Never miss another major move again, and this headline proves it

Severe Russian drought forces grain export ban - Moscow, Russia (CNN) -- As Russia reels from the worst drought in nearly 40 years ...

The wheat market is the hottest market in the world right now due to severe drought in Russia. But how did MarketClub's "Trade Triangle" technology do in this rocket-to-the-stars market?

MarketClub's "Trade Triangle" technology received a "go long" wheat signal over 6 weeks ago. Wheat was trading at $5.17 back then. It is now trading at over $8.00 a bushel.

Wheat is one of the six key components in MarketClub's World Cup Portfolio (WCP - formerly World Commodity Portfolio). In the twelve quarters we have tracked this portfolio, wheat has been profitable in 11 out of those twelve quarters. This quarter looks to be a bonanza with profits in excess of $11,000 per contract.

In the this video I show you the move, the "Trade Triangles," and the results. It is a not to be missed video.

The "World Cup Portfolio" returns to its winning ways in Q2

Posted on by The INO.com Team

MarketClub's "World Cup Portfolio"(WCP - formerly World Commodity Portfolio)  returned to its winning ways in Q2 as the markets proved to be in a trending and profitable mode. Just as we predicted in our last report, Q2 put us into the black and on our way to a good year. The return for the quarter was 14% based on the $50,000 needed to fund the "World Cup Portfolio".

With the completion of Q2, we now have three solid years under our belt. The annual return using the "World Cup Portfolio" has produced a return on average of 227% per annum. While this is an amazing return, we do not think it is sustainable, nor should it be seen as a sustainable return in the future.

It could be a perfect weekend for this particular trading rule

Posted on by The INO.com Team

We published this trading rule on our blog almost 5 months ago, February 10 to be exact. You can look it up if you wish. With gold making all time highs on Friday, it seems like the perfect candidate for this rule. Just remember, there are no guarantees in trading.

I learned this rule over 3 decades ago in the markets from a low-key trader named Bill. Using his special trading technique, Bill made millions and millions of dollars from his office. The best part is that this technique is still working more than 30 years after it was taught to me and why I insist on sharing it with as many traders as possible.

Morituri te salutant = Those who are about to die, salute you

Posted on by The INO.com Team

I recently had the good fortune to travel to France with my wife on holiday. We both wanted to go to Provence which is an area in France that is steeped in history and Roman antiquities.

Okay I admit, we did eat some great food and how could we not drink the wine. What's that expression, "When in Rome … "? Also Provence is home to Châteauneuf du Pape, one of the worlds best known wine regions.

We traveled all over Provence taking in the sights, smells, and yes, our share of wine. It was during a visit to the small city of Arles that the immensity of the Roman Empire really struck me. It was there that I witnessed the awe of a true Roman amphitheater.

This brings me to the popular myth, "Morituri te salutant," known as the gladiators salute. This was what was supposedly said before every gladiatorial contest in Rome and cities like Arles before the gladiators went into combat. Now I ask you, is that something that you would say before going into hand-to-hand combat with an uncertain outcome? I can think of a great many things I would be say, but "Morituri te salutant" would not be one of them. Continue reading "Morituri te salutant = Those who are about to die, salute you" →

The 6 Advantages of ETFs

Posted on by The INO.com Team

ETFs, or Exchange Traded Funds, have increased in popularity over the last few years, and for a number of reasons. Today, Price Headley of BigTrends.com, is going to give us the low-down on everything we need to know about this increasingly utilized financial product.

We hope you'll enjoy today's guest blog post and perhaps consider adding ETFs or ETF options to your portfolio in the near future. As always, we're interested in hearing what you have to say about this post or your experiences trading ETFS in our comments section.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In recent years the popularity of ETF Options has exploded.  At BigTrends.com we have focused on ETFs for quite some time now.

The issue with ETFs and ETF Options has always been liquidity, but things have changed in that regard.  Due to the advantageous architecture of ETFs, more investors are hedging their portfolios with ETF options.  To understand the reason these vehicles are changing the options environment, let's take a look at the underlying securities and their benefits.

1. ETFs Trade Like a Stock - Unlike mutual funds or hedge funds which can only be entered or exited at the market close each trading day, ETFs can be bought and sold intraday.  They can even be day-traded just like stocks.  This advantage allows investors to make speculative bets on the direction of an index while still having the ability to exit the trade at any time of the day.  ETFs also allow short selling, as well as often being optionable.
