Daily Video Update: America doesn't run on gold, it runs on …

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 9th of October.

Have you ever try stuffing a gold bar in your fuel tank?

I am sure you haven't, and that is the point I want to make today. America runs on number two diesel fuel, not on gold bars. Without fuel, America's economy is dead in the water.

Every year the world needs more and more energy. China and India provide good examples as the working class are moving from bicycles to mopeds and in some cases, even cars. All this upward mobility takes energy, and the energy for now is petroleum based.

India and China have a combined population of 2.9 billion, representing 36% of the world's population. To put that in perspective, that is 9.2 times the size of the United States.

And here's the wild card, and it's a big one: "The Middle East". What is going to happen in the most unstable part of the world? Any major disruption in that area will cause oil prices to skyrocket. Continue reading "Daily Video Update: America doesn't run on gold, it runs on …" →

Daily Video Update: The biggest job killer is …

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 8th of October.

I've been thinking about this for a while and decided today was the perfect day to put my thoughts in writing...

I think the Internet is a job killer and not a job creator.

Here are my reasons why:

A relatively small number of staff can run a multibillion dollar company. For example, FaceBook only has 3,000 employees. Compare that to General Motors, who currently employs 202,000 folks.

Amazon, another name that is ubiquitous on the internet, has only 69,100 employees. Now compare that to traditional retailers that have millions of employees in malls across the country. More and more Americans are turning to to shop online because of its convenience and that could be the demise of many jobs in traditional shopping outlets. For example, Circuit City could not complete in the new world and quickly fell prey to the Internet. Is Best Buy the next company to throw in the towel?

Apple, the most valuable company in the world, even with its retail outlets, still only employs less than 65,000 Americans. However, Apple in China through a company called Foxconn has over 400,000 Chinese working to make iPhones, iPads, and practically everything "i" for Apple. You can only wonder what kind of impact almost half a million manufacturing jobs would have in the US. Think about what it could do for our economy.

America has to rethink, reset, readjust and retool if it is going to get serious about creating jobs in the new global internet world. Countries, including the United States, cannot just rely on past successes. History has proven time and time again that a country resting on its laurels soon becomes a country in trouble.

Daily Video Update: Debate shocker - It's what America is talking about today

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 4th of October.

I would be remiss if I didn't make a comment on last night's debate. If you didn't watch the debate, I think it's universally accepted that Governor Romney brought in his "A" game, while Pres. Obama did not seem up to the challenge.

I mention this only because we made a comment earlier in the week that "politics and markets make strange bedfellows". Based on what the world saw last night, the election just got tighter.

Today, we are seeing the markets vote on the debate and we are seeing a strong movement in equities and in precious metals. It is too early to say if this trend will continue for the rest of the day.

We'd like to hear your thoughts! Be sure to vote on the debate in today's poll. Continue reading "Daily Video Update: Debate shocker - It's what America is talking about today" →

MarketClub TV for 10/03/12: Zero hour, 9 PM ET

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 3rd of October.

All eyes will be on the presidential debate this evening at 9 PM, Eastern Time. We expect the markets will be little moved until after the first debate.

According to our poll yesterday, it would appear that Ben Bernanke has more power over the markets than both Pres. Obama and presidential challenger, Mitt Romney.

As an independently registered voter, I take my vote very seriously. I always do as much research as I can on both candidates. This video link on President Obama found its way into my mailbox. I found it very interesting and wanted to share it and I believe no matter what your political persuasion it is worth watching. If you have any interesting videos on Mitt Romney, feel free to share them with us.

Be sure to watch the debate tonight. Continue reading "MarketClub TV for 10/03/12: Zero hour, 9 PM ET" →
