Daily Video Update: OMG - It's the Godfather movie all over again, as Europe makes nice with Greece

Posted on by The INO.com Team

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

Earlier today, German Chancellor Merkel along with French Prime Minister Hollande made another "warm and fuzzy" statement directed towards Greece. They both agreed that they want Greece to stay in the Eurozone. What it possibly implied was, "we are nice guys, so don't blame us when we kill you". It was a classic political touch.

It reminded me of a scene from the Godfather movie... first you sit down with someone who thinks you are their friend, have an enjoyable glass of wine and tell them what they want to hear, and then you kill them!

In this case Merkel and Hollande are not killing a person, but rather an entire country. Sooner or later, Greece is going to leave or get kicked out of the Eurozone. It is just a question of when it is going to happen.

P.S. Anybody want to buy the Greek island?

Most markets are lower for the week, with the exception of the metals, energy, and the CRB commodity Index. The commodity markets are all indicating that inflationary pressure is headed our way. So stay sharp, and protect yourself with our Trade Triangle technology.

Daily Video Update: Is the stealth rally over in stocks and has the bull market in gold just begun?

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 23rd of August.

The question on everyone's thoughts and minds has to be, is the stealth rally over in stocks and has the bull market in gold just begun?

Back on Tuesday, we warned that Tuesdays tend to be reversals days. We also did a recent poll asking if you thought the market was going to close lower or higher for the week. Results were remarkably close, almost a 50-50 split, so there's an equal number of people who are bullish and others who are still bearish on this market.

Overall the equity markets are lower for the week. Should we close at current levels or lower on Friday, it will mark the first time in six weeks that we've seen profit-taking coming into the market on a little more volume. Volume for the most part in this stealth rally has been low, very low, which is sometimes a clue that stocks are moving higher on little to no fresh buying.

We expect the S&P 500 to move back to the midpoint of its Donchian Trading Channel. That would bring the market down to the $1,390 to $1,380 level. Let's see how the markets close out the week tomorrow.

It is official, all of our Trade Triangles are positive on Gold today. Now, let's analyze the major markets and stocks on the move using MarketClub's Trade Triangle Technology.

Daily Video Update : Is a market correction ahead or is this market going to make it seven weeks in a row?

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 20th of August.

The US equity markets have closed higher six weeks in a row. While this is not an impossible feat, it is rather unusual to see a market move higher six weeks in a row without seeing some sort of correction. We think one of the reasons the markets have moved higher is very light volume.

We still have all the problems we had before, Europe, the elections coming up in November, China slowing down, and none of this is going away anytime soon. So is this week going to end up higher, or are we going to close lower for the week? We are skeptical the market can stitch together seven weeks of higher closing in a row given the proximity of major resistance at the April highs.

Now, let's analyze the major markets and stocks on the move using MarketClub's Trade Triangle Technology.

Daily Update: How many ways can Europe kick the can down the road?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Due to technical difficulties we will not be posting a video today.

Hello MarketClub members everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market report for Friday, the 17th of August.

Yesterday the markets shrugged off negative news and focused on the comments from German Chancellor, Angela Merkel. Ms. Merkel, who just returned from vacation, has somehow miraculously endorsed the European Central Bank’s conditional support for Spain and Italy. On the other side of the coin, a Finnish official has suggested that Euro zone leaders are preparing for the worst, including a possible breakup of the currency bloc.

Upon further inspection, Ms. Merkel's statements of support leave room for a great deal of interpretation. We see it quite simply as delay, delay, delay, and yet another way for politicians to kick the can down the road.
