Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 27th of August.

Syria Shakes The Market
Reading the news this morning, I see that we're going to strike Syria with cruise missiles and bombs as early as Thursday. How nice of us to announce what we are going to do in advance. No one knows what is going to happen when and if these events occur. All we can go on is the collective judgment of the market.

Bill Ackman Surrenders
Bill Ackman finally surrenders and shows how you can lose $500 million on a trade. In my humble opinion, activist investors should not be getting into old-style retail marketing stores like JC Penney (NYSE:JCP). Continue reading "Today's Video Update: Syria Shakes The Market" →

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 26th of August.

The big news today is that Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) has agreed to buy Onyx Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ONXX) for $10.4 billion. Amgen, the world's biggest biotechnology company, was missing from one of the biggest and fastest growing markets, cancer drugs. With the acquisition of Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Amgen will gain access to the company's three anticancer treatments. I will be analyzing Amgen today using our Trade Triangle technology and will share with you the trading results for the year so far.

Today's Video Update: Steve Ballmer calls it quits

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 23rd of August.

The big news today of course is the announcement from Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) CEO, Steve Ballmer, that he's going to retire within the next 12 months. The news was enough to send the stock of Microsoft up over 7%, which is good news for shareholders.

In my opinion, one of the major reasons why the stock of Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has been unable to get going over the last decade is its failure to execute on any of the new technologies. Whether its online, mobile, phones, tablets or Windows 8, all of these efforts proved to be disappointments to investors and the market in general.

Today's Video Update: Tears for Sears after disappointing earnings

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 22nd of August.

What is it with these hedge fund managers who think that because they have been successful in one field, they can now go into managing big retail brick-and-mortar stores?

In my opinion, part of it has to do with ego and part of it has to do with what I call "walk-on-water-itis." This ego symptom is when you believe that you can't do anything wrong and that you're gifted with special talents. That is what I think happened to both Bill Ackman, who took JC Penney (NYSE:JCP) down the toilet, and Eddie Lampert, who is doing a pretty good job of the same thing to Sears (NASDAQ:SHLD).

Today's Video Update: Time to buy the Dow and Netflix?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 21st of August.

The Dow (INDEX:DJI) has fallen back 61.8%, a key Fibonacci retracement level, and is now in an area where it should stabilize and start to move up once again. Everybody is waiting for the Fed minutes this afternoon, but I don't think there will be any change in the Fed policy for the time being.

With yesterday's news of Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) acquiring the exclusive broadcast rights to Weinstein films, Netflix stock shot up dramatically. I have been bullish on Netflix for some time and I continue to think this market is headed for an all time high around $300. Would I buy Netflix around current levels? Yes, with tight money-management stops. Continue reading "Today's Video Update: Time to buy the Dow and Netflix?" →
