Are we headed for a financial Armageddon? I don't think so

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 Monday, the 14th of October.

It's day 14 of the government shutdown and it's certainly getting down to crunch time where someone is going to have to blink. I think both parties know how angry the populace is with their childish behavior. In my opinion, the National Park Service should be fired for what they did with the open air monuments.

Last week's market didn't close badly with the expectation that we would have a resolution in place this past weekend. That was not to be case and the major indices are lower this morning.

UPDATE: Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) flashes a major buy signal. Continue reading "Are we headed for a financial Armageddon? I don't think so" →

Government Shutdown Imminent - Here's My Take

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 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 Wal-Mart in trouble?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE:WMT) is the largest retailer in the world, and if they are have problems, then we really have to examine and be concerned about what is really happening to the economy.

Yesterday, it was reported that Wal-Mart stores were cutting back on U.S. orders amid an inventory backlog. It was later denied by David Tovar a spokesperson for Wal-Mart. However, true or false it managed to push the stock of Wal-Mart down over 2% on the day.

That is a fundamental viewpoint. What is interesting technically about Wal-Mart is the fact that it recently broke below a 25 month trend line.Trend lines are enormously important for determining the momentum and trends of stocks, commodities, and any number of items that can be charted. In order to be a valid trend line, it must touch three points along the line to be truly meaningful. The longer the time frame, the more meaningful and powerful the trend line becomes. A two year trend line like Wal-Mart recently broke thru to the downside is significant and should not be ignored.

Is The Market Slide Over?

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 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

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 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.
