Hello, MarketClub members and traders everywhere! Today I'm going to be looking at 10 well-known stocks and determine what the future holds for them.
Among those 10 stocks, I will be looking at Google and Yahoo and showing you why these two stocks may not be the place to have your money in Q2.
Here are the 10 stocks I'm analyzing in today's video. Continue reading "Have Google And Yahoo Lost Their Mojo?"
Last year was another good year for the stock market with all the indices ending up on a positive note.
The DOW was able to make it into the positive column by 7.5%, the S&P 500 managed to outdo the DOW with a double digit return of 11.5% and standing on the top of the hill was the NASDAQ index, which put in a stellar 13.9% performance for the year.
What if there was another way to make money, one that had about the same amount of risk, but produced higher returns on your money - now that would that be interesting, don't you think?
Two years ago, we started our model Internet portfolio which consists of 5 stocks. We divided the funding for this portfolio into 5 equal amounts of $10,000 each and used that to trade as many shares as we could both from the long and short side of the market.
The stock we chose to trade in this Internet portfolio are Facebook Inc.(NASDAQ:FB), Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX), Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO), Yelp Inc. (NYSE:YELP), and finally Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN). Based on the stock's price, we traded the maximum number of shares we could for each stock, rounding down if needed.
The first year tracking this portfolio (2013), we had a stand out year with a return of 65.3%. Last year (2014) this portfolio performed well, easily outperforming all the major indices and beating the top performing NASDAQ. For 2014, the Internet portfolio put in a super performance of 16.4%. While not as good as 2013, it was nevertheless a very positive one when you measure it against other stock portfolios.
The signals for this portfolio, along with our other two model portfolios, the World Cup portfolio and the Perfect ETF portfolio are provided for you.
If you are looking to start 2015 off on the right foot, with a clear direction, then one of these model portfolios could be the answer you are looking for. Each portfolio carries, like all investments, a degree of risk.
The most conservative portfolio is our Perfect ETF portfolio. The Internet portfolio has a slightly higher degree of risk. Our World Cup portfolio carries the most amount of risk and is not for everyone. However, it does have a place in large portfolios as a non-correlating asset class.
Have a question about the Internet portfolio? Please comment below this post.
Every success in 2015 with any of MarketClub model portfolios!

Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere, Happy Monday. It's a very happy Monday morning for Bill Ackman who owns 32% of Allergan's stock. I would also like to point out that it is a happy Monday for many MarketClub members who read on our blog over two months ago about this stock. I also did a special update on Allergan Inc. (NYSE:AGN) on October 31.
In today's video, I will be looking at the major indices, plus several stocks that are popping up on my radar screen today. These stocks include Apple Inc. (APPLE:AAPL), Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) and Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB).
Did you take advantage of Apple's new 52 week high with our 52-week high on a Friday rule? It looks to be heading higher today.

Overnight actions by the Bank of Japan jump-started the equity markets to seven-year highs in that country, plunging the Japanese yen to its lowest levels since 2008.
The Bank of Japan's big market-moving announcement was that they will triple purchases of exchange-traded funds and real-estate investment trusts. This was clearly a big surprise to all the markets and it sent a big message to the currency markets. This will affect all the other Asian countries as they too will be forced to compete against a cheaper Japanese Yen. Can you say that the currency wars are just starting?
The move by The Bank of Japan (BOJ) was all that was needed to send gold and crude oil prices crashing to the downside.
In today's video, I'll be looking at the U.S. Dollar VS the Japanese Yen (FOREX:USDJPY), gold (FOREX:XAUUSDO) prices, which gave a major sell signal today and crude oil (NYMEX:CL.Z14.E) prices, as they continue their downward spiral.
I'll also be following up on some of the stock picks that I talked about earlier this week:
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)
Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA)
Facebook Inc. (NASDSAQ:FB)
Allergan Inc. (NYSE:AGN)
I'll also be looking for some stocks to trade over the weekend with "The 52-Week New Highs on Friday" trading rules.
As always, I welcome your comments and feedback. Please feel free to leave a comment or question below this post.
And don't forget follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
Have a great weekend everyone,
