Daily Video Update: Earnings sink the markets and Spain gets downgraded AGAIN!

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 23rd of October.

It is as if the world just woke up from a fantasy dream and they are seeing the markets for the first time through reality glasses.

According to comments made this morning from the Head of the Bank of Israel, Stanley Fisher, the "world is close to recession". He just might be right.

You know what I am going to say next…

Using our Trade Triangle technology, not knowing what the head of the Bank of Israel was going to say this morning, you would have missed the current downdraft in the major markets today and yesterday. In fact, you would have been on the sidelines for the past two weeks! Taking a position on the sidelines, is a position in and of itself. With a sidelines position you are protecting your capital from uncertainty which is clearly the concern of many investors today.

Daily Video Update: The most important debate in American politics takes place tonight. Are you going to watch?

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

One of the big untold stories in 2012 is the fact that the stock market is up 15% for the year and has outperformed every other asset class. The last time this happened was in 1995, so it is pretty unusual. With a couple of months to go before year end, we'll see how things play out.

Now, it could be argued that the massive ongoing stimulus acted to propel stocks higher. It could also be argued that it was the policies of this current administration that pushed stocks up. Either way, the market is higher for the year. As traders we try not to think about who or what is causing a market to move, we simply like to get the direction right and go with the major trend.

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 19th of October.

The sad news is I don't think it has. A panic, is a panic, is a panic. The reality is when everybody wants out of the market at the same time there are not enough doors open to stop a mass exodus. That is the history and nature of market crashes and it is why they are called panics.

Now for the good news, with our Trade Triangle technology you will be alerted before a panic takes place. Such was the case in 1987 and also in 2007.

MarketClub TV for 10/18/12: It's official, the US is now spending $1,000,000,000,000 in welfare payments!

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

It's hard to believe or even fathom that the United States should be paying over $1 trillion a year in welfare benefits. This is an unsustainable number by anyone's math.

Because of this massive expenditure, we're going to see gold skyrocket as paper money becomes worth less and less when reality sets in.

If you were around in the 70's and thought inflation was bad then, it's going to pale in comparison to what's coming up. The only value will be held in land, gold, and raw commodities that can be traded on a barter system.

I hate to sound so negative, but the reality is we did this to ourselves and have no one else to blame. Continue reading "MarketClub TV for 10/18/12: It's official, the US is now spending $1,000,000,000,000 in welfare payments!"

Daily Video Update: Consumer Confidence Grows

Hello traders everywhere! Jeremy Lutz with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 15th of October.

Stocks move higher today after a strong gain in retail spending suggested that consumers could be getting more confident about the economy. The Commerce Department said retail sales rose 1.1 percent last month after a 1.2 percent increase in August. Those are the largest gains since October 2010.

The price of oil is falling today and giving back the gains from last week. The focus instead is on weaker oil demand. On Friday, the International Energy Agency issued a new report predicting slower growth in demand for oil over the next five years. The agency also forecast that supplies will increase as the global economy struggles to grow.

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