The Trade Triangles Spotted Trouble With Wells Fargo 12 Months Ago

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. No doubt by now you have heard of all the problems Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) is having in creating fictitious, and I would say illegal accounts. What you probably didn't know is the fact that the Trade Triangles picked up problems with Wells Fargo on August 21, 2015, when the stock was selling at $54.45. That was over 13 months ago, and the news is just now hitting the market.

The Trade Triangles provide an entirely unbiased opinion of all the markets. Many times people on the inside know there's a problem and that problem manifests itself in price action. That is where the Trade Triangles shine. Continue reading "The Trade Triangles Spotted Trouble With Wells Fargo 12 Months Ago"

Stuck In The Twilight Zone

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. It would seem as though the markets are stuck in a twilight zone not knowing whether to go up or go down. This has been the case for a few months now and when we go through periods like this in the market, one has to say to oneself, "be patient and wait for the opportunities to come up," they always do.

Today's keyword is patience.

The way to look at the markets when they move into a choppy period is to look at the big trends. The odds favor a resumption of a market's major trend. It doesn't always work out that way, but if you're betting with the odds, it is the way to go.

Here are the major trends for each of the major markets according to the Trade Triangle technology based on last Friday's close. Continue reading "Stuck In The Twilight Zone"

How One Tech Companies Misfortune Was A Blessing For Apple

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. Yesterday's mandatory recall of all of the Samsung's 7 Note devices is a huge blow for Samsung. Up until yesterday, Samsung was trying to recall and replace batteries that were overheating and causing fires and were a danger to the public and transportation systems everywhere. With this news, the stock of Samsung collapsed literally, and Apple's stock price soared.

What is interesting is that Apple begins delivery of its new iPhone 7 today. I can't help wondering if there wasn't some political maneuvering behind the scenes in this recall move. Yesterday, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a full recall of the Galaxy Note 7 products in conjunction with Samsung. The formal recall covers about 1 million devices.

The exact wording that the US Consumer Products Safety Commission used was as follows: "Consumers should immediately stop using and power down the recalled Galaxy Note 7 devices purchased before September 15, 2016". Samsung's stock price started slipping on September 9 after what has been a pretty good year for this stock. The big question is how much damage has been done to this mega electronics companies reputation and can it come back to its former glory?

The Battle Continues Between The Bulls And The Bears

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. Choppy, choppy, choppy that's the only way to describe the recent market action as the Bears and the Bulls battle each other for domination. It reminds you of the election and the fight between the Democrats and the Republicans. Eventually, there will be a direction and a trend both politically and financially. My job here at MarketClub is to help you determine that trend and get on the right side – I am of course referring to the financial markets and not the politics of today.

Indexes: All of the major indices still have their long-term monthly Trade Triangles intact. The intermediate trend based on the weekly Trade Triangles is down which is reflecting the choppy action that we have seen the last few days. What is interesting is if you look at the weekly charts and the weekly RSI you can see that all of the indices are above the 50 support line indicating that the trend is likely to resume to the upside. However, there are no guarantees and I will rely on the weekly Trade Triangles to tell me when to get back on the long side of the market again.

Haven't We Seen All Of This Before?

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. There is no doubt about it Friday's move was sharp and painful for many investors. However, if you are following the Trade Triangles you were out of the market and on the sidelines based on the red weekly Trade Triangle's that were indicating potential problems for all the major indices.

MarketClub's Mid-day Market Report

Looking back, Friday's move looks very similar to the move we saw on June 24 of this year when the market dropped dramatically on a Friday only to open lower on Monday. The markets then reversed themselves and moved up and made back all their losses in just four or five days.

The big question is, is this going to be a repeat of last June? Continue reading "Haven't We Seen All Of This Before?"
