Change = Opportunity = Gold

Let's face it, without change, there can be no opportunity. As traders and investors, we need to see change in order to make money.

One potential opportunity in 2014 could be gold. In 2013, gold suffered what was perhaps its worst performance as an asset in decades, losing over 25% of its value for the year. This was the first time that gold had a year-to-year loss that I can remember. So in 2014, the question has to be, what's going on with gold and is it going to redeem itself?

Looking at the chart which begins in July of 2012, you can see that gold hit its high and then basically for the next 15 months moved consecutively lower. This high is not the all-time high that was seen in August of 2011 at $1904, but the most significant high for our chart work. Continue reading "Change = Opportunity = Gold"

It's 2014, Now What?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and co-creator of MarketClub, with your market Outlook for 2014.

Well, here it is 2014, and I would like to wish all of our members, friends and traders around the world a very happy and prosperous new year.

Let's start with the indices which had a spectacular year in 2013, in fact, it was their best year since the mid-90s. Are we likely to see those same returns in 2014? I seriously doubt the indices are going to see double digit growth like they experienced last year. What I do expect to see are much more volatile markets as the Fed begins to extricate itself from its grand experiment. It certainly is not clear to anyone that we are going to get out of this "grand experiment" without any pain. You look at a stock like Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), which was certainly the star performer last year managing a gain of 296% for the year, can that continue?

According to a recent poll our blog at least a 50% of the voters expected the trend to continue in 2013. I'm not so convinced, but I would like to see what the Trade Triangles say and go with that strategy in 2014. Continue reading "It's 2014, Now What?"

Are Stocks On Your Christmas Wishlist?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and co-creator of MarketClub, with your video update for Friday, the 20th of December.

Amazon

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) moved over the $400 a share level for the first time in its history. I have been positive on Amazon since June 7th of this year, when the monthly Trade Triangle kicked in at $277.40. It is clear now, to almost everyone, that Amazon is the 900lbs gorilla in the retail space. It's going to be almost impossible to dislodge them from this position, in my opinion. Certainly the new generation of shoppers are going to bypass the Walmarts (NYSE:WMT) and the Targets (NYSE:TGT) of the world, especially when you think of the security breach that took place at Target just recently. I expect Amazon to trend higher.

Is This Stock A Lemon?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and co-creator of MarketClub, with your video update for Monday, the 16th of December.

This Stock Is A Lemon

Today, I'm going to be looking at the stock of Lululemon (NASDAQ:LULU). This stock reminds me of Crocs (NASDAQ:CROX) as a one-hit wonder. Certainly there has been turmoil in the offices of Lululemon as their founder was moved out of the picture. Technically the stock looks like a disaster and I'll be giving some you projections about how low I think this market can go in today's video.

Let us know what you think of LULULEMON (NASDAQ:LULU) and how low you think it can go. Leave your comments below. Continue reading "Is This Stock A Lemon?"

Amazon's Drone Deliveries And The Best Holiday Gift Of All

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and co-creator of MarketClub, with your video update for Monday, the 2nd of December.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! As we are now into December, we can all look toward the end of the year. Despite the eight strong weeks we've seen, some folks are calling the current up move a bubble.

They could be right, but the trend is your friend and the trend is clearly on the upside for many stocks, particularly the ones that I have been talking about for most of the year.

I talked about perception just before the Thanksgiving holiday and how it is one of the most powerful forces in the market. The perception now is these markets can and will move higher, perhaps to some of the levels I outlined in my special report on the major indices.
