Today's Video Newsletter: Best January for stocks since 1997

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

January of 2013 turned out to be the best January since 1997. Now there are two worlds out there, one is the world of stocks, and the other one is the real world of main street. So, it's Wall Street versus main street and it looks as though stocks are going to do better on the upside based on the market itself. Whether higher stock prices translate into a better economy is another matter, but stocks look like they want to go higher.

Yahoo reports Q4 earnings after the bell. Tonight we will see if the magic of Marissa Mayer has rubbed off on Yahoo. You may remember that Marissa was a long time key executive and spokesperson for Google before joining Yahoo as CEO in 2012. We will be analyzing Yahoo (YHOO) today using our Trade Triangle technology. The question is, how can Yahoo monetize its 750,000,000 million users?

Along with Yahoo (YHOO), we will be looking at energy, precious metals, forex and the equity markets. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Best January for stocks since 1997"

Today's Video Newsletter: Apple implodes, Netflix explodes, and Starbucks reports after the bell

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 24th of January.

The news after the bell yesterday was not so good for Apple. In after hours trading, Apple plunged down over 10%, losing over $40 billion its value in a little less than 90 minutes! To put that in perspective, Apple's loss of $40 billion in shareholders' value was greater than the total value of Wells Fargo Bank! Our Trade Triangle technology nailed Apple stock months ago and signaled its move to the downside.

Today's Video Newsletter: Google reports after the bell … and it could be a shocker!

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 22nd of January.

After the bell today, Google reports its fourth-quarter earnings and it could be a shocker. The stock is very close to its previous highs, and one could argue that it is up against technical resistance. Can today's earnings report overcome the resistance and turbo drive this stock's trend?

We are going to be looking at Google closely today and giving you our assessment and what we think will happen to it based on this afternoon's report. We will also be sharing our thoughts on FaceBook, which could steal a lot of Google's thunder in the months ahead.

On Wednesday, Apple reports its Q4 earnings and this could be another big shocker for the market. With its stock down 27% from the highs, things aren't looking so peachy for this once golden apple. We will cover this stock in our video today. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Google reports after the bell … and it could be a shocker!"

Today's Video Newsletter: Crude Oil makes its move, Apple falters, and Facebook gets primed

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 18th of January.

Looks like gas is going to start getting more expensive, a lot more expensive. Yesterday, the crude oil market broke above some important key technical levels according to our Trade Triangles. Crude oil also broke through a long term negative trend line. We now expect crude oil to make its way up to the $100 a barrel level. This will translate into much higher gas prices at the pump.

Whether this changes the current positive market climate for stocks remains to be seen, but as always, we will rely on our tried and trusted Trade Triangle technology to show us the way.

We will also be taking a close look at Apple today. Should we see this stock close below $500 a share, it will be the first time that Apple has closed on a Friday below $500 in almost a year, not a good sign for this market.

Today's Video Update: I have never been called a "chart monkey" before on live television

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 17th of January.

I just got back from New York late last night after doing some guest appearances on CNBC and Bloomberg television. It was in the latter show on Bloomberg TV doing a "Street Fighters" segment that Marshall Auerbach called technical traders "chart following monkeys". That's when all H*LL broke loose. Watch the video segment here.

Do you remember last week on MarketClub TV we were talking about the potential set up in crude oil? Well it looks like all systems are go this morning. The down trend line has been broken to the upside and our Trade Triangles are +100, indicating a strong trend to the upside for this commodity.
