to come.

Gold Is Higher On The Week

In contrast to the indices moving lower, gold prices are once again attracting attention and trending higher. Many investors are adding a little more of the precious metal to their portfolios. Also, this metal could be on the cusp of a major acceleration and I will explain what I mean in today's video. Continue reading "Just Like The Weather, Markets Change"
