Government Shutdown Imminent - Here's My Take

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for the last day of the month and quarter, Monday the 30th of September.

It's hard to know where to begin, so let's begin at the beginning. I think we should throw all the Republicans and Democrats out of office - they are absolutely not helping America move forward and get back on its feet again.

What is happening now in Washington is a childish squabble between two completely different ideologies without any grown ups in the room.

I believe that both parties have lost sight of the big picture, and that's making America strong economically. That means creating jobs, putting people back to work and to live within our means. If we can't afford it, we can't afford it - end of story.

These simple concepts seem to be beyond the grasp of the two parties and the last thing on either parties mind. It's all about, whats in it for me, and I want to keep my position of power and job come h@ll or high water. Continue reading "Government Shutdown Imminent - Here's My Take"

Is The Market Slide Over?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 24th of September.

The four day slide in the DOW (INDEX:DJI) pulled this index back to a perfect 30.2% Fibonacci retracement, where the market found support. With our long and intermediate term Trade Triangles in a positive mode, I am looking for this and the other market indices to resume their upward trend. The headwinds are of course, funding of the federal government, tapering, Syria and Muslim extremism. Any of those events could spook the markets in the month of October.

Today, President Obama is speaking at the United Nations (now there is a misnomer). I'm not sure what that's going to do, as the UN has been a largely ineffective organization since its inception on 24th of October, 1945. The U.S., thanks to your tax dollars, funds 22% of the UN, China 5.15%, and Russia 2.5%.

Gold continues to struggle and the question is, is gold close to a major bottom? I will be examining gold, plus reporting on the following stocks in today's video report.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL)
Facebook (NASDAQ:FB)
Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX)
Pandora Media (NYSE:P)
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)

If you would like to leave a comment on anything I have discussed in today's video, we would love to get your feedback.

Have a great trading day,

Apple Unleashes The New iPhones Today

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 20th of September.

Today, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) began to officially sell its new iPhones, the 5S and 5C, around the world. Long lines were reported in Europe, Asia and here in the States as Apple loyalists lined up to buy the latest and greatest from Apple.

Is Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) going to sell as many of the new iPhones as it has in the past? I think so, many iPhone users myself included, did not upgrade to the iPhone 5 last time. I will be upgrading this time and trading in my 4S for a brand new, fingerprint ready 5S. I think many other Apple users will be doing the same thing in this new product update cycle.

On Wednesday, like many other iPhone users, I downloaded the new IOS7 operating system for the iPhone and iPad. I have to say the new interface is clean, pretty slick, beautifully designed and works like a charm. The good news for everyone is that Apple made this upgrade free of charge.

Bernanke Blinks And Addiction Goes On

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 19th of September.

I have been saying for some time that the Fed is not going to do anything until January 2014, when there will be a change in the chairmanship. It goes back to that fundamental human trait of "wanting everyone to like me." I think Ben Bernanke wants to be seen as a benevolent Fed chairman when he retires in 2014. This is classic Washington politics, where the Fed chairman gives a very gracious speech saying that it's been a challenge and he enjoyed his time as chairman of the Fed, but he'll leave out the part where it's not his problem now.

Whoever becomes the next Fed chairperson will face monumental challenges trying to extricate the country out of this spending binge and gluttony of cheap money. I suspect that had the Fed known they would be no further forward in 2014 when they took this quantitative easing course four years ago, they would have chosen another course of action to stimulate the economy.

Here is a quick question for you, how many zeros are in $1 trillion? Continue reading "Bernanke Blinks And Addiction Goes On"

Stocks Soar With Summers' Exit

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 16th of September.

News that Larry Summers was withdrawing his name for consideration as the next Fed chairman sent stocks soaring overnight in Asia and Europe. When the US markets opened, it followed through and helped push many stocks to new highs. Today I will be looking at the indices and certain stocks that I think are worthy of your consideration.

I will also be looking at Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Pandora Media (NASDAQ:P). Can they still grow and make money? Continue reading "Stocks Soar With Summers' Exit"
