Are Interest Rates Going To Kill This Bull Market?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 8th of
November.

The Beat Goes On, Or Does It?

As the indices make new highs, interest rates have turned and are once again beginning to creep up. It certainly appears to be a strong indication that interest rates have indeed bottomed out. If interest rates continue to improve, meaning high yields for investors, I see this as a potential negative for the market in 2014.

Next year is going to be a dramatic year in the markets in my opinion, as we have a new Fed chairperson, rumored to be Janet Yellen, taking over from helicopter Ben. Ms. Yellen is going to have her work cut out for her trying to clean up the 4-year mess that she is inheriting. Whatever course of action Ms. Yellen embarks on will certainly have major ramifications for the markets, not just here in the United States, but also around the globe.

Three Reasons Why Gold's Best Days Are Ahead

The Gold Report: Sean, over the next two months, you'll be launching two different newsletters. The first one will be called Gold and Resource Trader. Why is now the right time to debut?

Sean Brodrick: It is a good idea because gold is generally hated right now. I like to look smart. One way to look smart is to buy things near a bottom and then hold onto them as they increase in value.

There is real value in the gold mining area. I ran a screen recently showing 25 miners trading on U.S. exchanges below book value. Some of them I wouldn't buy, but some I would. This shows that real value is there. We are closer to the bottom than we were to the top, so now is a good time to get in.

TGR: Tell us about the second newsletter you're going to launch in January? Continue reading "Three Reasons Why Gold's Best Days Are Ahead"

Is The Bull Run Over?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 8th of
November.

General indices in the U.S. are in bull trends and I expect to see these trends resume and continue for the balance of 2013. Near term, I expect to see stocks begin to consolidate their recent gains before once again moving higher.

Watch what I said about Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) last night on CNBC Asia. Does anyone out there remember the dot-com days? Is it deja vu all over again with Twitter? Continue reading "Is The Bull Run Over?"

Is Costco (COST) the new hot stock?

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

Could Costco (NASDAQ:COST) be the new hot stock for investors? Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) still looks good and has all three Trade Triangles positive, suggesting that this stock is in strong hands. Yesterday, Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) earnings created a short-circuit in many investors' minds, causing the stock to drop 14% today. In addition to these stocks, I'll also be covering the major indices, gold, which gave a short-term buy signal today, crude oil and the Dollar.

COST - The New Hot Stock?

Indicator Shows Gold Could Finally Be Bottoming

By: Michael J. Carr of Street Authority

Stocks moved up the fourth week in a row and have delivered a large gain in the first 10 months of the year. For now, there is no reason to expect a reversal in the trend.

Stocks Continue Setting New Highs SPDR SP 500 (NYSE: SPY) added another 0.15% last week and is now up 25.55% for the year, including dividends.

To put this performance into perspective, we can review data for the SP 500 index going back to 1928. This year's performance would be the 22nd best year out of 86. After such a strong performance, many investors expect a decline, and the question becomes, "How bad will the decline be?" Continue reading "Indicator Shows Gold Could Finally Be Bottoming"
