Apple, Amazon, and Yahoo = Apathy

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

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL)

Today, I'm putting Apple under the microscope and looking at the various scenarios I can see playing out for this stock. As many of you know, I'm a very big Apple fan and I love Apple products. However, there are times when I don't share the same feelings for the stock of Apple.

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)

The stock of Amazon is barely changed for the week and continues to consolidate over the $360 level. I still feel that this stock can lazily move up to the $400 level by the end of the year. Continue reading "Apple, Amazon, and Yahoo = Apathy"

Measuring How High The Indices Can Go

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 18th of November.

Over the weekend I took some time and looked at the DOW, NASDAQ, and the S&P 500 indices. I wanted to measure just how high these indices could potentially go. All three indices have been on a tear this year, with the DOW making 57 new highs this year alone. On average, that is a new high every four days, which is pretty remarkable.

Now please remember that these are estimates based on technical analysis, they are not written guarantees carved in stone. As with any trade or investment strategy, you need to have an exit plan (money management) in case events change, whether over time or abruptly.

Just like any analyst, unforeseen events can change my analysis on the market. However, if my predictions remain correct, please do congratulate me and tell all of your friends (just joking on this one!).

Let's get started looking at the three indices and measuring the potential up-moves in all three major markets.

I would love to hear what your take is on the major indices and what you think can happen to the markets. How high, how low, agree, or disagree, let us hear your voice. It is always great to chat with other traders and hear their thoughts even, if they differ from my own.

Every Success,

Exxon Mobil - The Surprising Big Chart Picture

While viewing my energy portfolio this morning, I stopped and looked at the chart for Exxon Mobile (NYSE:XOM). I immediately noticed major resistance coming in at the $95 level. Can Exxon break through this major resistance level and take off to the upside?

If I measure from the resistance at $95 all the way down to the low in July of 2010, the difference is around $35. If I then add $35 to the breakout point, it takes us to my target zone of $130 per share for Exxon. Now remember, the market must move over the $95 level for this to happen.

Let's take a look at what we can see on the chart. Continue reading "Exxon Mobil - The Surprising Big Chart Picture"

A Chart Setup I Really Like

Today, I'm going to be sharing a chart setup I think has a lot of potential based on some of the technical studies I use here at MarketClub.

The chart I am analyzing is Cliff Natural Resources (NYSE:CLF).

At number 1, I have drawn a downtrend line from the high around $100, all the way down to where the trend line was broken in late July of 2013. Generally, the longer the trend line, the more powerful the move when it is breached. This trend line on CLF lasted a little over two years and touched three distinct points, confirming it as a valid trend line. Continue reading "A Chart Setup I Really Like"
