Daily Video Update: All eyes turn to Apple today, and the Fed tomorrow

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 12th of September.

The big news today is Apple and the possible launch of the new iPhone5. Is this going to be enough to spark the GDP as some have suggested? And in turn, propel the NASDAQ, the DOW and the S&P 500 to new highs?

In other big news today, the German court allowed ratification of the bailout fund with conditions. That positive news out of Germany was enough to raise European shares to 14-month highs.

We still believe that Greece is going to exit the Euro and we still believe that Spain and Italy have problems that have yet to be faced. If interest rates are held down, perhaps they can squeeze by, but the austerity measures are going to be hard to live with for some of these countries.

Are Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve going to begin inflating the economy again with another QE program? This would be QE3, and the market seems to be banking on that possibility and more positive news out of the Fed. As we mentioned yesterday, the charts are telling us that something big and positive is going to happen, it's only a question of when. If the third stimulus is approved, that's what is going to propel the markets to move to new highs.

Now, let's analyze the major markets and stocks on the move using MarketClub's Trade Triangle Technology.

Daily Video Update: Stranded on a desert island with a major buy signal

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 11th of September.

On Wednesday, we have the German courts ruling on the Euro area's permanent bailout fund. On Thursday, we have the Fed possibly coming in with another QE to the rescue. But is this all really that important to the markets? The reality is the markets tell you what they want to do and right now they are telling us they want to go higher.

One of the very best traders I have ever had the good fortune to run into lived on a mountain in Switzerland. He didn't listen to news or market rumors, he simply went with the market. In other words, he traded the markets on a technical basis.

He could have been on a desert island, it didn't matter, he just didn't pay attention to the news or listen to the market rumors that fly around the trading floors everyday.

He relied purely on market action to make his decisions, and he made millions!

So let's keep it simple, or as my Swiss friend used to tell me, "they don't pay you anymore for making it complicated." It may be different in the government, but in trading, simpler is better.

Daily Video Update: Is the glass half full or half empty?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 10th of September.

My question has always been, who is the glass maker? ( China? )

Over the weekend the legendary currency speculator, George Soros, shared with everyone his ideas on the Euro crisis. Mr. Soros indicated that Germany is the problem and needs to compromise big time with its Euro partners. That remains to be seen, as the German court will vote on Wednesday on what Germany can and cannot do.

This week should be packed with news coming out of Europe, and we could have the Fed making a QE decision later this week.

One thing is clear, INFLATION is on its way. That is the reason gold, silver, and copper are all headed higher and in the early stages of a bull market.

Daily Video Update: Is QE3 the next rocket that propels the SP500 Index to $1,550?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 7th of September.

Back in late August, we suggested that the markets would return to a more normal state with more trading volume and activity when traders returned from their summer vacations. Well, the comment out of Europe from Mario Draghi, head of the ECB, certainly propelled the dart of September to a quick start!

Yesterday's market action was a combination of new buying, and a large part of the move higher in the equity markets was short covering, as shorts scrambled to cover positions.

Another big call out yesterday was the move in the precious metals markets. Today we are seeing follow-through buying in gold, silver, and copper. Make no mistake about it, we are in bull markets in these metals. We are looking for all these markets to be strong for the next six months.

Look for the markets to close well today, as traders will be wary of taking home any short positions over the weekend.

This maybe a perfect weekend to employ our 52-week high rule to any market that is making new 52-week highs on the close.

Daily Video Update: Super Mario to the rescue!

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 6th of September.

Now that Mario Draghi, the head of the ECB, has spoken we will let the market decide how it wants to interpret his language. Early indications show the market liked what it heard from "Super Mario" and the shorts are getting squeezed out of the major index markets again.

Of the three equity markets we track in this report, only the DOW has not confirmed itself to be in a bull market.

Earlier today the gold market shot over the psychological $1,700 an ounce level based on concerns that the ECB would be printing more money. That coupled with the Fed printing dollars would lead to inflation worldwide. It was exactly one year ago today that gold made its all-time high of $1,920.26 an ounce. We have been, and continue to be bullish on gold and silver.
