Adam's 5 Big Market Predictions for 2011

Posted on by The INO.com Team

It's that time of year again when everyone who is considered an "expert" comes out of their ivory towers and makes their annual market predictions for the New Year.

It's time to kiss those predictions goodbye.

I can honestly say that I wish I had a crystal ball like these other forecasters, but that's not quite how the markets work. You see, markets don't give a "Rats A**" about what forecasters say or what predictions economists make. The market is the only true voice out there.

Think about that for a moment. How many predictions do you remember that were even close to being spot on a year in advance? I remember several forecasts for 2010 and most of them were far from accurate.

Does it make any sense to trade on a year-end forecast, not knowing what can happen in this crazy world we live in? It doesn't make any sense to me or to other professional traders who never trade based on year-end predictions.

So let's get back to reality and take a look back on 2010 to see what the big trends are showing for 2011.

A Perfect Weekend for "The 52-week new highs on Friday rule"

Posted on by The INO.com Team

We published this trading rule on our blog almost 8 months ago, February 10 to be exact. You can look it up if you wish. With gold making all time highs on Friday, it seems like the perfect candidate for this rule. Just remember, there are no guarantees in trading and you want gold to close at or near its highs for the day.

I learned this rule over 3 decades ago in the markets from a low-key trader named Bill. Using his special trading technique, Bill made millions and millions of dollars from his office. The best part is that this technique is still working more than 30 years after it was taught to me and why I insist on sharing it with as many traders as possible.

Bill didn't even have a name for this killer trading technique and so I named it, "The 52-week new highs on Friday rule". Continue reading "A Perfect Weekend for "The 52-week new highs on Friday rule"" →

Dissecting MarketClub's World Cup Portfolio

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Today we are going to take a look at MarketClub's World Cup Portfolio (formerly World Commodity Portfolio) that has been tracking six markets for the past three years. I think it is fair to say that the last 36 months have presented one of the most challenging trading environments in recent memory.

So how do we do it?

I put together this very short video which is only 1 minute 45 seconds long and gives you all the information that you need to decide whether or not this approach is one that could work for you. Bear in mind that the World Cup Portfolio is a leveraged portfolio unlike our "Perfect Portfolio" which is not leveraged.

The video can be viewed right here.

Please give us your thoughts and comments on our blog. I think you will find this video very informative and educational.

Never miss another major move again, and this headline proves it

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Severe Russian drought forces grain export ban - Moscow, Russia (CNN) -- As Russia reels from the worst drought in nearly 40 years ...

The wheat market is the hottest market in the world right now due to severe drought in Russia. But how did MarketClub's "Trade Triangle" technology do in this rocket-to-the-stars market?

MarketClub's "Trade Triangle" technology received a "go long" wheat signal over 6 weeks ago. Wheat was trading at $5.17 back then. It is now trading at over $8.00 a bushel.

Wheat is one of the six key components in MarketClub's World Cup Portfolio (WCP - formerly World Commodity Portfolio). In the twelve quarters we have tracked this portfolio, wheat has been profitable in 11 out of those twelve quarters. This quarter looks to be a bonanza with profits in excess of $11,000 per contract.

In the this video I show you the move, the "Trade Triangles," and the results. It is a not to be missed video.

We follow-up on last week's euro video

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Late last week we produced a video on the euro (which was posted on our blog on Monday), making a case that the currency was very close, if not at its highs. Since then, we have had two significant events fall into place which made the dollar skyrocket against the euro.

My new video shows you exactly what transpired and where we are so far this week. I think you'll find it interesting and informative.

As always our videos are free to watch and there is no need for registration.

I would appreciate that if you have comments on this market that you please leave them on the blog for everyone to see.
