Daily Video Update: "Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit."

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 1st of November.

"Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" is a common British superstition which states that a person should say the words "rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" out loud upon waking on the first day of the month. According to legend and lore, this will ensure good luck for the duration of that month.

One trader I knew on the floor of the CME carried a rabbit's foot in his pocket everyday! He claimed it gave him good luck with his trading. Judging from his success, I would have to say it worked!!

So don't forget, on the first of December to say "rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" when you wake up. It can't hurt.

The stock markets are gradually getting back to normal and into the swing of things again. Certainly today's 1% rally in the major indices is a good indication that more and more traders are once again back at their desks and focusing on the markets.

Luckily our corporate headquarters, which are based in the mid-Atlantic region on the Chesapeake Bay, missed the wrath of this very serious storm.

After the closing bell tonight we have the number one tech company, Apple, reporting their earnings, as well as the number one online consumer company, Amazon, reporting their earnings.

I think you will find how we are positioned might be very contrary to popular opinion.
