Today's Video Update: What Goes Up, Must Come Down...Right?

June 17, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 17th of June.

Are High Gas Prices Going To Squash The Economic Recovery?
Last week, all of our Trade Triangles jumped into a positive position, indicating that crude oil prices are headed higher once again. Some of that can be attribute to the events in the Middle East, mainly in Syria. The move higher also has to do with the technical makeup of the market. This market has been moving sideways for a while and seems poised to want to break over the $100 barrel level in the not-too-distant future. This increase in gasoline prices would come at a terrible time for most Americans, as summer driving tends to drive up demand for gas. I will be covering crude oil in today's video.

What Goes Up, Must Come Down... Right?
The battle continues between the Bulls and the Bears as the markets continue to vacillate both on the upside and downside. Certainly, my call to be on the sidelines for intermediate-term traders has proven to be a wise one. I continue to think that the longer-term trend for the equity markets remains in a positive mode, but it's more of a sideways pattern that we are seeing in the major indices right now.

Today's Video Update: Coming Soon To A Gas Station Near You

June 14, 2013 By 1 Comment

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 14th of June.

Coming Soon To A Gas Station Near You
Today we witnessed a massive move to new highs in crude oil, pushing all our Trade Triangles into the green, indicating that higher prices are likely ahead for this commodity. This translates into higher prices at the pump for everyone in America. The question of course will be, is this going to create a problem for the fragile economic recovery? This market has created a large technical formation that we will be discussing in today's video.

Equity Markets Are Choppy
The war between the Bulls and the Bears continues this Friday with no clear trend direction. The longer-term trend continues up, while the intermediate-term trend is indicating weakness. This translates to a neutral market position for us. If you are using our Trade Triangle technology, you can quickly see which markets are headed higher, which ones are neutral, and which are falling. We will be running through all the major indices in today's video. [Read more...]

Today's Video Update: Choppy Markets Reflect Investor Anxiety

June 12, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 12th of June.

Choppy Markets Reflect Investor Anxiety
It probably feels like you are on a bicycle peddling very fast and not going anywhere. Here it is a week later and the DOW (INDEX:DJI) is basically unchanged. In the meantime, we have witnessed many up and down days. It seems there is a war going on right now between the bulls and bears and the stakes are very high.

The bulls clearly see the Fed as their friend, and providing that the Fed continues to pump money into the system, they have a good argument. You can't fight unlimited printing presses. The bears on the other hand, don't believe the economy is going so well, not just here in States, but they are also seeing a global slowdown both in Europe and Asia. The bears argue that if the Fed begins to taper its purchases, which now total $85 billion a month, the market is likely to tank. The old trading adage here is that the markets "slide faster than they glide," meaning markets go down much faster than they go up. Currently our Trade Triangles are neutral on the market, indicating that you should be on the sidelines at the moment. I need to see this war between the bulls and the bears resolved before I commit to one trend or the other. [Read more...]

Forget OPEC, North American Energy Plays Bring Profits Home

June 12, 2013 By Leave a Comment

The Energy Report: Byron, welcome. You recently attended the Platts Conference in London, which addressed shifting energy trade patterns in light of growing U.S. export prospects and dwindling exports from South America and Africa. Has OPEC's role diminished?

Byron King: The short answer is yes. OPEC is struggling right now. The Middle East, the West African producers and Venezuela are struggling. The West African players and Venezuela have seen exports to the U.S. decline dramatically. In countries like Algeria, oil exports to the U.S. are essentially zero, while Nigeria's exports to the U.S. are way down. The oil these countries export tends to be the lighter, sweeter crude, which happens to be the product that is increasing in production in the U.S. through fracking.

The east-to-west trade pattern for oil imports to the U.S. has essentially gone away. This does not mean that the oil goes away. It means these countries have to find new markets for their oil which they are doing, in India and the Far East. But that disrupts trade patterns as well. Imports from the Middle East to the U.S. are falling as well. These barrels tend to be the heavier, sourer crude that U.S. refineries are geared to process. [Read more...]

Today's Video Update: Apple's Big Day And Waze To Go Google

June 10, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 10th of June.

Apple's Big Day
Today, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) kicks off its developers conference in San Francisco. This is the day that the Apple-faithful have been patiently waiting for. It is widely speculated that Apple will announce IOS 7, a new operating system, and perhaps some other upgrades. No new disruptive technologies are expected to be announced at this conference, but with Apple you never know. One of the presenters today is Sir Jonathan Paul "Jony" Ive, who is the genius designer for many of Apple's most recent products. In my opinion, Jony was the main creative force behind Steve Jobs. The new operating system is rumored to be cleaner, simpler and “flatter”, moving away from the skeuomorphic design. Apple is also expected to announce a new music service that's going to go head-to-head with the likes of Pandora, Spotify, and other online streaming music platforms. Let's put everything in perspective, Apple has 500 million users, Pandora has less than 70 million. Mathematically, this gives Apple a huge advantage in terms of creating a really successful, new income-producing music service. Initially iRadio, as the name is rumored to be, will be supported by ads, and eventually it will end up becoming a recurring revenue product. I will be covering Apple in today's daily update.

Today's Video Update: Is The 2013 Bull Market Over?

June 7, 2013 By 1 Comment

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 7th of June.

Is The 2013 Bull Market In Stocks Over?
2013 will go down in the history books as the fastest start of the any year since 1998. Having said that, there are some challenges in the market right now as we have recently seen the market tumble 3.6%. We also discussed the slowdown in Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) and Target (NYSE:TGT) stores, as both companies missed their forecasted earnings. All signs that the economy is slowing down. Currently, the economy hasn't picked up to the point where the Fed can abandon its monthly $85 billion purchase program. That could also lend to some stability in the marketplace. In today's video, I am going to examine how we see the market and how today's close could determine the trend for the coming week.

Early Warning System And The Yen
The Japanese Yen has strengthened against the US dollar to the surprise of many traders. Having a non-emotional approach to the market, like the Trade Triangles, can pay off consistently. If you haven't seen my "Early Warning System" video you may watch it here. [Read more...]

Potential Oil Glut! Raymond James Analyst's Contrarian Forecast

June 5, 2013 By 1 Comment

The Energy Report: Why are you expecting an oil glut in 2014?

Andrew Coleman: Because of the evolution of North American shale oil plays, we are on track to add about 3 million barrels (3 MMbbl) of new supply over the next five years. Yet we know oil demand has been falling across the developed nations and is still weak coming out of the global financial crisis. Those developments point toward a glut.

TER: Saudi Arabia surprised you last year by cutting production when oil was more than $110 per barrel ($110/bbl). Why would Saudi or other suppliers not do that again?

AC: What hurt production outside the U.S. last year and helped keep the demand side a little more in balance was that Saudi cut 800,000 barrels a day (800 Mbbl/d) in Q4/12, sanctions in Iran reduced exports by about 800 Mbbl/d as well, conflict in Sudan took 300 Mbbl/d offline and the North Sea average was lower by about 130 Mbbl/d. These reductions kept last year's supply more balanced than we thought it would be. Going forward, Saudi's ability or willingness to cut is certainly going to be tested, because by our model the country may need to cut 1.5 million barrels a day (1.5 MMbbl/d), about double what it cut last year. It would have to do that for a longer period of time, given the amount of excess storage that could show up on the global markets.

TER: But, as you just pointed out, Saudi Arabia's cut came in the context of actions by other players. The other players are going to be as unpredictable as they were last year, aren't they? [Read more...]

What's Ahead For June?
It's May 31st, the last trading day of the month and the week. In today's video, I will look ahead into our crystal ball (just kidding!) and share with you what I see coming up in June. You might be surprised at my conclusions.

The 52-Week Rule
I learned this rule many years ago from a trader named Bill, when I was trading in the pits of the Chicago Mercantile where I was a member. Over the years, it has proven to have a high degree of success. Just remember, there are no guarantees made or implied that this approach works with every trade. I suggest you watch it, paper trade it, and draw your own conclusions. Here are the three rules you need to trade "The 52-Week New Highs on Friday Rule": [Read more...]

Whack-a-Mole (Japanese Nikkei is the Latest Bubble)

May 30, 2013 By

Alan Greenspan gave them the playbook (Credit & Debt Manipulation 101) and now Ben Bernanke and global inflators everywhere have taken the ball and run with it in new, innovative and levered up ways.  Actually it’s a game of Whack-a-Mole and they play it well, these inflating moles.  The minute you think you’re going to drop the hammer on one of their heads, he’s gone and another one pops up elsewhere.

So how can we follow all the data points that hands-on, manipulative policy has introduced and forecast conclusions with accuracy?  The answer is that it is difficult in the short-term, but in the long-term we are all dead anyway, so we might as well use some inflationary bubbles of the past as a road map to what may be ahead.

There are currently several bubbles (and one anti-bubble*) in play over varying time frames.  These bubbles are the direct result of policy actions.  Last weekend we reviewed the bubble in Japan’s Nikkei in relation to its policy-induced crashing of the Yen and then last week wouldn’t you know that the Yen caught a bid and the Nikkei suffered an incredibly bearish day?
