MarketClub TV for 10/24/12: October can be a tough month for stocks

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 24th of October.

For the first time in five months the market is lower for the month by almost 2%. October can be a very cruel month for stocks. Some of the biggest stock plunges in financial history have all occurred, coincidentally, in October.

THE BIG THREE PLUNGES

Oct. 29, 1929, the Dow plunged a substantial 12.8 percent. However, it didn’t stop there.

Oct. 19, 1987, the stock market lost $1 trillion in value in the next few weeks.

Oct. 2008, saw a start of a market melt down. The problems began months before, but October was the worst month. Continue reading "MarketClub TV for 10/24/12: October can be a tough month for stocks"

Daily Video Update: Earnings sink the markets and Spain gets downgraded AGAIN!

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 23rd of October.

It is as if the world just woke up from a fantasy dream and they are seeing the markets for the first time through reality glasses.

According to comments made this morning from the Head of the Bank of Israel, Stanley Fisher, the "world is close to recession". He just might be right.

You know what I am going to say next…

Using our Trade Triangle technology, not knowing what the head of the Bank of Israel was going to say this morning, you would have missed the current downdraft in the major markets today and yesterday. In fact, you would have been on the sidelines for the past two weeks! Taking a position on the sidelines, is a position in and of itself.

Daily Video Update: The most important debate in American politics takes place tonight. Are you going to watch?

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

One of the big untold stories in 2012 is the fact that the stock market is up 15% for the year and has outperformed every other asset class. The last time this happened was in 1995, so it is pretty unusual. With a couple of months to go before year end, we'll see how things play out.

Now, it could be argued that the massive ongoing stimulus acted to propel stocks higher. It could also be argued that it was the policies of this current administration that pushed stocks up. Either way, the market is higher for the year. As traders we try not to think about who or what is causing a market to move, we simply like to get the direction right and go with the major trend.

SkyWest Takes Off


Listening to analysts' stock ratings can be a tricky thing. After all, there are always many different opinions floating around, and some analysts change their rating in the blink of an eye.

Listening to the market however, is the only way to make a non-emotional and educated decision.

SkyWest Inc.(SKYW), traded on the NASDAQ, has had a shaky year. Analysts seem to flipflop their outlook for this airline stock. On September 12th, a Dahlman Rose analyst sent a note to investors upgrading shares from a sell to a hold rating. Two days later, Continue reading "SkyWest Takes Off"

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 19th of October.

The sad news is I don't think it has. A panic, is a panic, is a panic. The reality is when everybody wants out of the market at the same time there are not enough doors open to stop a mass exodus. That is the history and nature of market crashes and it is why they are called panics.
