Daily Video Update: Debate shocker - It's what America is talking about today

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 4th of October.

I would be remiss if I didn't make a comment on last night's debate. If you didn't watch the debate, I think it's universally accepted that Governor Romney brought in his "A" game, while Pres. Obama did not seem up to the challenge.

I mention this only because we made a comment earlier in the week that "politics and markets make strange bedfellows". Based on what the world saw last night, the election just got tighter.

Today, we are seeing the markets vote on the debate and we are seeing a strong movement in equities and in precious metals. It is too early to say if this trend will continue for the rest of the day.

We'd like to hear your thoughts! Be sure to vote on the debate in today's poll. Continue reading "Daily Video Update: Debate shocker - It's what America is talking about today"

MarketClub TV for 10/03/12: Zero hour, 9 PM ET

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 3rd of October.

All eyes will be on the presidential debate this evening at 9 PM, Eastern Time. We expect the markets will be little moved until after the first debate.

According to our poll yesterday, it would appear that Ben Bernanke has more power over the markets than both Pres. Obama and presidential challenger, Mitt Romney.

As an independently registered voter, I take my vote very seriously. I always do as much research as I can on both candidates. This video link on President Obama found its way into my mailbox. I found it very interesting and wanted to share it and I believe no matter what your political persuasion it is worth watching. If you have any interesting videos on Mitt Romney, feel free to share them with us.

Be sure to watch the debate tonight. Continue reading "MarketClub TV for 10/03/12: Zero hour, 9 PM ET"

Daily Video Update: Politics and markets make strange bedfellows

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 2nd of October.

Not to get too political, but I believe the markets are going to be in a holding zone for the next day or two waiting for the first presidential debate between Pres. Obama and Mitt Romney, that takes place on Wednesday.

Here's a question for you... Who, in your opinion, is more important? Pres. Obama, Mitt Romney, or Ben Bernanke?

From the market's point of view, I would have to say that Ben Bernanke is more important than either President Obama or Mitt Romney. Bernanke and the Fed are committed to pouring more money into the equity markets with their "QE3-print-more-money-and-to-H#ll-with-the-future-plan". I guess they figure that we can find another solution to the problem later … YEAH RIGHT!!

Equities based on the FED are still in a bullish phase and we have an upside target of $1,550 on the S&P 500 some time next year.

Most traders have written off the Euro, but our Trade Triangles are saying that we are in a bull market, at least for the moment, and the dollar is the one with the bigger problems.

Inflation Watch: Pressure is building on the Reuters/Jeffries CRB Index. Inflation will be arriving in 2013.

Wild Card: Without a doubt, the wild card for everything is the Middle East. We see no positives on that front.

Daily Video Update: Is gold becoming the new Apple?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 28th of September.

As we come to the end of the week, and more importantly, the end of the quarter we see gold closing near its highest levels ever on a quarterly basis. So it begs the question, is gold going to become the new Apple for investors?

We think so, and with all of our indicators positive on gold, we believe we will see this market continue its upward trend for the next several months. We would not be surprised to see gold break over the $2,000 level before the end of the year.

It looks like the S&P 500 index is going to have its best closing quarter in 19 months. We would not be surprised to see this market move up on the close, as it is the end of the quarter.

Daily Video Update: Forget politics, forget the news, forget the election... just focus on what the market is doing

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 27th of September.

How can anybody make any sense of this market with all of the conflicting signals in Europe, the looming fiscal cliff, and the upcoming general election?

At MarketClub, we listen to the most important voice of all, the market itself. I'm sure someone has impressed upon you at some point to "be a good listener". It is amazing what you can learn when you just listen to what is being said.

Simplify your life, go with the flow. Go with what the markets are telling you. Right now, they are telling us they want to go higher.

At the moment, the major trend in the all of the US indices is on the upside, so that's the way we are going to be approaching the market until the market tells us that the trend has changed.
