Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere, Happy Monday. It's a very happy Monday morning for Bill Ackman who owns 32% of Allergan's stock. I would also like to point out that it is a happy Monday for many MarketClub members who read on our blog over two months ago about this stock. I also did a special update on Allergan Inc. (NYSE:AGN) on October 31.

In today's video, I will be looking at the major indices, plus several stocks that are popping up on my radar screen today. These stocks include Apple Inc. (APPLE:AAPL), Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) and Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB).

Did you take advantage of Apple's new 52 week high with our 52-week high on a Friday rule? It looks to be heading higher today.

Japan Shocks The Market With A Halloween Treat

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Overnight actions by the Bank of Japan jump-started the equity markets to seven-year highs in that country, plunging the Japanese yen to its lowest levels since 2008.

The Bank of Japan's big market-moving announcement was that they will triple purchases of exchange-traded funds and real-estate investment trusts. This was clearly a big surprise to all the markets and it sent a big message to the currency markets. This will affect all the other Asian countries as they too will be forced to compete against a cheaper Japanese Yen. Can you say that the currency wars are just starting?

The move by The Bank of Japan (BOJ) was all that was needed to send gold and crude oil prices crashing to the downside.

In today's video, I'll be looking at the U.S. Dollar VS the Japanese Yen (FOREX:USDJPY), gold (FOREX:XAUUSDO) prices, which gave a major sell signal today and crude oil (NYMEX:CL.Z14.E) prices, as they continue their downward spiral.

I'll also be following up on some of the stock picks that I talked about earlier this week:
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)
Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA)
Facebook Inc. (NASDSAQ:FB)
Allergan Inc. (NYSE:AGN)

I'll also be looking for some stocks to trade over the weekend with "The 52-Week New Highs on Friday" trading rules.

As always, I welcome your comments and feedback. Please feel free to leave a comment or question below this post.

Have a great weekend everyone,

The Real Reason Why Crude Oil Is Moving Lower

Posted on by The INO.com Team

As you may well know, crude oil (NYMEX:CL.Z14.E) prices have been dropping precipitously this year. In fact, they are at their lowest level in two years. I have a theory as to why oil prices are dropping.

I believe one of the great unsung victories for automobile manufacturers are the new cars they are producing that are getting, on average, an amazing 25 miles per gallon. That is a quantum leap from just a few years ago. With hybrids (cross between electric and gasoline) becoming more mainstream and more motorists turning in their old cars to buy new, more efficient cars, I would expect to see this trend continue. Better cars produce better mileage, therefore their need to go to the pump to fill up is less frequent than before.

Last week I witnessed the markets having one of their best weeks ever, up close to 4%. This strong market action for the week put a smile on a lot of people's faces, however it is still too early to confirm a major trend reversal to the upside.

I also mentioned in my last video that I liked Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), which was making new all-time highs on Friday, along with Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) and Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB). I will be checking in on those stocks today to see how they're doing. Also in today's video, I'll be looking at crude oil (NYMEX:CL.Z14.E), gold (FOREX:XAUUSDO), the U.S. Dollar Index (NYBOT:DX) and the major indices.

It's going to be an interesting week for sure, so stay tuned.

A Peek Inside 3 Billionaires' Portfolios

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Today, I'm going to look at three of the biggest portfolio managers in the world and what they're holding in their portfolios. Each of these three billionaire investors have over half of their portfolios in just three stocks.

Warren Buffett

Everyone it seems has heard of Warren Buffett, the legendary investor from Omaha. I'll be looking at Mr. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway holdings and his top three stocks and comparing them with the Trade Triangle signals.

Here are Mr. Buffett's (Berkshire Hathaway) top three holdings as of today: Continue reading "A Peek Inside 3 Billionaires' Portfolios" →

Ouch, Yesterday Was An Expensive Day For Many Investors

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Has the market topped out?

For the last couple weeks, I have been somewhat skeptical of this market and whether it could keep on moving higher. Yesterday, we witnessed a collapse of several major stocks that were pushing this market higher particularly in the NASDAQ sector.

According to our Trade Triangles, you should get out of the NASDAQ and S&P 500 as they both are showing weekly intermediate-term trends that have turned negative. The DOW is the only index that is holding up so far. The red line for the DOW this week is 16,937 and should the DOW break below that area, it would put all three major indices in an intermediate downtrend.

The following stocks show intermediate downtrends (red weekly Trade Triangles) and unless you are a long-term investor, you should be on the sidelines in these stocks.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)
Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)
eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY)
Yelp Inc. (NYSE:YELP)
Tesla Motors Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA)
Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX)

Now is the time for caution and not bold moves, in my opinion.
