Today's Video Update: Is The Market Running Out Of Gas?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 10th of May.

Running Out Of Gas Or Is Complacency Setting In?
The market has two enemies, gravity and complacency. It would appear as though complacency in this market is becoming more and more of the norm, which is a definite danger and warning sign. The type of complacent attitude we are seeing tends to give birth to the market's second enemy, gravity. Earlier this week, we produced a short video explaining how a simple technical formation known as a "parallel channel" may be indicating that we are close to an interim top for this market.

Today's Video Update: Is a Parallel Channel Indicating a Top For This Market?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 8th of May.

Is a Parallel Channel Indicating a Top For This Market?
One of the biggest enemies of investors is being too complacent. I feel that this malady is very much the case in today's market. I believe investors should be concerned and should be using money management stops on all of their long positions. We have not seen any type of significant pullback since the recent low on April 18th. In today's daily update, we are going to be looking at a parallel channel, which could be marking a new term top for this market. The parallel channel started in mid November of last year and has remarkably contained most of the action for the past six months. I think you'll find this video to be particularly interesting today.

Today's Video Update: Stocks Subdued After Record Week

Hello traders everywhere! Jeremy Lutz here, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 6th of May.

Stocks are little changed after record week
The stock market cleared new milestones Friday after the government reported that employers added more workers. However, that hasn't translated into a strong Monday open as investors turned more cautious, focusing once again on the problems facing the global economy. Though growth in the U.S. is holding up well, it is slowing in China. The 17 country Eurozone remains in recession and unemployment there has been hitting a series of record highs.

On Investor's Minds:
United States - homegrown terrorists
North Korea - an agent for China?
Europe - ITALY has a government. YEAH!
The FED - OMG do they know what they are doing?
May 19th – Debt ceiling suspension expire

Every Success,

Today's Video Update: Jobs Report Sends Market To All-Time Highs

U.S. Employers Add 165K Jobs
U.S. employers added 165,000 jobs in April, and hiring was much stronger in the previous two months than the government first estimated. The job increases helped reduce the unemployment rate from 7.6 percent to a four-year low of 7.5 percent.
