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%.

Today's Video Update: Walmart, Ammo and The Constitution

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 29th of July.

It Is All About Commerce, That Is What Makes America Strong
Over the weekend I stopped at Walmart (NYSE:WMT), as I needed to purchase some Allen wrenches to make some adjustments to my new bicycle. I was standing in Walmart next to where they sell guns and I ran into Dave and Joe, two regular, everyday Americans. Dave, a Walmart employee, was telling Joe that he could only buy three boxes of ammo when they had it in stock. With that comment, I decided to ask him why was Walmart, one of the largest retailers in the country, restricting purchases of ammo to everyday Americans?

The answer I got was that there is a shortage of ammo in America. Dave repeated that Walmart cannot get enough supply because Homeland Security has been buying vast amounts of ammo for what reason Dave did not know. Here is the point that I am making, by restricting Walmart and other companies, you're really not helping the employment picture. Especially when it's an artificial shortage brought on by the administration.

Now before I go any further, I just want to say that I do not own a gun, so I have no axe to grind on that front. But I do have an axe to grind with the administration that seems to go against everything that's in the Constitution. Mainly, the right to bear arms. The government is creating problems for business and employment when it steps in-between demand and supply chains that work efficiently when left alone. If history has taught us anything it is this, when you have any kind of restrictions or controls come into a free market, they never ever work. The free market ,with all its imperfections, is still more efficient and works better when it's left alone, than any government policy the world has ever seen.

Today's Video Update: Apple Rocks With After-Hours Action

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 24th of July.

Yesterday, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) surprised analysts with better-than-expected iPhone sales, and indicated that it expects a "busy fall" with new products.

Apple CEO, Tim Cook, said in a statement, "We are laser-focused and working hard on some amazing new products that we will introduce in the fall and across 2014."

In after-hours trading, the market voted with a dramatic 5% rally in Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). If you haven't already watched my special report first published on 07/13/13 on Apple, watch it here.

Has Gold Run Out Of Gas?
I will be taking a closer look at Gold (FOREX:XAUUSDO) to see whether the Gold market has run into an important resistance level of $1,340. This could be where gold turns back down and we could see a correction back down to the $1,300 level. I will have in-depth coverage of gold in today's video report.

Is Netflix The New HBO?

I am taking a little time off up at my summer home in Maine, mainly to escape the heat and humidity of Maryland. My home is about 10 miles from Brunswick, home to Bowdoin College, a nationally renowned liberal arts school. I say that for a reason, because one of Bowdoin's most famous alumni is a gentleman named Reed Hastings. Now Reed Hastings is not exactly a household name, but certainly the company he founded in 1998 is … the name of that company is Netflix.

I just finished watching an interview with Reed Hastings and wow, is he ever focused on delivering a first-class customer experience. Before I go any further and for full disclosure I do subscribe to both Netflix's streaming and DVD service.

As Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) just announced their earnings yesterday after the bell, I thought maybe it's time to update my outlook on this stock again. I have been talking about this stock's upside potential for months and I am not alone as Carl Ichan also likes Netflix and is one of its biggest investors. Yesterday's dramatic drop after Netflix announced its earnings was perhaps a little bit of a knee-jerk reaction. In today's video, I will be looking at both long-term and intermediate-term trends using MarketClub's tried and trusted Trade Triangle technology.

The old adage of "follow the money" applies to all stocks and is the right one to use, in my opinion. So without further ado, let's delve into the world of Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and see where it has come from and where it's going.
