Yesterday, We Posed The Question....

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Wednesday, the 24th of August.

Yesterday we posed the questions: Has the Gold and Silver market topped out? And have we seen the bottom in the Equity markets?

Today, Gold and Silver confirmed that they have topped out for the time being. The Equity markets are another story, and I'm not quite sure that we have seen a bottom put in place for those markets.

Be sure to catch tomorrow morning's post! Most markets go through seven distinguishable steps and it would appear that Gold has met all those criteria. This post will be invaluable, in my opinion, for any serious trader. I think you'll find it very timely and interesting. You should make yourself aware of these seven steps so you can recognize them in the future.

Has The Gold and Silver Market Topped out?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Tuesday, the 23rd of August.

Has the Gold and Silver market topped out? Have we seen the bottom in the equity markets?

I'm sure these are questions traders are asking themselves as we are halfway through the trading day.

It would appear that the downward momentum in the equity markets has abated for the moment and we should expect to see more of a two-way market. However that does not change the overall bearish longer-term trend.

The Gold market traded over the $1,900 level, before dropping dramatically and creating what could potentially be a negative engulfing line for the Gold and Silver markets. If this is confirmed on Wednesday, it would mean that gold prices have topped out for the short term and the $2000 level for Gold will have to be put on hold for the time being.

The Crude Oil market continues to be in a negative trend, and the Dollar Index and the CRB index are generally in a sideways mode.

Forget The News If You Want To Trade Successfully!

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere, Adam Hewison here co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Monday the 22th of August.

Forget the news, if you want to trade successfully.

Many news stories, particularly when it comes to the markets, are basically fed to reporters by folks who have a vested interest in that particular market. I've seen this happen time and time again, when information is given to an online anchor or someone else who is on air and reading the latest news. The information that they report, may be not accurate. In the competitive rush to get news online, and be the 1st to break a story, very few stories are ever checked and triple checked.

So we wake up this morning with the potential conflict in Libya over, and Libya's Colonel Qaddafi's 42-year reign of insanity has maybe come to an end. Based on that news, the Dow rallies up over 200 points. Let's see, that little conflict cost the US about 1 trillion dollars, money we don't have. How could that be good for the market? Now we are tying the news in Libya to the markets here and the terrible economic conditions that exist - it is a stretch by anyone's imagination. The truth is, that the markets probably rallied based on a short covering. Many active traders went home with short positions over the weekend. When the markets did not follow through to the downside they quickly covered their short positions and pushed the market higher.

So here's my advice, do not pay too much attention to the news. Let the market, and the price action give you all the direction you need. Market action is the # 1 item to watch to be a successful trader.

Lowest Trailing P/E Ratio In 2 Decades, But...

Today Price will share some of his insight on the recent sell-off and his predictions on the week ahead.

If you thought two weeks ago was rough, last week's 7.0% slide made the previous week's 4.0% pullback look like child's play. There is sort of' a bright spot in there though, IF the bulls play their cards right and the bears still aren't angry. (That's a big if though.)

Before we slice and dice the market though, let's run down last week's and this week's big economic numbers.

Economic Calendar:

Even relatively good news was treated like bad news last week by expert market analysts. Mainly, a slightly optimistic employment picture still didn't stave off some serious selling. The unemployment rate fell from 9.2% to 9.1%; job creation easily topped the expected figure of 100K with 154K new payrolls added, and unemployment claims basically held steady. Nobody cared.
