Today's Video Update: What's Going To Kill This Bull 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 1st of May.

Fed Reports at 2pm ET
Today at 2pm, the Fed will announce its intentions with its bond buying program. I am expecting the Fed's decision will remain pretty much unchanged.

What's Going To Kill This Bull Market?
I would not expect to see any groundbreaking news coming out of today's Fed announcement. However, the Fed is going to be the one that kills this improbable bull market. It would appear that most people are still not sure the economy is good and corporate America is certainly on that same band wagon. Corporate America has cut expenses to the bone and we don't believe they're going to have any more room to cut costs. Any future growth is going to have to come through growing profits, which is at the moment, a difficult proposition. Thank goodness for technical analysis and our Trade Triangle technology, which has captured most of the move in the indices and major stocks.

Today's Video Update: Can We Trust 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 24th of April.

Can We Trust This Market?
A number of years ago when Ben Bernanke took over the chairmanship of the Fed, little did anybody predict that he would be single-handedly supporting the entire stock market. I asked several colleagues of mine over the past few days, "what would happen should the quantitative easing that Ben put in place stop?" They all gave me the same answer, "the market would crash." That is not a particularly compelling reason to own stocks, in my opinion, if stocks are been artificially held up. I have said this before, the trend is your friend, and as far as the DOW is concerned, the trend remains positive.

What Now Apple?
Yesterday, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) announced their earnings and while there was some good news, there was also some bad news. The bad news is that their profit margins continue to shrink and that coupled with no new innovation coming out of Apple anytime soon, does not spell out a particularly rosy scenario for this stock.

Today's Video Newsletter: A Snake, an iWatch and the State of the Union

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 11th of February.

2013-THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE
Yesterday was the beginning of Chinese New Year, the year of the snake. Traditionally, the Chinese set off fireworks to mark this holiday and celebrations take place throughout China. This year, sales of fireworks were 37% less than in previous years. This was said to reflect a government appeal to ignite fewer fireworks to avoid more pollution in the cities. The year of the snake means it's going to be a year of steady progress, focus and discipline for the nation of China. Given the crazy world that we are living in, steady progress, focus and discipline are not a bad way to go IMHO.
