Today's Daily Update: Is Gold Indicating Trouble Ahead?

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

As another trading week comes to a close, it is worth noting that gold is closing at a nine week high for a Friday. I believe that this is a significant event, and believe that gold has now put in a base to move higher later this year and next year.

It's a little ironic that hedge fund traders, like George Soros, recently divested themselves of their long gold positions, as it now appears that the market has put in a major base and wants to move higher. Continue reading "Today's Daily Update: Is Gold Indicating Trouble Ahead?"

Today's Video Update: Is this the top of the market?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 6th of August.

Every Market Deserves To Rest Once In A While
The indices appear to be on the defensive today, however that's not say we have reached a top or that the trend has changed from positive to negative. Trend changes tend to take time and usually don't happen overnight. For myself, the "line in the sand" on the DOW (INDEX:DJI) is the 15,400 level. It is at that level where I would exit my long position and move to the sidelines and await the next signal. Moving to the sidelines does not change the bigger trend picture for the DOW. I still remain long-term bullish, providing that the monthly Trade Triangle remains in the green column. Continue reading "Today's Video Update: Is this the top of the market?"

Today's Video Update: What's Ahead For August?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 2nd of August.

July turned out to be a great month to be in stocks and our Trade Triangles caught many stocks that were headed higher last month. The question is, how will the month of August play out? Typically the month of August is a quiet month, as most traders and investors take off to enjoy the last days of summer. August could be a strong month for the stock market this year, as there are strong trends in place that are pushing stocks higher and no evidence to suggest these trends are going to reverse anytime soon.

With the Fed committed to talking the market up to the tune of $85 billion a month, I seen no change in this policy as Chairman Bernanke prepares to exit the stage in January. What will happen in 2014 is anyone's guess, as the new Fed chairperson is going to be faced with having to dig us out of the ditch that we put ourselves in.

Today's Video Update: The Month of July Provided Solid Returns For Investors

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 31st of July.

What a month, with the DOW (INDEX:DJI) rallying to its highest level ever on the last day of the month. The NASDAQ (NASDAQ:COMP), not wanting to be left out of the parade, moved to its highest level in 13 years. The S&P (CME:SP500) also put in a solid monthly return of 5.50% for investors. Happy days are here again, as most investors were all smiles and happy to see that their portfolios and retirement account were looking a little bit better than last month.

Even the long suffering gold bulls had something to smile about as the longer-term bear market in gold managed to shake off some of its bearishness and rally. Gold closed out the month of July with a solid gain of 7.4%. Crude oil, which is in a bull market, followed right along producing gains of 7.50%.
