Who Is Going To Bet Against George Soros?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. The big question today is, who is going to say George Soros is wrong? This is the same man who bet against the Bank of England in 1993 and made over a billion dollars! That is when a billion dollars used to be worth a whole lot more than it is now.

One expression I heard many years ago in the early part of my career is, "they don't ring a bell at the top of the market." It's one of the best expressions I have ever heard in the marketplace and it's true, nobody tells you exactly when it's the top of the market.

Whether this is the top, or we are close to the top, it really is too early to say. However, there is a certain feeling in the air of uncertainty and that alone can cause stocks to go down. Continue reading "Who Is Going To Bet Against George Soros?" →

Is The Stock Market Decoupling From Crude Oil?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. This morning crude oil moved over $51 a barrel, its best level in nine months. In the last couple of years, there has been a strong correlation between the stock market and the price of crude oil. But, is that correlation about to decouple?

MarketClub's Mid-day Market Report

In today's video, I will be analyzing crude oil (NYMEX:CL.N16.E) and providing you with potential profit targets. Now that the $50 level has been breached, you can look at $50 as perhaps the new floor for crude oil. Since the beginning of the year, I have seen a fairly consistent move to the upside that many economists missed, yet the Trade Triangles have flourished with their non-opinionated approach to the market.

The Story of Three A's - Apple, Amazon and Alphabet

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. Well, we are at the beginning of a new week on a rather unusual day when we have three sixes in the date, that's not going to happen again until the 26th or until we hit 2026. That occurrence aside, I want to take a look at all the markets and in particular, the three A's

Did Warren Buffett Get It Wrong With Apple?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. After years of avoiding tech stocks and missing the tech boom, legendary investor Warren Buffett purchased through Berkshire Hathaway 9.8 million shares of Apple on May 16th, worth roughly $1.07 billion, according to a filing for the first quarter with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

What's interesting here is hedge fund giant, David Tepper, exited his 1.2 million stake in Apple and in April, Carl Icahn said he no longer holds any shares in Apple.

So who is right? David Tepper and Carl Icahn for selling their shares of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) Or Warren Buffett for buying the stock? Well, it all begins with your time perspective. In the case of David Tepper and Carl Icahn, they tend to be traders as opposed to Mr. Buffett, who tends to be a long-term investor. Now I can say this about Mr. Buffett; he is not a tech guy and he missed out on the big move in all of the tech stocks. So if you are a long-term investor, it may not be a bad move to buy Apple. If you're more of a trader, then you probably want to be out of the stock of the moment.

Here is my take on Apple. Continue reading "Did Warren Buffett Get It Wrong With Apple?" →

Are Stocks Going To Sizzle Or Wilt This Summer?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. We are all back from a long holiday weekend and traders are wondering what's in store for the summer – are stocks going to sizzle and go higher or are they going to wilt under the threat of higher interest rates?

MarketClub's Mid-day Market Report

Predicting the future is a hazardous profession at best. So often I have seen respected economists and gurus fall flat on their faces with future predictions. The best way to look at the future, in my opinion, is that it will arrive and there will be many opportunities. That is why I let the market predict what it wants to do. Remember, the market is made up of millions of people whose collective judgment is often wrong at the top and bottom of the market. What is always be right, in the long run, is the market itself.

In today's video, I will be looking at the usual suspects – indices, gold, crude oil and one or two stocks that look interesting.

Stay focused and disciplined.

Every success with MarketClub,
