Today's Video Update: Don't Worry About The Price Of Gas, This Agency Has It Under Control

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

Don't Worry About The Price Of Gas, This Agency Has It Under Control
Back on 8/4/1977, the Department of Energy was instituted TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.
34 years ago, 30% of our oil consumption was foreign imports. Today, 70% of our oil consumption is foreign imports. Pretty efficient, huh???

And now it's 2013, 36 years later, and the budget for this "NECESSARY" department is at $24.2 BILLION A YEAR. It has 16,000 federal employees and approximately 100,000 contract employees and look at the job they have done! (This is where you slap your forehead and say, "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?")

Ah yes, good old Federal bureaucracy.

Now we have turned over the banking system, healthcare, and the auto industry to the same government. Does that make sense to anyone besides the government? Continue reading "Today's Video Update: Don't Worry About The Price Of Gas, This Agency Has It Under Control"

Today's Video Update: Rearranging The Deck Chairs On The Titanic

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 2nd of April.

Rearranging The Deck Chairs On The Titanic
Yesterday, it was reported that a “a company owned by in-laws of Cypriot President, Nicos Anastasiades, withdrew millions from Laiki Bank on March 12 and 13," according to an article published in Cypriot newspaper, Haravgi. Today we are learning that Michael Sarris, the finance minister of Cyprus, has resigned. I expect we will be seeing more revelations coming out of Cyprus in the days and weeks ahead. I believe that Cyprus is the tip of the iceberg and is the catalyst of destruction in Europe. With unemployment in Europe officially at 12% and unemployment for young people in Spain at 55%, one can only think it's a matter of time before things erupt into civil disobedience. Europe cannot grow itself out of this mess and the austerity measures being demanded provide little to no hope for Europe to survive. Under its present economic and political circumstances, I think it's only a matter of time before the ship goes down with no lifeboats!

Today's Video Update: Washington - We Have A Problem

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 1st of April.

Washington - We Have A Problem
That seems to be the secret message that Europe is sending to America. With little to no fanfare, it was announced last Friday (Good Friday) that Jack Lew, the newly appointed Treasury Secretary, will be heading to Europe for a series of meetings with finance ministers in early April. When I heard the news of Jack Lew's trip to Europe, it immediately threw up a red warning flag that things are not going well in Europe and they may need America's help, which is interesting as we are drowning in debt ourselves. When this news story broke, I was appearing on Fox Business News with Liz Claman. Continue reading "Today's Video Update: Washington - We Have A Problem"

Today he is going to take a look at the technical picture of the GBPUSD Forex Pair (GBPUSD).

Today let's take a look at the GBPUSD, which is possibly setting up a good opportunity to go long.

The GBPUSD is probably making a Head and Shoulders bottom and if it breaks out above the Neckline that would be a very bullish sign that this pair is heading higher.

With Forex MarketClub uses the weekly Trade Triangle for trend direction and MarketClub uses the daily Trade Triangle for timing, so if the GBPUSD puts in a green daily Trade Triangle, we could consider going long.

The MACD is rising and if the GBPUSD continues higher, the MACD will move through the zero line. Continue reading "Chart to Watch - GBPUSD"
