Today's Video Newsletter: Google reports after the bell … and it could be a shocker!

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 22nd of January.

After the bell today, Google reports its fourth-quarter earnings and it could be a shocker. The stock is very close to its previous highs, and one could argue that it is up against technical resistance. Can today's earnings report overcome the resistance and turbo drive this stock's trend?

We are going to be looking at Google closely today and giving you our assessment and what we think will happen to it based on this afternoon's report. We will also be sharing our thoughts on FaceBook, which could steal a lot of Google's thunder in the months ahead.

On Wednesday, Apple reports its Q4 earnings and this could be another big shocker for the market. With its stock down 27% from the highs, things aren't looking so peachy for this once golden apple. We will cover this stock in our video today. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Google reports after the bell … and it could be a shocker!" →

Today's Video Newsletter: Crude Oil makes its move, Apple falters, and Facebook gets primed

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 18th of January.

Looks like gas is going to start getting more expensive, a lot more expensive. Yesterday, the crude oil market broke above some important key technical levels according to our Trade Triangles. Crude oil also broke through a long term negative trend line. We now expect crude oil to make its way up to the $100 a barrel level. This will translate into much higher gas prices at the pump.

Whether this changes the current positive market climate for stocks remains to be seen, but as always, we will rely on our tried and trusted Trade Triangle technology to show us the way.

We will also be taking a close look at Apple today. Should we see this stock close below $500 a share, it will be the first time that Apple has closed on a Friday below $500 in almost a year, not a good sign for this market.

Today's Video Update: I have never been called a "chart monkey" before on live television

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 17th of January.

I just got back from New York late last night after doing some guest appearances on CNBC and Bloomberg television. It was in the latter show on Bloomberg TV doing a "Street Fighters" segment that Marshall Auerbach called technical traders "chart following monkeys". That's when all H*LL broke loose. Watch the video segment here.

Do you remember last week on MarketClub TV we were talking about the potential set up in crude oil? Well it looks like all systems are go this morning. The down trend line has been broken to the upside and our Trade Triangles are +100, indicating a strong trend to the upside for this commodity.

Today's Video Update: The Global Economy Comes Into Focus

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Jeremy Lutz here with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 16th of January.

Concerns about the global economy are weighing on the markets after the World Bank cut its forecast for global economic growth in 2013.

The World Bank said it now expects the global economy to expand by 2.4 percent in 2013 compared to its June forecast for 3 percent growth. Estimates suggest the global economy grew 2.3 in 2012.

On a positive note, a report from the Federal Reserve showed a slightly bigger than expected increase in U.S. industrial production in the month of December.

The report showed that industrial production increased by 0.3 percent in December following a revised 1.0 percent jump in November. Economists had expected production to edge up by 0.2 percent. Continue reading "Today's Video Update: The Global Economy Comes Into Focus" →

Surprise Apple's iPhone 5 isn't selling so well after all

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 14th of January.

The so-called surprise that Apple is not selling as many iPhone 5's as it first expected, is no surprise to MarketClub members. Our first clue that Apple wasn't shiny and selling as many iPhones as everyone first thought came in October, over three months ago!! Our weekly Trade Triangle flashed an exit signal for Apple on 10/02/12 at $656.00. A major sell or short signal was given for Apple exactly one month later on 11/02/12 at $587.70.

Presently our Trade Triangle technology indicates that a short position in Apple stock is in order.

Remember the Amazon/Walmart trade we talked about last week? That trade is a spread trade to be long Amazon, while at the same time shorting a similar dollar amount of Walmart stock. What you are looking for in this trade is for the relationship between the two stocks to broaden, percentage wise, in favor of the long position. That could mean that Amazon keeps going up or it could mean that Walmart continues to erode, either way you'll make money if the stocks continue to diverge. This trade, or "hedge" trade as I like to call it, picked up 4% last week. This was far more than the general market did in any of the sectors. We still see this trade working as more and more of the middle class will be shopping online and not in brick and mortar stores, except for their food supplies.
