Macy's Misses And Alibaba Hits A New High For Sales

October was a spectacular month for stocks, but November may prove to be a different animal with potential roadblocks.

Many professional traders are looking at major resistance from the old highs in May of this year. I believe that the major indices are going to have their work cut out for them to move over these levels in the future.

On November 9th, I talked about Macy's Inc. (NYSE:M) showing what I believed to be major weakness in this stock. Macy's earnings were announced this morning which disappointed the market and pushed it down over 13%. I think this is a testament to MarketClub's Trade Triangle technology and the reassurances and confidence it provides investors.

I will also be taking a look at Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) that had a record sales day, generating over $10 billion in gross merchandise sales in just over 14 hours. Should you buy Alibaba here or just be on the sidelines?

I'm going to do something a little different today and look at three stocks that I talked about in an earlier video and a MarketClub member asked us to follow up on. The three stocks in question are The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS), Monster Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ:MNST) and News Corporation (NASDAQ:NWSA). I will see where they were trading before earnings and where they are now after earnings.

Also in today's video update I will be looking at gold which is in a very special place right now and definitely should be on your radar screen. In addition to the gold market, I will be looking at the dollar, crude oil and the major indices.

Have a great trading day everyone.

Every success with MarketClub,

Trends And Tipping Points For Apple, Alibaba And Twitter

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)

Yesterday, the 900-pound gorilla, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) reported earnings and by all accounts they were outstanding, far outpacing all of the pre-earnings estimates. But the reality is, the stock price barely moved and is up just 1.5% in today's early trading. I still believe that Apple is not out of the woods yet and it is yet to have any new blockbuster products or innovations.

The weekly and monthly Trade Triangles are indicating that Apple is in a trading range. The longer-term monthly Trade Triangle is red indicating the major trend remains negative. A tipping point for Apple on the downside would be a move below $109.50, that would turn all Trade Triangles red indicating a downward move. On the upside, Apple needs to move over $122.60 to reignite the bull trend. Continue reading "Trends And Tipping Points For Apple, Alibaba And Twitter"

Bingo, Stocks in the "Buy Zone"

What's with these crazy markets? For the past several months, the stock indexes have been moving sideways without any clear trend. This has proven to be very frustrating for many traders. However, there are many markets that are trending right now that can be traded profitably.

Have you looked at the bank stocks lately? Almost all of the financial stocks are moving higher and have been for quite some time. Stocks like: Continue reading "Bingo, Stocks in the "Buy Zone""

The seven stocks I will be looking at are: Continue reading "7 Stocks That Are Set To Rip"

Surprise, Greece Has No Money

It just seems to this observer that the Greek kabuki dance is never ending. How can banks keep lending money to a country that is insolvent? That seems a little backward and just stupid to me. What do you think of the situation in Greece?

Here's the reality of the situation, Greece is going to default, the bankers may as well get ready to write off those loans as the money is not coming back. The next question is, whose next, Portugal, Spain or Italy? The next buzzword that is going to come out of all this is contagion. I think when Greece exits the eurozone it will be good for the euro longer-term. Think of it like when a company announces bad earnings and fires the CEO. The stock price has anticipated and discounted all the bad news and for the most part things get better over time for that company. The euro is the same way as pretty much all the bad news is out, except the actual exit of Greece from the euro.

Sooner or later it's going to come to crunch time and time is getting short. Angela Merkel and Germany are going to have to swallow their pride and make some important decisions very soon.

So onto the only economy that seems to be working and that is the US. Today I'm are going to be looking at the major indices to see if they are beginning to tire or getting ready for another upward push.

I'm also going to be looking at three stocks today. Continue reading "Surprise, Greece Has No Money"
